Collonil Leather Gel Care Review

Heyyy heyyyy heyyyyyy! I hope everyone is having a lovely week...FRIDAY TOMORROW wooohoo!! I just thought I would write a little review on the Collonil Leather Gel because I know when I got my first ever leather designer bag, I had no idea which product I should use to protect it. So for all you leather bag lovers out there listen up because I couldn't recommend this product enough :) 

What they say: Collonil Leather Gel is a solvent-free gentle gel to improve the water resistance of certain leathers. It can help leather to resist dirt and moisture. This leather gel can be used on- Natural Leather; Printed Leather; Pebbled Leather; Soft Spongy Leather; Glazed Goat; Soft Buffalo; Glossy Buffalo; Glossy Goat; Spongy Pebbled; Soft Calf; Nappa; and Reverse Croc 

Soooo...I have two leather handbag. I have a Michael Kors Totes Bag In Taupe which I got for Christmas and a Mulberry Baywater in Oxblood which I got for a graduation present! I have to say I am a very lucky girly and I am extremely grateful to my mam and dad for buying them for me!

I honestly use them everyday whether it is shopping with the girlies, out for tea, visiting family..just everyday outings. I just think why not? You want to get your money's worth and they are both very classic looking bags that go with most outfits  Summer or Winter. The only thing about using the bags often is they can become worn and look a bit grubby.I know people say it adds to the character of the bag but sometimes I just want the leather to look shiny and clean again. Also with the Taupe bag been such a light colour my blue denim jeans have rubbed off onto it before HUMPH! Soooooo this is where the Collonil Gel comes in. 

What I say: I use the gel every other month just to give my bags a once over and to keep them in good condition. The results are amazing. I always use a dust cloth to apply the gel as they're very soft against the leather. When using the product I simply dip the cloth into the gel and apply it straight onto the bag, making sure I rub the gel into the bag so no gel is visible anymore. After covering the whole bag in the gel I wait around 10-15 minutes to make sure it is dry and all the gel has soaked in properly. There you have it. Quick and as easy as that.Your bag is ready to show off on them daily outings again. 

If you have any sort of leather bag/ purse etc I would honestly advise you to get a hold of this gel. You can buy it off the mulberry website for £8 or get it a little cheaper on eBay which is where I purchased mine from.

What do you use to protect your leather fashion items?

Do you love this product as much as me?

Let me know your thoughts.

Lots of love

Tu Clothing Haul

Every now and again Sainsburys have 25% off all of their TU clothing and accessories and I always seems to pick up some lovely items so I thought I would share some of my recent purchases. Sainsburys clothing are a reasonable price already so with an extra 25% off the price its AMAZING! oh and if you've got a nectar card you get points aswell...Extra BONUS! 

The first thing I picked up at the front of the store was a lovely knitted polo neck jumper in grey, which has a multicoloured speckled effect (green,camel,black,grey). Sometimes I am a bit funny about knitted jumpers because I have came across jumpers that I love but that are far too itchy on my skin. I can honestly say this jumper is so cosy and doesn't itch at all. This jumper is great for a casual autumn and winter look and was only £16.50, originally £22.  I bought this jumper in a size 12 as I wanted it to look a little oversized, but would normally wear a size 8. I wore it the other day to go for lunch and teamed it up with my Topshop black joni jeans,  Zara leather jacket, H&M ankle boots and Mulberry Ox blood Bayswater. You can also get this knitted jumper in blue with multicoloured pink purple speckles. 

I also picked up a Suede Tan Mini Skirt. I have been looking for skirt like this for a while to go into my wardrobe but with having a big bum and thighs I find it hard to get skirt to fit right. However, after trying this on in the fitting rooms I couldn't resist, it was PERFECT. The skirt has a little bronze detail zip at the back and the material is a soft suede so doesn't cling to my legs. At £13.50, originally £18 I knew it was a MUST HAVE item. 

I wore this skirt for a night out in Liverpool and teamed it up with a black polo neck top with no sleeves, black lace up heels,a tortoise shell clutch bag, my Olivia Burton watch and some Mocha Barry M nailvarnish. 

I can't wait till the right occasion comes along and I can wear this skirt with a big knitted jumper, thick tights, ankle boots and fedora hat. SOOO cosy! 


Finally, I fell in love with these tan leather loafers. They're real leather and literally are the most comfortablest shoes EVER! I think its because the leather is really soft around the sides and heel area. I just LOVE the detail on the shoes with the fine stitching around the edges and the fringe fronts. I bought these shoes at £18.75, originally £25. Just such a BARGAIN..as places like Office are selling very similar ones for around £60. 

When I purchased all of these items my mam also bought me another jumper but its for Christmas so I will show you all in my Christmas post. eeeeeek..its literally so CLOSE. Anyone started their shopping yet?

I hope you liked this TU Clothing Haul as much as I like my purchases. Keep an eye out for the next 25% off and get down to your location Sainsburys store and pick up some bargains. 

Lots of love
