Youthforia Night Off Deep Cleaning Green Tea Jelly Cleanser

Image
  This gel dissolves into a gorgeous creamy lather to feels hydrating on my face.  It removes all of my makeup without much effort which is great on for my sensitive skin.  My eye makeup comes off with easy without any irritation or redness that other gel cleanser have done in the past;  Once I have removed it using a washcloth my skin feels soft without stickiness that other gel cleanser have left behind.  My face does not feel tight once the skin has tried it feels soft and hydrate there is no rush for me to put on my moisturizer.

St. Tropez Luxe Tan Tonic Drops

Image
  I like to add one drop to a basic moisturizer and apply it with a brush to create definition and contour. This has been the best product I have used in this way as I am able to control depth of colour and where I want more definition. In the summer I might increase to two drops.

Neostrata Restore Bionic Face Cream

Image
 The name is a little misleading as I would call it a balm rather than a cream. It is a thick rich cream that melts into the skin leaving my skin feeling soft, hydrated and protected from the wind. I have noticed that the redness on my cheeks and nose has reduced since using this. Wrinkles are less noticeable, and skin looks and feels healthy.

B. Perfect Chroma Concealer

Image
This is the first time I have found a concealer that matches my skin tone. I like to layer this with the MAC concealer. The MAC concealer is a more peach tone so that goes on first then the B. Perfect Chroma.  I do this when the darkness under my eyes is a little more prominent. This is the concealer that I use to tone down the redness on my nose and cheek area. I wear it daily. It blends perfectly into my skin, does not feel dry or look cakey.  

Philip Kingsley Bond Builder Lipid Shield Oil

Image
This is the final part of the QVC UK TSV. This is for those of us who have damaged hair and want to repair it. This fatty acid in the product helps restore the lipid layer that has been damaged by heat styling, chemical processes and colour-treating. I apply 2-3 drops to the mid lengths and ends using the praying hands method after washing and conditioning before allowing it to dry naturally. Once dry my hair feels softer and less frizzy than before using it. I use this every time I wash my hair once a week. You can apply it to dry hair, but I have not tried yet. I will get back to you when I have.  

Philip Kingsley Coconut Breeze Moisture Balancing Combination Conditioner

Image
This is part of the Coconut Breeze collection that was a QVCUK TSV in September 2022. Again, it’s the second smell from their range I have tried and it’s fantastic. This time I sectioned my hair into two after I rinsed the shampoo off. One pump is applied to the section from mid lengths and ends with praying hands, then raked through if I am going to do the ‘curly girl’ method I would also scrunch the conditioner into my hair. My hair feels like silk once dried. I just wish the coconut smell would last longer. 

Philip Kingsley Coconut Breeze Body Building Shampoo

Image
This is part of the Philip Kingsley TSV from QVC UK that was aired during September 2022. This shampoo has a mild coconut scent that reminds me of foreign holidays. It is the second version of their Body Building Shampoo I have tried and will be try more of them in the future. I section my hair into four. I use one pump per section working it into my scalp especially the areas that I know where I perspire more. Once I have done that, I thoroughly rinse my hair and then apply a second pump all over my scalp. This time I have more foam this time. Once I have rinsed it off again, I can already feel that my hair is clean. Once air dried it has a voluminous look to it.
