Products received in box: Polaar IcePure Gentle Scrub with Artic Cotton, ModelCo Baked Blush -Frose, Beautaniq Beauty Fill+Tame Gel – Brunette, Cath Kidson Handcream, Hask Monoi Coconut Nourishing Deep Conditioner.



Polaar IcePure Gentle Scrub with Artic Cotton
This is a pale green cream with dark green particles.  This product will not be repurchased as my skin reacted to the rough particles.  If the particles in the cream were smoother then I think I would repurchase it as my skin did seem softer and smoother.
ModelCo Baked Blush -Frose
It has swirls of pink, pearl white and gold.  Looks a scary bright pink on the blusher brush.  Blends well and gives a natural pink hue to my cheeks though I did think it would leave a sheen like a highlighter, but it didn’t.  It lasted well and didn’t go patchy like some blushers have in the past.


 Cath Kidson Handcream
This is a thick cream that absorbs into the skin easily.  There is a faint fragrance that does not linger on the skin.  There is no residue left on the skin once massaged in.  Hands feel soft and hydrated.  I will be re-purchasing this product.



Hask Monoi Coconut Nourishing Deep Conditioner
This is a very thick silky mask with a faint coconut smell.  I wish the package I had was smaller or had the ability to save the remaining product.  This mask has left my hair feeling soft and hydrated.  I had no frizzy bits once I left my hair to dry naturally.  I will be purchasing this again.


Beautaniq Beauty Fill+Tame Gel – Brunette
A good alternative to Benefit’s Gimme Brow.  I used the product as if it was Gimme Brow, it covered any greys and filled in gaps that I had.  I would re-purchase this if there is a problem getting Gimme Brow+.

Sukin Micellar Cleansing Water

Bottle of Sukin Micellar Cleansing Water My hubby and I have been using Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, he had read an article in a newspaper and wanted to try it.  This has a fresh smell and both of us like it.  It cleanses the skin well and copes brilliantly with Benefit Roller Lash, it removes it without much rubbing.  I would hold the cotton pad to my eye for a few seconds before gently swiping it away.  There is no residue or stickiness, the fragrance doesn’t last long on the skin once the water is swiped over the skin.  We use both sides of the cotton pad remembering to wipe behind our ears.  Think we will be buying more of it and other products from their range.

Fenty Beauty Icon Semi Matte Lipstick

These are sample sizes which are generous in size.  They are a semi-matte lipstick and smell delicious of cocoa. They are very pigmented which means that they can be applied straight from the bullet, with a brush or with your fingers depending on the look you want to create.  They are long lasting and did not make my lips peel or feel dry.  Pose Queen – is a colour I would wear on those days that I am doing the weekly shopping in jeans etc. It great a great nude and I would wear it on my cheeks too maybe not my eyes – well that’s something to try in the future. The MVP – now this is the date or special occasion lipstick that you want to wear when you want everyone to notice you.  You want to feel powerful. Again, I might wear it on my cheeks – a small amount applied with fingers. Scholar Sista – perfect colour for the office and those Brunch dates.  It’s a shade that will go with everything and make you feel polished, professional.

Bottle of Bleach London Fade to Grey Shampoo Who for: Anyone who wants to maintain their grey hair colour First impressions: Scary colour for a shampoo After one week: Hair is softer and looks greyer than without After one month: To be updated Stockists: Bleach London, Boots, Superdrug, Cult Beauty, LookFantastic I want to improve the salt and pepperiness of my hair.  Well I would like to dye to grey but hubby won’t let me, and this is the nearest I can get to improving the greyness of my hair.  One piece of advice wash your hands after using the shampoo as it has stained my nails – not that I mind I want grey nails too.  The colour of the shampoo is a dark grey violet and is thick and unctuous.  I was a little worried as a patch of my hair seemed not to like it as it became thick and stiff.  But when I washed my hair and applied the second lot of shampoo, my hair became soft and nourished.  The way my hair feels after two washes of my hair with the shamp
