Products received in box: Eyeko Skinny Liquid, Native Unearthed Activated Charcoal Natural Deodorant Balm, Doucce Luscious Lip Stain, Marcelle New Age Precision 8-in-1 Power Serum, Greenfrog Botanic Botanical Bodywash – Geranium and Peppermint


Native Unearthed Activated Charcoal Natural Deodorant Balm
This is a thick gritty paste, that changes into a serum once massaged between the fingers before applying to the armpit.  It has a nice fragrance and left my armpit area dry to touch after walking 2 Miles in the sunshine.  Not sure if I would repurchase it



Greenfrog Botanic Botanical Bodywash – Geranium and Peppermint
Sorry I didn’t like the fragrance or the fact that it didn’t lather as much as I expected.  My skin felt tight and itchy after using it.  I won’t be repurchasing it.



Eyeko Skinny Liquid                             
This eye liner gives you the ability to draw a thin or thick line close to the top lashes.  As can be seen in the picture you can create the perfect flick with the tip.  Lasts all day and is a true black.  Just wish they did other colours e.g. blue, grey or brown.



Marcelle New Age Precision 8-in-1 Power Serum
This is an opaque gel that is lightweight nor sticky.  I used a pea sized amount which I warmed up between my fingers then patted onto my face and neck.  Using small circular motions, I massaged the product into my neck and face.  Finally, I gently pressed the product into my face and neck.  As it was absorbed into my skin I noticed a tightening effect that helped reduce fine lines.  I looked like I had a decent night’s sleep, but I hadn’t.  I would re-purchase this if could walk into a store to buy it.

Doucce Luscious Lip Stain
I like the colour of the lip stain.  It did feel dry and tight when I first put it on.  That said it didn’t dry my lips or make them peel as some lipsticks/stains have done so in the past.  It lasted all day and didn’t bleed into the lines around my mouth.  I would re-purchase this product but not this shade maybe a nude one instead.

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
