Glamglow Supercleanse
This is mucky green gel that foamed nicely once water was added to it.  Unfortunately, my skin didn’t like it as I massaged it in I felt itchy patches appearing.  I feel that this product is more suited to a younger skin than mine.  Once I washed it off my skin felt tight and sore.






Ella Eden Compact Eyeshadow - Julia
Unfortunately, my eyeshadow was broken when I received it.  I like the colour and the gentle sheen.  This is a colour I would wear when wearing jeans and t-shirt and want to look polished natural make-up.  The colour pay-off is great and blended well.  It lasted all day.



Benefit The POREfessional Pearl Primer
This primer reminds me of the Benefit High Beam, it’s a pearly pink colour.  A small amount goes along way.  This primer leaves the skin looking flawless and with a faint sheen.  I wouldn’t wear high beam with this as at my age I would I feel look like mutton dressed as lamb.  This wold be my night out primer when I want to look luminous or if I was having a bad day and wanted to look health.  It has a slight sweet fragrance which is lovely not very noticeable once applied.  Held my make-up in place all day, my foundation didn’t sit in my pores which I love.

Number 4 Jour d'automne Smoothing Balm
This is a white balm that was easily applied to my hair, but my hair didn’t like it as once it was dry it felt crunchy and was not shiny but dull and dirty looking.





Polaar Velvety Sun Fluid Face & Body
This cream was absorbed into my skin easily and felt a slight shiny residue.  My skin felt soft and not sticky.  I was able to apply my primer and foundation etc.  They didn’t rub off as I applied them.




Whittards of Chelsea Earl Grey, Mango & Bergamot, Lemon & Ginger Tea Bags
I am not a great tea drinker – I do prefer fruit teas than the ‘normal’ tea.  These were refreshing and different to the fruit teas I usually drink.  Then again I love anything Whittards – coffee, hot chocolate.  I have just added their fruit teas to the limited varieties that I can and do drink.

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
