 Manna Kanarese Long-wear Powder in Trifecta
I am not convinced that a product for your eyebrows can be used for your eyes and cheeks as well.  Unfortunately, this product confirmed that.  The shade was a little light for my eyebrows, too dark for my cheeks but perfect to use as a shadow.  I won’t be repurchasing this.




Lustea Beauty Keratin Smooth Conditioner
This has a lovely tropical smell.  After shampooing and taking out as much of the water as I could I applied this to my hair and left it on for 20 minutes.  When rinsing it of I could smell the lovely tropical smell.  Once dried my hair felt soft and manageable.  I will be purchasing this again.




What’s in it for me . . .? Shower Scrub

I expect scrubs to be thick – this is runny, it turned in to a milky liquid when I massaged this into my skin on my body.  Once rinsed off there was no residue or walnut shell left on my skin – just soft radiant skin.  I will be repurchasing this





Balance Me Congested Skin Serum
As soon as my 14-year-old son saw this product he took it as he had finished a previous one.  It has helped calm his forehead spots and he hasn’t had anymore.  It doesn’t leave a noticeable residue like some spot treatments do – he doesn’t what his friends to know he is using it.  I will be repurchasing this.




BeautyPro Eye Therapy Under Eye Mask

I have tried eye masks before and not been successful putting them on in the right place or keeping them there.  These are firmer and can be put in the right place and stay on.  The instant you put them on you can feel the cooling effect.  The skin under my eyes after 20 minutes felt firmer and more hydrated.

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
