BeautyPro THERMOTHERAPY Warming Gold Foil Mask with Hyaluronic Acid & Q10
This mask had quite a lot of serum that left a residue on my skin which I rubbed into my skin after taking the mask off.  My skin felt soft and hydrated, it didn’t irritate my sensitive skin. My one complaint is that I didn’t feel the heat from the mask.




Schmidt’s Natural Deodorant Stick – Bergamot & Lime
I like the idea of natural deodorants, but my skin doesn’t always like them.  My skin liked this one and the smell is lovely.







Amika SOULFOOD Nourishing Mask

I have short pixie hair cut and may have put too much on as I used the sachet in one treatment.  My hair was more manageable and softer – as with all hair mask I will have to see how my hair behaves after a week to see if my hair really liked it.




Daily Concepts Multi-Functional Soap Sponge Charcoal


My hubby has commandeered this product.  He likes the idea of a sponge within a soap.  It has helped his oily skin but is not as good as The Carbon Theory soap that he has been using.



Winky Lux Strobing Balm – Radiant Pink

I have seen these products online and have wanted to try them.  This is a natural looking highlighter.  It blended well into my skin and gave me a lovely glow.  It is not glittery like some highlighters.







Lumene Nordic Hydra (Lähde) Intense Hydration 24 hour Moisturiser
There was not enough in the sachet to try it for a week, but the two times applied the moisturiser.  My skin felt hydrated and soft.  I would have liked a bigger sample to try so that I could see how my skin reacted after a week or so.

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
