November's BirchBox Subscription Delivery

Products received in box: Polaar Polar Night Cream, Sand & Sky Brilliant Purifying Pink Mask, Dr PawPaw Original Balm, SpaceMask, Manna Kadar Diamond Dust Rollerball - Enchanted Polaar Polar Night Cream This lovely cream is perfect for those nights after cleansing your skin you feel you need to give your skin tender loving care.  Smells wonderful and massages into the skin.  My skin felt soft and hydrated when I woke the next morning. Sand & Sky Brilliant Purifying Pink Mask The mask has an almond fragrance which some may not like.  It goes on smoothly and is translucent as it is applied to the skin.  After 10 minutes it had turned white which showed areas that I had missed.  Once warm water was applied to it, it turned pink.  My skin felt soft and my pores were less noticeable. Dr PawPaw Original Balm A little goes a long way.  I massage the product into my lips and the area around my lips.  I put it on after my morning and night cleansing

Poundland Micellar Water

Product: Poundland Micellar Water Who for: Anyone who wants a quick way of removing make-post Stockists: Poundland I had hoped that this would be a great alternative to Garnier and Nivea, but it wasn’t for me.   This felt my skin feeling on fire and itchy so much so that I had wash my face and put on my most rich creams just to make my skin feel normal.   I won’t be buying it again.

Benefit They’re Real Tinted Primer

Image
Mini of Benefit They're Real Tinted Primer Who for: Anyone who wants a natural look when worn on its own or to help define and length lashes when worn underneath They’re Real or Roller Lash mascara. Stockists: Benefit, QVCUK, Boots, Debenhams This product is amazing on its own or worn underneath mascara.  I have worn this primer on its own if I want a natural look.  I must admit I am not a fan of brown mascaras, but this product changed my mind.  I have, when I wanted a more dramatic look, worn the primer then roller lash and a final coat of They’re Real.  I got compliments galore on how amazing my lashes look – someone even asked what false lashes I was using.

Benefit They' re Real Push Up Liner - Blue Update

Image
Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner - Blue Having tried this earlier in the year I finally bought it - and I am so pleased I have.  It makes the whites of my eyes look brighter and my irises look greener.  I wear this eyeliner on the days that I feel I need a pick-me-up due to not sleeping well.  I line my upper and lower waterline with Benefit BadGal Waterproof liner in Black and the Blue liner close to my upper eyelashes.

Benefit They're Real Double the Lip - Bare Affair

Image
Benefit They’re Real Double the Lip in Bare Affair I love the Lusty Rose version of this lipstick and wanted to try one of the new colours.  This is my go-to colour of the season.  I wear it almost every day that I wear make-up - eyeliner, mascara and my IT Cosmetics CC+ cream and not forgetting Gimme Brow.  I am happy to see the outside world.

IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream 50SPF

Image
IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream Having for some time, seen IT Cosmetics on QVC UK and QVC Beauty I was interested in seeing if it would cover my redness that I have on my cheeks, chin and nose.  Some foundations I have used in the past don’t cover these areas to my satisfaction without concealer.  I was also looking for a foundation that had SPF in it.  If you are not aware the founder of IT Cosmetics is an American television presenter who has hereditary rosacea (it predominantly affects fair-skinned people).  She had tried various foundations without success.  Being able to speak to the best dermatologist and plastic surgeons and with their help developed IT Cosmetics.  I must admit this is the best foundation I have found in a long time.  It covers my redness without the need of concealer, it doesn’t sit in my fine lines around my mouth and eyes.  One pump is enough to cover my whole face.  It has a lovely lemony smell which I was worried that might make my sensitive skin sore but it do

OGX Macadamia Oil Conditioner

Bottle of OGX Macadamia Oil Conditioner As stated reviewing the shampoo, my hair needed a lot of TLC due to the hot weather the UK had in the summer.   I had thought I might need a richer conditioner to get rid of the crunchy patch of hair, but I didn’t.   I would use this in the shower, wash my hair twice with the shampoo then apply lots of conditioner.   Wash my face and body then wash the conditioner out – leaving the conditioner on my hair for at least ten minutes before rinsing it off.   My hair once I had left it to dry naturally was more manageable and softer.   The grey hairs were shiny and whiter, my natural brunette hair had the lovely coppery tones in it.   In other words, my hair didn’t look flat or lifeless.
