Tube and Packaging of IT Cosmetics CC+ 50 SPF Illuminating Cream Who for: Anyone who wants a natural base and SPF in one First impressions: A light dark for me After one week: Love it! After one month: The best foundation/CC+ cream I have every used Stockists: IT Cosmetics UK, QVC UK, Selfridges, Boots I must admit something straight off I had purchased this product through a website called Wish and wasn’t sure it was the real deal but as far as I can tell it is.   I have been using the shade Light which is too dark for me – it might be because it oxidises on my skin.   It does everything that I have seen and read about the range.   It covers my red cheeks, nose, forehead and chin perfectly without my freckles being hidden.   For a natural look I would use one pump to cover my whole face, if I wanted a fuller coverage I would use two pumps.   It stays in place all day, doesn’t sit in the fine lines and wrinkles I have around my eye...

Benefit Hoola Quickie Contour Stick and packaging Product: Benefit Hoola Quickie Contour Stick Who for: Anyone who wants to contour their face quickly First impressions: Very dark not sure it will blend into my skin After one week: One word – brilliant After one month: I love it Stockists: Benefit, Debenhams, QVC UK I got this free when buying a copy of Elle Magazine.   I am so glad I did.   This works brilliant both under and over foundation depending on what type of finish you want.   It is easy to apply as it is a stick and blends wonderfully as it is a cream.   This is the cream version of their powder bronzer Hoola.   It works well with Hoola as a blusher and eye shadow and other powder blushers you may have.   I have tried it with liquid foundations and not powder foundations so I cannot comment on how it would work with it.   I will be buying this again as it is great to use when you want more definition and a he...

Bottle of Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula Coconut Oil Conditioning Shampoo Who for: Anyone that has dry, damaged hair First impressions: Smells lovely and is thick and creamy After one week: My hair didn’t like it I love Palmer’s Coco Butter Body Lotion and hoped that this would help me with my dry hair.   Maybe I should have bought the conditioner to go with it.   I only used it the once as my hair while I was rinsing out the shampoo actually felt worse than before I used it.   Once I had left it to dry naturally it actually felt like straw, was not its bouncy controllable self.   This is one product I will not be buying again.

P roducts received in box : Your Skin But Better CC+ 50SPF in Fair, Bye Bye Pores Illuminating, Tightline 3-in-1 Black Primer, Eyeliner & Mascara, Je Ne Sais Quoi Lip Treatment, Airbrush Essential Brush and IT Girl Cosmetics Bag Your Skin But Better CC+ 50SPF in Fair I have found the perfect foundation, SPF and anti-redness cream.  I have been using the Light version until I purchased this – I am glad I did as this is more my colour; this Light was a little too dark (it may have oxidised on my skin).  This covers the redness on my cheeks, forehead and chin with ease but doesn’t hide my freckles which I like.  If I want a light coverage I will use one pump or if I want a fuller coverage I will use two pumps.  It blends easily into my skin and I love the smell. Bye Bye Pores Illuminating To be honest I am not a fan of powder as previous powders felt dry on my skin after an hour.  This doesn’t feel like that or cake in the fine li...
