CeraVe Foaming Cleanser

Bottle of CeraVe Foaming Cleanser Who for: Anyone who has sensitive skin prone to imperfections First impressions: Thick serumy liquid After one week: Redness in acne reduced After one month: Skin feels and looks a lot better Stockists: Boots, CeraVe, LookFantastic I personally don’t use this version of the cleanser.   I gave it to my son (Medium 15yo) as he has spotty acne that can be sore and red.   The first wash with it he noticed a difference in how his skin felt and looked.   Within a week the redness of the spots had reduced.   Within a month his spots were so much less noticeable.   I know he likes this as he is quite happy to wash his face twice a day as he does it without me telling him.   He now panics if he is running out of this.

Tube of Maybelline The Falsies Instant Lash Lift Look Volumising Mascara   Who for: Anyone who wants the look of LVL without the hassle First impressions: Weird brush shape – like a slim figure of eight. After one week: Not as good as Benefit BADgal Bang After one month: To be updated Stockists: Boots, Superdrug, I was sent this as a prize for being a reviewer of the week on GLAMGEEK.  I have lashes that are long and a little straight, and like a mascara that can lift and curl them – I had high hopes for this mascara.  Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed as it didn’t give the lift or look that I get with one coat of Benefit BADgal Bang.  Maybe its me because I found the brush strange and hard to apply the mascara, I didn’t feel the pull and lift of my lashes that I get with BADgal Bang.  It was Ok at the outer corners to apply but I couldn’t work out the best way to hold the brush to apply mascara to the inner corner without poking myself in the eye wh

Boots, Superdrug, Cult Beauty, LookFantastic, After washing my hair twice with the accompanying shampoo, I applied a gorgeous rich and thick smoky purple grey conditioner to hair working into the hair in sections.  I left it on for between five and ten minutes then rinsed my hair thoroughly.  Once my hair dried naturally, I could see a difference and my hair looked grey.  Not only that but it was soft and shiny, there were no flyways or fluffiness that I can get it if the conditioner is too rich for my hair.  This is perfect. My hair before using Bleach London Products I washed my hair with Bleach London Fade to Grey shampoo twice and left the conditioner on for 5 minutes

Bleach London Fade to Grey Shampoo

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
