BlueSky Gels Nail Mail Subscription - July

Product: BlueSky Gels Nail Mail Subscription - July   Who for: Anyone and everyone   First impressions: Love the brush and formula   After one week: Still shiny no chips   After one month: Still going strong   Stockists: BlueSky   I normally use SensatioNail and fancied a change.  This subscription seemed reasonable £12 for three bottles a month.  Each bottle is 5ml.  The shades are ones I would choose but without the glitter which is very noticeable when wet but not so when dry which for me is great, as I am not someone who would wear glitter on my face let alone on my nails.  You have the ability to build the intensity of the colour.  Again, something that I did not find with SensatioNail which is great.  It applied smoothly and did not pool at the cuticle or be streaky.  I have found on my nails that I can get a month’s wear out of the colours before I removed them which is great for me.  They stayed shiny as well.  They were easy to remove as I would any o

Skin+Me Prescription

  Product: Skin+Me Prescription   Who for: Anyone who wants to improve their skin   First impressions: Like the daily doser   After one week: Skin looks great   After one month : I love the way my skin is looking   Stockists: Skin+Me   I had a Dermatica prescription as was impressed with that until I heard Caroline Hirons mention Skin+Me and that they used Azelaic Acid in their prescriptions.   And that as an ingredient that I wanted to try.   So, I did.   The amount of Tretinoin is lower than I had from Dermatica at 0.015%, it also has Niacinamide 4% and Azelaic Acid 4%.   My skin loves it, and I can seem an improvement by the end of my first prescription I can not wait to see what my skin looks like in another month.

Benefit Brow Microfilling Pen

  Product: Benefit Brow Microfilling Pen   Who for: Anyone who wants to try microblading without the pain   First impressions: I do not think I can use this   After one week: Looks like I have had them tinted   After one month: Love it!   Stockists: Benefit, Boots, Lookfantastic, CultBeauty   As you can probably guess I am a fan of Benefit Cosmetics and like to try products when they release them.  As soon as I saw this, I knew I would like it and I do.  My brows are looking better than they did a few years ago due to the wax and tinting I have had done at Benefit concessions but due to lockdown I have not had anything done since March.  I bought this as I wanted to add structure to my brows and fill in missing areas because of age and overplucking.  This does this and more, I like the way my brows look with this, and I have used it with Gimme Brow+ and Precisely, My Brow.  This is a great foundation product to create brows that are natural or to be able to add

Superdrug Colour R-Plex Repair & Strength Shampoo

Image
Product: Superdrug Colour R-Plex Repair & Strength Shampoo   Who for: Anyone who wants to look after their coloured hair   First impressions: Seems to smell nice   After one week: My hair did not like it   After one month: My hair really did not like it   Stockists: Superdrug   It was on offer when I bought the treatment kit and bought the two together.   After trying the one sachet from the treatment kit I had hoped that as I could use more shampoo then I might not have the same problem as before.   I was wrong my hair felt swollen, plasticky and rough after the first shampoo.   It rinsed out easily so applied a little more shampoo, but my hair felt weird wrong and stiff.   No, I will not be buying this again.
