*GIFTED* Fourfivecbd Cannabidiol Vitamin D3 Peppermint oil 1000mg 

Image
This is a brilliant way of combining Cannabidiol and Vitamin D3.  It has a very mild peppermint taste which does not leave a nasty after taste.  It does not leave an oily film either which some can do.  The only problem I have with it is that it is a pipette and there is no mark on it to show how much you need to take morning and evening.  

MyGel by Mylee Magic Gel Remover

Image
Product: MyGel by Mylee Magic Gel Remover    Who for: Anyone who wants to remove gel polish without soaking their nails in acetone and time    First impressions:  This will save time and my fingers    After one month: Wonderful easy to use     Stockists: Mylee, LookFantastic, Justmybeauty, FeelUnique, ASOS     I bought this to go with the Builder Gel to help improve the health of my nails and in the hopes that they will grow better. On the website they warn of a tightness or tingling which I did not feel. As would you remove gels with acetone you firstly buff the gel so that you remove the shininess of the gel.  Then apply a generous amount of the gel to each nail and wait six minutes for the gel to bubble. Once this has happened, I was able to gently remove the polish using a cuticle pusher to help lift it off. It came off cleanly without much effort. Once I had removed everything, I washed my hands and there was no residue of polish left behind. This means I can go onto reapply the B

MyGel by Mylee 5-in-1 Builder Gel Pink

Product: MyGel by Mylee 5-in-1 Builder Gel Pink    Who for: Anyone who wants to look after their nails and add gems    First impressions: This is slightly thicker than the gel polish I have been using.    After one week: Nails look healthy    After one month: Nails are growing stronger.    Stockists: Mylee, LookFantastic, Justmybeauty, FeelUnique, ASOS    I have been having a few issues with my nails maybe because of my medication I am not sure.  I bought this to help them and so far, so good.  My nails look and feel stronger from the first time I applied it.  I applied three coats of the builder gel which gave me nails a nice pale pink which was also not noticeable, while my nails are improving then I am grateful.  I have not tried it to make my nails look longer as I know you can purchase paper nail forms.  I may purchase them in the future as I get more confident with the application of the gel.  It did not chip and lasted over three weeks before I removed it.  

Kiehl's Ultra Light Daily UV Defense

Product: Kiehl's Ultra-Light Daily UV Defense    Who for: Anyone who wants a lightweight sunscreen    First impressions: The texture was not what i expected    After one week: Skin felt and looked hydrated    After one month: Sample not big enough to provide that amount of use    Stockists: Kiehl's, Boots, John Lewis, Escentual, Space NK    I received this sample size from a post on Instagram, I had wanted to try this brand.  It has a slight yellow tinge to it.  It applied well to the skin and did not leave a white cast.  My skin felt hydrated.  It worked well with the other steps in my skincare regime as the final step after moisturiser.  I tried it in the winter and perhaps should try it again in the warmer months to see how well it performs when I am perspiring.  It is a great one to choose if you need a lightweight formulation.
