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 o...

BeautyPro THERMOTHERAPY Warming Gold Foil Mask with Hyaluronic Acid & Q10 This mask had quite a lot of serum that left a residue on my skin which I rubbed into my skin after taking the mask off.  My skin felt soft and hydrated, it didn’t irritate my sensitive skin. My one complaint is that I didn’t feel the heat from the mask. Schmidt’s Natural Deodorant Stick – Bergamot & Lime I like the idea of natural deodorants, but my skin doesn’t always like them.  My skin liked this one and the smell is lovely. Amika SOULFOOD Nourishing Mask I have short pixie hair cut and may have put too muc...

Products received in box: Manna Kanarese Long-wear Powder in Trifecta, Lustea Beauty Keratin Smooth Conditioner, What’s in it for me . . .? Shower Scrub, Balance Me Congested Skin Serum, BeautyPro Eye Therapy Under Eye Mask   Manna Kanarese Long-wear Powder in Trifecta I am not convinced that a product for your eyebrows can be used for your eyes and cheeks as well.  Unfortunately, this product confirmed that.  The shade was a little light for my eyebrows, too dark for my cheeks but perfect to use as a shadow.  I won’t be repurchasing this. Lustea Beauty Keratin Smooth Conditioner This has a lovely tropical smell.   After shampooing and taking out as much of the water as I could I applied this to my hair and left it on for 20 minutes.   When rinsing it of I could smell the lovely tropical smell.   Once dried my hair felt soft and manageable.   I will be purchasing this again. What’s in it for me . . ....

Products Received: Benefit The POREfessional Pearl Primer, Glamglow Supercleanse, Whittards of Chelsea Earl Grey, Mango & Bergamot, Lemon & Ginger Tea Bags, Polaar Velvety Sun Fluid Face & Body, Number 4 Jour d'automne Smoothing Balm, Ella Eden Compact Eyeshadow - Julia.  Glamglow Supercleanse This is mucky green gel that foamed nicely once water was added to it.  Unfortunately, my skin didn’t like it as I massaged it in I felt itchy patches appearing.   I feel that this product is more suited to a younger skin than mine.   Once I washed it off my skin felt tight and sore. Ella Eden Compact Eyeshadow - Julia Unfortunately, my eyeshadow was broken when I received it.  I like the colour and the gentle sheen.  This is a colour I would wear when wearing jeans and t-shirt and want to look polished natural make-up.  The colour pay-off is great and blended well.  It lasted all day.

Products received in box: Eyeko Skinny Liquid, Native Unearthed Activated Charcoal Natural Deodorant Balm, Doucce Luscious Lip Stain, Marcelle New Age Precision 8-in-1 Power Serum, Greenfrog Botanic Botanical Bodywash – Geranium and Peppermint Native Unearthed Activated Charcoal Natural Deodorant Balm This is a thick gritty paste, that changes into a serum once massaged between the fingers before applying to the armpit.  It has a nice fragrance and left my armpit area dry to touch after walking 2 Miles in the sunshine.  Not sure if I would repurchase it Greenfrog Botanic Botanical Bodywash – Geranium and Peppermint Sorry I didn’t like the fragrance or the fact that it didn’t lather as much as I expected.  My skin felt tight and itchy after using it.  I won’t be repurchasing it.

Products received in box: Polaar IcePure Gentle Scrub with Artic Cotton, ModelCo Baked Blush -Frose, Beautaniq Beauty Fill+Tame Gel – Brunette, Cath Kidson Handcream, Hask Monoi Coconut Nourishing Deep Conditioner. Polaar IcePure Gentle Scrub with Artic Cotton This is a pale green cream with dark green particles.  This product will not be repurchased as my skin reacted to the rough particles.  If the particles in the cream were smoother then I think I would repurchase it as my skin did seem softer and smoother. ModelCo Baked Blush -Frose It has swirls of pink, pearl white and gold.  Looks a scary bright pink on the blusher brush.  Blends well and gives a natural pink hue to my cheeks though I did think it would leave a sheen like a highlighter, but it didn’t.  It lasted well and didn’t go patchy like some blushers have in the past.   C ath Kidson Handcream This is a thick cream that absorbs into the skin easily.  There ...
