Single use sample of Huda Beauty Wishful Yo-Glow Enzyme Scrub Who for: Anyone who wants two types of scrub in one First impressions: Will there be enough to do my face neck and décolleté After one week: Was a single use sample After one month: Was a single use sample Stockists: FeelUnique, Huda Beauty, Boots, Selfridges, I received a sample of this with an order, it was only a single use.   I wondered if there was enough but there was.   Not only does this luscious cream have a physical exfoliant but also an enzyme one too.   At first, I did not notice the physical element of the scrub until I had been massaging the product into my skin for a few seconds.   The more I massaged the product into my skin the more it seemed to clump together.   You can either splash it off or as I did take it off using a muslin cloth.   Some scrubs leave bits on my skin, this didn’t and not only leaving my skin feeling and looking soft but hydrate...

Travel size tube of Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer Potion Original Who for: Anyone who wants their eyeshadow to last all day and to be vibrant First impressions: Looks like any ordinary primer After one week: Eyeshadows look great and don’t crease After one month: To be updated Stockists: Urban Decay, LookFantastic, Debenhams, John Lewis, Selfridges, FeelUnique, Boots, House of Fraser I don’t wear eyeshadow as much as I used to as I am a homebody – my look when I go out is eyeliner and mascara.   Also because of my dry eye and MGD I find wearing eyeshadow difficult as the fallout makes my eyes very sore and bloodshot.   I bought this as I wanted to wear some eyeshadow and had hoped that this would prevent any problems with my eyes.   It did and the eyeshadows not only stayed on all day but looked more vibrant and defined than without.   A small amount and I mean a small amount either applied with fingers or a brush goes along way. ...

Packaging and tube of Benefit The Porefessional: Hydrate Face Primer Who for: Anyone who wants a primer that hydrates as well as minimising pores First impressions: Looks like the original primer but has a cooling effect on the skin After one week: Skin looks great even without foundation After one month: With and without foundation my skin looks hydrated and pores are not visible. Stockists: Benefits, Boots, John Lewis, House of Fraser, Debenham, QVC UK This is a great edition to the Porefessional range.   It has all the benefits of the original Porefessional it just has the added benefit of the hyaluronic acid that provides the skin with 12 hours hydration.   Sometimes, I found the original could be a little dry, this isn’t.   As you apply it to the skin, the skin feels cool where the primer is blended into the skin.   It leaves the skin with a velvet matte finish that looks perfect without foundation and helps adhere the foundation to the s...

Bottle of CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser Who for: Anyone who wants a great morning cleanser First impressions: Thick lotion After one week: Skin feels hydrated and soft After one month: Skins looks and feels healthy. Stockists: Boots, Lloyds Pharmacy, CeraVe I like to use this as my morning cleansing or both morning and night if I have not been wearing makeup.   It is a nice thick lotion that one pump is enough to cover my face, neck and décolleté.   I have used it to remove makeup and it does, but I prefer to use it as a morning cleansing with a muslin cloth.   It doesn’t foam and is very comforting to a sensitive skin.   There is plenty of slip so that you can massage areas that need work without hurting your skin.   It can be splashed off if you don’t like using a face cloth or muslin cloth.   My skin doesn’t feel tight either straight after removing it or later in the day, which is great as some cleanser, I have used have left m...

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 withou...

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 condi...
