Product: BeautyPie Everyday Great Skin Foundation Light Medium Samples Who for: Anyone and everyone who wants a lightweight foundation that has a matte finish First impressions: They are all too dark for me  After one week: Not applicable After one month: Not applicable Stockists: BeautyPie I have a love hare relationship with foundation, I love the way it looks on everybody else, but I hate it on me. Why? I can never find a shade that is quite right for me even the paler shades are darker on me. They oxidise over time whether I apply primer or not, they disappear. As you can see when I applied them before blending them, they all were a little too dark for me. Blended there was a slight improvement. I have taken photos after an hour and after four hours. I used the BeautyPie Pro Angled Concealer Brush to blend it in. After hours wear, I could feel my skin tightening where I had placed the foundation. Again., as can be seen in the photos below they are not a match to my skin tone as...

Product: BeautyPie Super Luminous Under Eye Genius Who for: Anyone who wants to hide dark circles First impressions: Not sure about this After one week: My lines are less visible After one month:Think its not really for me Stockists: BeautyPie I bought this as I have dark circles especially when my anxiety is not allowing me to sleep properly.  I had high hopes for this but it did not work for me.  I tried applying it on its own, under concealer and I just felt that it emphasised them, making them look greasy.  I could feel it on my skin.  Sorry its a big no from me.

  Product: Athletia Core Balance Toning Lotion Who for: Anyone and everyone First impressions: This feels lovely After one week: Skin feels soft After one month: I do not need moisturiser Stockists: Athletia, Selfridges This is the last step in their hydration routine. This is applied by pressing into the skin after I got three to four drops out of the bottle. It smells gorgeous and to me is part of the experience of using this range. I was unsure that that the amount I had in the palm of my hand would be enough to cover my whole face and neck, but it was. I did not apply any moisturiser afterwards as I noticed my skin felt hydrated and soft after the first time using it. And I have not used a moisturiser since. 

Product: Athletia Core Balance Oil    Who for: Anyone and everyone    First impressions: Does this go on my face?    After one week: Skin feels hydrated    After one month:  I do not need to apply a moisturiser afterwards    Stockists: Athletia, Selfridges    This is the first part of a two-part moisturising and hydrating skincare program.  I was not sure that this would work as my skin has been very dry lately.  You have to shake the bottle vertically then carefully get three drops out which I warm up using the therapist swipe.  I then press the oil into my skin making sure that I take time to breathe in the natural aroma of the product.  Then follow with Athletia Core Balance Toning Lotion.  I have not had to apply a moisturiser afterwards as these two products have provided my skin with enough hydration. 

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.  

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 ...

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....
