St.Tropez Berry Sorbet Mousse

17/02/2023

I was excited to try this new Berry scented tan from St Tropez. I've used their products before and rate them highly, and I was excited to use a self tan that didn't smell like burnt biscuits! Firstly the velvet mitt is the best tanning mitt ever! It really helps to give you a smooth and streak free application. The taning mouse is also lovely to use and applies smoothly. The Berry scent was really nice and not too overpowering. Application was quick and easy. I applied the product at night and then went to bed. When I woke up in the morning I had a really deep golden tan, I was really impressed. I wasn't so impressed with smelling like burnt biscuits! Yes, sadly the lovely Berry fragrance fades as the tan develops which is a real shame. I hopped in the shower to wash off the excess tan. After showering and moisturising I was disappointed to see the tan had faded quite a lot, more than I expected. So I think I'll definitely need a second application to get the colour I prefer.


Clairol Root Touch Up Color + Volume 2 in 1 Temporary Spray - Black

19/01/2023

As someone who usually has to dye their hair every 3-4 weeks I thought this product would be great for helping maintain my roots between colours. Sadly it didn't live up to my expectations. Positive first, the product is really easy to apply, simply a case of parting your hair and spraying onto the roots. I did get a bit messy on the first use, but nothing that a wet wipe couldn't sort out. The product claims to last on the hair until it's washed. Sadly I didn't find this to be the case. I applied in the morning and the colour had worn off by lunchtime. I'm not some who touches their hair or even brushes it once it's been styled so this was disappointing. I also didn't like the way the product made my hair feel. It was much heavier than a dry shampoo and left my hair feeling claggy. I can't say I'll be looking to by this product.


The INKEY List Scar Mark & Wrinkle Solution with 1% Retinol

29/08/2022

Aside from using a retinol eye cream this was my first time using a retinol product on my whole face. I followed the instructions and started out using the product once a week for 3 weeks. I didn't notice any difference in this time but my skin definitely felt dryer the next morning. By week 3 I increased my usage to every 4 days. I continued like this for 2 weeks. I started to see a slight change to the appearance of my skin, smoother texture, and my post breakout marks had faded slightly. My skin was still really dry the morning after use though. I then moved to using the cream every other day but only managed this for a week because my skin was so dry that week. In summary, I think this is a good product and with continued use it would probably make my skin look much more even and would reduce my post breakout marks considerably. Sadly though I feel the product was too harsh for my skin so I would not purchase again.


OGX Thick & Full + Biotin & Collagen Shampoo & Conditioner

06/06/2022

I've been using the OGX Thick & Full + Biotin & Collagen Shampoo & Conditioner for approximately 3 weeks now and I love it! I have naturally fine hair that needs lots of work to achieve the volumised style I prefer so I'm always looking for products to help me achieve this. First thing I noticed when using the products for the first time was the smell. Both the shampoo & conditioner smell divine! I noticed when using the shampoo that my hair felt a bit dryer, but that was rectified as soon as I used the conditioner. After using the products for a week (I wash my hair daily) my hair felt soft, smooth and easy to manage. I also found it easier to get volume without having to use lots of products whilst blow-drying. The shampoo and conditioner gives me all the volume I need. I do find I have to condition with every wash otherwise my hair feels dry, but I don't have an issue with this. I'm definitely a convert to the OGX brand now and have told all my friends about it!


Sanctuary Spa Signature Natural Oils Melting Pearl Body Butter 300ml

29/05/2022

First thing I noticed about the Sanctuary Spa Signature Natural Oils Melting Pearls Body Butter was the scent. It has the same signature fragrance as all Sanctuary Spa products, and is quite strong. The smell is the one thing that I'm not overly keen on as I prefer softer, fruitier scents for body products. The next thing to stand out are the little golden pearls dotted through the cream. They add to the luxurious look of the product. The body butter is silky to touch and glides beautifully onto the skin. It rubs in quickly, is not at all sticky and leaves skin feeling instantly softer and smoother. The little gold moisturising pearls need a little extra work to rub into the skin, you almost need to squash them into the skin before they rub in. Overall this is a nice product. I find the fragrance a bit overwhelming and don't think the pearls add anything extra to what is essential a very effective moisturiser.


NIVEA Dry Confidence Spray 250ml

04/03/2022

The Nivea Dry Confidence spray does exactly what it says it will! It's definitely one of the hardest working anti-perspirants I've used. It kept my underarms dry and smelling fresh all day, even after a heavy session in the gym! It comes in a good sized can and a little really goes a long way and it's kind and gentle on your skin. Now on to what I didn't like. The fragrance, although long lasting, wasn't one that I particularly liked. It's quite overpowering and I could smell it over my perfume! Also.......white marks!! This spray left white marks on my skin which subsequently transferred onto my clothes. That's not something I want from an antiperspirant. I would definitely prefer this product more in a different fragrance, but they still need to work on the issue of white marks.


Rowenta No Flaws Anti-Blemish Facial Brush LV4010

26/02/2022

This is definitely the beauty product I didn't know I needed! My first impression of the product is that it was packaged beautifully, easy to assemble and comes with clear and concise instructions. I really liked the look of the device and it's design makes it's easy to hold. The brush itself is very soft but also incredibly effective at properly deep cleansing your face. I used the brush after removing my makeup to apply a cream cleanser. The brush helped get a good lather going and I could really feel the brush working on my skin, certainly more effective than my usual face cloth. I like how the device beeps every 20 seconds so you know when to move on to the next area of your face. After use my skin felt clean and well exfoliated and looked really fresh. It was amazing to see how much grime had come off on the brush even after an initial cleanse. I was definitely sceptical of this product at first but it has totally changed my cleansing routine! Very impressed!


Eucerin Hyaluron Filler Moisture Booster

26/01/2022

Absolutely love this product! I've been using it for a while now and it's become a staple part of my skin are routine. It goes on smooth, isn't sticky, absorbs well and a little bit really goes a long way. I quite like the smell but not sure how it would effect people with sensitive skin. I will definitely be buying this product again in the future!
