They only want you for your body
Thursday, 18 May 2017
Anatomicals that is! A witty brand with an amazing skincare range. I love buying their face masks for my friends birthdays on Urban Outfitters, but I'd never tried them for myself... until now!
You can find anatomicals on their site but they are also stocked in Superdrug and ASOS.
Possibly the best idea ever! The pun is amazing and I love how the gel inside is red, making it even more vampire like. this soothing eye mask relieves eye bags. It can easily be put in the fridge to use the next morning for a fresh awakening, but can also be placed in hot water for a more relaxing afternoon. I rarely get puffy eyes, yet I still find myself using this as it feels so nice!
This next product is huge! Quite literally... this soap is the size of a mango (but smells like a grapefruit). It lathers up amazing, smells great, it does the job and its such a good price for the size! It's going to last me forever.
With a total of 10 deep cleaning strips, 5 for the nose and another 5 for chin & forehead, there's no doubt this pack will completely obliterate blackheads. I've noticed how effective it is as cleaning pores, you can really see an instant improvement. I have quite sensitive, dry skin and the cleaning strips are thankfully kind to my skin and haven't irritated it. My sister has also been trying them out as she has oily skin.
Summer Scents
Saturday, 15 April 2017
It's well known that certain scents trigger memories, which may be why I love perfumes and fragrances so much. I received a PAIRFUM large bell shaped diffuser in 'Innocent Vanilla'. The large quantity and reeds ensure a long lasting fragrance from 6-9 months. It's worth investing under £40 for something that will last so long, looks amazing and smells even better! I've put mine in the living room, which is rather large and connects to the kitchen. Within a couple of hours I noticed both rooms had freshened up and smelt amazing. The dogs stay in this room too, so it's great to have something to keep the room fresh and smelling pleasant.
There are so many beautiful fragrances to choose from, including 'Trail of White Petals', 'Magnolias in Bloom' and 'Bergamot & White Tea'. You can find descriptions on their site which explains the scents, helping you find the perfect one! All of which are natural and non toxic, making them safe for your family.
Getting ready for Summer
Sunday, 9 April 2017
Today is the hottest day of the year so far, which is making me so excited for summer! You just can't beat a bit of sunbathing. To get you in the mood for summer too, or to help you prepare for your summer holidays, I have a review of a beautiful one piece swim suit I received from UK Swimwear. They have a wide range of swimwear and beachwear, with a variety of styles to suit younger and older women.
The swimsuit is a halter neck which I love, I only have bikinis so it's nice to mix it up. The top half is a very flattering pattern which contrasts really nicely to the lower half. The mid section features a mesh detail which breaks down the block colours and makes the waist look great. The overall fit looks amazing and every detail of the swimsuit has been thought out to create something flattering. It has a very modern feel which I don't tend to see in swimsuits.
It also has an open back which makes it look rather slimming and shapes the body so well. I was not expecting a swimsuit to be so flattering and well fitting. If you look on their site, you can see how well it fits and contrasts. I can't wait to wear this on holiday!
Ozeri
Saturday, 1 April 2017
These Ozeri pans in 26cm and 30cm sizes feature a safe ceramic coating which is free from heavy metals and chemicals. The texture on the surface prevents anything sticking, whilst keeping an even temperature. I've found it really easy to clean and it seems as though it will last a long time due to the durable aluminium used. The overall look is really slick and has made cooking even easier. I love how they also come with protectors to prevent scratching. They're available from £19.99 on Amazon.
3 Products that will Finally Cure your Dry Skin
Tuesday, 28 March 2017
From all of the skincare products I have tried, the most natural ones are most effective. Pure Potions is a skincare company that focuses on dry skin conditions and are very gentle so can be used on babies and on any area of the skin. With conditions such as eczema it is best to avoid added perfumes and fragrances, which Pure Potions also avoids.
The intensive lip balm is perfect for not only moisturising lips but it can be used anywhere, such as around the nose or eyes. It is very moisturising which makes it perfect for windy weather as a protective barrier against the harsh environment. The lip balm is made with beeswax, olive and hempseed oils. There is a very faint scent of hempseed oil but other than that there isn't an overpowering scent, which I prefer. I love having a lip balm that I notice making changes and improving any dry patches.
This oil is particularly effective on scars as it contains vitamin A, vitamin C and essential fatty acids such as omega-3 and omega-6, all of which encourage the skin to heal. This gentle oil can also be used on stretch marks, uneven skin tone and dehydrated skin. I have a scar on my ankle after breaking it and having a few operations, so it's helpful to have something natural to take care of it. It has a really pleasant scent which isn't very common with such oils.
My favourite product out of the three has to be this ointment. It's perfect for dry skin, especially for eczema, and is gentle enough for babies. It has a waxy consistency and needs to be warmed between fingertips to help with application. A little definitely goes a long way, which makes the price even more amazing. I love using this every once in a while where I previously had eczema, just to keep my skin moisturised and prevent it coming back.
I'm a big fan of natural products and can't recommend them enough, even more so when I find out they don't test on animals. Be sure to check out Pure Potions range of products and maybe try out the ones I've mentioned as they're working great for me!
CB12 Review
Friday, 17 March 2017
It can be hard to find dental hygiene products that actually prevent bad breath rather than just mask it for an hour or so, which is why I was excited to try out the CB12 range to see how effective they really are! The products are more expensive than most of the products I would normally use.
I have been trying out their mouthwashes which are available in the normal version and a mild or white version. I've tried the white one before and noticed how much a difference there was when I started using it regularly. It also claims to strengthen your enamel which is great! My teeth can get rather sensitive so I try to avoid whitening products as they can be too strong but I was able to use this without any issues. It's definitely worth paying a bit extra compared to normal mouthwash to see such a difference and actually feel your teeth becoming stronger and healthier.
The mild mouthwash has my favourite flavour out of the three as it isn't overpowering and it smells amazing! I've noticed they all do eliminate bad breath all day and I've never tried a mouthwash that has actually left my mouth feeling so fresh all day long. The original mouthwash of course does all the same and is great if you're not worried about the taste of mouthwash compared to the milder one.
The other products I tried was the CB12 boost chewing gum and the spray. The chewing gum has the perfect balance of flavour and they do an amazing job at preventing bad breath! They're really addictive as they leave such an amazing taste in the mouth and the hard outer shell on them make them even more satisfying to chew. It also claims to inhibit plaque growth due to containing xylitol, which I did notice was true as it felt as though they were also cleaning my teeth. I've also never tried a breath spray but this works instantly and I love how it provides immediate freshness!
Mother's Day with Prestige Flowers
Monday, 13 March 2017
I received this beautiful bouquet from Prestige Flowers. It arrived in a large box and the flowers were already arranged. They were in black wrapping which fit well with the box the bouquet itself was in. There was care taken in the presentation and how they were packaged. The box added a little extra something.
There are a lot of beautiful flowers in this bouquet, I particularly like the roses and lilies and it was exciting waiting for them to bloom! The closed lily buds really showed how fresh the flowers are.
Mother's day is on it's way and Prestige Flowers have a wonderful range of bouquets to choose from.
