A few freebies and skin care products.

I read a blog a while back about a website offering freebies called www.latestinbeauty.com, so I checked it out and signed up, I had to pay £1 over a txt message to register my order and it says you recieve a goodie box with your choice of 3 trial products a month, my box arrived yesterday and I was expecting bigger products as on the website it shows them bigger but what I recieved are more like the testers you find stuck in magazines. Anyway, they came in this pink box below:


I recieved, 1) The Mary Kay timewise microdermabration set, which says it will fight fine lines, refine pores and smooth skin, there are 3 sachets of step 1 which is to refine and 3 ofstep 2 which is to replenish so Im going to give that a try tonight.

2) Mary Kay Creme lipstick in Apricot glaze, this is the little black packet, there are 2 tiny samples of it, I havent opened them yet as I dont want to waste it as there really not much but the colour on the front looks nice. The letter I got with the package described this as ripe apricot glides on with a kiss of soft shimmer!

3) finally there is a sachet of John Frieda weather works style sealant creme, to defy weather 365 days a year. Will have to take this on holiday with me incase my hair goes frizzy in the sun.

For £1 I think this could be fun, you can get different prodcts every month and you recieve a notification when you can replace your order, so check it out if you want some trials.




Below is some new skin care products I have picked up recently, on the left is the boots botanicals eye make up removal, this is sooo good, take my eye makeup off so easily, before I was using the simple make up remover and that took a lot longer with cottom pads, now I only have to use 1 per eye, This was only about £3 so Im going to stock up and take some away to remove waterproof mascara easily.

In the middle is the Clean & Clear deep action cream wash, this was also around £3 from Wilkinsons, I got this as in the last few weeks my nose broke out in spots, my own fault for eating alot of chocolate and sweets over a few days but this really helped clear them up within a few days so Im using it daily at the moment, It has a tingly sensation when you wash it off which I like, makes it feel like its working :)

On the right is the Garnier clean and fresh cleansing wash, again about £3 from wilkinsons, this is lovely, been using it in the mornings recently and it feels really refreshing and nice, and smells lovely and fruity.

I really like all these products and would recommend them all!

Lastly, I saw this Malibu moonlight shimmer wash off bronzer ina magazine and was wondering if anyone else had used it? I want a wash off bronzer to take away with me as I dont tan well and want something I can put on in the evenings, I have tried others such as the Loreal one and found the colour too dark for me and very messy. The best I have found before is the FCUK Tan your hide one but I am nearly out of that and havent seen it in Boots recently. Leave me a comment if you have any idea what the malibu ones like :)

Skin care

I thought I would make a blog about my skin care regime.
The main products that I use most days are in the photo above and they are:

• Garnier clean and soft make up remover


• Nivea body Q10 firming lotion


• Nivea natural beauty radiance boosting moisturiser
  
• Nivea natural beauty radiance boosting daily scrub


• Nivea My Silhouette


• Garnier nutritionist face cream
  
• Boots expert anti- itch soother


• Astral moisturiser
  

There is alot of moisturisers there but I have really dry skin and eczema so I have to use alot.

The make up remover works really well on my skin, its really soft and I just use a cotton wool pad and all of my make up comes off easily.

I havent been using the Nivea Q10 lotion for long so I dont know whether its had much of an effect but I really like nivea moisturisers.

The natural beauty radiance boosting moisturiser is really good, It leaves an almost sparkly finish which make up goes on really nicely. This photo shows my face without any foundation or anything.

The daily scrub is nice aswell, the beads in it arent too big but I dont use it every day as I think that would irritate my skin too much as it flairs up easily.

The nivea my silloheaute hasnt been used for long, less than a week, my skin feels softer but no other difference as yet. It was half price at Boots so about £5.50 so I thought Id give it a try before summer.

The Garnier nutritionist cream is great, it smells gorgeous, like lemons and other fruits and it makes my face feel really fresh.

The Boots anti itch soother is great, as Ive said I have eczema and I used it on my legs the other day when they were driving me mad with itching and within 5 mins they felt fine and Id stopped itching :) miracle.

The astral moisturiser is what I carry around with me for during the day, its really thick and really does the job.

I got this product from Boots last year and I havent seen it since but the Boots in my town is quite small so it might still be avaliable in the larger stones. Its an Elle Macpherson 'the body' Toned body treatment. It is with australian ginger and sea algae and I used it loads last year and I thought it was much better than any of the other products like this that I have tried, and after use it leaves the skin feeling really tight and tingly as if it starts working straight away.

I picked this up in Superdrug a few days ago to use when I am using my conical wand, it smells really nice and it was less than £5, I havent used it yet though.
