DHC Revitalizing Moisture Strips: Eyes

Hi there sweeties. I hope you are having a fab sunny day even if you are just gazing at the sunshine through an office window. Today I have a review post for you.

DHC Revitalizing Moisture Strips: Eyes ~ £6.95 for 6 applications

These soft gel eye masks already have celebrity fans. Their purpose is to refresh, hydrate, brighten and firm the delicate under eye area while minimising puffiness and dark circles. Suitable for all skin types these are so easy to use. After cleansing and toning remove each strip from it's backing and place the moisture side against the skin of your under eye area, pressing gently to assure contact with the skin. These are rather wide, but they did sculpt around my eyes where needed. Do not place too high as you don't want any product making contact and possibly irritating your eyes. Leave on for 20-30 mins or even overnight when needed for maximum conditioning benefit. 

My thoughts:

I wore them for 30 mins. I don't really suffer with dark circles and I have been using another product recently which has reduced my puffy eyes so much. I did however feel that I reaped the benefits of feeling refreshed and looking more awake as they do brighten the skin. I think this is down to the deeply moisturising properties these strips have. You can feel the ingredients being soaked up into the under eye area. Very hydrating indeed. My skin felt firmer under the eyes too. Not taut like it had a pulling sensation just like the skin had smoothed out and flattened so for those with under eye puffing I would say give these a go for sure. To remove these did not tug on the skin at all which is perfect as the under eye area needs to be handled with care. Simply peel away and you are done. These are a lovely pampering treat that I will be sure to use again. I think the price is perfect too as with 6 applications in each pack that's a little over £1 with every use. 

Thanks so much to Freedom PR for sending these over to me for free to try.

Back To Basics GlossyBox

Hi everyone. Today I am here to give you my first impressions of the January 'Back To Basics' GlossyBox. 

Yu-Be Moisturising Skin Cream ~ £13.50 or £19.50

Yu-Be is so effective on severe dry skin and truly sets itself apart from other creams. This concentrated moisturiser helps hydrate, heal, soothe and smooth severe dry skin. It also helps heal split cuticles and smooth rough, dry skin on hands, elbows and feet, while protecting and moisturising skin exposed to cold, wind, water and sun. Can be used on face, lips and body.

I am interested to see how this cult Japanese product works. Lets hope it really is a 'does it all' skin care item.

balance Me. Super Toning Body Wash ~ Various Prices/Sizes

I have previously reviewed this product here!

The Vintage Cosmetic Company Floral Slanted Tweezers ~ £8.00

I hate it when tweezers are too thick at the end, but these appear to be quite a slim and precise tool, plus they are pretty.

Anatomicals Puffy The Eye Bag Slayer Wake-Up Under Eye Patches ~ £6.00 for 3 Pack

Reduces eye bags and puffiness.

Cleanse and thoroughly dry the face. Open the foil packet, peel off the plastic and immediately apply as shown in the illustration making sure you've smoothed the patches to ensure contact with the skin. For best results, leave on for 30 minutes and then gently remove.

It's unusual for me to have dark circles, but puffiness around my eyes does unfortunately happen. Especially first thing in the morning. Lets hope they work.

Vaseline Essential Moisture Lotion ~ Various Prices/Sizes

Its non-greasy formulation and multi-layer complex absorbs quickly leaving your skin silky smooth and looking healthy.

This has a non-offensive scent and absorbed quickly into my hand. I am sure this will work fine as a moisturiser, but it would have been nice to try the new spray and go version.

So that's all of the products. I am looking forward to trying out the eye patches, but overall I am not excited about this box. I know the idea of this 'Back To Basics' box was to start the new year with a clean and fresh new you after all of the festivities, but at least one interesting make-up or nail product would have livened it up a bit.
