SKINCARE - SHOWER & BATH PRODUCTS

Hey beauties! Here are some fabulously scented products I have discovered at bargain prices for you to enjoy in the bath or shower.

NIVEA CREME COCONUT SHOWER CREAM

I picked this up in the 99p Store and OMG it smells divine. Coconut fans rejoice as this gorgeously scented shower cream smoothes over your body.

NIVEA HARMONY TIME SHOWER CREAM

I believe my friend gave this to me in a gift set for my birthday, but they also sell it in Poundland linked above. I don't usually like rose scents, but this product has a very creamy, baby soft smell.

I love Nivea skincare. It's a brand I would use time and time again. These shower creams feel lovely and moisturising on the skin.

RADOX NOURISH SHOWER CREAM

This shower cream feels nice on the skin. This has a slight spice scent with the ginger, but it's not strong and overpowering. I picked this up in my Tesco garage, but it's reduced at the moment to £1 in Boots.

CUSSONS CAREX STRAWBERRY FUN SHOWER & BATH

The scent of this product is amazing. If you like strawberry scents you will want to eat yourself after using this product.

DISNEY FROZEN BATH & SHOWER BUBBLES

To be honest I saw this in the baby section and couldn't resist trying it out. I love Frozen and so why not.

Both of these products were from the 99p Store. They cleansed my skin well and added a bit of moisture, but perhaps not as much as the Nivea products. These can be used for the bath too.

I hope you find something here you like to enjoy pampering yourself or just for fun to make you smile. At these bargain prices why not!

Love to you all

BODY CARE PRODUCTS

Hi lovelies. How has your week been? I had work as usual, enjoyed pancakes on Tuesday, went to London on Friday which included a bit of Primark shopping (haul to come) and other chores which I won't bore you with.

I have a few body care products to share mini reviews of with you so here they are :)

These shower products were Xmas gifts as were the razors. I know you can get the shower products in the 99p Store.

Cussons Pure Creamy Shower Cream

This was a lovely cream shower product with a very softening feel and the clean scent of Aloe Vera. It really left a calming and pure scent on the skin.

Cussons Pure Zesty Lemon Burst Shower Gel

This was a nice fruity blend that I enjoyed using, but I didn't notice the scent linger on the skin after showering.

BIC PURE3 LADY DISPOSABLE TRIPLE BLADE X 4

I forgot to keep the razors, but you can see them in the link above. For disposable razors these were actually not bad quality. The handles were sturdy and curved making them quite easy to use for a smooth shave. They are at a reduced price in the link above.

IMPULSE ROCK & LOVE BODY FRAGRANCE

I have said it before and I will say it again I love Impulse body fragrances. They are great value as they last ages. They come in a massive variety of great scents and mist the perfect amount of product. The twist lock cap and their size are just ace if you wanted to pop them in your handbag too. This one is scented with Amber & Orange Blossom. It's really fresh and fruity. It is signed by the Loveable Rogues and was sent to me by the Impulse team. This is also reduced in the link above.

So that's my reviews folks. Let me know your current favourite body products in the comments below.

Love to you all

SUMMER IS HERE GLOSSYBOX

Hi there sweeties. I am back again today with my first impressions of this month's 'Summer Is Here' GlossyBox.

NAILGIRLS 3-IN-1 BASE/TOPCOAT & NAIL STRENGTHENER

Apply this as your base and allow to dry before applying your nail colour. Once that has dried use this product again as your top coat.

I hope this product works well as having one product to use instead of two would be a bonus, plus it has strengthening properties.

GOT2B RISE 'N SHINE SOUFFLE

This lightweight product is designed to give you textured volume along with silky shine.

Rub the product between your palms and work through the lengths of dry hair or for an extra boost use fingertips and work from the roots lifting as you style.

This sounds like the type of product my fella would like, but the pink shade of the product and the jasmine scent which I like may put him off a bit :)

This product is currently reduced to £2.66 at Superdrug in the link above.

TEEEZ TREND COSMETICS BEAUTIFUL FLAT STIFF BRUSH

To be used to apply powder and cream eye shadows.

This eye make-up brush has a beautiful design. I like the shape and density of the bristles. 

ROGER & GALLET FLEUR DE FIGUIER DISCOVERY RITUAL (SHOWER CREAM, BODY LOTION & EAU FRAICHE FRAGRANCE)

Fruit-floral and fig inspired scents. Cleanse with the shower cream, replenish moisture with the body cream and dab on fragrance for an all over irresistible scent.

I have tried quite a few Roger & Gallet products which I love and this fragrance does not disappoint. It is definitely a fruit-floral scent that is great for summer.

SO SUSAN COSMETICS CONCEALER QUAD

Can be used to cover minor blemishes and imperfections. A lightweight formula ideal for summer. Can also be used as a contouring kit.

Dot over the desired area and blend gently until full coverage is achieved.

I have yet to try this palette on my blemishes or as a contoured look, but on first impressions swatching it on my hand I think it won't give too much coverage. Lightweight products are great for summer, but concealer palettes like this need to have a little more density I feel in order to work well. I will however try it out properly before saying that I don't like it.

I am happy with this month's box, but not ecstatic. I am excited however for next month's limited edition box.

Were you excited by your GlossyBox this month? Let me know your favourite products in the comments below.

Love to you all

Shimmer After Your Shower

Hi lovelies. How are you today? I have some more beauty product reviews for you. To find out more keep on reading .........

Cussons Imperial Leather Japanese Spa Nourishing Shower Cream ~ Different sizes available at Superdrug

This product contains green tea, rice milk and jasmine. It does feel very creamy and give a good lather on the skin. The scent is very gentle and baby soft. The writing was already partially rubbed of when given to me as a Xmas gift so this did not happen from me using it.

Cussons Imperial Leather Soft Touch Moisturising Shower Cream ~ Different sizes available at Superdrug

This one contains jojoba milk and vitamin e. It again was very mild and creamy giving a good lather. The scent is very gentle once again. This was also a Xmas gift.

I went through these really quickly as I must admit I love to be very generous with shower gels and creams. The hole at the top tends to dispense a little too much product also though too. Unless you are lucky enough to find these particular scents in the pound shops here is a link to the Imperial Leather Hawaiian Spa Shower Gel at Poundland which sounds like a lovely exotic scent.

Katie Price Precious Love Shimmer Body Lotion

My friend gave this to me which I believe she was given as a gift in a set with the perfume. I don't mind a bit of shimmer in some body creams, especially if I am heading out and want a little something to emphasise areas of my skin. Well let me to you this will not emphasise, but cover your body like a disco ball. This cream has silver shimmer and is packed with the stuff. It is not subtle in any way. I'm a girl who loves shimmer, sparkle and glitter, but this is just too much. If you do want to try it however then I would head to Ebay or Amazon.

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse OR Multi-Usage Dry Oil Golden Shimmer ~ £21.00 for 50ml

I received this bottle in my February 2012 Feelunique Beauty Box. I have linked to feelunique.com above, but this product is also available at M&S for the same price. It is meant for use on the face, body and hair. Now I love a mulit-tasker, but this product I reserved solely for use on my body. This does have a gorgeous golden shimmer which really warms up the skin tone. I love how the shimmer catches the light as you move. I don't really like the idea of this much shimmer on my face and because it's an oil I would only use it at night anyway. It may look okay in some peoples hair, but oils tend to way my hair down so I only use them on my ends at night knowing I can wash it out the next day. As you can see there are still a lot of shimmer particles left in the bottle. Towards the end it started to become less oil and more shimmer which although pretty did become too much. I did really enjoy using the Nuxe oil without the shimmer which you can find a review of here.

Do you love to shimmer? Let me know your favourite oils with or without shimmer in the comments below.

Favourites: 2013 Skincare & Nail Product

Hi there sweeties and happy Thursday! Today I have the last of my 2013 favourites posts for you. Here are my favourite 2013 skincare products with a nail product included.

I don't have all of the products at the moment so this photo only includes the ones I do. I will however include links to posts where I have previously reviewed and shown the products.

Dr Lipp Original Nipple Balm For Lips

I usually prefer twist up tube lip balms as they are easy to use on the go and less messy. This product however was my top 2013 lip saviour. My lips are prone to drying, cracking, peeling, splitting etc. To see my full review check out this link.

RANA Argan Oil

I love using facial oils at night. They really feel like they moisturise and pamper my skin more deeply than most creams, but are too slippery for the day when I apply my make-up. My full review is in this link.

DHC Bio Cellulose Mask

This was the weirdest and funniest mask I have ever used. You can see why in my review here. A great treatment for renewed facial skincare at home.

Poundland Pure Exfoliating Complete Cleansing Wipes

These are so worth the price. Poundland always have these at two packs of 20 wipes for just £1.00. See my full review here.

balance Me. Super Moisturising Hand Cream

A deeply moisturising hand cream with such a therapeutic scent. My full review is in this link.

Crystal Clear Skincare Stay Young Intense Anti-Ageing Serum Moisturiser & Lift Away The Years Wand

This moisturiser combined with the Lift Away The Years magical wand are amazing. If you want more toned, defined and slimmer facial features that lessen the need for make-up contouring check out these products. Available now at Your Beauty M&S. For my Crystal Clear Skincare full reviews check out this post!

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant

These two when used together sent me to cleansed heaven. My skin felt so clean as all of the dirt and make-up residue had been completely removed without being harsh on my skin. To see my review of both products check out this link!

99p Store Cussons Shower Creams & Shower Gels

First of all total bargains at 99p for these 500ml bottles. The scents are great, especially the wild fruit burst. I am using that one currently. Check out my review on those here!

Elegant Touch Rapid Dry For Nails

A quick drying spray that you simply mist over your painted nails when you can't be bothered with a top coat or are just in a rush. Perfect when you have applied nail art that you don't want to smudge with a top coat too. See my review here!

In the shower I tend to use exfoliating gloves on my body which I generally pick up in pound shops unless I receive body exfoliating products for Xmas, birthdays or in my GlossyBox.

I have been trying to make myself moisturise my body every day and I haven't done too bad with that. I usually use a spray oil if I really can't be bothered when I am at home as I think they tend to sometimes take longer to sink into the skin and may stain clothes if I am in a rush to get dressed and go out. I have used many body creams and lotions throughout the year though which you can find reviews of on my blog in the tags section.

I hope that this post and all of my other 2013 favourites posts have helped you discover some products that you might enjoy. If you do try them please let me know how they work for you.

Cheap Creamy & Fruity Shower Washes

Hi there beauties. I wonder what you have all been up to today? I have just been at work, popped to my local high street, done the ironing and cooked. In other words I just can't take all this glamour ;)

For this post I want to let you in on these great value shower washes that are just 99p each.

Left: Cussons Carex Moisture Plus Shower Cream

100% soap free. This creamy formula is so soothing because it has that very natural baby soft smell.

Centre: Cussons Pure Super Zingy Burst Shower Gel

This gel formula has a very juicy and zesty scent like a summer fruit drink that is very refreshing.

Right: Cussons Pure Wild Fruit Burst Shower Gel

This gel formula has a sweet berry scent.

I love all of the Cussons shower creams and shower gels that I have tried in these ranges so far. They are great value at 500ml for 99p each from 99p Stores. Just be careful and tip the product into your hand rather than squeeze out or you will waste a lot down your drain.

What bargains have you discovered in your local 99p Store? Let me know in the comments below.

4 Body Care Products From Boots & 99p Stores

Hey there beauts and happy Sunday to you. What have you been up to this weekend? Enjoying the fashion at London Fashion Weekend or the beauty at Olympia Beauty perhaps?  

Today I have a few product reviews for you for the body.

Left To Right:

Boots 24 Hour Protection Unfragranced Anti-Perspirant

I believe this was around £1.00 for 250ml. This alcohol free item worked well as an anti-perspirant. If you are not into scented products then this could be for you.

Impulse Loving Words Body Fragrance 75ml

I picked this up in the 99p Store. This was a really nice mixture of a fruity yet floral aroma. I like the twist tops on the Impulse cans as you don't lose the lid and the spray is not accidentally used if in your bag.

Boots Shower Cream 250ml

I believe this was less than £1.00. This had a lovely baby soft, creamy scent and the product felt nice on the skin. I am not a fan of shower washes with handle designs though as I always find that product is hard to get out of there and so some gets wasted.

Keep Clean And Moisturise Luxury Body Lotion Vanilla And Anise 250ml

This was another 99p Store purchase. Here is my original post from the range that I picked up. In those first impressions I said that the anise must give it an edge as the vanilla scent was not too sickly for me. I find some vanilla scents too overpowering, but this really is not. It smells much more expensive than 99p. The cream is lovely and thick, but the pump does stop retrieving product just over half way through the bottle. I find that pumps and thick creams always seem to end up doing this.

These are some great products for everyday use that I would certainly repurchase, especially due to their inexpensive cost.

I could not add links in this post as I could not find them on the Boots and 99p Store websites sorry.

Have you found any bargains from Boots own range or in the 99p Stores? Let me know in the comments below.

Body Washing

Ellooooooo. How you doing lovelies? I have two products for the body to review for you today so I will get started.

Left: balance Me. Super Toning Body Wash, Various sizes/prices

Designed to improve skin tone, soften, smooth and encourage good circulation. The gentle formulation will cleanse without striping the skin of it’s natural oils. 

I received this product free with the August issue of Glamour Magazine. This was a good body wash which made my skin feel nicely cleansed. 

I am still undecided about the scent. There is a mixture of juniper, bergamot, geranium and lavender which although it's not unpleasant it's quite distinctive. Usually I prefer more zesty or baby soft shower fragrances. For those that prefer deeper spa scents this could be a winner though.

When I saw super toning my first thought was how will this tone the skin? My skin doesn't feel any firmer or tighter from using this product so I would just say this is taking care of the texture of your skin rather than providing you with a toning workout without the effort.

Right: Cussons Pure Moisturising Shower Cream, 99p for 500ml

I picked this up in the 99p Store. This has a gorgeous and creamy scent of shea butter and honey. I would definitely pick this up again as it is such great value too. I would like to see also if there are other scents in this range. It is a little hefty in the shower. I would suggest a gentle tip and pour method when using this so that you don't waste any product.

What are your favourite shower washes? Do you have any balance Me. or 99p Store favourite products? Let me know in the comments below.

Love to you all
