EUCERIN HYALURON-FILLER RANGE

Hi there beauties! I know it's been a while, but rather than chatting about that I am going to get straight into today's review of some products that were sent to me to sample.



This cream has been created to plump up the skin disguising lines and wrinkles and retaining water to lessen the opportunity for new ones appearing. Perfect for under make-up.


With an overnight regeneration formula skin feels soft and well cared for.


Particularly targeting crows feet this product helps to smooth out the delicate eye area for a more youthful appearance.


This product has skin smoothing properties, but is also a colour correcting make-up moisturiser to even out the skin tone. It can be worn under foundation if extra coverage is needed.

Each product in the clinically-tested Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler range contains a combination of high and low Hyaluronic Acid as well as bio-active Glycerin Saponin, to help plump even the deepest of wrinkles from within!

Before agreeing to sample these products I asked this question:

I must admit to not knowing much about the ingredient Glycerin Saponin. I am assuming that it is a natural ingredient safe for all skin types?

Reply:

Soy-derived bio-active Glycine-Saponin is proven as one of the most effective substances for enhancing natural Hyaluronic Acid production, and as an ingredient, is present in many different skincare products. It stimulates fibroblasts, the skin cells responsible for dermal Hyaluronic Acid production, to boost synthesis of new Hyaluronic Acid. It is perfectly safe to use on the skin and has no known side effects.

Overall thoughts:

I have to say that the day cream, night cream and eye cream in this range have worked absolute wonders for my skin. I have used some great skincare products in my time, but my skin has never felt smoother. I had noticed I was developing more lines around my eyes recently, but these products, especially the eye cream have helped to reduce them fantastically. They are just magic and I would totally recommend them for anyone with dry and/or ageing skin. They create a great base for your make-up to go on more smoothly too.

The CC Cream looked a bit too dark for my skin tone when I pumped it out, but once blended in it looked quite natural. It did even out my varying skin tones to some degree and once I had applied my concealer and other make-up it didn't look too bad. However if you prefer more coverage I would use it as a base under foundation as suggested.

I hope you are all doing well and that you find something worth trying out from this review.

Check out the EUCERIN HYALURON-FILLER RANGE and tell me below which products you can't wait to try. You can pick them up in Boots!

Love to you all

EUCERIN CC CREAM & SPF SKINCARE


Hi beauties. I hope you are all fabulous as always. Today I have some product reviews for you from the Eucerin range that were sent to me to try out. They are focused on SPF protection, but there is also a CC cream in the mix too so read on ......



With a long lasting matt finish effect this high factor daily sunscreen protects against sun-induced skin damage. With intense moisturisation it reduces the appearance of wrinkles on the face and decolletage.

This product has a very light texture and sinks into the skin easily. I wore it under make-up without any issue as it is not like some sunscreens that can be quite greasy. Although it has a mattifying effect it did not dry out my already dry skin. It just kept it even in texture.


Suitable for sensitive skin types and fair complexions. With a mattifying effect and tinted cream that also protects the skin from sun damage.

This is also very lightweight and sinks in really easily. It again mattifies, but does not cause problems for my dry skin. Although the product is tinted I would not say it gave me natural tan skin tone. The colour disappeared into nothing and instead the product worked as an excellent primer, especially under make-up. My imperfections were blurred and my skin looked more even prior to make-up application.

These two products are great as part of your every day skincare and if you are wearing it make-up routine.



Made for dry skin this water-resistant sunscreen protects against skin age-ing and pigment spots.


This non-sticky, non-greasy water resistant formula absorbs easily into the skin giving you a high level of sun protection.

These two products are easy to use and perfect for on the go sun protection.

Check out the full Eucerin Sun Protection range to discover your perfect combination of products.

DERMALOGICA CHARCOAL RESCUE MASQUE


Hello peeps. Charcoal face masques have been very popular recently so when offered the opportunity to review one for you gorgeous people I jumped at the chance.



Said to instantly detoxify and brighten all skin conditions this masque contains charcoal, volcanic ash, sea silt, bamboo and sulphur to give skin a healthy, vibrant and balanced glow. The idea is to draw out impurities, refine pores, calm redness, improve skin texture and smoothness while addressing skin ageing, dullness, breakouts and sensitivity.

Application is simple enough. After cleansing I applied this generously to my face and neck while avoiding the eye area. You can leave it on for between 7-10 mins. I left it on for 10. It goes a little stiff, but nothing drastic. My chin and other areas of my face started to feel a bit prickly and uncomfortable, but I persevered and waited until the time was up. Then I lightly massaged with very wet hands to enhance exfoliation. I couldn't quite remove all of the product easily with just my hands as my skin still felt a bit gritty so I did what I usually do and used a face cloth with water to speed up the process. I then rinsed went over my skin with a face wipe to ensure all the product was gone and applied moisturiser.

So am I now a charcoal face masque convert?

I am sad to say with this particular product I am not swayed. I love Dermalogica as a skincare brand, but this product was definitely not for me. It just did not feel comfortable sitting on my skin. It was like little pin pricks probably where I had impurities being drawn out. I didn't have a drastic reaction to the product or anything, but my skin felt like it did not appreciate the masque at all. It was like my skin had been zapped of moisture and although I am sure impurities may have been drawn out I did not see any obvious improvement in my skin.

Because of my experience using this product I can not recommend it unfortunately. I think sensitive and fragile skin types should be especially careful if considering using this masque.

Please leave details of your charcoal face masque experiences below along with recommendations.

DHC FOAMING MESH


Hi everyone. I am not going to go into a massive ramble about why I have been away, but I am having problems with my laptop so please be patient if my posts are not as frequent.

I have been sent a great skincare tool to review that costs just £2 so read on if you want to know more.....



This is a face cloth that boosts the performance of the cleansing products you already use to remove dirt and make-up. 

Simply wet the mesh as well as your face and neck. Add any cleanser of your choice into the centre of the mesh and rub between your hands to create a lather. Then hold the ring with one hand and squeeze the foam out with the other.

The amount of lather created is much more than you would get by just using your hands so you are using less of your cleansing products and saving money!

I was kindly also sent the DHC FACE WASH which works really well with this product creating a very generous foam. The face wash is very gentle so perfect for sensitive skin types.

Check out the links for more product information and also to watch the foaming mesh in action.

I use these two products now morning and night as they make removing dirt and make-up so quick and easy.

Share your favourite DHC skincare products in the comments with reasons why. I would love to hear your recommendations.

SKINCARE : IN-SHOWER BODY MOISTURISERS


Hey lovelies. If you are anything like me and lazy when it comes to applying body moisturisers daily then I could have the perfect solution for you.



This was given to me in a gift set for my birthday, but I have linked to Superdrug above where this product is currently reduced. This has a lovely creamy honey scent that moisturises the skin really well. I have used a few of the Nivea In-Shower body moisturisers and love them. They are so easy to use and add moisture quickly all over your body. Just use your usual shower wash. Then apply this to wet skin and rinse off.


This product is applied to wet skin in the shower and then you rinse it off. It does say you can follow with body cream, but I didn't find I needed to unless I perhaps shaved my legs that day and wanted to add extra moisture. The scent is fantastic with pistachio, almond, and sweet vanilla.

I love both of these brands for lots of products. I do think I like the Nivea In-Shower Body Moisturisers more as I find they moisturise my skin deeper and for longer.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN USING IN-SHOWER BODY MOISTURISERS AS THEY WILL MAKE THE FLOOR OF YOUR SHOWER/BATHTUB SLIPPERY ESPECIALLY IF YOU APPLY TOO MUCH!! SO TREAD CAREFULLY AND CLEAN UP AFTERWARDS :)

In the comments below please leave your favourite time saving products for us busy lovelies!

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.



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.


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

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 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.


I have previously reviewed this product here!


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.


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.


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.
