L'occitane Cherry Blossom hand cream ♥

    Enriched with Shea Butter, this creamy and non-greasy moisturizer nourishes and protects hands, leaving them delicately scented. Contains cherry extract from Luberon, Provence.£8

    It seems the season of dry-hands has returned! What I love about this L'Occitane Cherry Blossom Hand Cream is that the shea butter component provides instant, immediate relief, leaving my skin feeling silkier and smoother after application. It dries nicely and smoothly and is not too thick or heavy on the hands. Great for those of us who are impatient with hand creams. I personally love quality scents and this Cherry Blossom fragrance is sweet and delicate at the same time. It's a really subtle scent which lingers on the skin just enough to make it really pleasant, without being overpowering. If you like sweet, fruity fragrances, especially with hints of cherry, and are looking for a hand cream that definitely works, this L'Occitane cream delivers highly in scent and smoothness.This can be purchased here for £8, and comes in a handy travel size!
 

 

Nivea Primer Sample ♥

Nivea is probably my go to skin care brand, whether its for body moisturising, or lip balms etc, I've even started using some of their make up products. I just know that I can rely on this brand to deliver great results.

I chose the normal/combination primer (there is also a dry/sensitive option). It has a double action formula which can be used to moisturise the skin, it absorbs instantly into the skin due to its light texture and uses effective hydrators for long lasting moisture throughout the day. It can also be used to provide a smooth base ready for make up application and even helps your make up to stay in place.

The texture is really light, like a creamy gel. It provides the moisture which you would expect from a thicker/richer moisturiser, but instantly absorbs into the skin. Enriched with Vitamins and natural Lotus extract the primer really does give the skin a refreshed feel and appearance. It even smells clean & refreshing.

The primer is for use after cleansing, where you should massage the cream into the skin in small circles, and then you can pretty much apply your make up straight away, great for making you look your best in a hurry. Especially if you're like me and would rather have the extra 5 mins in bed rather than waiting for your moisturiser to sink in!

I have really noticed a difference in both the feel & appearance of my skin, and it keeps my make up looking flawless pretty much all day. Overall I think this is a must have product at the moment, and you should definitely give it a go, as we all need these kind of multi action essentials in our lives!

Best of all, this comes at a bargain price of only £3.99 for 50ml at Superdrug

Clarins New Double Serum ♥

  As I was picking up some baby food for my little brother from boots, I was offered to try out a sample from Clarins.
So, here you go, new clarins double serum specially designed for complete age control.Obviously, I'm a bit young for this, so I personally looked for key factors of how the serum goes onto skin, what feeling it leaves and etc.
So, firstly about what it is. This is more than a simple serum, it is a complete age control concentrate with 20 plant extracts which stimulates all skins vital functions.
Why double chamber than? In order to preserve the quality of the liposoluble and hydrosoluble ingredients, the two phases found in Double Serum never come into contact. A balanced amount of each phase is automatically mixed upon  application.
When I applied it onto my face I was very impressed. The texture is really unique as I have never came across such a light formula despite being oily formula. I'm not sure about the effect but I have read many reviews and most are impressed. And the scent is lovely.
It was actually created by Japanese perfumer and its a blend of fruity and floral notes that are calming and fresh.
You can get this serum from John Lewis for £55!

Free Sample of L'oreal EverPure shampoo + conditioner ♥

 

 

*L'oreal EverPure Colour Care System with botanic oils

 

 

Recently, L'oreal was offering a free sample of their new EverPure non-sulphate shampoo. I grabbed this offer, as I do adore L'oreal as a brand. Also, my hair was dyed so many times that I want to start taking good care of it now.

It came in a lovely package within two weeks since I ordered it. According to L'oreal, "Specially designed to leave coloured, weakened hair looking shiny and noirished". It is also described as a non-sulphate Colour Care system with botanic oils such as rosemary and juniper.I read several pages about sulphates and apparently they tend to be bad for your hair so I think that using a non-sulphate cleanser will be more natural.

I really like the packing as always L'oreal found a simple and elegant design to suit every bathroom. It costs £5.99 from Boots or Superdrug - quite expensive for me so it is worth to try before you buy!

When I went onto trying it the colour of the actual shampoo is white and it also smells really fresh and nice probably like rosemary. So the smell was very pleasant and a good change from boring fruity and floral shampoo. When washing out hair felt very smooth.

I prefer not to blow dry my hair so I just let it dry naturally.Hair did feel a lot softer but I wasn't that impressed with conditioner because when I brushed my hair it was a bit dangle.

Unfortunately, the sample was only enough for one wash but considering results I might buy a full bottle of EverPure shampoo but not conditioner.

L'oreal Paris Revitalift total repair first Anti-Ageing BB cream ♥

Yeees! After two weeks desperately looking into my post I finally received it! L'oreals 1st BB cream that targets 10 signs of ageing!It came in lovely package with three samples inside of medium shade in side! Usually when I apply a normal BB, it fells like a mask, blocks my pores and doesn't let my skin breath! Totally different with that one! It goes on like a dream living my skin feeling refreshed and natural! It also evened my skin tone!As me, having some spots, it perfectly covered them and makes difficult to see!The only problem I had was that my skin tone naturally is very light, so medium shade was a bit orange but still gave my skin a little tan!Foundation and anti-ageing cream in one!What else can a girl dream about?
