Burts Bees Mama Bee Nourishing Body Oil & Belly Butter Review

Image
Burts Bees Mama Bee Nourishing Body Oil & Belly Butter Well ever since I found out I was pregnant (what a surprise!) I was gifted these two from my sister. I literally have been using them from week 6 to now which is 8 and a half months pregnant and I can say confidently I have no stretch marks, irritated or taunt/ tight feeling skin! It might be down to good genes, but I feel these products play a part in making my skin feel moisturised and soft.  Nourishing Body Oil I love the oil, I use it every day without fail, after a shower or just before bed, it smells refreshing, citrus or lemony like which was perfect for me when I was going through the morning sickness faze. It wasn't too strong or unpleasantly sweet, infact I found the smell comforting when I went to sleep - 1st trimester hormones and that! Belly Butter The cream is great, I use it all over my body, as well as my bump and back. This doesn't have a strong fragrance to it at all, smells mildly like shea butt

Organix Renewing Argan Oil of Morocco Review

Organix Renewing Argan Oil of Morocco Review   I'll get straight into the review...I don't like the smell! It smells too much like a perfume, not natural enough. If you like cosmetic fragrance smells then this will be fine for you. I'm not one that bothers too much about fragrances, but I like my hair smelling fresh, or fruity or something thats abit more natural. I would of preferred the natural smell of argan which is just nutty compared to this. How I use it/makes my hair feel It says its a 'Weightless reviving dry oil' which it is - it has a slippery thin textured oily feel. It's not greasy or heavy on the hair, its almost like a thin smooth textured serum. I spray this on my hair when its damp, nearly dried and it helps get the tangles out my hair when I'm combing it through and I'm able to blow dry my hair smoothly too. I have very thick hair so I did not find it helped my hair look any better, although it did help make it feel smooth .

Topshop Contour Cream in Swerve - Review

Topshop Contour Cream in Swerve - Review I could totally rave about Topshop's makeup all day. The quality is amazing, the shade ranges are unique, their packaging is cute, and their prices are not too bad either! To add to my collection I got the Topshop Contour cream in the shade 'Swerve'. I'm not much of a contour girl; I use Topshop's Matte bronzer as a subtle contour sometimes but as the Anastasia kits started coming about with contour creams I came across this product. I couldn't see myself getting a full on contour palette, simply because I'm not into the full makeup look, so I thought this small little contour cream compact was perfect when I felt like doing a little bit extra. How it feels Firstly it is so easy to use. It has a really good soft smooth texture and I use my fingers to apply or 'draw' on contour lines on my face where ever I want it. I then use a contour brush and soften it out. it's build-able too so you can

100% Pure Cosmetics - Long Last Concealer Review - Peach Bisque

100% Pure Cosmetics - Long Last Concealer with Super Fruits Review - Peach Bisque I bought this concealer in the shade 'Peach Bisque'. The shade goes well with the foundation that I have in Peach Bisque also, it is slightly lighter than the healthy mix foundation which is perfect for a concealer. How it feels/looks The texture is very smooth and creamy. I think it's a good concealer for winter as it is quite creamy and won't dry you around the eyes. The thing I noticed is that it looks quite shiny for the under eye once you put it on, so I would need to set it with a powder to make it look matte. I've used other concealer's where I have not needed to set it with a powder so its just an extra step I've got to take.  It is moisturising and does stay put even though its creamy but it does look quite dewy on the skin. I'm not sure how this would feel in hotter climates as it already looks dewy, it might just melt! I did have to apply this produc

Sukin Facial Moisturiser Review

Sukin Facial Moisturiser I think I'm totally due a review of this as I've gotten through the whole bottle...  I came across their products in a health store near me, I bought this and the Sukin Face Toner spray (which I've already done a review on). This is a great moisturiser, I did feel when I first got this that it clogged up my pores or was too greasy for my face as it's a natural product and can cause breakouts, but as my skin's got used to it- I loved it! I use a thin layer during the day under my foundation and it doesn't get greasy at all, I get a nice glow by the end of the day. I get dry cheeks but an oily T - Zone and this product balanced my skin out well.   At night time before bed, especially in the winter as my skin gets so dry and stripped after washing it, I apply a generous thicker layer of this before bed and wake up with clear super smooth skin.  My Final Thought I will repurchase this, it's one of the most na
