UNTOUCHED?

 

If you are like myself and have a beauty subscription box, I'm sure you have some of the samples still around and untouched. I often find one or two items in the box that stick out to me and would want to use straight away however, I always put the rest of the products aside to try use a later time. Do I remember that the products put aside are there after a few days? No!

As some of you know, that's if you follow me on any of the social networks... that I went away for a long weekend for my birthday and anniversary with my partner. Instead of buying travel size products to take away with me, I brought the untouched samples from Birchbox with me. It was extremely convenient and saved me a few pounds.

 My favourites out of the bunch are:

Beauty Protector Leave-in Conditioner

Montibello Gold Oil Essence

Molton Brown Ylang-Yang Body Wash

Aveeno Clear Complexion Daily Cleansing Pads

When I was living in San Diego CA, I had discovered these exfoliating and foaming cleansing pads through my cousin. Before I had the Clarisonic, this was the best exfoliator at the time. It still is a great cleanser and exfoliator if you cannot get your hands on a Clarisonic. On one side of the pad is soft and on the other is textured with bumps that softly exfoliate your face.

I did not want to take my Clarisonic with me for the long weekend getaway just in case there was a slight chance that I would leave it behind. The only negative thing that I can say about these pads is the packaging. It comes it quite a large tub and can take quite a bit of room in your bag. Other than that, it is a great product!

If you would like a detailed review on any these products, pop me an email and I would be glad to

ELF COSMETICS

 Here is some backgroujd information about E.L.F Cosmetics for those who are not familiar with the brand.

Launched in New York and guided by American celebrity and beauty professional Scott-Vincent Borba (the man behind Hard Candy’s cosmetics line) e.l.f. Cosmetics burst onto the beauty scene in June 2004 with the mission to provide customers with quality cosmetics at low prices. Today, revolutionary cosmetics brand e.l.f., continues to enable makeup lovers to enjoy and experiment with makeup without sacrificing their budget.

People often ask how e.l.f. are able to provide their customers with such fantastic products, most for as little as £1.50. By sourcing the best ingredients at competitive prices, and by using the internet for branding rather than higher-priced advertising media e.l.f are able to pass the savings on to their customers providing them with some of the highest quality, low cost cosmetics on the market today.

e.l.f continues to revoloutionise the beauty industry, turning heads away from more expensive brands with its unique approach. A favourite of some of the industries most influential Beauty Editors and customers alike, e.l.f.’s community and following continues to grow.

e.l.f. arrived on British shores with it’s much anticipated launch on 27th November 2007 and is run by Welsh brother and sister team, Neil Phillips and Jo Westlake from e.l.f. UK’s HQ in sunny Swansea!!

I had first noticed this brand on my travels within the US quite a few years back. I had to travel every year to the US to make sure I renewed my greencard. I can not say that I love all of their products as I have not tried their whole range however for the few products that I have tried, I can say that ELF is a worth getting your hands on!!!

Also keep a look out online for their discount offers! I am quite sure after they gain massive brand awareness here in the UK, there will not be huge discount offers.

Thank you ELF cosmetics =)

PHILOSOPHY PURITY

As of right now I am not happy with my beauty skin regime because I know it could be improved. The way I neglect my skin...I should have acne! Thank goodness my skin isn't that bad.

I have decided to try out Philosophy Purity. 3-in-1 cleanser for face and eyes.

I love the fact that this cleanser comes in a small 90ml bottle as I can test it out. If by chance I do not like the product, at least I didn't spend the full price for a big bottle. Hopefully this agrees with my skin.

Do you use this cleanser? If this works for you what type of skin do you have? What facial cleanser do you recommend for oily combination skin?
