Thousands of thank yous to the team from Beauty Heaven for sending me this Paula's Choice Liquid Exfoliant as part of my first Discovery Bag Trial Team. I must say this product by Paula's Choice really interests and impresses me. This suitable for all skin types product is designed to- *create radiant, even toned skin *reduce redness and build collagen *unclog and diminish enlarged pores It sounds like a product that can produce incredible long term results. And having seen the way my skin is beginning to change in a few short days has really set in stone to me personally that this product has the ability to help create amazingly flawless skin. This liquid exfoliant has the appearance of water with a slightly oily texture to it. I splash a small amount onto my fingers morning and night and gently place it around my face and neck. The aroma is slightly chemically but within seconds the scent is gone. It does take a minute or so to absorb into my skin but once it does it is ready and waiting to work alongside my favourite moitsuriser. Each day I find it very gentle to use and never once did I experience any kind of reaction. To be honest I was a bit scared when I read that Salicylic Acid is apart of this formula but it's amazing how soft and gentle it is on the skin. It's like using a toner amped up on anti-ageing properties. Since it has only been a few days of using I have only seen minor changes in my skin such as heightened softness and clearer pores around my chin area but I am so excited to see the change in my skin after a few weeks. It is a really promising product.

Many thanks to beauty heaven and L'Oreal for placing me on the Skin Perfection Trial Team. Just when I thought I was over the whole BB cream phase in walks this Skin Perfection BB. I just want to begin by saying for a (sometimes) busy mum this product has been a miracle. When racing around in the morning making lunches and getting the kids ready for school I have limited time to dedicate to myself. When I reach for this L'Oreal BB Cream I know I will be super happy with the end result each time. The squeezable tube makes obtaining and applying the product super easy while the cream itself is as smooth as butter blending into the skin effortlessly. By far one of the best BB Creams I have tried to date! For my light skin tone I choose the shade fair which worked well for me. It's basically a perfect match and once applied it delivers all over even coverage with a naturally healthy glow. I just love how trustworthy it is. It's not difficult to apply (like a foundation), is easily smoothed around my face, never feels heavy and allows me to look a bit better in like under 30 seconds. It's great for a mum on the run!!! I will be thoroughly enjoying this product for a very long time to come.

Huge thanks to the team from beauty heaven and to L'Oreal for placing me on the Skin Perfection Trial Team. Now here we have a product that is alike nothing I have tried to date. A product that can blur pores and imperfections on the skin. It sounded so amazing!! The product comes held inside a 15ml soft plastic tube with a screw off lid that would be very handy to travel with if need be. The cream is lightly tinted and so unbelievable light and almost mousse like in texture. To use I place the most tiniest amount onto my fingertip and then spot apply to the places I need it most. Those being my nose (pore) and my chin (imperfections). I just love the feeling of this cream...it feels so airy. And as I apply it to my skin it just disappears in leaving behind a real velvety smoothness. So while I love everything so far I can't help but notice no results on my skin. My skin looks and feels fab as but my pores and imperfections remain unaltered. Considering that pores and imperfections are the focus of using this product I feel let down that this product doesn't effect them. But I am torn as it is a lovely product to use and I adore how my skin feels after application. LOL So its about 70% love and 30% disappointment. I will keep trying this product out overtime as it has a long "once opened" life of 2 years but I cannot see myself buying this again in the future.

This product is an absolute essential for this time of year. The high concentration of vitamin e and rosehip oil deliver intensely hydrating results that are immediately. The design of the packaging makes it not only very handbag friendly....but easy to use also. The pointed tip of the applicator allows us to control effortless the amount of product to dispense. In turn preventing wastage. I don't consider it a oil though. It is much thicker and more like a gel to me. It has no fragrance and is very suitable for sensitive skin. I use it all over but mainly on my hands and lips as they are my problem areas. When applied on my hands the product can feel slightly tacky for a brief time afterwards so less is best. I love the glossy shine it provides when applied to my lips. It is a wonderful product for quick hydration that is long lasting.

I love the packaging of this foundation and find the pump style makes it very easy to obtain the product with control of how much you need. The product stays well protected and keeps hygienic too. I have a light skin tone use the shade Crystal Beige which is a perfect match. It gets absorbed into my skin easily, layers well and looks lovely and natural. When dispensed the foundation is mousse like in texture. It's thick but also very light......like a moisturiser. I can skip using a primer when using this foundation, it really does perform really well without one. After I've applied it the foundation instantly covers all imperfections and uneven skin tone. The complexion of my skin is left looking even and youthful thanks to the blemishes being concealed. I get day long coverage too. I couldn't ask for anything more from this foundation. I really enjoy using it and can always rely on it to give me what I need.

I know I have reviewed this previously but just wanted to update everybody now that I have finished off the tube. I am sad to see my L'Occitane Foot Cream gone to be honest. Over the time I used it I found myself being very loyal to it....I would use it each night before bed and wake to lovely soft feet. It cured the dry patches I gain around my ankles and made the health of my toe nails so much better. It smelt gorgeous and never left any greasy residue behind which was great. I love how quickly it gets absorbed too, especially into such tough skin. I wasn't the only one who loved it....partner loved receiving a foot massage every now and then so I think he is more upset then me now that the tube is all gone. I loved this foot cream and loved gaining all its benefits. I would love to own another tube! I'll never forget that beautiful lavender aroma.

This is by far the best oil I have ever tried and I love it to bits. With its blend of Moroccan argan oil, linseed oil, sweet almond oil and aloe vera it provides instant conditioning, shine and moisture while smoothing frizz and flyaways. It is also rich is essential fatty acids and is high in Vitamin E which increases the hairs strength and reduce breakage. See why I am impressed :) I love having a dropper to apply the hair oil too. It makes dealing with oil easy. To apply I place a few drops into the palm of my hand and then rub my hands together to even out the consistency. Then I massage my hands over and through my hair. Then I continue to dry my hair, either naturally or with a dryer. Once dry my hair feels dreamy and how I want it to feel forever. It's soft and has shine. My ends have volume, bounce and health. After many months of use I struggle to find split ends these days which makes me so happy. This oil is perfect for severely dry and damaged hair. Couldn't recommend it enough!

So I am usually a roll on girl because I trust what they have to offer. I don't usually use a spray deo because of the white mark effect and harshness on my skin. Then I was sent a sample of this Nivea Stress Protect deo and was impressed the moment I tried it for the first time. It is very gentle on the skin and doesn't feel dry or powdery when applied plus NO WHITE MARKS. I love being able to trust it against staining my clothes in anyway. It most definitely protects me very well from odor and sweating. I do a lot of anxious sweating so I know that I can rely on this deo to protect me. Everything I dream from a deo to deliver it does. I wouldn't leave the house without it on! Love it and highly recommend to all....including those roll on devotees.

For the 2014 Glosscars awards I am nominating the Olay Regenerist Advanced Cleansing System to win Best New Skin Care Device. The Olay Cleansing System is still a staple for my skin care routine and will continue to be! It truly is a fantastic cleansing system that delivers an amazing cleanse at such an affordable prize that every woman can buy it. Everything you need comes in the kit. You get the device, a brush head, batteries and even a deluxe sample size of an Olay exfoliating cleansing cream. Not only is the starter kit affordable but so is everything else you may need to be replaced. The replacement heads and cleansing cream are really inexpensive. The device itself is so awesome and really a lot of fun to use. It has two setting, a low and a high, that can be chopped and changed to suit your skin. It is also waterproof so perfect to use in the shower. It is easy to use. I just dampen my face and apply the cleanser. Then I use my brush to provide the most perfect clean I could ever ask for. It is so gentle on my skin and I can feel it working its magic. It feels like its providing a gentle exfoliation as well. I continue to use the brush on my face for around a minute and then rinse clean. It truly works! After each use my face feels clean and clear. All products are effortlessly removed and my skin is refreshed. I've noticed that this cleansing system works very well with all cleansers…creamy cleansers partner with the Olay brush really well. Ok to sum up this is why this product is a winner- *affordable to buy *easy to use *gentle on the skin *effectively removes all makeup and products *leaves skin feeling like heaven *over time improves the appearance of my skin What more can I say. It has to be one of the best beauty products I've ever used. I cannot recommend this system enough to everyone!! It would be perfect for teenagers experiencing troublesome skin. If you don't already own it you simply must buy and try!

For the 2014 Glosscars awards I am nominating the Nivea In Shower Body Lotion to win Best New Body Moisturiser. If you have tried this product then I'm sure you will agree with me that it is purely awesome!! It is also many other things like amazing and perfect….i could go on and on. Basically in the past I would skip body care. My reason being I was just too lazy. I'd get out of the shower and put my clothes on then go back to being a mummy. What I love about this Nivea body lotion is that its so simple to use…that simple I thought I was doing it wrong the first time i used it. After you have cleansed your body you apply this Nivea body lotion by rubbing it all over your skin. And then you rinse off. That's it!! When I am massaging this lotion into my skin in the shower I can feel how effective it is. Even while I have water on my skin I can feel how hydrating and nourishing this product is. The excess product washes off very easily and what gets left behind could only be describes as heaven on the skin. The aroma smells amazing… like a floral moisturiser and this lingers on the skin even when dry. When I'm finished in the shower I dry off and marvel at how soft and smooth my skin feels. And this result lasts day long which is incredible. Caring for my body used to be something I would skip but not anymore. Plus I get to hang around in the shower a bit longer while I use it ;) It's affordable, it's long lasting, and its quality and it works! This is a product that should be a staple in everyone's bathroom. Just check out all the positive reviews its received already. 5 star product and a true winner!
