Velvet Lashes

I adore Micellar water and have tried many brands, one I picked up on the whim was the Boots Botanics Micellar 3 in 1 Cleansing Solution which you can purchase from Boots for £2.99, but hurry to boots.com as they have an offer on here.

 

The thing I love about Micellar water is it feels like you are literally taking your makeup off with water where there are no nasty hidden ingredients that our skin will love. This 3 in 1 cleansing solution is gorgeous, it melts my makeup away and makes my face feel so clean and refreshed. The solution is fragrance, alcohol and soap free which is great as these are not what our skin wants.

 

Boots Botanics range have bought out this range with the Royal Botanic Gardens as they believe flowers have an important role in making us have the skin care we all want and need which they state proves to work.

 

This Micellar water contains Hibiscus, which is said to be natures brightness booster, and a mild exfoliator due to its natural AHAs. This gentle flower plays a role in enabling this product to help our skin feel smooth, toned and brighter. The product is easy to use, you barely need anything on a cotton pad to wipe away your makeup as a little goes a long way, and what I love is how pure the formula is, my skin feels better for using it, as with some products I still feel my skin isn't clean, but this instantly makes my skin feel refreshed and ready for bed. I would highly recommend this product and would be one I repurchase in the future, it even made my April favourites.

Hi loveys!

 

Todays review is on the highly promoted Loreal Mega Volume Miss Manga mascara that promises to give "mega volume from top to bottom lashes". Did this mascara tempt me away from my holy grail Maxfactor Calorie 2000 mascara or did it leave me gutted I wasted my money?

 

This mascara is appealing to the eye with its metallic pink top and black bottom half with pink writing, it is chunky which I normally don't like as find it difficult to use, I would much prefer a slim handle but cant have it all can we! The mascara has a large plastic wand which picks up a lot of product, the wand does bend which I found odd at first but when using this I found that the flexible head helped me when applying.

The product applied easily and at first didn't make a lot of difference to my lashes, but as I applied again I was starting fall in love with the mascara! It fanned out my lashes, added volume and length, it was easy to use on my bottom lashes and put it straight in my daily use makeup bag!

 

This is certainly a winner and I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to try a new mascara, it is such a good mascara and is great for use from day to night as you can build layers easily.

 

I got this on offer in Boots for £4.99 but it will retail at £8.99.

 

Have you tried this mascara? if so what did you think?

Hello loveys!

 

Todays post is a review on the Super Facialist By Una Brennan, Tea flower Deep Clean Facial Scrub. I had heard a lot about this product on other blogs and youtube channels. I decided to give it a go when Boots had the 3 for 2 offer, who can resist those offers!

Una brennan has had over 15 years experience and is claimed to be one of the most accomplished facialists and skincare specialists in the UK.

 

The Una Brennan Tea Flower Deep Clean Facial Scrub states it "thoroughly cleanses and exfoliates skin to reveal a clearer, more even textured complexion".


The scrub contains micro beads with menthol to cool the skin and salicylic acid to "eliminate dead skin cells", with elderflower to help "minimise the appearance of pores".

I used this scrub in the evenings after cleansing my skin. I was surprised at how the scrub had a  "chemical" scent! It put me off quite a bit, but after a few uses I realised it was the mixture of menthol and elderflower and I got used to it and grew to like it.

 The scrub is a white creamy formula with small micro beads that gently exfoliated my skin. The formula was lovely, it felt moisturising and after I rinsed it off my skin felt soft and clean. In the morning I woke to feel refreshed and my skin looked and felt clean with an added glow. I love this scrub, though the scent wasn't great it definitely cleaned my skin and did make the appearance of pores reduce, with gentle micro beads to get rid of dead skin cells. I would highly recommend this and for the price of £7.99 I think it is worth it, I think next time I will invest in the Rose facial scrub.

Have you tried this product or have another scrub that you would recommend?
