The Body Shop Seaweed Pore Cleansing Facial Exfoliator Review

In this post I will be reviewing the seaweed pore cleansing facial exfoliator from the body shop. This product retails for £9.00 for 75ml

(Reference: thebodyshop.co.uk) This facial polish helps to cleanse pores and rebalance oil.

• Exfoliates
• Rebalances oil
• Refreshing

This product can be found here http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/skincare/exfoliators-masks/seaweed-pore-cleansing-facial-exfoliator.aspx 

When I first purchased this product I was excited to use it as i had heard great reviews about it. I was most excited about the possibility of getting rid of my blackheads on my chin...

However, I was very dissapointed in this product as it didn't improve my skin at all and it did not seem to touch my blackheads at all. Instead I was left with a very irritated sore face which did not look to pleasant. This face exfoliator just scratched the skin surface. 

I also feel that this item is a little bit overpriced and there are much better products about for near enough the same price. Therefore, I wouldn't reccomend this product at all.

Maybe you have had a different experience with this product? Let me know your opinions on this product in the comment section down below...

Aussie Moisture Rich Shampoo and Conditioner Review

Hey :)

So this post will involve me reviewing Aussie's Moisture Rich Shampoo and Conditioner...

Shampoo 300ml

Conditioner 250ml

This shampoo and conditioner is relatively cheap and is 99% of the time on offer... For example asda usually have the 3 for £10 offer, whilst superdrug will have the 2 for £6.99 offer.

I have used many different products over the years and Aussie is one of the best products I have used. I even use it on my hair extensions! This product is inexpensive and there are different types of Aussie shampoo and conditioner suitable for every hair type.

These products will make your hair feel amazing and your pocket won't suffer either! I use this product every 2-3 days (that's how often I wash my hair) and it made my hair look and feel great.

The smell is also delicious, it's so lush I can't help but take the cheeky sniff of my own hair lol (nor can my boyfriend)...

I have used what feels like a million different shampoo and conditioner brands, and Aussie is the brand that I always go to.

Overall the shampoo and conditioner is very hydrating without overdoing it. It replenished my hair with the moisture that I lose on a daily basis. It has natural aloe in it, so it left my hair feeling really silky and protected  It also contains Jojoba oil which is great for frizz as it calmed down my little fly-aways and helped me maintain a smooth appearance regardless of the humidity.

Have you used this shampoo and conditioner, what is your favorite shampoo and conditioner?

Haul: Real Techniques Brushes (Core Collection, Expert Face Brush, Blush Brush, Stippling Brush, Powder Brush)

Hey,

It's been quite a while since I have posted on my blog but for now on I will be regularly blogging :) ,

In this post I am going to be showing you my new purchase, I originally was using the E.L.F. studio line brushes, but I decided I wanted something a bit nicer. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the E.L.F brushes but I wanted something a bit more special and I always hear good things about the real technique brushes so I thought I would give them a go :) .

In the next coming weeks I will review these brushes, but for now I thought I would just show you them :)

This is the core collection: 

Detailer Brush: Precision cut to effortlessly conceal problem areas, or use with lipstick for long lasting shape and definition.

Pointed Foundation Brush: Use with liquid foundation to build custom coverage

Buffing Brush: Ideal for full coverage application of powder and mineral foundation

Contour Brush: Delicately applies highlighter to contour or create sheer, soft focus finish

Within this collection is a Panoramic Case, which is a dual carrier and stand that keeps the brushes organised on your counter or when your on the go.

The next brush I got was the Powder Brush

The Powder Brush  evenly applies powders and mineral foundations for a smooth, high definition result. The brush is said to give you a pixel perfect even in harsh light. The brush also has ultra plush taklon bristles.

This brush is the Expert Face Brush

The Expert Face Brush is said to be ultra firm an broad for application and blending cream or liquid foundation.

This is the Stippling Brush

The Stippling Brush  is the trade secret for creating airbrushed, high definition results with all types of make-up.

Last but not least, is the Blush Brush 

The Blush Brush  is hand cut to contour and define cheeks for flawlessly blended, high definition results.

Are you looking to get these brushes? or do you already own them?! let me know what you think in the comments below :)
