Yu.Be cream

now i love this cream,already on my second pot ,so I'm happy for a small tube to chuck in my bag rather than a pot. this is lovely on the face the camphor smell dies down so don't worry. its very good on dry skin on heels and elbows ,also very good for eczema. and a tub lasts ages as its more a balm consistency.

beauty extra
sanctuary 30 day thermal transformation mask.3.5ml &2ml.
Ive had these in another box so another to add to the collection, one is a serum and the other is a thermal clay mask.

sanctuary face mask

so this box has a bit of everything ,some of the things need looking at for resale as they are not made well enough .


tresemme salon Finnish extra hold hairspray   £4.69 for 500ml sample given 100ml.
now tresemme say this is fast drying and gives all day flexible control ,this extra hold is humidity resistant ,
well i don't like tresemme products as they have too much rubbish in  them but humidity test wore it today in my hair at work in the kitchen ,it failed miserably.so glad i never brought it.

tresemme hair spray

loccitaine immortelle precious cream, £43 for 50ml, sample given 15ml
i love getting these creams as a little goes a long way ,it there major selling anti ageing cream and if you have tried it your probably agree.sinks well into skin and not greasy .

immortelle precious cream

jelly pong pong cosmetics lip stain,£12 ,full size given.2.5g.
these were released for valentines day ,its a rich moisturising  creamy lip stain in bright red .
this is labelled as cruelty free ,made ,packaged ,assembled,in china in case any of you want to know ethics wise . just a note of warning when opening be careful as when you pull the lid off the colour stick shoots out onto the floor as its not pushed down or pressed into the tube,this contains beeswax and ceresin wax for smooth application. would of been OK if in a different colour and for an extra few quid you can get a clarins chubby instead which is far better made .

jelly pong pong lip stain

my mothers day treat from me

hello everyone .
i popped over to Canterbury for a browse.and i needed to pop in to loccitaine shop to have a sniff at the new cherry fragrance .
i always tend to get lost in this shop as i always end up getting more than i went in for.
so i went in to sniff the spring cherry fragrance.
loccitaine can be found here .http://uk.loccitane.com/spring-cherry-eau-de-toilette,83,1,29912,349541.htm

i went in for this spring cherry £32.00

but ended up with this.
spring cherry collection £39.00

spring cherry collection.

the spring collection comprises of 50ml.eau DE toilette,75ml velvet hydrating gel,250ml spring cherry iridescent shower gel,30ml spring cherry hand cream.

the spring Cherry collection captures fresh fruity and floral scents of the first days of Provencal cherry orchards,
the top notes are mandarin and then cherry and magnolia.the mandarin comes through very clear and is defiantly blended with cherry blossoms.
totally different from last years cherry princess range.and also fruitier than the cherry blossom range.

the spring cherry eau DE toilette,  separate price £32

spring cherry eau DE toilette

the shower gel separate price separate price £13
this is slightly fruitier and has a lustre powder in so gives a lovely delicate sheen to your skin after.

spring cherry shower gel.

velvet moisturising gel. separate price 75ml£8.50 or £20 for 250ml.
the gel formula is made with Shea butter,it sinks straight into the skin,the cherry extract is slightly overpowered by the magnolia but left my skin velvety smooth.

spring cherry velvet moisturiser

hand cream 30ml separate price  £8 
you can never ever have too many loccitane hand creams .its one of the best formulae for years  and its so thick but really good on the hands.

spring cherry hand cream

this is more fruity blossom scented as well.

this is a limited edition collection and the hand cream is already low in stock,so for a little bit extra it pays to get this set previous price was £61.50 .

and as i am a VIP member i received the leaflet threw the door for a free full size shower gel if i spent over£35 . 
i forgot the card but once the SA put through the till i also walked out with this.

bomb cosmetics.uk .order review.

hello everyone ,
so for years Ive always looked at bomb cosmetics as the poorer cousin of lush.and never gone near them as Ive been happy to buy from lush since there ctg days ,
but things have happened, been said and its left a sour taste in my mouth. so I'm looking at other companies,ones that don't refuse to sort out scent issues,lack of packaging,giving the real reason products are discontinued. and actually listen to there customers,etc etc.etc etc.

so after looking on you tube videos, and smelling in store . i decided on trying bomb cosmetics.
so my aim was to try shower scrubs.
                                  face wash,
                                  shower gel.
                                  shower soap.
                                   body shower polish.
                                   bath bomb.
                                   air freshener.
wow I'm impressed with the packaging,sturdy box,wood shaving,all tubs shrink wrapped and sealed ,bombs and soaps shrink wrapped,
the first thing that hits you is the strong fragrances ,all the bottled shower and skin care and bath ranges are sls and paraban free.they all contain pure essential oils,pure perfume oils.all made from hand in the factory .in the UK.

packaging very well done.

milk and honey body polish 365ml.
a luxury light scrub body polish with Shea butters.contains Clary sage and chamomile essential oils.
this smells strong ,I'm not keen on the dry form ,will see if it softens in the shower.the clary sage comes through and scents the skin and softens in use,

milk and honey body polish

creamy but very small grains in 

blackcurrant shower polish ,365ml.
it also contain sweet orange and mandarin oils. Shea butters,
this smells amazing,you get a real kick of blackcurrant,orange ,mandarin.
cant wait to try this.

blackcurrant body polish

lathered up with grains in view

this so deep rich blackcurrant i could smell it for ages after my shower.

















scrubology shower scrub ,365ml,
an oil based shower scrub,pure rose and ceder wood oils.sweet almond oils,

scrubology shower gel

olive oil based  scrub

this is really nice and fresh but also very gentle but hard cleaning and also moisturising .
(think rubrubrub by lush equivalent).





superjuice shower gel.365ml.
a rich cleansing and moisturising gel ,with pure orange and mandarin essential oils. grapefruit.
another oh wow .(think brightside from lush)but stronger .cant wait to use this. after using this i gonna have this as a keeper gel,its just like freshly peeled oranges so yummy.

super juice shower gel

a gentle lotion based facial scrub to help remove dead skin.leaving skin rejuvenated.

parma violet wave soap 140g.
interesting this is. Its a sponge cut with waves cut out the top of a sponge.
an exfoliating ,massaging,sponge drenched in soap made with pure essential oils.parma violet fragrances with sandalwood,and lavender.to revive your tired skin.
so you wet the sponge holding the Base of the sponge and use the wave finger to exfoliate the skin then wash off. smells good (gat violets soap by lush).

parma violet wave soap

rhubarb and custard bomb ,160 g.
oh wow ,just like rhubarb and custard sweets ,really strong scented.
this fizzed really well,and wasn't synthetic at all in the water, scented the house out and stayed on the skin after .

rhubarb and custard

free gift for ordering over £30

green kiwi and lime shower gel, 365ml.
also contains ,bergamot oil.its also an olive oil based gel.
zingy and very citrus kick to the shower,

kiwi and lime shower gel

over all the gels are lovely and thick not runny at all.the scents are very strong,the scrubs are gentle but soothe the skin as well as leave you moisturised.I'm really impressed how much this company has changed not cheap and synthetic as other companies make out they are.and will defiantly try other ranges like there wax candles,wax melts,face masks,moisturisers.face washes, and see how they fare.
thanks for reading and please leave a comment i always reply.
