Calmurid Pro - Body Lipolotion & Moisturising Hand cream Review ♥

Hey guys!

Today's post is going to be on Calmurid Pro

Body Lipolition & Moisturising Handcream

I have recently been sent these product to try and review and I'm not going to make to wait until the end of the post to see if I like the products or not I'm going to tell you right now that I LOVE THEM!

As you guys know from previous posts I have very dry skin and all year round my skin finds a reason to dry out from it being too cold out or being too hot. It get instantly bad to the point where I can't wear makeup without looking like I haven't exfoliated my face in years. I also suffer with dry skin on my legs which can be very very itchy.

Like any other dry skin products I don't really have high expectations as they all say how great they are and they end up doing nothing at all. I had never heard of this brand before and went I googled them nothing really showed up apart from the links to them on boots. 

You can find them here - Hand 
Cream & Lipolotion

The Hand Cream retails for £7.99 and the Body Lipolotion retails originally for £12.99 but has £3 off at the moment on the boots website making it £9.99.

I bet many of you reading this looked at the price and thought "Nearly £13 for some dry body skin cream... forget that". I did the same. However that was before I used it!

The hand cream is a lovely thick creamy texture which blend out beautifully and doesn't leave my hand feeling oily or sticky. This product contains emollients and vitamin B3 which is said to relieve and nourish dry and damaged skin. It is fragrance Free, has no additional colourants and contains 29% lipid. I do get dry hands from time to time with always washing up before, during and after cake making. This does a wonderful job of repairing my hands making them look soft and touchable again!

I gave my mom some of this in a small tub and of a morning and a night time she would apply a small amount. She has been doing this now for about a week and not only herself but I and others can tell her difference, her hands are no longer cracked and dry but lovely and smooth!

The Body Lipolotion is my favourite of the two. Like I said in the beginning I use this both on my face and my body so it is great all in one product. I haven't had any breakout from using it on my face which is always a big downfall with any other dry skin brands even though they say they are for sensitive skin. This lotion forms a protective barrier. It is a natural moisturizer which increases the water content in the skin due to it only having 4% of urea. Like the hand cream it has no additional colourants and contains 39% lipid. The consistency of this product is quite thin and is slightly watery but this is perfect not to create a sticky heavy layer on the skin still giving your skin chance to breathe.

I had been sent some samples to give to other people to try and everyone I have given them to love it just as much as me! My Step nan is a HUGE fan. She get very dry legs due to her medical conditions and everything the doctors have given her hasn't worked at all. This has worked wonders for her and has gone out and brought herself two bottles while they are £9.99 each!

Both of the products are white in colour and both have the same sort of smell. If I'm being honest it remind me a lot of cosmetics my nan would have in the back of her draws but its not an off putting smell at all. Honestly even if the products had a nasty smell I would still love them. They work better than any other products I have tried in a while and I will 110% be repurchasing the Body Lipolotion which I have used it all up which I think may be a while as its a 200ml bottle and I only use a tiny amount each time as a little goes a long way!

Have you guys ever heard of this brand or tried anything from them?
Let me know what you think!

Garnier Ultimate Blends Restoring Body Lotion & Butter Honey Treasures - Review ♥

Hey guys!
Today's post is going to be on 'Garnier Ultimate Blends Restoring Body Lotion & Butter Honey Treasures for Very Dry Skin' 

I was sent these products a while ago to review. I would have done this review earlier but I always like to try out body lotions and body butter for a few weeks before giving my opinion on them so I can give you an in depth review on the product.

If i'm being honest if I wasn't sent this product to review I probably wouldn't have picked it up for myself unless I had heard brilliant things from others.

I'm not a huge fan of body lotions and butters as they usually take FOREVER to soak into the skin and you can't get dressed for a while after putting it on and i usually just skip it completely.

There are 4 ultimate options in this range all to suit to your skin;

Delicate Oat (Dry sensitive) 

A gentle blend of oat cream and almond milk oil, carefully tailored to soothe and restore sensitive skin.

Mythic Olive (Dry Skin) 

An authentic Mediterranean scent made from a powerful elixir of extra virgin olive oil to nourish and hydrate dry skin.

Marvellous Oils (Normal Skin) 

This precious mixture of argan and camellia oil is a wonderful ritual to help keep skin hydrated and soft.

Honey Treasures (Very Dry Skin) 

Very dry skin is a thing of the past thanks to three treasures from the beehive to nourish and restore.

I do suffer from very dry skin on my face and on patches on my body.

First of all the smell of these products are beautiful. It is such a difficult smell to try and describe but it has a light floral smell. It smells soooo good, you will just have to take my word for it if you can't get around to smelling it!
The products contain 3 treasures from the beehive which are Royal Jelly to restore moisture back into the skin, Propolis which acts as a protective barrier to the skin and Honey to nourish and smooth!

The one thing i like about these products is that they do sink straight into the skin and like it says on the packaging "non greasy, non sticky" which is always what you want when you want to put in that little extra time pampering yourself but don't want to have to wait a year for it to try and skin but just plastering a greasy layer over the top.

I first tried the body butter after a shower and loved how it just melts into the skin. Some body butters I have used in the past are all clumpy and leave little gritty bits on the skin. This doesn't do that at all! The body butter is really good for people who suffer with dry skin on their feet. I know it is not intentionally used for the feet but if you apply this product before you go to bed and put warm fluffy socks that have been on the radiator on and left to soak in overnight to then wash your feet the morning after your feet feel so smooth and silky it's amazing! 

The next week I used the lotion which comes with a very handy pump topper. The consistency of this product is nice and thin meaning it soaks into the skin nice and quick for you to get dressed. I like to use this mainly on my arms, chest and hands. This product is better if you are in a rush and wanting to moisturise your skin before quickly needing to throw on some clothes and leave the house. If you have more time the butter is better and I feel moisturises the skin more.

It is going to take me a while to get through these products but I do look forward to carrying on using it to see if in the long run it does help clear up my dry skin in the long run.

If you would like to buy these products you can find them at your local drugstore or supermarket!

Night Time Skin Routine ♥❅

Hey Guys!

Today's post is my night time routine.
I wanted to share it with you because I know many people use loads and loads of products washing their faces a thousand times and putting all kind of lotions and potions onto it to give them "good" skin. Which is all well and good if you have the time and the patience to spend that much time on your skin haha!
I use 4 products every night and another product twice a week.

Yes, I am one of those lazy people who take their make up off with facial wipes but I swear by them and have for years! Nivea Daily Essentials Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes For Dry Skin. As long as you get ones that are moist (I hate that word but couldn't think of a better one to explain what I mean) your makeup will come off and with the cleansing lotion I also use it get into all my pores and removes all the oils and makeup which is left on my face.

This is a new addition to my routine. Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water. Everyone went mad over it for a while and I didn't really understand why and still don't if i'm honest. As an all over the face cleaning water it doesn't do a good job getting rid of all my makeup. I use this mainly for my eye makeup. Cleaning wipes don't get all of your eyes makeup off and I don't fancy rubbing at my eyeballs with a wipe to get every bit of mascara off. I find this product gets all the leftover eye makeup off without me having to scrub at my eyes. I have however also found out that is I use too much of this product it slightly makes me eye sting and water uncontrollably.

The next two products are from Clean & Clear. In my teenage years their products used to break me out like mad! On the left is the Clean & Clear Deep Cleansing Lotion For Sensitive Skin & on the right is the Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Cleanser. The deep cleaning lotion keeps my blemishes at bay and helps clean out my pores while not stripping my skin. The blackhead clearing cleanser is a new addition to routine also. I don't struggle with blackhead but i would like to get rid of the few that I do have mainly on my nose. I will update you on how it works out in the next month or so!

The other product I use twice a week is something I actually didn't take a picture of ha! Dove Original Beauty Cream Bar. The soap adds moisture to my skin where it is needed as well as giving it a deep clean. I only use the soap twice as week as it can add too much moisturisation into my skin and can cause my nose to get more oilier that it usually is.

I don't add moisturiser after cleansing my face as I feel that when I go to bed it creates a layer over film over my skin and doesn't really absorb. I like to let my skin air of a night time and to add moisturiser of the morning before application of any makeup or before heading out into the outdoors.

What do you guys use?

Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid Foundation - 10 Ivory - Review ♥

Hey guys!

Today's post is going to be on the 

Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid Foundation

This is my first time ever trying a maybelline foundation and I am pleasantly surprised. Although I do have dry skin and this foundation is for normal skin i didn't find any problem which it clinging to may of my dry patches and causing my skin to flake.

This foundation is an air-whipped liquid that provides a good amount of coverage and is build-able. I would say it is a medium coverage instead of the full coverage which is speculated on the website meaning it doesn't cover blemishes perfectly like some full coverage foundations. It is meant to give you a 100% pore-less look and even thought it does smooth over some pores I can still see a some one my nose. When pumped of of the bottle it is thick and creamy but once of the skin it feels lightweight.
The main thing for me and foundations is that they are a good colour match and they lasts the day. The colour of this foundation is good but on first swatch it was really orangery on my skin which is strange because many are usually yellow. It however does last the day.
The only downside to this foundation is it make my nose rather oily. I think because like many foundation it doesn't skin into the skin and just sits on top.

It defiantly gives the skin a more dewy look and feel but it is easily fixed with a bit of powder if you like that more matte look like I do.
Maybelline do recommend applying the foundation which your fingers but I apply all my foundations which my Real Techniques Buffing Brush to really work it into my skin.

The product retails for £7.99 for 30ml of product.
Overall this foundation is good but its not my favourite I have ever tried.
Have you guys ever tried it?
