The firs thing I will have to say about this product is the thickness of it..if you suffer from dry skin and really can't seem to find anything that works for you..THIS is what you need!
Personally, I find this just that bit too heavy for my skin for a 'day time' moisturiser and I'm a bigger fan of the night cream..however the very good thing about the day cream is that is contains an SPF which is very very important!
The smell of this stuff really is pleasant however I find it took some time to dry and soak into my skin and left it feeling quite greasy .which isn't the best thing when I'm waiting to do my makeup...however on a lighter note if you do suffer from very dry skin (which I do in the winter particularly in my nose area) I would very, very much recommend this product

Especially around my nose and forehead area I often suffer from really dry skin..and this is literally the only thing I have found that I can really feel getting into my skin..and working! As you can see from the bottle the forumla is a light weighted, whipped gel with what I can only presume is serum whipped inside? The gel isn't heavy on the face so I would actually be able to wear it at night
This product has a sort of creamy smell? Nothing to in your face..which is always good as it's something that goes on your face..
You can leave this mask on for 5-15 minutes..or however long you want really, I've left it on for an hour before for a really intense mask when my T-zone was super, super dry. Although I find after a while the stuff tends to sting my sensitive skin..maybe it's just me..let me know if anyone else has tried this and feels the same!
Apart from the slight stinking sensation the pro's very much out weigh the con's..the formular is subtly creamy smelling, the light whipped forumar is a dream to apply (and look at!) The bottle looks so cute in my bathroom cupboard and the mask is a lovely little 'me time' treat! Although expensive at £14..this is my dry skin saviour, go to product and if the product ever runs out (it seems never ending) I will be re-purchasing!
Has anyone else tried this? Let me know if you have!

I have the thickest hair..ever! Since I've been growing it out recently and its gotten pretty long now, I really suffer from the dreaded frizz, especially now its getting hotter! I hope my little holy grail list of hair tamers and products helps out you girls that like me, have a lions mane of hair!
The products shown above are available in boots/superdrug/amazon mainly..I'm pretty sure I bought my dove shampoo and conditioner from Tesco..and for the quality it's so inexpensive..I haven't used another brand for months!
Although I'm not actually reviewing these products in particular in this post..please feel free to let me know if theres anything on here you'd like to see individually reviewed...or even shown how to use/what it is!

I am a MASSIVE fan of Rimmel, and I find for a high street brand their products always pay off..and off and off!
Their lipsticks have always been a favourite of mine and a side from the Kate Moss range, they are probably my favourite line of lipstick from the entire Rimmel collection.
The packaging is a fab deep and vibrant purple with the iconic Rimmel London crown on the top side; which always makes a change from the plain black which is a winner for me..
With regards to colour and colour pay off, this lipstick is completely fab! The colour is bright and pretty much a match to the swatch seen on the tube, and the name 'Colar Queen' is cute! Its a sheer, really moisturising texture that glides onto the lips..I really struggle to find lipsticks that don't dry out my lips, but I have to say this one is a winner! I tested it through out a whole day at school and found myself reapplying only twice, once after lunch and once after a cuppa..although I have to admit the rea-pplicated after my cuppa was just because it is a joy to put on..there was no need to reapply..so again, staying power is a winner! From boots the lipstick is an inexpensive £6.49..which as a budget beauty blogger is always a win for me!
This swatch is after a couple of swipes of the lipstick and I'm so glad the smooth and heavenly smooth consistency showed up on my hand to show you all! As you can see the colour is gorgeous and I feel it really suited my skin tone, and looks lovely with a hint of coral/peach blush, perfect for summer!
Pros: Long wearing
Gorgeous, silky application
Intense colour pay off
Non Drying
Inexpensive
Cons: Application can be a bit of a faf, the colour is quite strong once applied can I found it tended to smudge quite easily before it set onto my lips
Overall Rating: 8.5/10...I highly recommend!
