July Empties 2013

My monthly round up of all the products i have used and enjoyed and dislike during the month of July.

WEI Gingko Leaf repairing face treatment:

This was a sample that i received with my order from Space Nk, i first thought i was charged for another item cause it was huge. I tried it on Sunday when i normally my facial treatments. I was really weird because it was an unusual feeling it was cooling but then it had a tingling sensation. I would give it   a 8 out of 10 i really liked it was refreshing and my face felt toned.

I would buy this product

Bio Oil:

My mother gave this to me to try, i used it as a facial oil at night time. It wasn't heavy feeling and it sank into the skin quite quickly. I used it mainly for the benefit of evening my skin tone as that's one of its properties. it deserves a 7 out of 10, my skin tone looked brighter, and very moisturised i just think i need to used it more than a month to see the complete difference.

I would buy this product again

Body Shop Vitamin E Face Mist:

A lovely friend gave me this product as he knows i love facial mists, I've always been intrigued by Body Shop products and have tried some in the past but this is a favourite. It hydrates my skin while toning and refreshing it. 10 out of 10 i love it love it

Yes Yes Yes buying it again

Body Shop Vitamin E moisture cream (sample size):

Short ans simple, very moisturising and make my skin lovely and soft. 10 out of 10

I would buy this product

Garnier Simply Essentials Soothing Eye Make-up Remover:

Doesn't sting eyes and removes my eye make-up within 10 seconds (each eye), takes a little bit longer with the waterproof but i don't mind i still love it. 10 out of 10

I would buy this product again

Elasta QP DPR - 11+:

I cannot explain my love for this one product for my hair, it make it so soft and lovely, you need to buy this if your hair is on the drier side. I use it as a deep conditioning treatment every week without fail one bottle lasts me a month and a mix it with other oils. 10 out of 10

I would buy this product again

Skin Care Routine ✮

So the best thing to get flawless looking skin is to make sure you have a good skin care routine. You must make sure you are using the right products for you skin type. I personal have normal skin and   was very blessed but that doesn't mean I'm out of the woods, i have to take extra care cause i didn't want it to change. 

Looking back to my younger teen years, i really did bypass all of the most teenage skin concerns; spots, blackheads, acne, uneven skin texture and so on. The only two things that i suffered was hyper-pigmentation (not using sun creams ) and congestion around the t- zone area (not exfoliating properly). When i started to become older i new that i needed to take care of my skin more as people are paying £1000 to look younger. So i started to invest more into my skin and found out what it likes, didn't and loves.

Soo on to the routine.....

Night time Routine :

I first remove my eye make-up with Garnier simply essentials eye makeup remover with a cotton pad (hold it on the eye for 3-5 seconds the wipe away). Next i pre -cleanse with No7 beautiful skin cleansing water with Kleenex facial cloths (love theses things) after that i use my N-spa hot cloth polish (2 pumps) the first pump i use to remove the rest of my make-up and the second for a deep massage (really nice and relaxing). Lastly i finish up by toning my skin with Body shop vitamin e face mist and moisturise with Body shop vitamin e night cream.

Morning Routine:

I'm not a very good morning person and love get as much time in bed so the routine has to be fairly simple and quick. With a quick wipe over with the No7  cleansing water all over the face then a quick spritz of Mac Fix + i just love the smell for the morning time fresh and clean. Lastly my new moisturiser for garnier, i had a sample of it and was literally squeezing every last bit i had to purchase it.

And thats about it, i don't prime just straight with the BB cream, concealer, blush, brows and not forgetting the lipstick and i'm off.

Thanks for reading and hope it helped :)

Afro Hair and Beauty Live 2013

Woooooo, hello people I recently got back from Afro Hair and Beauty and I can really say getting up at 6:30 in the morning paid off cause I'm so excited and please with all the things I received and got.

Anyways we got to the event a little early and had to wait till the doors opened but that gave us good time to reflect on what we might see and who was going to attend. We got given O2 tote bags with free international SIM cards I was happy to receive the bag so I could put my converse in, cause the body shop bag wasn't cutting it.

ORS BLOGGER LONGUE
Here I got to talk to the lovely Stacey i wish I managed to take a picture of her cause she was stunning, I had to first fill out some paper work then she pulled out some products to explain to me. She first mentioned that Organic Root Stimulator had change to the name 'ORS' or 'THE ONE' and they had changed their packaging but the product inside was still the same.

Then the two new product line 'ORS FOR GIRS' and the 'THE HAIR REPAIR' line catering for the younger types of hair and hair that's near damage point that needs more help. She really went into depth about the two lines and there ingredients. One thing she did mention was the the ORS for girls shampoo did contain sulphate but it was very low quantities so it shouldn't be bad for the hair. The Hair Repair Line didn't contain no sulphates or parabens which was good.

Lastly I filled out the rest of the form just about how the talk was and any feedback, she asked if I had any questions, she also said she wants to try and hold a bloggers event where it's really relaxed all the  bloggers come down and try and test products and feature on each others blogs which is cool.

Then she gave a goody bag with products to test and review for you guys :)

Here is the Vlog I filmed of the event. Hope you enjoy :)
