Samples Review

Just thought I would share with you a few of the samples I have used over the past couple of months. Samples are such a great way to get a feel for the product before buying, you can often use testers in the shops but having a sample at home means you can really use products how you want a get a real feel for them and how they will work for you.


First up, Nivea Anti Age! This felt really silky on my skin and has added bonus of spf 15. It absorbed quite slowly which isn't ideal with a face moisturiser, you want it to sink in you you can get on with your day, my skin still felt sticky for 5 mins afterwards. In terms of anti-wrinkle benefits, you can't tell from one try! It smelt really nice and fresh...but I got some in my mouth and it tasted gross!
Available here for £14.99


Garner Ultra Lift moisturiser was thin, light and quickly absorbed in to my skin. There was no smell which was a bit disappointing. You only need a small amount if product so will last a long time.
Available here for £9.99


Nivea Soft felt fresh and clean and it asorbs quickly it to your skin. It's a versatile moisturiser, and at a bargain price think I may get one to keep in the car for emergencies and after being out in cold weather
Available here for £4.28!


Clinique Super Primer felt more like moisturiser than other primers I'm used to as it was thick and white. It sat nicely on the skin with a silky texture and had no fragrance. For a premium skin care band I don't think this is too pricey, sample provided 1ml and was more that enough for my face and neck.
Available here for £20 for 30ml

Has anyone else tried any of these products? What do you reckon?

Cor Balmy!

Since being on roaccutane a couple of year ago, and spending a lot of time outside, I'm never with out some kind of lip balm! I recently bought 2 of the Barry M Cor Balmy moisturising lip salves as an edition to my handbag essentials.

I chose the red Jam Jar colour and orangey-red Trouble and Strife.







You can see the colour around the outside and white moisturising center. The red Jam Jar colour comes out quite bright and shows up well on your lips, where Trouble and Strife is more subtle and translucent. Theyr both have great softening and conditioning qualities and smell delicious- like sweeties! During work I don't tend to wear much make up, if any, so these tinted balms make it look as if I have made some kind of effort with my face! I am official sold on them and they will remain in my hand bag for a long time yet!
