HASK

BLUE CHAMOMILE & ARGAN OIL

5-in 1 LEAVE-IN SPRAY

I thought I had written a review about this leave-In hair product several years ago,

but it seems that I didn't, so here is a quick mini review, as it's an affordable

 hair product that I keep gravitating back to, especially when my hair 

was quite blond back in 2017.

Having just finished yet another, it's already on my weekly shopping list.

Having long highlighted hair it ticks all the boxes in order to protect 

my hair from heat damage and breakage.

1. Moisturizes & conditions

2. Provides thermal protection

3. Controls frizz and detangles

4. Adds shine

5. Prevents breakage & repairs dry hair

Free of: sulfates, parabens, phthalates, gluten, drying alcohol and artificial colors.It can be used on both dry and wet hair and is a no rinse leave in product, it doesn't weigh your hair down either. 

Available from Clicks countrywide

ELEMIS

PRO-COLLAGEN

ADVANCED

EYE TREATMENT

I've been absolutely amazed at how long this ELEMIS eye treatment has lasted me

despite my initial review reservations re the nozzle and whilst I have a couple 

more applications left in the container, I should by now,

be seriously considering which nightly eye treatment I should try next.

Whilst I've enjoyed the ELEMIS I do enjoy discovering and trying

new products.

I have used eye products, daily since I was in my early 20's, yet I still come

across many people that either don't use eye creams or believe they don't work

and all I can say on this matter is 

"Thank Goodness"

 as I've included them in my daily beauty regime for nearly 40 years and the thought

of skipping this step fills me with dread!

URBAN DECAY

HI-FI LIPGLOSS

Sadly this lipgloss came to an end during Lockdown and I have missed it

not being in the bottom of my handbag, ready for quick application during the day.

Then just like Magic an URBAN DECAY 50% OFF SALE popped up and this was

on the top of my re-purchase list.

If you would like to know what I bought on the UD sale then check out my

ELEMIS PRO COLLAGEN ADVANCED EYE TREATMENT {REVIEW}

The #1 British skincare brand Elemis, for me, conjures up a vision of

Luxurious premium face and body products used in some of the most beautiful and exquisite salons and hotel Spas around the world.

It's also a brand that I've never really used before, other than a massage oil many years

ago, but recently I received three products that were gifted and not by the brand.

My eye area has always been an area of concern, so I'm always willing

to spend and try new eye products that speak to me and everything on the front of this

box piqued my interest.

Elemis

Pro-Collagen 

Advanced Eye Treatment

This anti-ageing eye serum forms part of a much wider range of Pro-Collagen products that ELEMIS have on offer and upon further investigation I discovered ELEMIS have an extensive collection of eye products including an eye mask, which I have bought and will

be including in my November reviews.

This advanced eye treatment targets the fine lines and wrinkles around the delicate eye area, smoothing skin for a more youthful appearance. 

Formulated with protein rich actives and a super active Padina Pavonica 

and Blue Flower Linseed that help tone and firm, whilst a sophisticated Amino Acid complex attracts and locks moisture deep into the skin. 

The combination of exceptional moisturisation and regeneration supports fragile skin without overloading it.

This fragrance free, weightless gel feels comfortable on the skin and it is lightweight and you can hardly tell that you have any product around the eye.

This anti-ageing eye serum is ideal for 30's + and can be used both morning and evening, however for my age I would recommend this product to be used daily in the morning and then I personally would use a heavier more active anti-ageing eye serum at night.

Unfortunately I was somewhat underwhelmed with this product for the first few weeks

of use and I was dreading writing this review, however I have done a full 180 on my

opinions, which again confirms that with most skincare products you have to give the product a good 8 weeks before forming a fair review and as you know I often only write my reviews after 12 weeks of daily use.

Initially I felt this product was one of those ineffective, notice no difference, type of eye products, I persevered and I started to notice, not with the deep lines, but with the fine lines, as they became way softer and without doubt, the skin under the eye took on a smoother appearance.

My only criticism of this product- is the nozzle - don't depress fully as you will dispense way too much product and it's not easy to slightly press it down, so I do feel that over the weeks I have wasted product.

Whilst I would recommend this eye product I personally wouldn't buy another,

as ELEMIS have so many other wonderful eye products that I would rather opt to

try something different.

Talking of something different I now have 6 ELEMIS products in my possession,

so expect more reviews in the future and as always they will be honest and properly

tested.
