No7 Melting Gel Cleanser

Hi guys today I wanted to share with you my thoughts on a new product I have recently purchased  its the No7 Beautiful Skin Melting Gel Cleanser.
Its description
A refreshing gel that transforms into an oil as you massage into your skin, cleverly dissolving make up and impurities to help keep skin looking clear and healthy. It then transforms into a milk as you rinse clean leaving no residue just perfectly clean, supple skin. Sweet almond oil and glycerin are included in the formula to add moisture and ensure that the skin feels not only clean but incredibly soft. Hypo-allergenic.


 
 


How to Use
For Best Results: Gently massage the gel into your skin, avoiding the eye area, until it turns to oil. Adding warm water turns it into milk, which then means it's ready to be washed away.

My thoughts
I am very happy with this so far you can see the make up separating (melting ) off your face it does not dry out your skin and it feels very clean and fresh afterwards
It wont replace my Liz Earl cleanse and polish but its a good back up

Hope you guys enjoy that
C-ya soon xxx

Tip Thursday

Hi guys today is tip Thursday

Ever wonder why after curling your eyelashes for what feels like hours the minute you put mascara the curl seems to fall out as quick, well its really down to the type of mascara you use.
If your like me and your eyelashes  go straight out instead of up in a curl and it takes ages to curl  using a normal mascara which has water in it it works the same as pouring water on your freshly curled hair.

So the key is to use waterproof mascara no water mean no flat curl

weight loss wednesday

Hi guys this is week two of my weight loss tips tips that always helped me in my weight loss journey.

Tip #2

  

Weigh and Measure Yourself

Tracking your weight and measurements is essential to keep you focused to meet your target.

Try not to weigh and measure yourself every day, once a week is a good idea.

Weigh and measure yourself first thing in the morning and at the same time each week.

Try to weigh yourself on the same scales each time. If you don't have scales at home, you can weigh yourself at your local  Pharmacy or participating.

Hope that was helpful

Bio- Oil review

Hi Guys  today I wanted to talk to you about an amazing product which is Bio-Oil. This is an amazing multi- use product.
About five years ago I got burned using an at home wax kit that over heated and splashed up at me luckily nothing spilt on my face and I was lucky that I had a long sleeve top on that my arms were protected unfortunately my hand was not so lucky the pain was excruciating and in a moment of sheer pain/panic and fear I tried to rip off the wax but what I did way take off layers of skin too
Long story short I was left with this massive scar on my left hand.

When my hand started to heal I was recommend to use Bio-Oil to Improve the appearance and it Improved but being the flake that I am I wasn't vigilant about putting it on and you really have to put it on twice a day for at least 3 months but I have seen people that have been vigilant  about using it non stop and it is amazing the difference it has made. However I have a new bottle now and am going to be using it again.
Plus it will be an amazing help for my  skin in the winter months when skin tends to dry out.
If you havent tried it out please do you wont be sorry!

Tip Thursday!

Hey Guys
Do you know  if your cool-toned or warm-toned, look at the veins on your wrist. If they are blue-ish, you are cool-toned. If they are green-ish, you are warm-toned!

Knowing your skin tone can help with choosing which makeup colours suit you best!

Which are you?
