Unboxing - Latest in Beauty August 2017

Time for another Latest in Beauty box!
This time I opted for the six piece subscription - aka The Beauty Enthusiast for £15.00 per month (includes shipping).
 
 
Latest in Beauty introduce a new product every day and recently there have been some fantastic products. Here's what I chose for my six items:
* 111Skin - Bio Cellulose Facial Treatment Mask. I chose this in my last box and it was such an amazing mask that this was my first choice out of my six picks this time too. The value of this mask alone (5 for £85!!) more than covers the entire cost of this month's box.
* Andalou Naturals - Instant Lift & Firm Sheet Mask
* Andalou Naturals - Instant Brighten & Tighten Sheet Mask
This is a brand I've seen mentioned quite a lot but haven't tried any of their products yet. More than happy for this to be a sheet-mask heavy box this month.
* Elemis - Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm
I have come to realise that I definitely favour cleansing balms over oils or cream cleansers and this is another product that has heavy social media presence.
* Origins - Plantscription Anti-aging Power Serum
Yet another brand I've been interested in trying. I do love a good serum and it's an area in my skincare routine which I don't feel like I fully understand or appreciate yet.
* Kneipp - Devil's Claw Herbal Bath Back Comfort
I've been hovering over this product ever since I came across Latest in Beauty and this time I finally picked it up. My husband (poor old dear) gets a lot of aches and pains in his back, so this one is for him.
 
Also some freebies:
* Dentyl Active Mouth Wash
* Philosophy - Amazing Grace eau de toilette
Not sure how I feel about this scent - it's a very sharp hit on first application. A bit too bathroom cleaner-ish for me.
* Philosophy - Purity3 in 1 Cleanser

Review: Terre Verdi - Orange Coffee Cleansing Mask

Image
Terre Verdi - Orange Coffee Cleansing Mask £26 for 50g * This item was a PR Sample given to me in return for an honest review. What is it? A clay powder cleansing mask to rejuvenate and purify the skin. Organic coffee and cocoa are anti-inflammatory, de-toxifying and full of antioxidants. How to use Mix a small amount of the clay mask with floral water (I also like to add a drop of Terre Verdi's FranChouliPom serum into the mix) and mix to a soft paste. The end results looks like a creamy but thick Cafe Latte! Ingredients Moroccan lava (Ghassoul) clay, kaolin clay, zea mays (corn) starch*, coffea arabica seed (ground coffee)*, theobroma cacao (cocoa) powder*, tocopherol (vitamin E), citrus sinensis (sweet orange) peel oil*, citral**, limonene**, linalool** * denotes organic ingredient ** occurring naturally in essential oils Thoughts First thought? Oh wow! That scent! This is beyond doubt the most deliciously scented face mask I have EVER had the joy to try! It'...

Alternatives to The Ordinary Products - Niacinamide

Image
If you're an Instagram user then it will have been nigh on impossible for you not to have noticed all the drama surrounding Deciem CEO Brandon Truaxe's bizarre Instagram posts. It all seemed to kick off quite quickly ( I won't go into it too much here) with him posting, at first, passive posts where everything was 'peaceful and loving' and quickly degenerated into pretty hateful comments directed at other users who questioned his behaviour. He even started to highlight certain comments he'd made on his Instagram stories, where he seemed quite pleased with his snarky, and sometimes downright abusive replies to certain comments. It was uncomfortable viewing from the off - but then it became so bad that for me personally, I could no longer try and turn a blind eye to the way he made the whole Deciem brand feel pretty toxic. I'm guessing I tried to ignore it for a while as I was a great fan of most Deciem products - particularly those from The Ordinary br...

Bielenda - Dr Medica Capillaries Serum Review

Image
  Bielenda Dr Medica Capillaries Serum - 30 ml for £4.99 BUY HERE     Earlier this year I noticed that I appeared to have quite a few broken capillaries - particularly on my nose but also some on my cheeks and chin.   A quick google for treatment and skincare products for broken capillaries and the Bielenda Dr Medica Capillaries serum looked most favourable (and best value!).    I was pretty happy to find out about Bielenda products through this serum - they have a huge range of skin and bodycare products with some fantastic ingredients. The Bielenda Professional range is particularly exciting! I buy my Bielenda products from Clamanti  - there are actually more products in this Capillaries range including micellar water and capillaries cream. Ingredients that help with Redness - Broken Capillaries, Rosacea, Sensitive Red Skin There are so many products on the market that can address redness - here are some of the natural ingredi...
