THE BODY SHOP PINITA COLADA RANGE

I am a big fan of Pina Colada's in general, it's my favourite holiday cocktail and just reminds me of good times in the sun. When I saw that a new summer range was coming to The Body Shop in a coconut/pineapple scent I knew I would want to try EVERYTHING! I must admit I didn't try anything from the Virgin Mojito range last year but I love the original coconut scent from The Body Shop, so I knew this cocktail range would be a winner. I love coconut scented beauty products, especially Hawaiian Tropic Sun cream and various brands of shampoo and conditioner as they just remind me of Summer. The Pinita Colada collection consists of a body butter, a body scrub, a shower gel, a body sorbet and even an essentials set which would be a fantastic gift for a summer birthday.
My favourite product from the range has to be the Body Sorbet. The sorbets are lighter than a moisturiser but provide your skin with plenty of hydration. The product is lightweight and sinks straight into the skin. The formula is cooling on the skin so would work well as an aftersun and could be put into the fridge as I do on holidays to cool down. Unlike other sorbets I have tried,this scent has pineapple and coconut extracts from the caribbean in the formulation, so it is a bit of a strange texture to apply, but I can't get enough of the sweet, fruity scent.
The Pinita Colada Gift Essentials Set includes a full-size body butter, a full-size body scrub, a mini shower gel and a yellow bath lily. As the products range from £5-£15, it worked out better for me to buy the gift set, as I wanted to try every product in the range. Everything came in this gorgeous multicoloured 'Hola Happy Hour' box which I will definitely be keeping. I love the packaging of this range, the ombre colours are so summery.
I really like to layer up the scent, by using the products in the shower and then coming out of the shower and using the sorbet or body butter afterwards. The Body Scrub is a gentle exfoliator which is blended with real shredded coconut. This is a great product to get Summer ready skin. I like that it's creamy like a Pina Colada so it's not harsh on the skin at all. I like to use this once a week and follow up with the shower gel. The Body Butter is sunshine in a tub. The formula is thick but still lightweight on the skin. It definitely hydrates skin for longer than the quick fix body sorbet and is great for any extra dry places. The Body Shop body butters are always a winner in my eyes, but I think this one might just over take my beloved Satsuma scent. I've even used the Shower Gel as a bubble bath as it foams up nicely. You only need to use a small amount on a bath lily, as a little goes a long way. I'm so sad this scent is limited edition, I would buy it all year round! Looks like I might have to stock up so I'm not without it, especially the sorbet! Try it for yourself, I don't think you'd be disappointed.

NEW YEAR BEAUTY PRODUCT EMPTIES

It's a new year and I think most people feel the need to declutter and get rid of things they don't need. Whether this is downsizing your wardrobe or finishing half used beauty products that have been hanging around your bathroom. These are some of the products I have finished recently.
The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter, 90ml £13.00 - This has to be one of the stand out products from The Body Shop for a while. I really enjoyed using this up, it’s super moisturising on the skin and takes every little bit of make-up off. It’s not harsh around the eye area and you only need a little piece to clean your whole face. It's really gentle on my skin and has quite a subtle scent, so it's not overpowering at all. Would I repurchase? Yes, I’m currently using the cleansing oil in my shower from the same range.

Liz Earle Limited Edition Orange Flower & Chamomile Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, 150ml  - Cleanse and Polish is my go to cleanser, if my skin is playing up I know I can rely on this to help it get back to normal. I try and purchase the limited edition scents to mix up my usual skincare routine. I use this most days as it’s moisturising on the skin and dissolves make-up straight away. It's suitable for all skin types and age ranges, so I can see myself using this product for a while. Would I repurchase? Always, I have to have a backup in my stash. See my full review on the scent here.

John Frieda Beach Blonde Cool Dip Purifying Shampoo & Smooth Seas Detangling Conditioner, 250ml £5.89 each  - I was excited to see a hair care duo suited to my hair type in Boots. I liked the minty fresh scent which felt cooling on my scalp. I wouldn’t say these did something special for my hair, but they’re great to use for everyday use. The shampoo is lightweight, adds texture and increases manageability and shine. Would I repurchase? Yes, if the products were on offer like they are now.

Batiste Stylist Texture Me Texturizing Spray, 200ml £4.49 – I’m really into using a texturizing spray when styling my hair, so when I saw the new styling products from Batiste I had to give this one a try. I like using this to add a bit more volume and grit into the lengths of my hair. You can build it up in the hair to create different styles for different occasions. It doesn’t feel sticky at all, but I do have to top it up to make it last in my hair to separate my layers. The product is infused with Keratin & Inca Inchi oil to help strengthen your hair. Would I repurchase? Yes, I wish they did a mini size so I could fit it in my handbag.

Soap & Glory Orangeasm Body Wash, 500ml £6.50 – This is one of my favourite shower gels, saying that I’m a big fan of all Soap & Glory shower gels. I like the fresh green mandarin, sicilian lemon and sweet orange peel oils, as it’s so refreshing and wakes you up in the morning. It’s moisturising on my skin and foams up nicely. You can also layer the scent with the other Orange scented products in the range. I've said it before, I love the large pump bottles, I wish Lush products came in these. Would I repurchase? Yes, I always have a Soap & Glory body wash in my shower. See my full review on the Orangeasm range here.

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Butter 50ml, Irrisistibubble Gift Set £5.00 – I received this deluxe sample sized product in a gift set, another one of the delicious scents from Soap & Glory. I like the texture of this moisturiser, it sinks into my skin as it’s nice and light and great to use in the Summer months. The moisturiser contains Shea butter and Cocoa Nut Balm so it's really soothing on the skin. Would I repurchase? Yes, love this scent in Summer.

Dove Compressed Original Anti-Perspirant, 75ml £2.99 – I normally use Mitchum deodorant, but these compressed deodorants are great to take on holiday with me. Dove have re-engineered the spray system thus reducing the amount of gas needed to deliver the same level of antiperspirant ingredient with each spray. Would I repurchase? Yes, I would buy again if I was taking it away with me.

Colab Sheer & Invisible Dry Shampoo in Rio, 50ml £2.00 – I think I received this product in a beauty box. I really like the Batiste dry shampoo in the tropical scent so I knew I was going to like this Rio scent, it has notes of papaya, pineapple and a heart of cassis. It really helps to absorb oil and refreshes roots, it feels lightweight in my hair and I like that it leaves no residue. Would I repurchase? Yes, I need to try some of the other scents.

This Works Clean Skin 5 in 1 Water, 200ml £21.00 - I haven't tried many products from This Works, but the ones I have I've really enjoyed. I like to use a micellar water to take the bulk of my make-up off before cleansing with a hot cloth. This rosewater cleanser removes make-up, decongests and brightens the skin. I would say it's not great around the eye area, but it doesn't dry my skin out as it's refreshing and boosts elasticity. Would I repurchase? Maybe, it is quite pricey compared to Bioderma which does practically the same job.

Aussie Shower Smoothie Shower Gel, 250ml £2.99 – I’m a huge fan of the Aussie hair line, so when I saw they were releasing body washes I knew I wanted to give one a try. This scent is super sweet, similar to their Miracle Moist hair care line which I love. It contains Australian Macadamia nut oil which leaves skin smooth and silky. I would prefer a pump bottle as it's so much easier to use in the shower, but I can't fault the product. Would I repurchase? Yes, I would like to try the other scents.

PERFECT PAMPER PRODUCTS - BATH TIME

My favourite way to pamper myself is to take a bubble bath after a busy day. So I light a few candles, use a bath bomb or bath melt and read my kindle or a magazine. I find this the perfect way to relax and have a bit of me time. I am currently reading Pieces of You By Ella Harper on my kindle - really enjoying it so far. My candle of choice is the Champneys Mediterranean Bliss which makes you feel like your at a spa, when actually your in the comfort of your own home. I also love these cute Bath Mallows and Bath Tulips from Bomb Cosmetics.
The Body Shop Honeymania Bubble Bath Melt, 300ml £8.00 - I take more baths than showers and this product helps to enhance that experience. I love that the product comes in a tub rather than a bottle. It does mean you have to scoop the product out though, making you use more of the product than you actually need. The scent is heavenly and the formula creates so many bubbles which moisturise my skin at the same time. This has to be one of my favourite products from the Honeymania range, it's so luxurious, creamy and has a rich floral scent. This helps me relax and leaves my skin feeling super soft.
Aromatherapy Associates Revive Evening Bath Oil, 55ml £40.00 - When I don't want so many bubbles but still want the relaxing scent I like to use a bath oil. I only like to use this on special pamper evenings when I've got time to enjoy the product. You only have to use a tiny amount but the scent fills the whole room. This is a treat product but it re-energises your body and a little goes a long way.
Ren ClearCalm 3 Clarity Restoring Mask, 50ml £30.00 - This is a product which I like to apply while I'm in the bath. This is great for clearing up blemish prone skin. I like to cleanse skin, apply this and leave it on for 15 minutes. I like to use this once a week when my skin is feeling more congested. It soothes, calms, reduces the size of pores and gets rid of redness. It's great if you have oily or combination skin, the formula is thick and creamy and you can see a difference instantly. I recommend Ren products to anyone.
Rituals Sweet Orange & Cedar Fortune Scrub, 150ml £10.00 - I got this product free with a magazine a while ago and instantly fell in love with the uplifting scent. It's a lovely product to use on legs for silky smooth skin. The formulation is a scrub and cream in one, so it's not harsh on the skin and it moisturises at the same time. I would definitely try a different scent when this one runs out.
Soap & Glory Orangeasm Body Butter, 300ml £10.00 - I have loved orange scented products recently. I just used up the body wash from the same line and couldn't get enough of the scent. The formula is thick and creamy and contains orange beads which melt into the skin. This is a great product to use on dry skin and perfect for the colder months coming. The fresh scent lingers around for hours on the skin, I like to apply this straight out of the bath in the evening. Soap and Glory will always be my number one for body care, read more about my thoughts here.
Soap & Glory Heel Genius Foot Cream, 125ml £5.50 - Another Soap & Glory product which I love. I have gone through so many tubes of this, the product is so effective. When my feet are in need of some love I like to apply this before I go to sleep and I wake up with super soft feet. If my feet are feeling dry or worn out I apply socks over the cream for a more intense treat.

THE BODY SHOP HAUL - WILD ARGAN OIL RANGE

I recently went online and bought a few bits from The Body Shop. I was interested in trying the new Wild Argan Oil collection and of course there were a few discount codes floating around to grab a bargain. Everything I bought was new to me and I have been wanted to try most of the products for a while now. I picked up the Bubbling Bath £8.00 and the Miracle Solid Oil for Body & Hair £8.00 from the Wild Argan Oil collection, I hadn't smelt this scent instore but after hearing great things from lots of bloggers I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. I'm currently using the Honeymania Bath Melt which is so luxurious, but I'm getting a bit low on that, so I bought the Argan Oil version to replace that. This helps to calm and soften skin, open the pores and prepare it for treatment. The oil can be used on the body or hair and any dry patches that might need some love. I'm looking forward to trying more from this range. I then picked up the Early-Harvest Raspberry Body Butter £13.00, this smells lovely and fruity, as every Body Shop Butter does. I love the Satsuma version of this and I go through these tubs like there's no tomorrow. Talking of Satsuma, I purchased the new Satsuma Body Sorbet £8.00 which is a light, cooling body moisturiser. I can't get enough of the scent and it instantly melts into the skin for 24 hours of hydration. The last product I picked up is the newest member of the Vitamin E range, the Vitamin E Aqua Boost Sorbet £12.00. The product is an ultra-light formula which hydrates and refreshes skin. It's enriched with wheatgerm oil to quench skin's thirst.

The Body Shop are currently offering £10 off when you spend £25 online with the promotional code - splash.

CURRENT SKINCARE FAVOURITES

As well as my usual routines, I have been adding various products that have been improving the appearance of my skin. These are a few of my current favourites which have made the cut.

Origins Ginzing Refreshing Scrub Cleanser, 150ml £18.50 – I have really been enjoying the Ginzing range recently. I like to use this in the mornings to awaken the skin and gently exfoliate for fresher looking skin. It’s great as a cleanser and a mild daily exfoliate. I really like the citrus scent and the formula lathers up nicely. Read more of my thoughts here.

Indeed Labs Facial Powered Exfoliator, 75g £18.99 – This exfoliator is very different to anything I have used before. It comes in a powder formula which you mix with water. It helps to make my skin smooth but it’s really gentle at the same time. It claims to help prevent wrinkles, heal blemishes and absorb dirt and oil from pores as well as moisturise.

The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil, 200ml £10.00 – I like to use this product before using a balm cleanser. It helps to remove make-up and leaves skin feeling clean and refreshed. It’s not overly oily and the scent is really calming for evening cleansing. It’s great at breaking down make-up and I love the easy to use pump bottle.

GlamGlow Mud Mask, 50g £39.99 – This has to be my favourite face mask at the moment. I like to see that a product is instantly working and with this you can. It contains volcanic minerals and French sea clay which helps to awaken skin, reduce puffiness, under-eye circles and smooth fine lines. As well as reducing pore size and balancing oil levels. There’s not much this mask doesn't do. You leave it on for 10 minutes, it will tingle and exfoliate but it leaves your skin glowing in 10 minutes and is perfect for all skin types.

Liz Earle Eyebright Soothing Eye Lotion, 150ml £10.75 – Another product I like to use in the morning. I like to apply it on to a cotton pad and smooth over tired eyes to awaken them. I also like to use this when doing a face mask, I soak two cotton pads and leave them over the eye area, it really soothes and depuffs and I feel immediately refreshed. It contains witch hazel, aloe vera and cornflower to cleanse and tone. It is also effective to calm down hay fever.

SUMMER BODY CARE BEAUTY PRODUCT EMPTIES

The Body Shop Satsuma Body Butter £13.00 200ml – I always have some sort of thick body butter on the go, and The Body Shop butters are a classic formulation, which I go back to again and again. This scent is so good; I just opened the packaging and have wondered why I haven’t managed to repurchase this yet. If you haven’t smelt this yet, you have to go try it. Would I repurchase? Yes I love their formulations; I really want to try the Early-Harvest Raspberry one next.

Treacle Moon Those Lemonade Days Hand Soap £2.49 500ml – I’m not really fussed when it comes to hand soap, but I do have a favourite - the Soap & Glory one (review below.) This was nice, the scent really did smell like lemonade, but I wouldn’t run straight out to buy it again. Would I repurchase? Probably not as I like to change this up.

Soap & Glory Heels Genius Foot Cream £5.50 125ml – This product is a Holy Grail cream, I always have a backup handy of this in my beauty drawers. I apply this most evenings and it leaves my feet, especially my heels, softer and smoother. If my feet have had an extra hard day, I like to apply this and then put socks on, leaving them on whilst I sleep and in the morning that rough feeling has disappeared. I feel this foot cream is really affordable and haven’t really wanted to try anything else. Would I repurchase? Yes, always.

Make Believe Self Tan Lotion £24.50 200ml – This product always brings back nice memories because of the scent. It’s not as ‘biscuity’ as other Self-Tanners I have tried and just reminds me of that holiday summer scent. I’m not a big tanner, but when I do this gives my fair skin a nice colour and I don’t find it streaky at all. Would I repurchase? Yes, although I’m currently using a St.Tropez tanner.

Soap & Glory Smoothie Star Body Milk £10.00 500ml – This has to be my favourite Soap & Glory scent, the same as the Breakfast Scrub and Rich and Foamous body wash of oats, yoghurt and honey. I love the ease of this brand, the size of the bottle is amazing for the price and the pump makes me more likely to use it regularly. I like to use this straight out of the shower as it contains cocoa butter, Shea butter and coconut oil to nourish the skin. This product also comes in a buttercream form. Would I repurchase? Yes, I already have - read more here.

Soap & Glory Rich & Foamous Body Wash £6.50 500ml – Like I said this is my favourite Soap & Glory scent; I have reviewed this on my blog here. I love the sweet almond scent which lingers in the bathroom and on the skin for hours after taking a bath. The texture of the formulation is light and moisturising on the skin. It also works really well with the body milk and you can layer up scents. Would I repurchase? Yes this has to be my favourite body wash of the moment.

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Wash £6.50 500ml – Another Soap & Glory scent which I love, I think I prefer this scent as a scrub, but it was still nice for a change. Again, all S&G body washes give moisture as well as making you smell amazing. Would I repurchase? I will continue to buy S&G body wash, I am currently using the Orangeasm scent. (Can you tell I like Soap & Glory?!)

Origins Ginger Burst Body Wash £19.00 200ml – I got given this product in a gift set as a present and completely fell in love with the scent. I really enjoy using Origins skincare, so this was my first taste into the body care range and I wasn’t disappointed.  I used this sparingly as my special occasion shower gel, as it’s too good to use every day. This body wash was really moisturising and lathered up on the skin really well. Would I repurchase? Yes, I’m in love with the scent.

Ayuuri Natural Coconut Body Wash £4.95 200ml – I received this product in one of my beauty boxes, Glossybox I think. I’m a big fan of anything Coconut scented and I really liked using this. I do admit I don’t go out of my way to purchase organic or natural products, but I will definitely look out for more as I enjoyed this as much as my usual picks. Would I repurchase? Yes if it was more accessible in the shops I go in.

Original Source Vanilla and Raspberry Shower Gel £2.30 250ml – This was just a basic shower gel I bought from the supermarket when I had run out of everything else. The scent was nice but I didn’t find it anything special. I must have been collecting these empties up for a while as I have tonnes of body wash bottles. Would I repurchase? Probably not, as I love buying Soap & Glory pump bottles.

Soap & Glory Scrub ‘Em and Leave ‘Em Body Buff £2.50 50ml – This is a little mini travel sized product I took on holiday with me. The scrub is abrasive enough to look after dry areas and leave me with smooth, supple skin. I like to use this in the shower and the scent is lovely. Would I repurchase? Yes I would buy the full-sized product.

Anatomicals Don’t Just Clean It Woman, Scrub It Body Scrub £3.49 200ml – This was another product I received in a Beauty box. I have tried Anatomicals products before, and I wasn’t blown away with the results. I think they are average for the price, but wouldn’t go out of my way to buy them again. The scrub smelt really fruity, but the scrub just wasn’t enough for me. Would I repurchase? No I didn’t get on with it.

I Love… Coconut & Cream Exfoliating Shower Smoothie £2.99 200ml - This product is another Supermarket purchase. The grains of scrub are quite sparse and I found it to be more of a shower gel to moisturise than to exfoliate. I really like the scent though and have also got the bubble bath. Would I repurchase? No, I like a more abrasive scrub.

Soap & Glory Wash Your Hands of It Hand Soap £5.00 250ml – This is the hand soap I go back to again and again. I always buy it as part of a 3 for 2, the scent is lovely and the product does what it says on the bottle. I received a gift set for Christmas which came with the accompanying hand lotion, which I also enjoy. Would I repurchase? Yes, I always make sure I have one  in my stock.

& Other Stories Fig Fiction Body Scrub £7.00 250ml – I really enjoyed using this product, this was my first taste of using the brand and I have gone on to buy more. I couldn’t get enough of the scent and the scrub did wonders to my skin. The only issue I have with it is that it’s very difficult to use in the bath and would work more cost effective in a squeeze tube. I really do like the whole look of & Other Stories packaging though. Would I repurchase? Yes, I have repurchased in a different scent.

FEBRUARY BEAUTY PRODUCT EMPTIES 2013

Another empties post for you this month, I have really been enjoying using products up. I like to do my research on products before I buy them, so I'm rarely disappointed with the results of my spending. It seems this post contains lots of affordable hair care items that need to go back on my repurchase list...
V05 Hot Oil Moisture Soak Elixir, 75ml £4.29 - I can't get enough of this product! You simply apply it before washing your hair and leave it on for up to one minute. On the side of the bottle there are indicators for how much to use, (up to 5 treatments.) This is great for dry/damaged hair as it reconstructs rebellious hair and you can notice the difference from first use. Would I repurchase? Yes, I need to stock up. 
The Body Shop Banana Shampoo and Conditioner, 250ml £4.50 each - I bought this shampoo and conditioner mainly because of the scent, it smells good enough to eat! But after a few washes, I was really impressed with the condition of my hair. They left my blonde hair feeling silky and really helped to boost my highlights. Would I repurchase? I don't tend to buy many products from The Body Shop but I would definitely buy these again and maybe I will look into other hair products from them. 
Organix Coconut Milk Conditioner, Full size 384.5ml £5.99 - Another product bought because of the scent.This product contains coconut milk and whipped egg white proteins that help to add strength and elasticity to the hair. The product is thick and creamy, but it didn't leave my hair weighing down at all, which I was surprised about! Would I repurchase? Yes, I am currently using the shampoo and conditioner in my shower.

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter Body Butter, 300ml £10.50 - This is one of my holy grail products, I always have a tub of this stashed away for days when my dry skin is crying out for attention. The product has the 'Original Pink' scent which everyone loves and it soaks into the skin like a dream. Would I repurchase? Yes, but I am currently using Smoothie Star Body Milk from Soap & Glory. 
Soap & Glory Flake Away Body Scrub, Full size 300ml £7.00 - I received this product in a Christmas gift set. I hadn't really been bothered about this product before, again it has the same 'Original Pink' fragrance. But I loved using this little tub up, the product isn't as harsh as other scrubs in the range. The mini sizes are great for travel! Would I repurchase? Yes, I need to get my hands on a big tub of this.
Clarisonic Sensitive Brush Head £21.00 - This product came with my Clarisonic Mia. I was impressed with this brush at the start, but after using the Deep pore brush head on my skin I have been converted to that one. But I do think this brush is great for starting out and getting your skin used to the Clarisonic. Would I repurchase? No, my skin is enjoying the Deep pore brush so I'm going to stick with that.

Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream, Full size 15ml £20.00 - I received these samples in a magazine and a Glossybox. This is probably the first eye cream I have enjoyed using in a long time. I loved using it within my skincare routine, it was really gentle on my skin and helped to sooth and brighten the area any time I had tired eyes. Would I repurchase? Yes, after I have used some of my other products in my stash I would definitely go back to this one.
Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Intensive Mask, 200ml £2.50 - This is a product I repurchase if it's on offer as I know my hair loves the stuff! Of course it has a yummy coconut scent, but this affordable treatment really helps dry/damaged hair transform into healthy, manageable hair especially at the tips! Would I repurchase? Yes.
Lush The Olive Branch Shower Gel, 100g £4.45 - This is also a product I received in a gift set, I don't think I would have purchased it myself separately. I did like the scent of this, it is quite a mature, mediterranean scent. But I didn't really get along with the consistency, it's quite a thin texture and you have to shake the bottle to mix it with the olive oil. Would I repurchase? No, but I want to check out other shower gels from Lush. 

Batiste Dry Shampoo Graffiti and Lace, 200ml £2.99 each - These products are old school necessities, I will always have a bottle of this lying around somewhere in my room. I must admit I do love the V05 version a little more, but you can't go wrong with a bottle of this on the go. I really like the lace one. Would I repurchase? Yes, so handy!
Naked Blonder Lightening Shampoo, 250ml £3.98 - I really enjoy Naked products, this is the first hair product I have used from them. I was impressed, I mean it's nothing outstanding, but I did notice a sun-kissed look to my highlighted hair. The scent is lovely and it's nice to know there are no nasties in the bottle. Would I repurchase? Yes...maybe, I am still using the conditioner up.

RECENT/SEPTEMBER BEAUTY FAVOURITES 2012

These are the products that I have recently been loving. Mainly hair and skincare products this month.
The Body Shop Banana Shampoo & Conditioner, 250ml £4.50 each - I'm not usually a Body Shop kinda girl. It's not a shop I usual pop in to, but I saw they were offering a good deal online, so I took advantage and I'm glad I did! The delivery was also very speedy which put them in my good books straight away. I love the way the shampoo makes my hair feel so super fresh, I can really see a difference. I was worried the smell was going to be too over powering, but I really like it and they make my hair feel so soft. I mean I'm always trying out new shampoos, but I know I can go back to these for a really affordable deal.
Bioderma Creline H20 Cleansing Solution, 500ml £12.90 - After the big bloggers hype that followed this product, I knew I had to get my hands on a bottle to see what all the fuss was about. This has become my go to product for taking off my make-up. It's so gentle and takes off every last bit of make-up from my face. I also feel it's really good value for your money, even though it is quite hard to get your hands on here in the UK.
Stila One Step Correct, 30ml £24.00 - I received this product in my Selfridges beauty box. I'm so glad I did as I had been lusting over it for a while. The box was so worth the money, because it would have cost me more to buy this product on it's own separately! This product is great at making your skin base flawless underneath your make-up. It also works as a primer and I have seen a massive different in my foundation staying on all day. My skin looks brighter, I would definitely recommend this product.

Origins Check and Balances Face Wash, 150ml £17.00 - I absolutely love Origins cleansers. I feel they are really good value for money and a little goes a long way. I like to use this cleanser with my Clarinsonic. It does make a lot of froth but you can definitely feel it working and cleaning deep. The clever cleanser balances out the dry and oily patches on your skin without cancelling each other out. My skin is left feeling fresh and clearer.
Organix Coconut Milk Serum, 118ml £5.99 - I love anything coconut scented and this is no exception. I apply this on to my hair once I have towel dried it. The ends of my hair are left feeling so soft and any dry parts are no longer visible. It really does help care for your hair and condition it back to its former self. I really want to try the shampoo and conditioner in the range next as I love the scent.

Vichy Idealia Smoothing and Illuminating Cream, Fullsize 50ml £19.99 - I received this product in my September Glossybox and started using it straight away. It smells so lovely, just like raspberries. It's really moisturising and makes my skin feel super soft. I would definitely repurchase the full-size after I have used up the sample. It's not something I would have picked up in the shops, so good job Glossybox!
