Simple eye balm review

I have never used a eye cream before so just turning 28 I decided that I need to add an eye cream to my routine. The simple eye balm is meant to sooth, nourish and make the eyes brighter.
As a contact wearer my eye area does tend to get dry and sore I also get little bumps under my eyes, I have been using this product for a month and have seen a difference in my under eyes they are less bumpy and less dry and sore and more nourished.
A little tip I like to keep mine in the fridge as in the morning and night it cools my eyes and reduces bags and dark circles.
I am a big fan of simple as I do have sensitive skin and this brand were made for those like me they also it is filled with skin loving ingredients.
• Pro- Vitamin B5 actively restores, softens and smooth
• Vitamin E moisturises to improve skin condition

• Jojoba Oil soothes and protects
• Shea Butter nurtures and replenishes
• Bisabolol soothes and calms

It has no perfume or colours and Dermatologically Tested and Approved

Overall I was very happy with this product and will be repurchasing it

brand review palmers

palmers product review

The palmers brand is a well known brand for helping with scars, stretch marks and evening out skin tone and also softening dry skin.
I have used this brand for many years every night I use the palmers body butter body lotion it has really helped with a few scars I have on my legs from being a accident prone child I had a really deep indent ant cut on my leg where I slipped getting on a bus in winter a lovely old man help me up as I cried walking home, the lotion has made the scar almost disappear.

A couple of year is ago I started to get acne in my early 20's and me being me I would pick them which resulted in scaring, it was hard to cover up the marks with make up, then I was watching TV and saw the palmers oil advert my first thought is that I need that in my life.
 I new the cream had helped my scars on my legs but was so thick for my face so I ran out and bout it and only a few months after using it I saw a huge difference my once clear skin was clear again and it was so nice not to have to cover up the scars with makeup if you have acne scars I recommend this to you. Apply a couple times a day and you will see the results I use it instead of a moisturiser in the morning its not greasy and you can put your makeup on straight away.

Though I always use the palmers body lotion I for some reason never used the hand lotion looking back I was mad as I bought it for my mum for Christmas as she has really dry hands and after a while she noticed that not only where her hands feeling silky soft but her nails where growing faster and stronger.
she told me I needed to use it as my nails are flimsy after a few weeks I notice my nails had suddenly grown and were really strong, great condition and weren't bendable anymore.

Summer hair routine

My summer hair care routine


In winter my hair care routine is all about nourishing my hair making it luscious and give it volume, in the summer it changes slightly with the weather heating up my routine is to protect my hair from heat damage so the products I use change slightly.

I wash my hair every 3 days I want to keep the natural oils in my hair but as it  gets slightly oily from the heat and working out I use a dry shampoo and it works wonders and it has extra volume.

I stop drying air and let it dry naturally I have long hair and with the natural heat in the air it dries within 2 hours, I'm cutting out he heat from the drier so less damage.

I still use a hair mask once a week the boots coconut and almond one smells amazing like your relaxing on a beach (I wish literally) as I still want glossy hair, I apply it to the mid to tips of my hair for 3 Min's after shampooing and then wash off.

The next  product I use is a head and hair protector it has spf30 stops the hair getting  damaged and protects the scalp. finishing with a hair oil that gives the ends shine

Sun kissed

With myself being a pale gal in the summer I like to look at least sun kissed and glowing like I've step off a beach from sun bathing all day well maybe not that sun tanned just not so Casper.

This is my go too look if I want to look healthy and glowing the bronzer I use is from my Estee Lauder deluxe all over face compact pallet it is the prefect bronzer for me not too orange or dark so suited my Casper complexion.

 

My base is No7 foundation, concealer and loose setting powder in calico I then used the beauty UK posh no1 Eden eye shadow palette on my eyes to create a smoky bronze look, I used the first shadow all over the eye lid blended then applied the second shadow over the top all over again and blended it out. I also used the second shadow on the bottom lashes making sure to blend really well to give it that smoky eye I then applied the last shadow in the crease and outer edge of my eye to give it extra dimension as the metallic gives it that goddess sun kissed look. I used the pale cream shadow under the brow and inner corner to open and brighten then the eyes.

I then used the Estee Lauder soft matt bronzer 01 in the deluxe all over face compact to contour slightly my checks taking it up to my temple and to finish the look I used Estee lauder pure colour long lasting lipstick in sunstone
