BEAUTY PIE LOVE FRAGRANCE REVIEW Beauty Pie describes this fragrance as feminine, easy and modern. The notes in this fragrance are a mix of fresh fruit top notes, deeper florals in the heart notes, and warm woods, ambers and musk at the base. On the first spray when it’s settling into the skin, the fragrance almost has quite a fizzy quality with the rhubarb and

bergamot

NIOXIN DIABOOST THICKENING TREATMENT REVIEW Before I start my review of the Nioxin Diaboost Thickening Treatment – a little backstory on how my hair has been. Back before having my hair coloured and cut in November, I was suffering with bad breakage and was noticing my hair was starting to look thinner – I have thick hair, and controversially I like having thick hair too, I never ask for my hair to be thinned out unless it’s going WORTH THE HYPE? FILORGA TIME FILLER EYES REVIEW The reason that this product has become so hyped online is that it claims to mimic the effects of botox and whilst £3 per ml is expensive (at least to me!) for eye cream it’s a damn site cheaper than botox. This claims to target and improve five main areas. – Wrinkles. – Eyelids. – Lash Volume. YOUR GOOD SKIN PURIFYING TREATMENT MASK REVIEW When Boots launched their Your Good Skin Range it had me intrigued to say the least. When I spotted a mask – Your Good Skin Purifying Treatment Mask – at a very affordable price point I had to give it a try and it’s one I’ve given a good test over the past few months, testing on my skin as it’s been through various stages. SIMBA MATTRESS REVIEW : THREE MONTHS IN I wanted to write up our Simba Mattress Review after we've now had it on our main bed for over 3 months and to let you know if I think that

it's worth it!

NAILBERRY STRAWBERRY JAM Nailberry Strawberry Jam is a classic mid red with a very slight hint of pinky undertones (I personally think the colour of this is more Raspberry than their Raspberry). You’ll see over this post that the colour does vary quite a bit depending on what light you’re in and can appear more pinky in some lights and deeper in others. COVERGIRL LASHBLAST CLUMP CRUSHER MASCARA REVIEW The cost of this mascara was about $11.49 (about £8.50 pre brexit), in the UK this mascara is £10.99 (about $16 pre brexit). Unlike the UK where it’s definitely easier to find non-waterproof versions of mascaras, the US it’s the other way around, so this is their water-resistant formula. The tube is a chunky bright green which is

WORTH THE HYPE? M&S’ ABSOLUTE ULTIMATE SLEEP CREAM The range of Absolute products is their most premium offering and a loot of the products seem to be targetted more towards your evening skincare routine.

THREE BEAUTY PIE EYE CREAMS RRP £65 / Subscription Price £7.31. This has been the one that I’ve trialled for the longest as it was the one I didn’t have to wait to come into stock. The Uberyouth eye cream comes in a small glass jar and reminds me of the M&S Absolute Lip and Eye Cream packaging style. The formula is rich in peptides which are meant to

SHILLS BLACK MASK (AKA THAT VIRAL FACE MASK) The product comes in a box with all the instructions and ingredients listed, and inside comes a 50ml tube of product. It’s priced pretty reasonably at £8.99. The box is a little mis-translated I think, whilst the tube itself seems to have had better English added, I mean the outer box claims that this increases complexion, nothing can ILLAMASQUA SKIN BASE FOUNDATION REVIEW (SB06) I’d heard incredible things about the Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation in reviews since December, it’s a foundation which seems to have been around for a good chunk of time, but has avoided being on

my radar.

NO7 EXCEPTIONAL DEFINITION MASCARA REVIEW No7 Exceptional Definition Mascara Review. No7 is a brand which I’ve never had a great relationship with. There’s something about this has always felt ‘old’ to me and I’ve always thought that it’s a bit overpriced for the quality that you get. Even with the FOUR SPRING LIPSTICKS PICKED 100% Pure Lip Glaze in Velveteen. I’ve mentioned this a few times recently as it’s an item that’s targeted to be a product for me to use up this year, and it’s been one that’s happily become a handbag staple since. This is such a good lipstick for going in the handbag because it’s comfortable and pairs well with just about any IS THE BEAUTY BLENDER WORTH IT? Have you tried “the original”? Is the Beauty Blender Worth It to you? Available widely including from M&S for £17. Product sent by M&S as part of a PR parcel. Thoughts and experiences entirely truthful based on my experience with the product. Email: helplesswhilstdrying@gmail.com. WORTH THE HYPE? EMMA HARDIE MORINGA CLEANSING BALM REVIEW The brand isn’t cheap and one of the reasons I hadn’t rushed to keep it waiting to be used. The Moringa Cleansing Balm is a 100ml pot and comes in at £47 – so expectations for it have to be high as it’s easily the most expensive cleanser that I’ve ever tried. It’s been well mentioned and loved in the past by most predominately
