Hello everyone how have you all been?

This weekend while I was shopping for my sisters birthday present I noticed that Clinique has a gift promotion on when you brought two or more products. Now if you read my post about how I cured my acne HERE you will know that I religiously use my Clinique products day and night. So when I saw I was coming to the end of my clarifying lotion I knew I had to buy more very shortly. Now I always find it very hard not to buy two products when these promotions are on, what can I say if I am given the opportunity to buy more I do let’s just say I need no encouragement.  

So while I knew that I was going to get another Anti-Blemish Solutions Clarifying Lotion but I was really unsure about what to get as my second product. I am going on holiday very shortly and therefore I do not want to be wearing foundation while I am there and have been looking into various BB creams, when I saw that Clinique offered one I decided that it would be my second product. I have not yet tried it as but if you are interested in a review of the product then leave a comment below.

According to the packet the BB Cream can be worn alone or as a primer. I am very interested in seeing what it is like as a primer as this is not a use I was intending to use it for, so if it is a good primer it will be an added bonus. Clinique say that it has a ‘long-wearing, oil-control formula’ which is ‘appropriate for all skin types’.

Now onto the free gift, I always get excited when a free gift is offered even though I know that the gift is always the same kind of thing with maybe a few changes.

Take the day off makeup remover for lids, lashes and lips – This is a product that you get in most of the Clinique free gifts, therefore it is something that I have used before and I do genuinely like apart from the fact that it is slightly greasy once applied. It really does take off even the toughest mascara, but I can honestly say that I have not tried using it to take makeup off my lips.

Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle & UV Damage Corrector – This is a serum which is meant to be ‘A second chance for every skin with wrinkles’ this product is meant to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Moisture Surge Face Spray – I am very excited to try this product on holiday, it is an oil-free facial spray and is meant to restore the moisture balance within the skin.

All about eyes – Clinique markets this product to reduce the appearance of ‘puffs, circles, fine lines and shadows’ I have very dark circles under my eyes and I have to say even though this has come within many of the free gifts it is a product that I have never used. I am therefore very excited to try it.

Sparkle Skin Body Exfoliating Cream – For an exfoliant this cream does not have very big granules within so I imagine that it will not give a very harsh exfoliation but Clinique claims that it ‘rubs away persistent dullness, flakiness’

Deep Comfort Body Butter – I am excited to try this body butter as I get particually dry elbows, which is a problem that this product is meant to target. I am slightly disappointed with the smell though as it does not have any significant smell.

If you want reviews of any of these products just leave a comment bellow and I hope that you all have had a wonderful day J  

Hello Everyone, it has been a while hasn't it and for that I am sorry but I have been on holiday (which I will do a post about). Alas I am back now and ready to write :)

Today’s post is all about an L’Occitane set that I got as a present from an aunt. The set is from the angelica collection and is called Summer Beauty Essentials, this kit retails at £30 and you get some real gems in the kit.

The one thing I always love about L’Occitane products is that they smell amazing, it is one shop that I truly love to go into and which you come out smelling fantastic.

You get five products in the pack which all comes in a cute little travel bag, on my way home from holiday I used It keep some jewellery safe. The bag was perfect for my holiday as I went to the south of France and on the front it is depicting a scene from a French Provencal Café.

The product which I am most excited about to have is the Hand Cream as I think it is just amazing. This product Promises to ‘protect, nourish and soften your hands’. And I say that I agree with this statement. My sister and I buy a lavender version of it for our mum every birthday. It smells so good and really hydrates your hands, in the pack you get a 10ml tube and is enriched with 20% Shea Butter. If you haven’t tried this yet you must!

Next is a product that I am eager to try and it is the L’Occitane food cream, after trying the hand cream I have high hopes for this. This also comes in a 10 ml tube and claims to ‘Moisturize and relieve irritated and tired feet’ let me tell you I hope that it delivers what is says on the tin. This product contains 15% Shea Butter and other soothing ingredients.

 You also get two body washes, although one is a shower oil and the other is a shower gel. The Shower Gel that you get is the Gel Douche Universel, which you get a 75ml bottle of. I have tried this and it resulted in beautiful smelling skin, while in the bottle is in a gel but once contact with water has been made it turns into a foam.

I have not tried the Amande (Almond to you and me) Shower Oil yet (which you get in a 35ml bottle) and while I will I am slightly dubious as it markets itself as oil and I already have very oily skin. Alas it does promise to turn into foam so I will try it.

The next product I was incredibly grateful to have while away and was a 50ml bottle of the hydration face mist, this came in an aerosol can therefore keeping the liquid inside very cold which I was grateful for. I found that while keeping me cool it also moisturised my face. Another plus is that it has a wonderful floral scent which comes from the Organic Anegelica Water and Essential Oil contained inside.

Finally you also get a Lavender Fizzy Pebble for the bath which will be amazing when I want to have a relaxing bath as I don’t know about you but I find that lavender always relaxes me.

I Hoped you liked seeing what I got have you tried any of these if so what did you think?
