Avon Skin So Soft: Satin Glow Firming Body Moisturiser

Hello everyone!
I am looking forward to my May holiday with my boyfriend and friends from Newcastle so much! I have been preparing for a while, making sure I am in tip-top condition for the beach. I have been exercising and eating healthily to maintain my shape and have started using a new firming body moisturiser with a fab extra.

The Avon Skin So Soft: Satin Glow Firming Body Moisturiser is really a beautiful product. The cream applies easily and isn't too thick or watery. Neither is it wasteful, and sinks into the skin within a few moments, but it easy to spread out. The tanner is really subtle and -so far- I am not orange. Being fair skinned can make using tanners and gradual tan builders really difficult, as the slightest change in your skin tone makes you look like a clementine!


My only complaint would be that the cream stinks really badly! If only for about 30 minutes, I would recommend applying after showering and letting the smell die off over night, as it is really strong. Aside from that I would definitely say give it a go. You can purchase this from any Avon rep or from their website.

My Favourite Vegan Foods

Oh how Youtube delights in giving me quite possibly the worst cover image for my videos! This film is about three of my favourite Vegan foods, that I continue to eat even when I am not being Vegan. They are good replacements for dairy products, as meat isn't a problem for me to cut out; milk and yogurt however are such staples in my nutrition that before finding these products I did struggle to remove them. Enjoy watching! For more food related posts, restaurant reviews and recipes visit my food blog here. Love,

Sanctuary 5 Minute Thermal Detox Mask

Hi Everyone! So a few posts ago I wrote about my BUMPER BEAUTY HAUL, and I mentioned the Sanctuary 5 Minute Thermal Detox Mask. Well I have got round to road-testing it, and I need to say now, it is amazing. Honestly, I am so impressed with it! Read on for my full review...

Oh don't I just look fabulous! Thank god I've got over my fear of people seeing me without makeup on. In fact, today I went to Starbucks completely bare faced! ANYWAY. So the Face Mask:

• Creamy, and exceptionally easy to apply. There is little thickness during application, however it comes out the tube very thick.
• You cannot feel the exfoliation beads when applying, so they don't scratch the skin. However you can feel them when you wash the product off, so you know it has done its job.
• Its very warm when you apply the product with your hands, which is pleasant! It was an unexpected reaction, and was a really cool surprise. The product itself cools during the 5 minute process, but you still feel slight warmth on your skin. 
• The product does not dry out like most face masks, and isn't tight or crumbly on the face. It washes off really easily, and is very comfortable to wear.
• 9/10

Results

• Colour evening. My skin tone is alot more balanced, and the morning after I did the mask my skin felt smooth and even textured
• My spots were gone. The scarring remained, but is clearing quickly
• During the process I felt very relaxed, so it is a calming product too!

Recommend?

Yes! I would definitely recommend this, to a friend,  my mother, a stranger..! However, I will warn that this is for skin that needs really deep down cleansing. There is another mask available (which is also cheaper), for an at home luxury facial experience, rather than directed treatment. You can get this mask from Boots for £10.20, and online from sanctuary.com. 

With love,
