Antipodes Reincarnation Pure Facial Exfoliator Review

Hi everyone! Today I am reviewing another Antipodes product. It's the Reincarnation Pure Facial Exfoliator. I already reviewed two fantastic Antipodes face creams here and I am starting to fall in love with this amazing natural and organic brand and there is more reviews to come :)

Antipodes Reincarnation Pure Facial Exfoliator 75ml* £20.99 link 

'Antipodes Reincarnation Pure Facial Exfoliator contains 100% pure avocado oil, marigold flower, tonka bean and sandalwood. It helps to lift away lifeless skin, leaving a fresh complexion that feels reborn. Healing calendula oil works to nurture and repair, while carrot seed extract helps clear and revitalise skin's surface. Exotic essential oils of sandalwood, sweet orange and tonka bean calm and balance your skin's appearance.'

Since I started using Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish with a muslin cloth, I stopped using exfoliators, but after a couple of months I decided that my skin needs something more to remove dead skin cells 2-3 times a week. Most face scrubs are very harsh on my skin, but this one is very gentle! It also smell really nice. It is not a strong fragrance, but a very pleasant fruity aroma.

The formula is very creamy and contains micro jojoba beads that are so small that you can hardly notice them. I can feel them on my skin, but thy are not scratchy at all. The scrub leaves my skin clear and fresh and the calendula and avocado oils help to keep it soft and nourished. 

I use it on dry skin to get a better effect, but if your skin is sensitive, always make sure your face is wet prior to exfoliation. Massage it into your face and rinse with warm water. I always sweep my face with a cotton wool pad soaked in a gentle alcohol free toner after exfoliating and follow with a nourishing moisturiser. 

This exfoliator must be the best one I have ever used. It is gentle, smells lovely and does exactly what it says on the tin :)

Review: Stila Convertible Color Dual Lip and Cheek Cream in Gladiola

Tonight I will tell you a little bit about my experience with Stila. I have never heard about the brand until I started looking for an illuminating foundation. I bought the foundation from Buyapowa and when I received it I wasn't happy, it was half empty and the formula was weird, with bits of oil and some dried up product as well. I sent it back and got my money back. It's a shame, because I really wanted to use it.
When I was shopping in TKmaxx I came across sets of Stila makeup for £7.99 and £9.99! I couldn't resist it and I bought 2 sets. Five products in total. It was a great bargain. The shades were a guess, because of the cardboard packaging, but I took the risk. I got a foundation, concealer, lipgloss, lipstick and convertible color cream. Today I am reviewing the Convertible Color Dual Lip and Cheek Stain in a very bright shade- Gladiola.

Essie Braziliant Swatch- perfect for summer!

Another Essie swatch. This colour is called Braziliant and it is a very bright orange/tangerine shade with micro shimmer. It is bright, but it's not a neon colour, so if you are not a fan of neons you can feel safe about this one. It looks lovely with a tan, but also suits pale skin.

PS.Excuse my paint work and cuticles. I swatched over 20 nail polishes that day. I am currently giving my nails some TLC and I will be doing a post about it soon.

Myroo Lemon Body Butter Review and discount code

I love Body Butters, especially if they smell divine! I received this one about a month ago and I've been using it quite often allover my body, or just on my hands, elbows and knees.

 

MYROO LEMON BODY BUTTER* £15.00 for 115g

"Beautifully soothing body butter with shea butter and coconut oil is an intensive skin treat and a little goes a very long way. Our lemon body butter has the addition of beautiful lemon essential oil. STAR INGREDIENTS:Organic shea butter to moisturise, aid cell regeneration and help fade scars & marks. Coconut oil is highly antioxidant, moisturising and soothing. Sweet almond Oil rich in omega 6 and vitamins A, B1, B2 and B6"

I mentioned many times that I love everything that smells citrusy. Well... the scent of Myroo Lemon Body Butter is citrusy on another level!!! It makes me want to take a spoon and eat it straight from the tub! Honestly! I need to remind myself that it's not edible! :) 

I love using this body butter after taking a bath filled with my favourite Citrus Bath Milk from Weleda (review here). I end up smelling like a big juicy lemon and I love it! After each use, I keep sniffing my skin :) 

The consistency is a very light mousse that melts in contact with skin. It is a deeply moisturising formula that sinks into the skin quite slowly, so you have to wait about 15 minutes before getting dresses. 

If you are in a mood for pampering and you need to repair dry areas of your body, you should try this beautiful body butter! 

Every time I use it my skin feels soft and smells absolutely divine!

The one I got is a sample in a plastic container, but full size comes in a big, fancy jar.

May GlossyBox Review: The Birthday Edition

The Glossybox Birthday Edition is finally here! Happy Birthday Glossybox! I was very excited about this months box and I was hoping for something special.

I got a selection of 7 items in total including a Glossybox compact mirror. There was also a birthday balloon :) The box itself is the classic powder pink colour, the tissue paper is printed with bows, cupcakes and makeup and tied with a cute ribbon. I really like the attention to detail when it comes to the packaging. It is very pretty, but it is all about the content and I need to admit- this months box was average. I liked everything I received, but it isn't anything special. I received much better boxes before.

Unfortunately I had to cancel my subscription :( credit cards need to be paid off etc... I hope I will be able to subscribe again in the future, I love the idea of beauty boxes!

 

CONTENTS:

1.Noble Isle Summer Rising Bath & Shower Gel-It smells lovely and fresh and is quite a good size. The full size costs £20 (sample worth £6) so it is an expensive shower gel that I wouldn't normally buy, but I am happy to try it and see if it is worth the price.

2.Eldora eyelashes- I already tried Eldora eyelashes and I loved them. The ones I got this time are covered with gold glitter, so not suitable for day time, but they would be perfect for a night out. They are very light weight and look natural. I just don't know if I will ever use them.

3.Osmo Berber Oil hair Treatment- I am very excited to try this. I have been using Argan Oil on my hair for the past 2 weeks and it really made a difference to my hair, so I am planning to get more hair oils soon. This one smells lovely  and is specially formulated to restore life, lustre and shine, the exclusive blend of oils includes the renowned Argan Oil which is rich in Vitamin E and a powerful anti-oxidant that provides intense nourishment to suffering hair.

4.Apivita Express Beauty Masks- I love face masks and I am always searching for a new miracle one :) I can't wait to try it. 

5.Lolita lempicka Si Lolita EDP and Lolita Lempicka EDP- I really like to get perfume samples in beauty boxes, as I usually stick to one perfume, so it's a nice change. I like both fragrances, but I wouldn't buy a full size.

6.Glossybox compact mirror- perfect handbag size, I will definitely use it.
