Moisturiser Of The Moment: SkinScription HydroPlenish

I'm not going to lie, if it wasn't for coming across SkinSciption HydroPlenish at the True Grace PR summer showcase last week, I probably would have never tried it. But boy would I have been missing out!

Just to give you a bit of background, SkinScription is a prescriptive skin care brand created by award-winning aesthetic physician Dr Tracey Bell. The range includes everything from cleansers and toners to vitamin A serums and caffeine-infused cellulite reducers.

HydroPlenish is SkinScription's daily-use, hydrating moisturiser. It's suitable for all skin types, but works particularly well for people who have dehydrated, ageing skin. 

The first thing I noticed about this moisturiser before I even tried it was the packaging. It comes in a simple, clear and silver case and has a push pump on top to stop you getting any moisturiser under your nails and/or wasting any of the product. Given that I always use too much moisturiser, I love the idea of controlling the volume of product I use per application. It's a real selling point for me.

As soon as the product comes out on top of the pump, the two things that grabbed my attention were the smell and texture. I honestly couldn't tell you what it smells of, but I can confirm it's fruity and smells absolutely gorgeous! Although the texture is light and silky like a serum, it moisturises my skin really well.

Another important thing to tell you is the ingredients included. HydroPlenish is made with antioxidants such as resveratrol (found in grapes) and sunflower seed oil; protective thyme and blackcurrant oil; and smoothing black tea ferment.

I really do rate this moisturiser, and that is a rare thing for me to say given that I am scared to put a lot of new skin care products on my face for fear of breakout central!

You can buy a 28g pot of SkinScription HydroPlenish Moisturising Cream here for £34. It's definitely on the expensive side, but you'll get to know that I always pay a lot for skin care as I believe you really do get what you pay for when it comes to cleansing and moisturising. And I do believe this product is worth the money.

NOTD: Coral Crush

Dear OPI,

I love you, but I think I might be leaving you.

Yes, you heard that right ladies and gents - I'm prepared to give up OPI for Revlon (temporarily, of course). 

Everyone knows I am into orange at the moment for lips, but last night I seriously fell in love with One Perfect Coral. It's just so beautiful!

Not only is the colour stunning, but also the application was really simple and I didn't have to spend ages removing polish from the edges of my nails like I usually do!

I'm really looking forward to pay day so I can add some more colours to my collection.

What do you think of this nail polish? Any recommendations? xxx

MALIN + GOETZ Neroli Candle Review

You know you are in for a treat when you can smell a candle through every layer of its packaging!

Ever since I published my candle wishlist a couple of months ago, I haven't been able to stop thinking about one brand in particular - MALIN + GOETZ. There's just something so simple, fresh and pure about the candles in this collection, which is why I am so grateful to the lovely ladies at Pure PR for giving me the chance to review the Neroli candle.

Although Neroli was the candle I was reaching for the most, I am also really intrigued about the Tobacco and Cannabis offerings, as I have heard great things about them.

I love the vibrant, colour-block packaging that comes with the Neroli candle. If I'm honest, it's part of the reason why I am so drawn to them, and the fact I think it's a good size too (albeit a little expensive). I think the use of white text also complements the bright orange box, and I love the way they have highlighted in bold how the candle creates a sensory balance.

Moving on to the candle itself, it has a really strong sweet and citrusy fragrance, which is great for this time of year when everyone is getting excited about Summer FINALLY showing its face. Top notes include bitter orange and lemon and the base is infused with iris and musk.

One thing I will say about the candle is that the scent really does hit you in the face. I had it burning last night for 5 minutes and the room transformed into club tropicana! If you don't like the smell of Lush, I wouldn't recommend you trying this one.

Burn time is 60 hours, which is great. Although MALIN + GOETZ recommend that the candle shouldn't be lit for more than 2 or 3 hours at a time, I would say that's more than fine considering the strength of the scent and also how much time us busy beauty bloggers have on our hands!

You can buy the Neroli candle here for £37.

What's your favourite candle? Do you like the sound of this one? xxx

Beauty Looks A-Z: Atomic

I love discovering new make-up products, so I thought it would be fun to start an A-Z series on beauty looks based on words starting with each letter of the alphabet.

This week, I have gone with an 'atomic' theme, which is all very futuristic and shimmery! I definitely had to include OCC Iced Lip Tar, Barry M Dazzle Dust and Illamasqua Liquid Metal in my atomic product list, because they are some go-to metallic marvels in my eyes.

Hope you love this series and let me know what you think of my chosen look and products!

Lots of beauty blogging love xxx
