Tropic Skincare Review

Sorry, sorry. I promised this review a while back but I decided I needed to be 100% sure about it before I did a review. 

I've got to say, overall, I LOVE these products. I've got quite a few of them. Skincare, lipsticks, lip gloss, lip liner. This review is just about the Skincare Products. 



You can buy all of the above products separately or in a box altogether. I chose to buy them all in the box as it works out a lot cheaper. The box is £79 for 6 products, a headband & a polishing cloth. 
You use the cleanser without water at first. Just rub it into your face and it dissolves your make up. Then use the cloth (wet) to wipe the product off. 
Next, use the toner. Either spray directly onto your face and then use a cotton pad to wipe it off or spray onto a cotton pad and just wipe your face with it. It feels so refreshing, especially on a morning. 
The Eye refresh is the same - so refreshing on a morning. Lovely to use. Feel under your eye and find the bone. Don't use the product any closer to your eye than that. It works a treat. 
The oil is gorgeous. The smell is incredible and it doesn't leave you feeling greasy at all. I've used it on my face and I've even used it on scratches/scars that I've got. I just love it. A little goes a really long way. you don't need to use a lot at all. I can tell that it will last me absolutely ages. 
The face scrub is brilliant. Use it once or twice a week with warm water. Just massage into your face and follow with the moisturiser. Your skin will feel so soft/smooth. 
The moisturiser is the Skin Revive you can see in the photo. Again, I must say that a little goes a long way. 1 pump is plenty for your face. 

The smell of all of these products is fantastic. You feel like you're having a mini facial every time you use it. It's a luxury product without the luxury price tag. 

Below is the Body Love Buttercream. Again, an amazing smell and a fantastic product. The tub is 300ml and will last forever. I've never been one for using a full body cream after a bath or shower and I don't know that I ever will be. However, I've been using this on a night on my arms. You can't see them, but I do have dry patches on the tops of my arms and after just 4 nights (so far) of using this Buttercream, I can already tell a difference. I keep it by my bed to remind me use it every evening. I think I'll continue to use it as it's so simple & not at all greasy. 




Overall, I genuinely love these products. I'll definitely buy them again and I've been recommending them to all my friends and family. 
Give it a go, you'll see that it's not just me raving about it. 

If you have any questions or want me to review anything else, please comment below. 

Thank you

**BOOTS HAUL**

Yes, I have finally done a haul. I know it be much easier to do this in a video, but hey, I'd rather write :)


I got a few things I needed and a few things I didn't, but wanted them anyway. A couple of things have been recommended and most of them I've never tried before. 
I took these pictures quickly as I took them out of the bag and my cat kept getting in the way so I apologize for the quality of some of them.

Lets get started...


I bought this on a recommendation. It's Soap & Glory Bright Here Bright Now Instant Radiance Energy Boost Balm. You use it like a moisturizer, underneath your foundation/cc cream/powder (whichever you use). I'm really looking forward to using this. It smells amazing and felt lovely when I tried it on my hand. I'll let you know how I get on with it. 


Again, these are a recommendation. I needed a new shampoo as I'm getting a bit bored of using Herbal Essence every time. These are Dove Pure Care, Dry Oil Shampoo & Conditioner. Again, I'll let you know how I get on. You tend to know straight away if a shampoo is wrong for your hair. 



These were a little bit of a whim. I've heard of the 'Yes to' brand but no actually used anything. I needed some new face wipes so thought I'd give them a go. These are the Yes to Blueberries cleansing facial wipes (with apple and lemon peel).


The next thing on my list of things I needed was hairspray. I love Elnett. I've always preferred it to any other hairspray. Shock horror - they've brought out a new one and I had to try it. This is Elnett Satin Extra Strength with Argan Oil


Argan oil is all the rage at the minute. They're even putting it into hairbrushes now. I did need a new one so I thought I'd try this. Lee Stafford Argan Oil Large Paddle Brush. Hopefully this will do the job I need it to. I have very frizzy hair so I hope it helps. 



Again, this one I did need. I ran out of my other this morning. It's a new smell but I've used Batiste before and I know it works. Batiste Dry Shampoo in Pretty & Opulent Oriental.  


Real Techniques Stippling Brush. I needed a new brush to apply my CC cream or foundation. I've heard that the Stippling Brushes are the new foundation brush so why not give it a try. It will be my 'everyday' brush. 



Bourjois Paris 123 Perfect CC Cream. This was another recommendation. I went for the shade Ivory (31) and I'm hoping to use this everyday, instead of foundation. I'll have to let you know how I get on with this as I've never used it before. 


Last but not least, I needed a new eyebrow pencil. I was looking for a pencil and a brow gel but they didn't have any gel at Boots so I opted for this instead. L'Oreal Brow Artist Shaper in Blonde. One side the the pencil and the other side is a Fix & Finish Wax. 

Ciao for now - Let me know in the comments bar below if there is anything in particular you'd like me to review. 
Thanks

First Aid Beauty Review

Good Evening Beauty Lovers

Tonight I am going to give you my honest opinion of the First Aid Beauty Products. 


I bought all of these products at the same time. Some were in a pack, one was a free gift and others were bought separately. I have recently sold two of the properties on ebay, one needs throwing away, one is okay every so often and two are AMAZING. 

FACE CLEANSER : This is the product that I think needs throwing away. I'm really disappointed with this. I have it in my shower and I have been using it every so often but the smell is awful. It smells like it has gone off. It's an ok product (ignoring the smell). It seems fine on my skin, but overall, I can honestly say, I'd never buy this again.

DUAL REPAIR POWER SERUM : This was a free gift because I spent over a certain amount. I'm sure it's lovely but I never actually opened it, I just sold it on ebay as it's for skin much older than mine. 

DETOX EYE ROLLER : Love this product! It really works and it certainly wakes you up on a morning. Remembering to use it is another matter, but overall, I really rate this and would definitely buy it again. 

TRIPLE REMEDY EYE CREAM : Again, I LOVE this. It was recommended several times by Beauty Blogger; Fleur De Force on her videos. I totally agree. It's so nice on your skin and it does what it says on the tin. 100% recommend this and would totally buy it again. Use every morning underneath make up or on it's on. (Please don't use right underneath the eye, it goes along the bone under your eye. If you use product too close to your eye, it will eventually build up inside your tear duct and have nowhere to go - Not a nice thought!)

ULTRA REPAIR CREAM : Hmm... This wasn't bad, but I have sooo many face moisturizers and this wasn't the best. Therefore, it was another product I've since sold on ebay. It seemed okay on my skin, it certainly didn't harm it. It just wasn't for me. 

FACIAL RADIANCE PADS ; These are good. Not overly exciting and for the money, not something you would use every night. Overall though I really like these and will continue to use them.


Overall, I'm not a huge fan of First Aid Beauty, but it's certainly not the worst product I've used either. My favorites are the eye products that I will continue to use... not a fan of the face products. 

I will soon be doing a review on Tropic Skincare - Definitely a must read as I can promise, It will be a fantastic review.
