April’s Look Fantastic Beauty Box review

Baby present with a twist, my sister @rafferty_katie was trying to think of a unique baby gift for me and I think she outdid herself, she subscribed me to #lfbeautybox for the year – a gift for mammy – Happy mammy equals happy baby 💙 her thinking was also a monthly review of products for our page, I had so much fun trying out the April box 😍Here are my verdicts:

#lfbeautybox I just love it💕, it was delivered by courier, is fabulously packaged and feels so luxurious to unwrap, also love the booklet that comes with the box. It gives a full run down on each product included detailing how to use the product and some tips. It also gives recipes to make a number of masks and products yourself

The products:

@purcosmetics #fullychargedmascara I liked this mascara, I felt it added length (but not a lot of volume) and it lasted all day, I hadn’t come across the brand before, I would defo buy it but would use it only for a daytime look

@glamglow #supermudclearingtreatment this cracked me up, literally! It came out in a gray Clay like substance, after I awkwardly broke the seal of the tube it exploded across the room, I then put it on my face and it completely dried on my skin making laughing/talking impossible!! I had to soak it to remove it from my face, I found my skin tight after using it, I didn’t have any spots to hard to tell if it cleared the skin as promised!

@emmahardieskincare #moringacleansingbalm this smelled gorgeous and was really silky on my face, really nice product to use but it has to be washed off so it may not be everyone

@nuxeireland #cremefraichedebeaute daily face moisturiser I think this was my favourite product this month, made my skin really hydrated, definitely going to purchase

@dr.botanicals #veganbergamontandpoppyseedsoap this took me back in time as it’s a soap, I can’t remember the last bar of soap I used!! Smelled really nice and a nice product for the shower, the poppy seeds are actually quite abrasive so I imagine give good exfoliating results, I enjoyed this product as it smelled good, left my skin feeling good and was quite different to what I normally use

@nipandfab #glycolicfixdailycleansingpads these are refreshing however they are tiny, also I wouldn’t buy again simply as they recommend to use them throughout the day but on cleansed skin, as I wear makeup everyday it doesn’t work well with this type of product

Safe to say I am excited to see what next month brings,

Roll on May!!

Dyson Hairdryer review

The #dysonhairdryer …

I took the plunge and invested in the dyson the Christmas before last, before that I wasn’t a hairdryer fan, infact I never used one as my hair is so thick and long I always ran out of patience trying to dry my hair. After months of lusting I clubbed a few Christmas gifts together with a gift card from work and invested…

#myopinion – Honestly now I couldn’t do without it, I find it super quick to blast dry my hair after a shower, it gives it the soft salon feeling and keeps my frizz calm!!

I’ve gone from never drying my hair to using this a couple of times a week which I think says enough! It comes with multiple attachments but the one in the pic I tend to stick with out of habit! It has 3 heat settings and 3 speed settings, if you use it regularly I would suggest turning down the heat a little, while they claim it doesn’t damage your hair I have heard a few say they find it a little drying on the hair

The challenge I think is the price point, it is quite high and definitely an investment piece, I’m sure it will stand the test of time but the initial cost is considerable. I’ve yet to see it reduced/on sale anywhere, the only place I see value is purchasing at Boots during triple point events

Summary

😌drys hair incredibly fast

😌lightweight – easy to hold and handle

😊salon smooth hair without product

😊easy to use

😞pricepoint

😞not as quite as they claim

😞doesn’t come with a hairdresser!!

Verdict: overall definitely a thumbs up 👍🏻 put it on the bucket list

Rating 4 out of 5 (lost one point purely on the high price point)

Love
