A little Debenhams bargain!

So I spotted this little set at Debenhams for the bargainous price of £13.50 and couldn't resist purchasing it. There are a couple of brands I haven't tried and a couple I have and like. 

Here is what the set contained:

I have worked out the individual prices using the costs for the full size items at Feel 

1.8g Benefit Dr Feelgood  - £1.61

5ml Dead Sea Spa Magik Delicate Boosting Mask - 51p

5ml Dead Sea Spa Magik Rich Moisturiser - 51p

20ml Natio Ageless Illuminating Primer - £4.00

15ml Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream - £22.98

10ml L'Occitane Hand Cream - £2.67

So the total value of the box would be £32.28, not bad for £13.50

I have tried the Dead Sea products before and they are OK, nothing to write home about but they don't break me out or irritate my skin so they will get used. I have tried Benefit products before but not this one in particular so I am looking forward to giving this a go. It does have a lovely texture and if its good the price of the full size product is only £21.50 so not bad at all. Again, I have tried L'Occitane products before but never a hand cream so I am looking forward to using this I currently have around 15 hand creams all being used, they are all over my house, in hand bags and all over my desk at work. (and on my bosses desk as he tends to steal them!) So I shall pop this one in my current handbag and make a point of using this all the time to see how it works for me.

I have never tried Natio before. I have seen them in Debenhams but in all honestly I have always walked right past the stand and never given it a second look. I've always thought it looked a bit cheap (sorry Natio!) but I'm really excited to try this out. I love primers and it contains some rather lovely sounding ingredients like aloe vera, shea butter and organic rosehip oil so we shall see, plus if I like this the full size is only £10.00, BARGAIN!!!

Finally the Elemis, I have never tried an Elemis product before. With my skin being really sensitive and a lot of products really irritate my skin I'm always reluctant to try expensive products without trying a sample first to make sure its OK for me. I've never seen or been given an Elemis sample before so this is perfect, however I'm kind of hoping that I don't like it with the full size being over £70 for 50ml.... Eek!

So I'm hoping to have some reviews up shortly of the products and maybe a haul with some repurchases if any of them actually turn out to be any good. Hears hoping!

Thanks for reading

Lots of Love

Monu Moisture Rich Collagen Cream Review

Hi all,

Second post of the evening. I just had to review this item, I've been using it for about a week now and thought it was about time to give my opinion.

Here is what Monu say:

• A rich, luxurious cream to relieve dryness and smooth fine lines.
• Comforting Rose and Geranium essential oils.
• Evening Primrose and Blackcurrant Seed oils with essential fatty acids to repair skin lipids.
• Shea butter and Sodium Hyaluronate to improve the skin’s barrier function.
• Natural betaines to stimulate the skin’s hydration process.
• Marine Collagen to help smooth fine lines.
• Plant flavonoids with antioxidant action to help prevent premature ageing.
• Paraben free formulation.

And here are the ingredients

• Betanes
• Blackcurrant Seed Oil
• Evening Primrose Oil
• Geranium Essential Oil
• Marine Magnesium
• Plant Flavonoids
• Rose Essential Oil
• Shea Butter
• Sodium Hyaluronate/ Hyaluronic Acid

I received this in my last Glossybox and I have to say this is the best product I have ever received in a beauty box and its the best face cream I have ever used. I have extremely sensitive skin and find it really difficult to find creams that don't break me out or cause me to get a rash. This product does neither. After only one week my skin has improved dramatically, its practically glowing.  It leaves my face feeling super soft and absorbs really quickly. Its great to use before applying my foundation and I find that my face is still feeling soft right through to the end of the day without feeling greasy. I believe the RRP of this product is £17.50 and it is worth every single penny! I have spent alot more on products and not been half as happy as I am with this, I honestly can't say enough about this cream, apart from I will be stocking up and trying out some other products in the range. You can purchase items from the Monu website here and shipping is free for order over £30.00. There will definitely be some more review on Monu products on my blog shortly once I have chosen from the extensive selection of amazing looking products on their website and placed my order. Watch this space!

Once again have a good weekend lovelies!

Lots of Love
