St. Ives Sensitive Skin Gentle Apricot Scrub - Review

 St. Ives Sensitive Skin Gentle Apricot Scrub : Review

According to St. Ives "This extra mild Apricot Scrub for dry or sensitive skin instantly smoothes skin and its gentle enough to use every day."

 I've been using St. Ives Sensitive Skin Apricot Gentle Scrub for about 6 months.after a long and hard search for something that works, I have found St Ives. I find it to be quite a good exfoliator and a must in ones life. St Ives is by far the UK's best selling scrub brand. Its no surprise  that  nearly everyone I know has used this at some point in their life even men!Like most scrubs it gently exfoliates the dull surface cells to unravel a bright, radiant and smooth skin. St Ives Apricot gentle scrub is mild enough to use daily but for best results use 3/4 times weekly. 

 

Tip - If your a fake tanners this will removes n tan marks!

Application:  Recommend to use once or twice a week. Moisten face with some water, then squirt some onto your finger tips and massage onto face using circular motions. Rise your face when finished.

Pros:

·                     Exfoliating beads are not scratchy

·                      There is a Lovely apricot scent

·                     Leaves skin feeling smooth

·                     Affordable

Cons::

·                     Nothing to dislike

Overall: Although the packaging says you can use this daily, I wouldn't recommend it. Initially, when I first bought this I used it every day. I found that it makes me skin feel really tight and it was starting to get a little flaky and dry. Therefore I reduced it to 3/4 times a week and it was much better for the skin. This is a pretty good exfoliator and due to it's affordable price and I would buy again.

BARRY M NAIL PAINT REVIEW

BARRY M NAIL PAINT REVIEW

PRICE- £2.99 

So, I have a couple of nail varnishes from Barry M,You make think that what is so special about Barry M. I tell you what it is, the colours and how long it actually lasts for. 

Barry M has been around for quite some time. Usually i would focus on the eye shadows as I love sparkly things. But something else grabbed my attention a year ago .... the nail polish (i actually love these colours on my toe nails). Due to the fact they have served me so well i thought they deserved some credit on an honest review.

These are my Favorite (left to right)

NP 272 - pink, NP 262- red, NP 296 - orange

I feel that the price per varnish is incredibly good value for money, as you get a lot of use out of it. These 3 products i have had for over a year and well, they last. I love how big of a variety they have; there is a huge choice of colour range, with the latest colours of the season along with plain normal colours. The colour did last a long time. I didn't get that many chips which is good for such a low priced product.

Previously I have bought O.P.I , Leighton Denney nail polishes, honestly this is just as good as them. If you use a base coat and top coat your nails every day then you should get a similar result.

 If you buy a brightly pigmented colour then be sure to put a base coat on first.

(An example of wearing the nail polish on Royal Caribbean Cruise this summer.)

My overall view

GREAT....  if you haven't tried them then you 

are missing out/mad as they are a good company 

and great value for money. HIGHLY 

RECOMMENDED.
