La Belle Famille - Hydra Genius Aloe Water

Image
This is another product I have been asked to test out by L'Oreal. This is their new moisturiser which has aloe water and hyaluronic acid in it. It is meant to lock in moisture for 72hrs to make your skin look fresher and give it a natural glow. This is a very light weight moisturiser which has a light aloe scent - it applies smoothly once it has sunk into the skin there is a slight filmy texture which goes away eventually, it makes my skin really soft and smooth. I use this before I apply my makeup on a morning to leave my skin hydrated and plump. On a night I use slightly more just to make sure it can soak in overnight. I wake up with silky smooth skin ready for the day. The formulation I have is for normal to combination skin - I hope they bring out other variants but watch this space. I have had a quick scour of the internet and can't see a price showing anywhere!

Film Friday - Beauty and the Beast (2017)

Image
A tale as old as time has had a revamp - this live action version of the classic disney animation has hit hard at the box office. To most girls this film will be close to there hearts, Belle was the first Disney Princess that had a bit more substance - she was clever, a bookworm and didn't swoon as soon as she saw Gaston. Now I am not saying the Princesses that came before weren't clever but them attribute were never dwelled on for too long. If you have never seen beauty and the beast here is a brief synopsis -  A young prince, imprisoned in the form of a beast, can be freed only by true love. What may be his only opportunity arrives when he meets Belle, the only human girl to ever visit the castle since it was enchanted. (From IMDB) In the live action version you get to see more of the back story, there are extra songs and a lot more magic. I was in awe. All the enchanted furniture was beautifully edited and just as sassy as the original. I cried numerous times and l

My new obsession - Disney Tsum Tsums!

Image
With Dylan being obsessed with POP! Vinyls I have had to find a new obsession of my own- and that is Tsum Tsums. They are cute little stackable versions of your favourite disney or star wars characters. Top row (L-R) Maximus, Pascale and Minnie Mouse Bottom row (L-R) Flynn Rider, Rapunzel and The Ugly Duckling So I have started with four Tangled characters, mainly because I seen Pascale - I love him, he has to be one of my favourite characters; possibly ever! Then it just kind of spiraled from there. The ugly duckling is an anomaly - he looked so lonely and has a little tear drop coming from his eye I couldn't resist! Let me know if you have any obsessions? Do you also have Tsum Tsums? Let me know who? xo

Glossy-un-boxing - February 2017

Image
So last month - I have very nearly caught up! How exciting?! In February we received a special box. It is soooooooooo pretty! First thing we received - was the Jeanne Abthes L'eau de rose - this is a full size perfume. It is very elegant but quite strong so you have to be a big fan of rose it enjoy this. In the box is a full size bottle which retails for £20. Being honest it isn't my cup of tea but still a good product to get - if you dig it! How old do I sound though?!  Next is a face scrub for La Theore des Volcans - this is their noir eternae youth potion face scrub. The scrub is enriched with volcanic paste which help to cleanse and purify. It is also blended with anti-ageing ingredients to help plump and smooth skin. This is full size and with a hefty £26 price tag I think it si a bit steep but they feeling of my skin after was amazing. It left it unbelievably soft to the touch. We also received a hair mask from Garnier, it is part of their Honey trea
