Competition – Win a month’s supply of Sudocrem Skin Recovery Cream

Today I’m happy to share with you a giveaway for a month’s supply of Sudocrem’s new Skin Recovery Cream. It’s silky smooth and makes your skin feel wonderful. I get quite dry skin at this time of year, and by using the cream before bed, I’ve seen a difference when I wake up in the mornings. Plus I’ve only been using it for 5 days.

Living close to the beach and of course being out in the garden all Summer. We have had the most gorgeous hot weather, and I do use factor 50 sunscreen due to my fair skin. But inevitably my skin needs a little time to recover from the sun.

Top Hair Trends for Summer 2018

*This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own.

As we approach Summer, it’s time to look at the top hair trends for Summer 2018. Bold experimental looks and colours are all in. With throwback looks of the 70’s and 90’s. Middle partings and oversized braids are going to be huge this year.

Hair Styles

Sleek and structured updos are big on the catwalk. They show off the face, team it with a stunning dress and you are sorted for a night out.

Short bob styles with the ends curled in are big news for the easy to maintain look. In fact if you have a problem with a receding hairline and not feeling the most confident you can opt for lace front wigs which can make you feel amazing about your hair. You wouldn’t know it but the woman in the photo below is wearing one.

Beauty Review: Sensse Silicone Facial Cleansing Brush

A few weeks back I reviewed the Sensse Hot and Cool Facial Bar, and absolutely loved it. This past week I have been trying out the Sensse silicone facial cleansing brush. After quite a few sleepless nights with baby girl teething and her nightmares my skin has suffered. It feels dull and lifeless, tired and spotty.

Oyster Skincare Brightening Eye Serum Review and Giveaway

I’m not a huge makeup girl as you can probably tell, but I do have the odd face and tubs of skin cream around. I may forget to use it most days but I try! When I was asked to try out this Oyster Skincare Brightening Eye Serum I thought it wouldn’t hurt to give it a go. Maybe it will help to remove the bags from around my tired eyes. It might even give me one of those fresh face looks!

With work. moving house, baby girl and other things going on at the moment my poor eyes need some attention. Tired is an understatement!

Lee Stafford Lighten Up Mirror Review & Giveaway

I have always been a fan of Lee Stafford products, so when I was asked to review the Lighten Up Mirror, I was very excited! Not only is it in one of my favourite colours, but it’s a very useful product that will stand out on my bathroom shelf. I will keep it in here for use in the very early mornings (I’m talking before 5am!). It’s very lightweight so great to transport to your dressing table if needed.

The Lighten Up Mirror arrived very well packaged in polystyrene inside the cardboard box. This is needed due to the breakable nature of the mirror. We don’t want 7 years bad luck do we?
