ELLE MACPHERSON The Body Bare Firming Lotion

As well as Garnier Body Tonic this product really works on your skin. It's instantly smooth your skin. Feels a bit cold and a bit weird once you put it on but that is how it probably works. Smells really nice, lasts for quite a long. Contains citrus oil and natural extracts. The only minus is this product is discontinued now. I bought my...in Poundland for a £1 and wish I bought more. The only place I could find it was http://www.ebay.co.uk/. The same as Garnier very good value for money as it actually works.

Garnier Body Tonic Firming Lotion

I really like this product. Light, nice fresh formula makes your skin visibly firmer and tighter. It's not expensive and doesn't leave the sticky film on your skin. Would recommend to anybody as it's a really good value for money.

Organix Moroccan Argan Oil Conditioner

If you love Eco products this company is a must for you. I have to say I have got quite thick long hair so this conditioner as it's sulfate free was not the best choice for me. I had to put a lot I mean A LOT of product to be able to brush my hair after all. Used pretty much the whole bottle very quickly. I know these type of products are good for your hair as they don't have sulfates and parabens but I have to use spray conditioner after it which is double the product really. Anyway it is safe for coloured hair and restore the moisture in your hair. Have a look at the website http://www.organixhair.com/. Vanilla range smells delicious as well.

The Body Shop Spiced Vanilla

 

Products I have used: Bubble Bath, Shower Gel, Body Butter, Lip Balm, Hand Cream and Scented Candle. I must say I love vanilla scent. It's probably my favourite in a winter when it comes to body care. From the range I really liked Bubble Bath, Body Butter and Hand Cream. Body Butter and Hand Cream last for a really long time and even tho The Body Shop has got a massive range of body butters we know that some of them don't stay for to long. This range is more about scent than body care as I haven't noticed any big change when it comes to my skin. But I wasn't buying it for care I was more buying it for the scent. Scented candle does leave vanilla aroma but it is not to much so won't give you a headache. Shower Gel was just an ordinary one I have to say. Used with other stuff from the range was building up the vanilla smell but used on it's own was disappearing quite fast.  I also enjoyed Lip Balm from the range. The most disappointing product? Probably Shower Gel.

All About Eyes by Clinique

It's like when you don't know which product to buy for your eyes,this is the product you can buy without testing or looking at reviews. Creamy, quite light consistency. Reduces puffiness, helps to reduce dark circles absorbs quickly and can be also use under make-up (which honestly I never tried). Just a good eye cream to start with,when you don't know really which one to buy. It's the kind of product when you realise you have to start to use something under your eyes but don't want anything to strong yet.

SPA Wisdom Japan Adzuki Bean & Rice Wash Grains by The Body Shop

I bought this product to use it as a hand scrub. It's like a dry grain powder which you mix with some water to exfoliate your skin. The grains are really small so it makes your hands softer and smother. Can be use for the whole body and face as well. Really good product especially if you fed up with ordinary scrubs it's a nice change.

Origins Vita Zing SPF 15

Energy-boosting moisturiser with Mangosteen, gives your skin a bit of a colour, radiance, hydrates your skin and makes you look like you have had a really good night sleep. It's a good product. I started to use it in a summer and it didn't work great on my skin as it's combination to oily type but it's great in a winter tho. I use it every day in the morning with Estee Lauder Nutritious Vita-Mineral Loose Powder and if you don't have many imperfections it's works really fine. My skin is moisturised and covered enough so it doesn't shine and looks even. Best tinted moisturiser for summer but mind it's not good for combination to oily skin as it can make you shine even more.  Really like it and it's the second product from Origins so the company is worth trying.

Colour: Best for all skin types

Origins Drink-Up Intensive Overnight Mask

This is the answer if you have got dry,30+ skin or first wrinkles (like me) or you have had a really hard night and want to give your skin a boost the day after. This product works immediately on your skin. Your skin looks smoother, softer and fresher instantly which is great when you are looking for a quick remedy. Lasts forever, bought it around six months ago and still has got around 1/3 left so it's a good investment for your skin. Definitely good for the price as it's not very cheap. I use it once to twice a week as a night cream. Smells really good and it works.

Olay Age Defying Wet Cleansing Cloths

I used to use only liquid make-up removers. Recently I started to buy wipes as it's quicker to use when you don't have much time and great for travelling. I bought these ones for a price of £1.99 each. They remove all the make-up including stay-on foundations and eye shadows. Haven't tried them on waterproof mascara tho. In my opinion they are definitely to expensive. I didn't notice any anti-ageing results to be honest. They work for me as any other less expensive ones.

Sephora White Praline/Praline Blanche

This is the set I got from my best friend last winter period.Big round bottle is a shower/bath gel which is finished and the tube is a sparkly lotion. I have to say it was the best cosmetic gift ever. I absolutely loved it,so did my friend. She was very disappointed she didn't buy it for herself. We tried to get it on Internet but even French Sephora didn't have it :-(. Used together last all day.The lotion gives your skin a bit of a sparkle but not to much,can be used during the day as well. I was the best scent I ever used. A bit of a chocolate,sweet,candy perfect for winter. I still have got a bit of a lotion left and it's been over a year now. Use it for special occasions tho. I absolutely love it,so Sephora bring it back to us please!
