I’ve fallen in love with this new shampoo + conditioner combo from the very first wash!
My hair is in awful condition and I always end up spending a lot of money on leave-in treatments, but after just one wash with this combo I’m hooked. My hair felt like it belonged to someone else! No split ends, no frizz, just smooth looking shine!
It is a bit more expensive than your bog-standard shampoo/conditioner and it didn't lather up as much as some, but I was very happy with the outcome!
“Designed to help with hair breakage, this strengthening, sulfate free shampoo leaves your hair looking thicker, stronger and healthier, wash after wash.” - Dove

It makes your skin feel great from the moment it's applied. It’s instantly absorbed and leaves your skin feeling super refreshed! I love these products that don’t just sit atop your skin, but get to work immediately where it counts!

Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Max Night Hydrating Moisturizer

I have tried A LOT of different skincare products, but I think I’ve just found my favourite of all!
What They Say…
🌙 The Olay Retinol24 formula, with Vitamin B3 + Retinoids complex, delivers visible improvements in fine lines & wrinkles, smoothness, brightness, firming, dark spots, and pores with no additional fillers, fragrances, or dyes. Plus it hydrates for 24 hours!
🌙 You can use both the serum and moisturiser products, but the collection was designed to be a ‘pick and choose’ collection. Meaning, they developed equally effective products so you can choose what works best with your current routine.
What I Say…
🌝 These products have it all. I don’t need one product for my fine lines and one for my pores, as both the serum and moisturiser make my skin feel better in so many ways!
🌝 I LOVE the way my skin feels the moment I’ve applied these products! I can’t stop touching my face, which is probably not a good thing!
🌝 Perfect for sensitive skin if you don’t deal with fragrances very well!
🌝 And my favourite thing of all about this collection!?! They don’t try to sell you everything! If you already have a serum or a moisturiser that you love, just choose one of the products and slot it into your existing routine. I tried the serum and the moisturiser separately and they are both great, but seeing as I really loved them I eventually went on to use both products from this collection. Serum and then moisturiser!
“Both the serum and the moisturiser have the same formula, but they differ in texture and form. The serum is more liquid, and will appeal to people that like lighter textures while the cream is best for a heavier, silky feeling!” - If I had to choose one, it would be the serum! You can see from all my other reviews that I enjoy the less is more sensation on my skin!

Laura Mercier has a huge range of primers available, with everything from options designed to illuminate your skin, to those that are designed to hydrate it. Something for everyone!
I recently had the opportunity to try out one of these award winning primers! And the one I tried…
***Laura Mercier - Pure Canvas Primer - Blurring***
I’ve tried blurring creams before, but this is the first one that actually works well with make-up, rather than just as a stand alone product.
This primer acts just like the beauty settings on your phone and gives your skin a soft focus in real life. It blurs your skin whilst also creating a matte appearance, therefore creating the perfect complexion, or blank canvas on which to apply make-up!
In addition to the immediate results, the Blurring Primer also contains microalgae designed to condition the skin with ongoing use.

This product is super expensive to buy and you only get a very small amount. Sometimes this is worth it, but I'm not sure I'll spend that much on this one. I only tried a small sample of this product but it didn't have the instant gratification I like when applying skincare. I like something that leaves my skin feeling better instantly, but this didn't have any wow factor at all. Maybe the long term effects are great, but I've found so many cheaper products that work and feel great I wouldn't bother splashing out the cash here. (I used the product just at night after cleansing and used moisturiser over the top.) -

I only got to try a small sample of this particular product so I can't comment on the long term effects, but I don't think I'll be trying it out any further. I like products that leave my skin feeling amazing after the first application. Those that leave your skin feeling instantly smoother and you just can't stop touching your face? But this had no wow factor at all on a single application. However, I have to say I really did enjoy the smell! Very subtle, but noticeable when applying. -
Kraft Hazelnut Spread with Cocoa

This spread was absolutely delicious! And great on toast! I tried the regular one, but there’s also 45% less sugar or crunchy options! I need to get my hands on the crunchy spread next time!
Highly recommend you try! They’re also low in saturated fat and prepared in Canada!
Only thing I really disapprove of is their lack of transparency when it comes to sustainability! They go out of their way to point out that this product contains no palm oil, but the small print explains that the absence of palm oil does not imply a product is more sustainable than products with palm oil! Confusing or what?!?

What They Say:
-Softens appearance of fine lines and wrinkles✅
-Gives a smooth and mattified appearance to the skin✅
-Diffuses the appearance of enlarged pores and shine✅
Truth be told, it does all these things when applied straight onto moisturised skin. For the no makeup kinda girl, this stuff really does act like your camera’s beauty filter. And it lasts! Keeping your skin looking at its best! It even works well if you add powder makeup on top!
BUT… (and here’s the bummer)… on the occasions where I actually care what I look like and would use this product, I would like to wear it with my favourite foundation. According to the packet instructions, the cream is to be applied on top of liquid foundation. So this is exactly what I did!
Unfortunately, this left me with very patchy makeup, which I had to apply more foundation on top of, which then looked cakey! I was trying so hard to pat it on rather than rub it in, but as soon as it came into contact with my skin and foundation, it was a heavy mess!
So…
If you’ll be wearing this au naturel, go for it, it’s great!
If you want this to wear with makeup, look elsewhere!
