As someone who used to work in adult retail, I've come across my fair share of intimate lubricants - as well as helping to develop some own brands.
After all of these years, nothing is yet to come close to the Sliquid range and in particular - their organics range.
Flavour free, scent free and incredibly effective, they lack the stickiness other products have and the feeling of using them is much more natural than the market leader offerings.
Add to that sophisticated packaging that looks more like a beauty product, vegan ingredients and a sugar / paraben free formula - and it's a match made in heaven for anyone who enjoys an active sex life.
If you've had troubles with other lubes upsetting your lady garden qi or drying out / becoming sticky, Sliquid should be your next purchase!

The iconic ruby woo lip liner is an absolute must have for bombshells, sirens, pin-ups and other fans of a red-lipped smile.
It's formula remains unbeaten for me, with no other brand managing to tempt me away from this makeup bag stalwart - and I've foolishly tried on many occasions!
This is more than just a lip liner, it works as a full-lip coverage pencil that gives you staying power, even under gloss. I rarely wear red lipstick, much preferring this carefully applied liner for the perfect pout 💋😍

I'd read lots of reviews for this eye cream and as someone with dark circles and puffiness, I thought I was worth a shot! I'm now on my 4th tube and it's become a regular part of my skincare routine.
For an eye cream, the tube size is really generous. You get 30ml of product and it lasts ages as you don't need a lot!
I apply it by gently dabbing it under the eye and over the eyelid and browbone straight after cleansing/toning, then apply my day/night cream around it.
I'd say there's been a noticeable difference in how dark my circles are. It hasn't created miracles but at times it really did look like my eyes were bruised, and that's not been a thing for a while!
I'm impressed that I've noticed a difference considering how cheap it is, I've tried eye creams before that cost a lot more and given up because they were in effective (this was especially true during the roll-on eye cream phase!)
If you have major eye issues this might be one to pass on, but for those who don't yet quite enough sleep or who have early signs of aging, it's a great first eye cream!

Neal's yard geranium & orange hand cream

I have really sensitive skin on my hands, so they tend to dry out and get sore when I do washing up and housework. I finally gave in and decided to start using a handcream and picked up some cheap stuff at the local supermarket.
I didn't use it for long as the greasiness drove me mad. Pretty soon I was back to having dry hands instead of leaving greasy marks on my clothes, keyboard and phone.
A friend gave me a set of 4 mini hand creams to try from Neal's Yard including the geranium and orange - the first I'm trying. It says it moisturises and softens with the uplifting event of rose geranium and orange essential oil.
The fragrance is lovely. Soft, subtle and pleasant. And the cream is amazing! It absorbs quickly and has quickly improved the skin on my hands, even callouses are softer! The biggest difference is between the fingers, the skin would often get dry and sometimes bumpy if I did a lot of washing up over the course of a few days. That's all gone! I just have lovely, smooth hands!
I found it much less greasy than the other cream I tried, it absorbed much quicker and maybe even had a better moisturising effect!
I wasn't familiar with Neal's yard before but I wouldn't hesitate to buy this cream again.

I'd read so many good things about this clinically proven anti wrinkle day cream that I was super excited to try it. I picked up a 15ml sample which gave me around 2 weeks of product - the perfect test as results are supposed to be visible within 14 days.
I applied every day after using a hot cloth cleanser in the shower. I found it left my skin feeling drier than my usual retinol cream, but it did appear radiant after use! Sadly a couple of hours after application, my skin felt quite dry and I ended up applying hand cream on the go on one occasion!
Overall I like the cream, but feel a night version might be better - it could stand to be more hydrating. I didn't see any signs of it improving early signs of fine lines, but at 35 I don't have a huge amount. Someone older may see more pronounced results.
Overall I think it's worth trying this cream, but it's worth getting a sample first! Try following them on Facebook as I've seen a few, this was the first I'd really wanted to try.
I'm a little disappointed with it as a stand alone day cream but I'd be willing to give it another go as part of a night time routine.
