Yankee candle hand lotion in CUCUMBER & CANTALOPE


Yankee candle do many yummy smelling candles as most of you know and so here is one of their lotions. Most definitely as described a milky melon like scent. It was my mums but she handed it to me to finish which it almost is!! Its quite a runny texture but I'm not sure weather its just this one....you know because melons are quite watery in nature haha! I haven't seen this in stores any more in the UK which is so so sad! If you find it grab one.

Olay moisturiser with a touch of maxfactor foundation


Product rave time!!! This product is basically a tinted moisturiser due to the fact that foundation has been added to a moisturiser. It is the best tinted moisturiser I have tried to date....and I am being very serious here. Every aspect of it is perfect. It smells really pretty (if that can be a smell haha), glides onto your skin like a dream, blends like butter, provides a dewy glow and is as sheer as you will ever need a tinted moisturiser to be. I got it in superdrug when it first came out and I was soo excited that I got it in the shade fair as it was the only one not sold out! Fair is not my shade generally, but here it worked out like a true skin match. Fair is absolutely my shade!! I was so pleased. It does say that it also has SPF of 15 but I don't see any qualities of a greasy sunblock yay!

Homedics FAC 200 facial care kit


Ok so I bought this item to try out an inexpensive microdermabrasion home kit, it didn't work! Yes I charged it for the recommended amount of time but still it did not work. I think that the battery was faulty like many of the other reviewers for this item have mentioned. So perhaps its not such a good brand? It looked professional though haha! It came with a toner, moisturiser,cleanser and of course microdermabrasion cream.I guess you get what you pay for....having said that I think I should just go for the luxe de luxe of all microdermabrasion kits CLARISONIC! As soon as I have saved up the cash for it of course. Look out for reviews in a few weeks time :)
