Product Review – NYX Blotting Paper & Makeup Brush Cleaner

June 14, 2018 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , , , 22 Comments

Summer is here and I am loving the long sunny days. A new season usually means new beauty products. It is also a great time to get some stunning photos taken. I found some great Photobox Discount Codes and Vouchers and I am eager to get some personalised Photo Packs in time for Father’s Day this Sunday. Click here for more information.

The warm weather also means I need my blotting paper more than ever!  So I have quickly placed an order for NYX Fresh Face Blotting Paper, after running out of my old pack some days ago. I also decided to grab the NYX Makeup Brush Cleaner since my makeup brushes were in need of a deep clean.

Product Review – Avon Cleansers

June 3, 2018 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , , , 19 Comments

I have recently started using Avon products, and I must confess liking them. Today, I bring to you an Avon Cleansers review post. I have been using Avon True Nutra effects Micellar Cleansing Water and Anew Clean Anti Ageing 3 in 1 Cleansing Water, and I have a bit to say about these products.

 

Avon True Nutra Effects Micellar Cleansing Water £4

It was my first time using a Micellar Cleansing Water Product and I was well impressed. Avon True Nutra Effect Micellar Cleansing Water promises to gently and effectively remove make-up on all skin types. Here are my thoughts on the product.

 

PROS
  1. It is super affordable at £4 for a 200ml bottle.
  2. I love the simple packaging.
  3. This product is very easy to use with some cotton wool. A little goes a long way.
  4. It works for all skin types, and all over the face.
  5. This Micellar Cleansing Water is formulated with Active Seed Complex featuring vitamin E and chia seed extract. It is also formulated with micelles that act like magnets to remove make-up and impurities without drying skin.
  6. It gently and thoroughly removes makeup and all impurities.

 

CONS

None

 

Anew Anti-Ageing 3-in-1 Cleansing Water £6.50

Anew Anti-Aging 3-in-1 Cleansing Water promises to gently cleanse entire face and neck to clear the skin of dirt, oil and impurities. Here are my thoughts on this Cleansing Water.

 

PROS
  1. There is no need to rinse, which is convenient.
  2. This Cleansing Water has Isotonic Water Complex to attract and maintain moisture within the skin.
  3. It is great for all skin types.
  4. I like the price tag of £6.50 for a 200ml bottle.
  5. Good to have a 3-in-1 product.

 

CONS
  1. I don’t like the sticky texture of my skin after using this cleansing water. I always feel like I need to rinse my face.

Overall, both Avon products are great. I love the Nutra Effects Micellar Cleansing Water a lot. It is an amazing makeup remover product and I will buy it over and over again.

The Anew Anti-Aging Cleansing Water is also a good product but I won’t be buying it again because I don’t like the way my skin feels after using it. The Nutra Effects Micellar Cleansing Water suits my skin better.

Fashion and Style Police Reviews Shiseido

April 30, 2018 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , , , , 10 Comments

Regular readers of Fashion and Style Police would know my love for Japanese skincare products. And how I have been busy lately trying them out. I got a couple of skincare products thanks to M’s trip to Japan, and these Shiseido products are some of them. Prior to trying out these products, I have heard a lot about Shiseido, so the name rang a bell as soon as I saw the products. But this is my first time actually trying products from the brand.

Essential Energy Moisturising Cream £59

The Essential Energy Moisturizing Cream by the Japanese brand – Shisedo, promises to leave the skin looking and feeling moisturised, smooth and luminous.

This Shisedo Essential Energy Day Emulsion features ReNeura Technology™, which helps make skin more responsive to its skincare benefits. This product leaves the skin hydrated.

 

Essential Energy Moisturizing Gel Cream £53.10

Shisedo Essential Energy Moisturizing Gel Cream also features ReNeura Technology™. It helps elevate the effectiveness of a moisturizing and pro-radiance active ingredient complex to the highest level.

Here are my thoughts on these skincare products.

 

PROS
  1. These Shiseido skincare products are great in tackling the first signs of ageing.
  2. They are great for all skin types.
  3. The products moisturise the skin, leaving art looking hydrated and vibrant.
  4. I really like the compact packaging.
  5. The products keep the skin protected from hazards throughout the day.
  6. You can grab these products in most beauty stores and online shops.
  7. They are paragon and mineral oil free.

 

CONS
  1. They are quite pricey.

 

Overall, I would recommend these Shiseido products to women over 30 dealing with the first signs of ageing. I think these skincare products are quite useful, and they do the job perfectly. So it makes sense shopping Shiseido if you can afford to. The products come with a hefty price tag but when it comes to skincare, I have had to learn that you get what you pay for. Quality skincare does not come cheap. And the older we get, the more money we may have to spend on our skincare products.

 

What do you think of these Shiseido products? Have you used any of them before?
