Product Review: DECLÉOR Prolagene Lift – Intense Youth Concentrate

DECLÉOR Prolagene Lift - Intense Youth Concentrate Review Image

I have heard a lot of good things about DECLÉOR products but I never had the opportunity to try the products until some weeks ago. For my first DECLÉOR product, I decided to try a serum as my last serum just ran out. I choose the DECLÉOR Prolagene Lift – Intense Youth Concentrate to review, and it has been an amazing product. My first thoughts when I received the product was, how pretty and ‘clean’ the bottle was, and how I couldn’t wait to try this serum out for myself.

DECLÉOR Prolagene Lift – Intense Youth Concentrate Description –

A powerful, intensive firming treatment providing an instant and long-term lift

Especially formulated for mature skin that lacks firmness, this light, delicately scented concentrate delivers an immediate and noticeable lift. Containing the highest concentration of L-Proline Complex, it re-activates and boosts collagen production and tightens and strengthens the structure of the skin to act like a “cell lift”. Other key active ingredients include Iris Essential Oil to boost and protect the skin’s elasticity and suppleness, Hyaluronic Acids to fill in wrinkles both on the surface of the skin and deeper down, and a botanical tensing agent and micro-algae to tighten and smooth the epidermis. With no colouring agents or mineral oils, this gentle yet effective formulation is ideal to use on all skin types, including those with sensitive skin.

How to use

  1. Use as a 3 week intensive duo treatment in the morning and evening.  After cleansing, apply 2 drops to a cleansed face.

My thoughts are below:

PROS

  1. I love the packaging like I mentioned already.
  2. I love the light fragrance of this product. It smells so good.
  3. I have used it every morning and every night, on a cleansed face. I apply this serum just before I apply my moisturiser, and my skin looks a lot brighter and smoother now. I can see a massive difference in my skin.
  4. My face and neck feel well moisturised after applying this product.
  5. This serum helps to improve my skin elasticity and fullness.
  6. This serum is specially formulated for mature skin, but all skin types and tones can use it as well, which is fab.
  7. It is gentle enough to use on the sensitive skin. I know that because I have a sensitive skin and this product is gentle.
  8. It is a 30ml bottle, but you only need to use 2 drops morning, and 2 drops at night, so it goes a long way.
  9. This serum wakes up your face, and gives you a face lift!

CONS

  1. Some may find this DECLÉOR Prolagene Lift – Intense Youth Concentrate pricey at £62 for a 30ml bottle, but I believe it is worth every penny. You get what you pay for when it comes to skin care products. And I have realised that as far as skin care products are concerned, the more money you spend, the better the skin care product. However, you can grab this product at Beautifully Gorgeous (link above) for £51, saving you £11.

Have you tried this DECLÉOR Prolagene Lift – Intense Youth Concentrate before? What are your thoughts on this serum?

Thanks for reading and have a fantastic day!

Product Review: Urban Decay Meltdown Makeup Remover*

Urban Decay Meltdown Makeup Remover Image

 

This year, I made a vow to myself to try more beauty products. There were some brands I have heard only good things about, Urban Decay being one of them, so I was eager to try out some of their products. I got this Urban Decay Meltdown Makeup Remover some months ago, from the local Debenhams for £18, while holidaying in Essex, and I am proud to say this is my very first Urban Decay product. I have never tried any product from the brand, so I was happy to try this, to see what the hype is about.

Here is the product description:

You love our longest-lasting products, but how do you take them off?! This nourishing formula will ensure that makeup removal doesn’t throw you into fits.You love Urban Decay’s longest-lasting products, but how do you take them off?! This formula will ensure that makeup removal doesn’t throw you into fits.

Sometimes you need a makeup remover that’s as mighty as the most powerful products in your beauty arsenal, which is why Urban Decay created Meltdown! This stuff can take down Urban Decay’s longest-lasting products.
This creamy gel is non-greasy, so you don’t have to wash off any residue after you use it, and the light fragrance is uplifting but never obtrusive.

Fill Weight: 73.9ml

Here are my thoughts on this product:
PROS
1. It is very convenient to use. No need to use water. All you need is some cotton wool or tissue.
2. It feels so good on the skin. Non-greasy and non-sticky.
3. I like the light fragrance.
4. It is quite affordable at £18 for a 73.9ml tube.
5. I love the packaging, so pretty.
6. It is easily accessible. You can grab 1 in most department stores.
7. It has not been tested on animals.
Urban Decay Review
CONS
1. I had to use quite a bit to get all traces of makeup off my face, but then again, I had on heavy makeup on the few times I used this.
2. The product stings when you have on too much.
This product is OK. I think I prefer face washes/cleansers, when it comes to removing makeup, so I may be biased in thinking this Urban Decay Meltdown Makeup Remover did not live up to its hype. I won’t be buying this again, but I recommend it to anyone who puts on light makeup. This product will get it all off in seconds.

Thanks for reading.

How I Grew My Blog Following to 29,000 & Counting

I have had a couple of people ask me how I grew my blog following so I decided to write-up a post explaining how I did, what blog promotions worked for me, and what tips you should consider trying. Grab a cuppa, and enjoy the read…….

Christmas Night In

Posting Regularly

I blog pretty much everyday, multiple times on some days, and that helps improve my blog following, as there is always a new post to attract more eyeballs to my blog, and most of those eyeballs usually stay on as followers. I know posting so regularly doesn’t work for some bloggers, but it works brilliantly for me.

Posting a Varied Content

Fashion and Style Police started off as a niche blog. It was all fashion back in the day, but now, it is 60% fashion, 20% beauty, 10% lifestyle and 10% blogging tips, at the moment, and I love it this way. I enjoy writing about various topics, I find it interesting and engaging, and it helps attract more blog readers who eventually become followers.

My blog followers follow me for various reasons. Some enjoy reading anything I publish, some follow me to get updates on my outfit and fashion posts, some are here for the product reviews and beauty posts, while some follow to get heads up on my lifestyle/blogging posts. My varied posts bring in more readers, as people are usually interested in various topics. Running a varied blog gets me more followers. It may not work for niche blogs, but it works fine for me.

Facebook Ad Promotions

I have previously written about how Facebook ad promotions helped grow my Facebook blog page, and it is still growing. I currently have over 16,000 fans on my page. I have had this page since I set up the blog over 3 years ago. However, once I started to run monthly Facebook ads, I started to see a spike in my followers. The beauty of Facebook ad promotions is that you can set your budget to as little as £3, and target a specific audience. For as little as £7, I can get over 500 new likes, once I target my audience right.

When targeting, I look out for people who will have interest in the kind of blog posts I write. It works like magic for me.

Read, Comment and Follow Other Blogs

I read, comment and follow loads of blogs, and many reciprocate. However, I should say I only follow blogs/bloggers I truly have an interest in. I don’t do follow for follow, I don’t expect every blogger I follow to follow me back, but I do unfollow those bloggers that do not respond to genuine tweets or comments, I find that so rude.

Being Social Online

I try to engage with my followers online. I find that the more I engage on social media, especially on Twitter and Instagram, the more followers I get. Being social in a good way, does help.

So there you have it, some of the ways I have grown my blog following. How have you grown yours? What tips have worked for you? Drop me a comment, let’s chat.

Also, my book – How to Cash In as a Blogger, is currently FREE on Amazon for the next 48 hours, so start downloading.

Thanks for reading and have a lovely week ahead.
