Palmers New Coconut Oil Formula Range

You may well remember last week I posted about the new body lotion I had been using and how I had fallen madly in love with it! (here)
Well since then the lovely people at Palmers have sent me more of the new range to have a little goosey gander at - exciting right? #thankyou

I am obsessed with coconut oil and this range is yet again another huge HIT for Palmers in my opinion!

 I thought it was only fair that I gave you a little look at the collection that has been released....
Left to Right :
Palmers Coconut Oil Formula Body Oil*, Body Lotion*, Body Cream* & Head Cream*

The body oil is something I probably wouldn't normally pick up when shopping for myself - I'm always drawn more to lotions and things that I know will sink it's the skin and not leave it greasy. Well, I am so glad I've managed to try something different here as my thoughts on oils has completely changed. This stuff is lovely and perfect for popping on before leaving the house when I've got my legs out!

The body lotion I have already talked about in my previous post so you can read all about that right..... here!

The thickest of the bunch is the body cream. In a 125g tub just a tiny bit of this rich cream goes a whole long way. A little blob covers my whole arm (even my bingo wings!) and it's only £5 - cheaper than the body shop right?! This is perfect for helping the skin stay smooth and hydrated - and keep that tan! (which I WILL get this year!)

Now the product I know that I am going to use the most - the hand cream. My hands get so, so dry - especially with the amount of hand gel I use daily. This is the perfect product to have in my handbag 24/7 and it smells divine! 

So there's a little sneak peek for you - this range is out NOW and I highly recommend it to all your coconut lovers!

Montagne Jeunesse NEW Witch Hazel Wonder Mask Review

So you know how much I love these sachets right? So can you imagine how excited I was when the lovely people at MJ (that's Montagne Jeunesse obviously) conacted me and asked if I wanted to try out one of their new masks!
Ummmm YES please is what I said in a flash and I was sent this Witch Hazel Wonder to try out.

Witch Hazel is in ingredident I have had alot of experience with. I remember my Mum going on and on about it when I was younger for lots of different things, so this wasn't my first meeting.

With Aloe Vera I knew this wasn't going to be harsh on my skin but soothing! Whilst preping for Bestival earlier on in the week I decided  I had a spare few minutes to try this sachet out and give my skin a little love!

After using Liz Earle's Cleanse and polish to remove my make-up and cleanse my face I popped an even layer of this mask and let it set for 15/20 minutes.
This mask set alot quicker than others I have tried and I really liked it - I love the feeling of it haha!
After 15 minutes I removed the mask with warm water and a flannel. It was a little hard to get off at tifrst ut once dampened it wiped off fine.
My skin was left feeling hydrated and soft and the redness of a few blemishes seemed to have been reduced too!

Another fab mask from MJ ... if you have sensitive skin this mask would be great for you, alot less harsh than others from them and a fantastic cleanser!

Rodial Instaglam Skin Tint Capri (Light) Review

Hello lovely ones! Hope you are all well and having a good week so far! Today I have a review for you all from that new brand in my life Rodial.
You may remember my post about the fabulous Glamstick last week and I'm back with another make-up product from them in the form of a skin tint!


This is the Instaglam skin tint in the shade Capri (light.)
Rodial Instaglam Skin Tint Capri (Light)*
First up, obsessed with this product's name. I'm an Instagram hoe so the fact this is called Instaglam just makes me happy!

It is a skin tint.... aka a tinted moisturiser/BB cream type product! I was a little worried about the shade when I first got my hands on it as it is the lightest one in the collection but it is actually turned out alot better than I was expecting.

It comes in a professional loooking  40ml tube with a snazzy silver mirrored lid! I'm pretty lucky with my skin so I don't mind wearing something that isn't high coverage, this is said to be medium coverage and I would agree with that.
 I've been wearing this a couple of times a week when I haven't been upto much and not after  full-on look.
The texture is smooth, soft and creamy like a moisturiser and glides onto the skin with ease.

I've found I need to use a fair bit each time to get my desired coverage but it does give me a nice, even look.
It doesn't cover my bag under my eyes I can tell you that, I definitely need concealer alongside this if I want some good coverage in that area but everything else like redness and freckles are covered easily and evenly.
Bloomin lipstick swatches staying on my hand! Proper long-lasting those!

Although it leaves my skin feeling really smooth it does leave quite a shine on my skin which I'm not surprised by, as of it's consistency so if you are prone to oily/shiny skin this probably won't help you BUT if you suffer with dry and dehydrated skin this would be fab!

To be honest I've not noticed my 'lines/wrinkles' being plumped that much like it promises but my skin does feel very even and soft. It might work better and be more noticeable on more mature skin maybe?

This is the perfect product for me for the hot summer weather, alot lighter and fresher than my usual foundations and it has an SPF 30 which is great you are going to be outside for the majority of the day - beach/festival/holiday.
 I will definitely be taking this to Florida with me but I don't think I'll be able to wear it for that long as once I have a tan it will be way too light.

I do have one problem with this product and that is the price. This retails at £45 which for what it is, I would say is alot. I think £20 would be sufficient!
You can see this beauty here on Rodial's website! I'm really intrigued now to try some more products from this brand - I've heard such amazing things about their skincare and a certain boob cream which sounds awesome, so keep your eyes peeled as I'm sure they'll be more reviews coming your way soon!
