Haul Part 2 | Skin, body, hair.




I recently posted my first part of my haul, and now I give to you the second instalment. There is four items made up from skin, body and hair products which all have very different reviews. I am quite proud that considering skincare is my favourite there isn't a hefty heap of that.


Starting with a bargain, the Charles Worthington Mineral Hair Rescue with argan oil. Recently my hair has been feeling a bit limp and lifeless so whilst I wait for my haircut to come around I went looking for a hair masque which would give it a bit of added moisture. So far I have only used this once; on the plus side it hasn't weighed my hair down or made it look heavy like I was afraid of, but unfortunately I haven't noticed much change... apart from making my hair smell incredible. It may have added a bit of shine but nothing worth shouting about, I need to try this a few more times. I shall get back to you on this one.
The amazing gem of the group, my new gorgeous pot of Emma Hardie Cleansing Moringa Balm. This has caught my eye for a while so when I got paid this was first on the hitlist. The packaging is ultra luxe and the product inside certainly doesn't disappoint either. A tiny bit of this massaged into damp skin goes a long way and leaves my skin smelling lemony and fresh, feeling 100% clean, and me feeling like a new woman.


The Origins GinZing eye cream promises to brighten and de-puff around your eyes, after hunting for a new eye cream this sounded perfect. After several uses I found that it actually made my under eyes darker, just me? But apart from this I really enjoy it, the formula is cream and goes on smoothly leaving my under eyes soft ready for my concealer. It doesn't have much of a scent... fortunately. I love the orange colour of dainty little pot in my stash of skincare.
If you pay any attention to adverts then you will know the Feel Unique offer of spending £30 to receive a free St Tropez Gradual Tan Firming Lotion*. This says to tan, tone, firm and moisturize in 1 product, and after not having tried any St Tropez products previously I was unaware of how their products performed. I like products which give instant gratification, and for the tanning part I didn't get this... I shall keep applying daily to try and build up the bronzed skin. I have found that it has firmed and moisturized my skin nicely... leaving a scent that I'm not crazy about.
