BIOeffect EGF Serum: Review

Hey bloggers.
Long time no speak.

I promise that I have been busy preparing lots of lovely new beauty posts for the next few weeks.
This is just one of many reviews that are coming up.

Now a few months ago I talked about how great serums were and how I have started to incorporate them into my skin care routine.
You can read the post here.

Well a few weeks ago I got sent this.
BIOeffect EGF Serum.

It claims that.

BIOEFFECT EGF Serum is a next-generation anti-ageing serum that improves the appearance and health of your skin by encouraging the skin to repair its own cells. Its key ingredient is Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), a substance which occurs naturally in human skin and which has the ability to speed up the rate of cell turnover within the skin.

Cellular activators are proteins that are vital for the maintenance and repair of skin cells. With age the level of these cellular activators within our skin decreases. Our skin renews itself less frequently, and begins to look less radiant and more wrinkled. Regular, once or twice daily use of BIOEFFECT EGF Serum reverses this process and gives visible dramatic improvements within weeks.

Well I may be in my mid twenties but anything that claims to make my skin look fresher and even younger. I will happily use.

The smell of BIOeffect was lovely just a clean, fresh smell. So it didn't effect any of the smells of my other beauty products. The consistency was a cross between a water and gel base.

What I loved about BIOeffect Serum was how little you needed and it was so moisturising that I didn't even need to use a night cream on top and when I woke up there was no residue on my face. A sign that it properly soaked into my skin. 

Now in the month that I used the BIOeffect serum, I didn't get any compliments on my skin but I personally think my skin looked fresher, more renewed and some lines softened.

But sadly one problem occurs with BIOeffect Serum.
The price. 

I had a 3ml size and it should of been £30. 

The full size of 15ml is £125!

Now I can barely afford my bus fare these days.
So £125 for a serum is downright outrageous, especially in a time of recession. 

So sadly until I find a rich man.
BIOeffect EGF Serum will be staying on the shelf. 

Which is a shame because I would recommend it to anyone. 

How ever if you do have a bit of cash. It is worth the investment.

Sleek pout paints review.

Anyone who reads my blog posts will know I am not the biggest fan of my lips. 

Lets just say I wasn't blessed in the Angelina Jolie department.

So the combination of a thin top lip has always made me quite wary of lipstick (Especially bright coloured lipstick). So I usually tend to stick to lip gloss to make my lips seem bigger. 

But for the last few weeks I have heard a lot of buzz around Sleek pout paints.

Which are heavily pigmented lip colours that can be mixed together to create your own customized lip colour.

And after waiting an age for them to appear in the shops.

I found one. 

I tried 154 in Mauve over.

Which is a beautiful pinky/purple. 

What I love about pout paints is how little you need to use and you can build up the depth of colour has you go. 

Not only can you mix Pout paints with other colours of pout paints.
You can use other lip gloss colours to create a colour unique to you.

The downsides to pout paints are that they take ages to dry resulting in things like this happening.

And because it has a nib instead of a brush, it's hard to get a perfect finish which for my thin lips. I really need.

But the colour takes ages to wear off and in the last few days my pout paint has gave me plenty of compliments by friends on my new make up. 

Plus by mixing it with lip gloss I have had a different lip look everyday with just a £5 lipstick.

Surely here the pro's very much outweigh the cons. 

You can buy Sleek from Superdrug or at Sleek online.

Lush retro order.

So a few weeks ago I ordered some retro products from Lush.
I'm very excited to try them out but I thought I would show you first what I bought.
Then I can give a review in a later blog post.


First two products are bubble bars.
Now I haven't used these ones in years. So I'm very excited to try them out again.
The white one is Ice Hotel
A mixture of mint and Lavender.
So calms you down whilst refreshing you at the same time.




























The pink one is It's a date.
(I could do with a real one at the moment but the bubble bar will have to suffice)
Is a pink fruity concoction, with tangerine oil and it even has a little piece of date on the top.
Pretty.
Though so far it has dyed half my stuff pink.
Has you can see from the other photos.


The shower gel is Tramp.
Now I used to use Tramp years ago and I'm looking forward to using it again.
A Melissa and patchouli combination that's quite hard to describe in words, but it's green and called tramp.
What more can you ask for really?


The body lotion is my favourite and I am still gutted that Lush ever discontinued it.
Potion.
Full of Rose and Tangerine oil. It's smells divine.
I wish Lush made a perfume in it because this is definitely my signature smell and it moisturises like a dream.


So expect a more detailed review in a couple of weeks but I'm so excited to try these products out. That I might just have to run myself a bath right now...

Garnier Nutrisse Ultra color: Review.

Now in the nine years I have dyed my hair. It has been a fast array of colours.
From Orange.


Blue/Black.


Red.


Pink.


And even multi coloured.


But I realised that my true hair colour will always be blonde.
So for the last six months I have been back to my stereotypical blonde ways and the dye I have been using to do it is Garnier Nutrisse Ultra color in Ice Blonde.


Now it's fantastic for me because it lightens my very dark blonde roots, without me having to use a pre-lightener before hand. Win.

Here is some classy photos of me looking attractive whilst the dye is on my head. (That was sarcasm by the way)






This is the end result of thirty minutes of hair dye.


Now I find the Garnier Nutrisse is great for blondes. It keeps my hair hydrated. (Mainly by the intense conditioner you put on after dye-ing your hair) and I find that I only have to use it ever six weeks or so.
I have very thin and easily breakable hair. So to find a decent hair dye that looks after my hair, dyes my very dark roots, is affordable and doesn't look like a fake blonde. Is hard to find.

But I think I have definitely found all of the above in Garnier Nutrisse.
You can find Garnier Nutrisse in major supermarkets, Boots and Superdrug.

Have you tried Garnier Nutrisse Ultra color?
Did it work for you?
