Favourite products - Skincare

This is the second of my favourite products post and today I'm focusing on skincare: bodycare and facial skincare.

Sure Crystal Deodorant - £2.89 (250ml)

Simply the best deodorant I've used. Lasts all day and doesn't leave those nasty white marks on dark clothing.

Veet in shower hair removal cream - £6.42 (150ml) or £11.02 (300ml)

It's the only hair removal cream I've found to work. A little goes along way so one of these tubes lasts a long time.

No 7 Cleanse and Care Eye Make-up Remover - £7.75 (100ml)

I always seem to go back to this product. I like that it's a pump dispenser, it shifts even waterproof mascara and it's not a greasy formulation which some others are which leave my eyes sore.

L'Occitane handcreams - £7.50 (75ml)

These have all the good point from the other three items: a little goes a long way, non greasy, they last a long time and they're simply the best handcreams ever!

Do you love any of these products as much as me? Or are there any others which you love? Let me know in the comments below!

Review - Veet pre-epilation spray

Veet pre-epliation spray is one of those products you buy with scepticism - "is it just a gimick? Will it actually work?" 

I found this nestled at the end of a shelf housing epilators in the electrical section of Boots. It was £5.99 for a 40ml bottle which does seem quite pricey.

The spray is clear which has a menthol scent and it aims to reduce the sensation of hair removal using an epilator. You simply spray it on to the area you wish to epilate, leave for 2-3 mins and then epilate.

It sounds like such a simple idea but it does definitely reduce the plucking sensation. Just remember not to get it on your fingers and then touch you eyes (menthol and eyes don't mix kids!)

I would recommend this to anyone regardless of whether you're an epilating newbie or a seasoned pro. As you've guessed I would buy this again but this bottle should last me for ages as I don't feel the need to use it everytime I epilate, just when I haven't done it for a while and the sensation increases.

Have you used this or do you think this will be your epilating saviour?

Review - Veet in-shower hair removal cream

This is the first of my reviews in my hair removal mini series of posts. So this review is focused on depilatories and in particular the Veet in-shower hair removal cream which is £6.29 for 150ml or £10.79 for 300ml and available from Boots.

I've been using this product for a few years now and I don't even know why I started as I hate hair removal creams, I always found that they never worked and smelt awful (thankfully scents have improved ALOT since then).

This is different to other hair removal creams as it claims to work in the shower without running off straight away. I find that this isn't the case. As soon as I step into the shower and it makes contact with water it starts to run off straight away. But I do apply this and leave it on for the maximum amount of time and then go into the shower to rinse it off using the sponge which comes with it. This way I can guarantee that it does remove hair. I also found that it works better than other hair removal creams which is why I keep buying it.

The small tube doesn't last very long so I buy the larger one. I've used all 3 fragrances and they all work as well as each other. I use this on my legs when I can't be bothered to epilate and on my bikini line as I find it easier than waxing/shaving/epilating.

Have you used this or do you use another hair removal product?
