Review - Caudalie Vinexpert radiance day fluid

This Caudalie radiance day fluid came in one of my Feel Unique's Beauty Boxes and as I hadn't tried anything from this brand before I was quite excited to use it.

Being a fluid it is lighter than a cream so it suits my skin really well as creams can sometimes sit quite heavy on my face. It also contains SPF 10 which is ok for autumn, winter and spring but in the summer this wouldn't be my first choice of product as the SPF is quite low.

It has a nice clean scent which is slightly fruity but it's not overpowering. Even though it has a lighter formulation it moisturised my skin really well and didn't dry it out. It also left my face feeling lovely and soft and not tacky like others can.

I don't think I would buy the full sized product as I've used other products that work just as well that are cheaper. The full sized 30ml product is £30.60 and available from Feel Unique.

Review - Mitchell and Peach shower gel

In the first Jolie Box was a little sample bottle of a shower gel I was very excited about trying. It was from a brand I had never heard of before, Mitchell and Peach. The packaging is very reminiscent of Jo Malone  and I envisaged it would be scented with gorgeous floral essential oils.

All I can say is that after the all important sniff test I was left feeling quite disappointed. It had a slight hint of essential oils but not like I'd imagined.

Next I popped to the shower and things didn't get any better. It did foam up ok but it wasn't anything special. I get a better shower experience using low end shower products and considering the full sized 250ml product is priced at £20 I won't be buying it but if you want to try it it's available to buy online here.

The month that was - January

This month feels like it's just gone on and on and on! I finally got rid of my annoying cough that I had since before christmas only to then get another cold! I had 2 days off work because I felt so rubbish :-(

I also decided to cancel my Feel Unique beauty box after Januarys one was very dissapointing. How much skincare stuff do they think you want in a single box?

Even though I'm meant to be on a diet as I want to loose a stone by the end of June I have been eating my pink and white mice, I still haven't finished the tub, and I bought a mini egg dessert! Love these! Oh and I bought a box of Pop Tarts which helped me feel better when I was off work!

After moving back home about 5 months ago I finally got round to putting my picture up in my room and it's got pride of place above my bed.

This month I also went on a spending ban which went well, I did spend a little last week but I sold some things on eBay so I think this is allowed! I also had a job interview at a small hospital which is slightly nearer to where I live but I didn't get the job :-( never mind. Hope you had a good month!
