I got some excellent freebies from magazines like Glamour, Red Magazine, In style this month, and there will be some fabulous magazine freebies next month too.

It comes with REN skincare set, which contains 3 sample sized products: Vetiver v7 Hand and Body Cream (15ml), Hydra-Calm Global Protection Day Cream (15ml) and Active7 Radiant Eye Gel (3ml). Worth £16 total.

I have used REN Jojoba Microbead Purifying Facial Polish and really love it. So I am looking forward to try other REN skin products, also this little skin care set is great for travel bag.


Glamour Magazine (£2.00)--out July 5th
The free Balance Me skin care products are with next month's Glamour magazine, you can choose from Balancing Face Moisturiser (20ml), Wonder Eye Cream (7ml), Pure Skin Face Wash (50ml) and Rose Otto Intensive Lip Slave (10ml). The first three are worth £11 and the last one is £12.

I have never tried Balance Me skin care products, only used body wash (the Rose Otto body wash is really nice!)  With only £2.00, you can get the full size lip slave, and other great sample sized products, also the fabulous magazine, what more can you ask for? I will definitely go for all!

Overall, next month's magazine freebies are fabulous!!

Deal Alert: Frederic Fekkai Winter Glossing Set



Recently I have noticed there is a fantastic Sale item in House of Fraser (Here), that is, Frederic Fekkai Winter Glossing Set!! It was £40, and now is only £20! Half price!!  This set is really a bargain!

I first knew Frederic Fekkai is in Space. NK., the sales highly recommended me their products, but it is too expensive for me to buy a shampoo or condition at £20. So when I see this winter glossing set is in sale, I bought it immediately.

This set contains three products: Brilliant Glossing shampoo (236ml), Conditioner (236ml) and Brilliant Glossing Cream (45g). I haven't used the shampoo and conditioner, but find the glossing cream is amazing! (you can find the review here).

Also, you would get a free gift (59ml shampoo and 59ml conditioner ) if buy any two Frederic Fekkai products. 

Review: Frederic Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Cream



This is my recently favourite hair product. I got this travel size (45g) in Frederic Fekkai winter glossing set.

I use this daily before drying my hair, it not only makes my hair soft and frizz free, but also adds shine and nourishes dry ends. The smell is nice and I would say is kind of fresh and clean. Unlike other hair creams or serums making hair heavy or greasy, this one isn't heavy at all!

I usually put a two 'pea size' amount on my ends (because my hair is thick and long),  normally one 'pea size' is enough. Be Careful, don't use too much or your hair would get too greasy, since this product is made from olive oil.

This one is a little pricy (198g--£25) but a little goes a long way, so I would still recommend it. You can find it in House of Fraser, Space.NK. and Debenhams.

Overall, it is excellent for dry, frizzy and damaged hair.

Have you tried Frederic Fekkai glossing cream or their other hair products?

Review: John Masters Lip Calm


I got this lip balm from March Amarya Beauty Box.

This is the first organic lip balm I have used, and the smell is really really wonderful and it contains tangerine, lemon and lime oil, so it also has some fresh and citrusy smell. Except the oils I mentioned above, it also contains olive oil, sunflower, jojoba, flax seed, borage and rosehip oil.

Unlike other lip balms such as Kiehl's or Vaseline is wax based, this one is oil based, so when applying, you don't feel greasy, but will fell the oils melt into the lips.

Overall I think it is a great lip balm for daily use, but it might not be good for intensive care or overnight treatment.

Have you used this one? what is your favourite lip balm?
