Pasjel Precious Skin Body Cream Review


 Pasjel Precious Skin Body Cream Review


Today’s post is going to be a bit of a “show and tell” post as I’m super excited (big kid style) about this product, as it has been so hyped in the blogosphere.. But not only that! Some of my favourite Bloggers and You tuber’s have also been singing its praises. I have patiently been awaiting the arrival of this product, so as you can imagine I was literally jumping for joy when the postman finally brought me up the package. I have used it for just over a week now since receiving it in the post. However, I do plan on doing a more in-depth review in a few months. The Pasjel Precious Skin Body Cream is described as being a stretch mark remover and a whitening cream also. I hope you enjoy this post lovelies and as always feel free to leave your comments and links below, as I love nothing more than hearing from my lovely and loyal readers.




A bit about the product?

Pasjel Precious Skin Body Cream is so much more than an ordinary body cream. It is a 2in1 cream, the solution for your two problem.
First, Precious Skin lessens the stretch marks after loosing weight or pregnancy. Second, Precious Skin can whiten your skin. And it makes the skin look brighter naturally.

 

Why I decided to try it ?

If you read my blog you will know I am a complete skincare addict and have a huge collection from drugstore to high end. However, recently I have been loving “me” time and really making an effort to relax myself after work and uni.
 
 
Initial Thoughts Review ?
After using this product around a week now, I really feel like it is just as fabulous as people say it is. Every time I have used it I have felt totally pampered and my skin has been left in perfect condition. I have had no reactions to it yet *fingers crossed* but in all honesty I have a feeling this is going to turn into a staple part of my skincare regime. The scent is absolutely amazing and reminds me of the most beautiful flower garden, and the milky texture is a total treat. I love the fact it can be used everyday, and I have experienced no extra oily-ness on my affected area since using this product, which is a huge bonus. I would honestly say this is one of the very few products that could genuinely work for all skin types. 
 
Overall, I'm absolutely loving using Pasjel Precious Skin Body Cream and I seriously can't put it down at bath time. Despite loving it so much right now. Do buy authentic Pasjel Precious Skin Body Cream at www.pasjelbabyskin.com.

Origins Super Spot Remover £14.00

Origins Super Spot Remover £14.00



I had to buy this purely based on how loved it is my so many in the blogger community. Luckily my skin is quite well behaved with just a few combination issues. However, spots have never really been a biggie for me. However, when I do get one it’s usually quite a nasty boil type spot which hurt! Ouch :( and they are so hard to get rid of. I’m really excited to use this treatment, and see if it really is worth the hype. 
Origins Samples 

The lovely lady at Origins was very informative, and also very kindly offered me some samples. Firstly, she put some of the Origins Modern Friction Exfoliator into two little pots for me to try, and then she also gave me a generous 15ml make a difference plus, which is supposed to be great for combination skin. I’m super excited about trying out these two products, as well as the other products within my haul! So I will keep you updated on my progress lovelies. 


Thank-You so much for checking out my latest post! I really hope you enjoyed this cheeky little haul of mine. I have a very exciting giveaway coming up soon, as well as some exciting collab posts. I love hearing from my loyal followers and would love for you to leave your thoughts on this post and links In the comments section below.

Drugstore Gem Series - L'Oreal PARIS 3-IN-1 Micellar Soloution

Drugstore Gem Series - L'Oreal PARIS 3-IN-1 Micellar Soloution

Hi Lovelies!
I hope you are doing well ? - I have been enjoying a couple of days off, as well as getting used to my new car that I got just under a week ago. Today's post is going to be about the L'Oreal Skin Perfection 3-in-1 Micellar Solotuion. Recently, this product has been appearing all over the blogosphere, so I wanted to let you all know what I thought about it as well. I have tried quite a few Micellar Solutions now from Avene, Vichy and Bioderma, but in all honesty this is absolutely my favourite. I'm sure you lovelies all know about Bioderma and its cult following, but for me the Micellar was good! but it didn't leave a lasting effect on me like the L'oreal Skin Perfection did. I have been loving it in the evening as a pre cleanse, and then in the morning for a quick cleanse when I'm in a rush. I hope you enjoy this post lovelies, and as always I'm here to chat too if you need any help or advice.

About
L'OrĂ©al Paris Skin Perfection Purifying Micellar Water, high performance cleansing for sensitive skin
Used by make-up artists, the 'micellar' solution swiftly removes all traces of make-up and acts like a purifying magnet on skin's surface to capture and draw out excess oil and impuritiesSo gentle, skin feels soothed and toned. Hypo-allergenic. No Alcohol. Dermatologically tested.

Review
This is definitely a drugstore gem! It is fantastic at cleansing, toning and soothing the skin.. just like it claims on the bottle. It is one of the only products that I have ever used that has caused no irritation what so ever to the eye area, and in fact I use this to remove my eye-makeup over my actual eye-makeup remover. It removes make-up better than some of my expensive cleansers, and It does leave my skin feeling toned and soothed.

I use this every single day usually as a pre-cleanse at night and then a quick cleanse in the morning and my skin has been left feeling completely soothed and ready to go! I do tend to follow up with my Elemis Soothing Apricot Toner in the morning, as this acts as a second phase cleanser as well as insuring my PH levels are back to normal after cleansing. The packaging is super sleek and I love that its not a typical round bottle, as it just makes it look a little more interesting on my beauty table. I also like the White and Pink combination, as it makes it look nice and pretty :D ( I'm a sucker for cute things)

I will 100% be re-purchasing this product as it has already become a staple and even replaced my Clarins Peach Water Cleanser! the fact that it doesn't have scent is also amazing for girls/guys with sensitive skin, which makes this product even better. I would totally recommend this product in an instant, and I think this will be great to travel with when I go to Florida in two weeks time.

Overall ?
For around £3.33 I think that this is an absolute bargain! especially for a product that works just as well as some high end products. In my opinion its better than the Bioderma Solotuion as it does a really similar job for a fraction of the price. When I was using Bioderma I found my skin didn't feel completely comfortable after use, in comparison to my skin feeling soft and settled after using the L'Oreal soloution. Thumbs up for L'Oreal! - I would love to hear your opinons about this product, as loads of people are talking about it right now :D - Take care dolls!

Belated Birthday Post - 21st

Belated Birthday Post - 21st

Hi Beauties!
I literally forgot that I had even written this post, as I have been super busy with work and uni commitments. However, two weeks ago I was able to finally pick up my very belated birthday present with my dad and boyfriend. I was supposed to get my new car in June, but due to a new model coming out I decided to wait and get it, as it seemed silly not to wait a few months to get the new model. It was such an exciting day and I was greeted with Drinks and Flowers, and I felt like a million dollars. My birthday in May seems like SO long ago now, but I had such a lovely day and had some money, mullberry goodies and a gorgeous cake! - I'm absolutley loving my new car and I'm forever grateful to my amazing parents! - I even managed to take my roof down for a day or two, but with the chilly Autumn weather I can definitley say I think the roof will stay up till next spring now haha.

Overall I have had an amazing birthday and year! and to top it off I'm flying out to Florida next week with my birthday money to do some serious shopping! So hopefully I will come back with loads of little goodies, as well as a cheeky USA themed giveaway!

HAUL POST - ❤Benefit && ORIGINS❤


HAUL POST - ❤Benefit && ORIGINS❤

Hi Lovelies! 
I had such an amazing day last Saturday with my lovely girlie Hannah. Me and Hannah both work at the spa, and have literally become such good friends! We have loads in common. Firstly, we were both very brave and ventured to the cinema to watch the conjuring!! Or should I say we hid under my jumper throughout most of the film, coming out for an occasional nibble on our popcorn and a quick sip of our tango blasts hahaAnyway, we decided on something a little more light hearted this time, so we headed to the city for cocktails and shopping! Totally a sex in the city moment haha. It was literally such a fun day and we enjoyed a couple of cheeky cocktails, a nice lunch and on my behalf some tipsy beauty shopping oops haha. However, at least my cheeky splurge will hopefully be a good read for all my lovely followers’ hehe. My little haul from the other day was definitely cocktail induced, as I can just remember picking up everything on a whim and just handing my card over haha. I then come back to go out for a lovely steak at Miller & Carter followed by the cinema with my boyfriend, so as you can imagine yesterday was quite an expensive one haha. 
First stop... Benefit’s Beauty Counter! 
Prior to checking out the Benefit beauty counter I had actually instructed Hannah not to allow me to buy anything... Hmm that did not work haha. I ended up coming back with a few goodies two of which I have used before.. So I was just stocking up ;) haha 
Benefit Girl Meets Pearl  £24.50
I have used this product once before, as I brought it in Florida a few years ago. It’s definitely a product I regret waiting so long to re-purchase, as I really loved it and literally used every last drop of my first tube. I don’t actually know why I didn’t re purchase it, but I think it was down to me getting more into make-up and blogging, which meant I wanted to experiment and try more than just one product. Since this product I have had other highlighters from Benefit, NARS, Chanel and YSL to name a few, but this is still the highlighter that comes to mind, as being my #1.  

This highlighter does it all for me! It’s like the baby of Moon Beam & High Beam. It has a Pink tint, with Golden shimmer which makes it so versatile for an array of skin tones. It definitely gives the skin a WOW factor, but without being glittery like a disco ball. The shimmer is very finely milled, and a touch of this product can also be added to your daily foundation to give you more of a fresh and radiant complexion. I’m literally so excited to be the owner of Girl Meets Pearl once again! Let me know if you would like a detailed review sweetie’s? 

Benefit They’re Real £19.50
They’re Real has fast become one of the most popular and best selling mascara’s in the world, and rightly so as it really is a fantastic mascara. This is my third tube now, as I tend to dip in and out of Chanel, YSL & Benefit when it comes to mascaras. However, They’re Real is a mascara I always really look forward to using again. It’s genuinely one of the only products that really does what it says on the box. I purchased the two pack, as it was fantastic value! But I gave the little one to my friend Hannah, as she really wanted to try it out. 

Benefit Brow Zing £23.50
OMG! This has been on my wish list for the longest time ever. I actually ordered it on Debenhams a few months ago, but they totally messed up my order and didn’t actually send it. To save hassle I just got a refund, but never actually went back to buy it. However, when I was at the Benefit Counter I decided that I needed to try it out and see if I really wanted it. I also made a lovely new friend at the counter, and I’m super excited as she is showing her manager my blog! – Anyway, I ended up getting Medium as the Dark was just a little too dark and a little fake looking on me. My make-up is always very natural in the day, and it’s on really on special occasions that I will go the extra mile to stand out! – I was so impressed with Browzings, and I loved all the little tools it came with! I can’t wait to try this little beauty out and review it fully. 
Moving onto Origins!  
I’m sure if you have seen my instagram lately you would have seen the amount of skin care I have been investing in, which include – Emma Hardie, Clarins, Elemis and Origins. Anyway! I had a small sample of The Drink up Intensive mask and I loved it so much that I knew I was in need of a full size! + I really fancied trying out the spot treatment! 


Origins Drink Up Intense Overnight Mask £22.00 
I made a cheeky Origins purchase a few weeks ago, which included the famous Clear Improvements Mask, Eye Doctor and a few other little goodies. I was also lucky to get an Origins Drink Up Intense Sample and after three uses I knew that I was sold! And totally in love with this overnight treatment. The scent is to die for, and reminds me of a delicate fruity peach. It also leaves my skin perfectly conditioned, as well as radiant and plump in the morning.

REVEAL - Exclusive Chanel Classic Jumbo Flap GHW


REVEAL - Exclusive Chanel Classic Jumbo Flap GHW

Hi Beauties!
I have literally just come back from Florida and OMG I'm already having withdrawal symptoms. I feel absolutley horrible and quite depressed after leaving gorgeous sunshine, shopping and loads of fun behind. Today's post is going to be one of the most exciting posts I have ever written, and I can definitely say that Disneyland does make dreams come true! I have a feeling this is going to be quite a lengthy post, as I have been itching to write this exciting post for you lovelies, so hopefully you can share my excitement haha. If you don't already know I am a total beauty, lifestyle and handbag addict. Me my mum and two sisters have our own individual collections, which is amazing as we often swap them around. I have also been very lucky to receive some vintage pieces from my mums collection, which I have added to my growing handbag collection. 

Anyway! There has been one bag on my mind for the longest time, and it is a bag that has become so sought after that even celebrities are going on wait lists. The Chanel Classic Jumbo Handbag is probably one of the if not the most classic handbag of all time. The "Flap" bag comes in different variations, but it was the first successful design that Coco Chanel ever released. The original version was constructed of jersey or leather, the outside featuring a hand-stitched quilted design influenced by the jackets worn by jockeys. The chain strap was a nod to her orphanage years, reminiscent to Chanel of the abbey caretakers who wore such waist chains to hold keys. The burgundy red uniform worn by the convent girls was transmuted into the bag's interior lining.

I first started properly pursuing this handbag in July this year, as my parents wanted to get it for me as a 21st Birthday Present, but it had become so rare that it was impossible to find at the time of my birthday. I decided to get in contact with my Chanel SA Bettina in Florida, who had previously sold me and my mum a few Chanel goodies including my PST. Bettina made me aware of how exclusive these handbags were especially with the Gold Hardware, which is exactly what I wanted. However, I kept in regular contact with Chanel, and Bettina assured me she would do her very best to get me my dream jumbo. Anyway, it came to the time to finally get on the plane to Florida and see if I had been lucky enough to get the handbag. The day before I had been given some not so great news, as it seemed that the bags might have become unavailable for purchase. As you can imagine I was quite upset, but at the same time I was so so grateful to be having such an amazing time in Florida with my family and boyfriend.

The next day I decided to venture into Chanel anyway to see Bettina and also to have a look around the boutique. I can honestly say that when Bettina revealed she did have a Jumbo for me I was actually speechless and I was totally surprised. However! the drama didn't end there as Bettina told me that they had maxed out the amount of Gold Hardware Jumbo's that they could sell, but they still had a Silver Hardware Jumbo available (which was lovely) but I had my heart set on the Gold Hardware as it is truly classic and goes with everything in my wadrobe haha. The next thing I knew another SA come over and said that she hadn't actually received the official paperwork to say that they weren't allowed to sell me the last GHW Jumbo. So as you can imagine we rushed the payment through and moments after the paper work came down to say that they weren't allowed to sell another handbag! OMG talk about having luck on my side :O - I was already feeling totally spoilt at this time, but then my parents also knew how much I wanted some Chanel Ballet Flats and let me choose a pair which I will do a separate post about soon. If that wasn't enough two girls came into the store asking about a Black Caviar Jumbo with GHW and I had just brought it.. so I felt totally blessed to actually own such an exclusive handbag. 

As you can imagine I am extremely grateful to receive such beautiful gifts from my parents, and I can't wait to do some Autumn/Winter inspired fashion posts for you. I know this has been one hell of a lengthy post, but I'm sure you understand how excited I am haha! literally like a big kid right now and I still can't believe that I own such an amazing handbag. I just realised that the bag was actually more expensive in Florida due to tax, which made it the same price as the Maxi which is a size above, but the  jumbo is my perfect size :D  It still feels unreal to actually have been lucky enough to get this bag when there are celebrities waiting for them - Being a true handbag addict I do have some other purchases in mind so keep your eyes out for them in the future. I am going to stop with my rambling now and get into a picture post :D

Initial Thoughts - YSL Youth Liberator Foundation B30


Initial Thoughts - YSL Youth Liberator Foundation B30

Hi Lovelies!
Finally.. a nice couple of hours for me to get some blogging done! The other day I received a package from the postman and guess what it was the brand new YSL Youth Liberator Foundation!! Woohoo :D - I find buying new foundations fun, but quite scary at the same time as there is always that element of will it suit me, or will it break me out. However, I'm sure we all know how well known YSL are for their fabulous make-up line, and their amazing foundations and lipsticks. Last year we celebrated the launch of the YSL Touche Eclat Foundation and it quickly became a favourite of mine, it's literally like a light bulb in a bottle, as it makes you look so awake and perfected with quite a light coverage. However, the recent foundation release by YSL brings us a more skin care based foundation, with higher coverage than the YSL Touche Eclat Foundation. I hope you enjoy this initial thoughts post, which is just going to be me explaining a bit more about the foundation, and how I have found my first couple of uses. As always beauties, make sure you leave your questions, links and comments in the section below. I love hearing from all my fantastic followers, and don't forget I'm only a tweet away if you need me for any advice.
 
YSL Youth Liberator Foundation - About

Skin looks firmer and wrinkles appear clearly diminished, while the creamy coverage makes your complexion look beautifully even and rejuvenated. The Foundation is based on the fantastic YSL Forever Youth Liberator Serum, which has won numerous awards for its amazing complex


 
  • About the Youth Liberator Serum
  • 100 YEARS OF RESEARCH – 7 NOBEL PRIZES – 1 DISCOVERY : GLYCANS, YOUTH KEYSFOREVER YOUTH LIBERATOR is the first anti-ageing skincare by Yves Saint Laurent containing the Glycanactif™ complex, a combination of 3 glycans, to help stimulate skin's youthful capacities at the 3 levels of the skin.This elixir has the highest concentration of Glycanactif™ in the range to stimulate¹ regeneration deep within the skin and boost youth- promoting functions.
  • 2 out 3 women chose to give up their usual serum³.

  • The Shade B30
  • I actually chose the shade B30 in the Touche Eclat Foundation, and found it worked really well for my skin tone last winter, so that is why chose to stick with the same shade in this foundation. The Shade B30 leans quite Yellow, but that is the main reason why I like the shade so much. Foundations that are yellow toned always create a much fresher and healthy looking appearance in comparison to Pink toned foundations that actually oxidise a lot more than Yellow toned foundations, which means you are more likely to get make-up lines and a more orangey tone with Pink based foundations. Bobbi Brown also says that Yellow toned foundations are better, as believe it or not even if you are very pale or very dark, we all have Yellow tones to our skin. B30 would be a great shade for anyone with light to medium tones who range between B20-B30 (Chanel, YSL Shades) - You can always use the website Findation for more advice about foundation shades
