AVON CLEARSKIN BLACKHEAD ELIMINATING DEEP TREATMENT MASK REVIEW

Hey all so today i am writing a review and to be honest i found this one a little difficult. I am reviewing a black head product and that as well Avon. Avon skincare products i do feel are really underestimated but here's to a low end mask on clearing blackheads.
A bit about the mask itself:

• Lifts out dirt and excess oil on skin 
• Helps stop blackheads
• Deep clean of the skin

What i liked about the mask ?

The mask itself is a clay mask and you need to wash it off rather than a peel of mask. At the fist use i washed my face and noticed no big difference at all in fact i thought it did not make a difference at all. However i then used it again a second time in the same week after a coupe of uses i did notice that the mask was helping lifting dirt and excess oil o my skin however the blackheads remained on my nose. 

• cleaned my skin well 
• removed excess oil and left my skin feeling soft
• my skin was clear of blackheads for longer than before the use of the clay mask
• dries fairly quickly 
• subtle smell
• the cost :)

What i disliked about the mask ?

• did not remove blackheads required a few uses for full effect on my skin 

Overall i still use the product as part of my weekly routine, it is not a product i expect instant blackhead removal from but i have noticed it's effectiveness in preventing blackheads on areas like my nose. I would rate it a 4/5.

BOOK REVIEW - KID NORMAL

KID NORMAL – GREG JAMES & CHRIS SMITH BOOK REVIEW

Hi everyone, I know this is something a little different but the little ones in our house take after me and we are all little book worms or nerds or whatever the phrase is these days for kids enjoying books. Personally, I just say BOOK READER 😊

The kids had a read of kid normal this week and I have to say they loved it! It was one of those books where we would put it down to eat dinner and the kids wanted me to read more to them. It even got them off their IPADS. I say that’s an accomplishment. We managed to read the book in a total of 4 days and it is quite a big book for the little ones I have to say.

A big about the book:

It is a paperback book and has 400 whopping pages wow! When we dived into the read the number of pages we didn’t even see as we wanted to keep going and going. It was published on the 13^th of July and now for some information on the story here goes:

The main character is Murph Cooper a young boy who is repeatedly moving to a new house finding it hard to fit in and has no school that has a place for him. But……. When Murph’s mum gets him to a school, things take a turn as Murph is KID NORMAL! just like the book and everyone has some kind of power. It was a school for SUPERHEROS! Yes, that’s right. Soon Murph begins to realise that just because he doesn’t have a superpower just like everyone else he can still save the day!

But beware there is a bad guy!!!

For the kids, this is what got them drawn into it with the suspense building and an urge to find what goes on next. Give it a read with the little ones for yourself if you like the sounds of it 😊

The rating the kids jointly give the book was 5/5.

SIMPLE, KIND TO SKIN: CLEANSING LOTION REVIEW

I often find myself returning to simple products after a breakout and they literally are simple for my skin. My skin type is dry/sensitive. Both the lotion and toner go together however on this occasion I will be solely reviewing the lotion on its own as a product and not both of them jointly, however, I do when using the lotion follow it by using the toner. 

I found that when removing makeup it did the job for me. I lightly apply some on a cotton bud and gently remove the makeup from my face including my eye area in a circular motion. The lotion itself is as expected blotchy upon squirting out of the bottle however very smooth upon applying. Once on my skin, I felt it left an oily texture and took a while to dry after I had removed the makeup. 

The packaging of the product is quite sturdy and the sizing is great for when I am travelling and when I am at home to just leave on the bedside table. 

It also has a very light scent which is a very win-win situation for a product for me as I do like scents however with a makeup remover the least amount of scent is what I prefer. 

What do I like about the lotion?

• After a week of using the lotion, i noticed a difference in the way my skin looks and feels 
• It worked well on my blemishes
• It removed makeup upon gentle movements with a cotton bud 
• Light or little to no scent in the lotion 
• Skin felt hydrated for longer
• Great to remove makeup on sensitive areas such as the eye area
• Cheap and very easily available 
• Long lasting as I only used a grape size amount and after a week still, have over half a bottle remaining of the lotion 

What did I not like about the lotion?

• Sometimes I felt it was left on my skin for too long making it feel oily and also making my skin look oily or wet due to the consistency
• When applying it in the morning I had to wait around 5 or 10 minutes before applying my makeup again for the day as otherwise, it would just come off from my skin 

The cost of the lotion?

The cost of the lotions is between £1.50 and £3.00 depending on where you purchase it. This for me was GREAT!!! 

I love finding products that work for my skin and are cheap. 

Where to buy?     

Here are some links to stores that you can buy the lotion and read a little about them:

For me, I loved the simple lotion and toner and it is great for my home days however due to it taking some time to dry on my skin it is not too good on those workdays where I need to be super fast in moisturising my face and putting make up on therefore I find myself mostly using both the lotion and the toner on weekends.

BOTANY HAND TREATMENT LOTION ORANGE BLOSSOM REVIEW

Being busy and having minimum time to spend on pampering myself and I often give little notice into trying to find the best brands. But on the search for quality reviews here is where our journey begins.

Today I will be reviewing the BOTANY hand treatment lotion orange blossom. I initially received this hand lotion in a gift set. However have to say it is one of a kind.

Now about the product itself it is quite a light lotion and was easily spread around the palm of my hand, however I did find that it was greasy upon application for a little while.
I used the product itself for around 2 weeks to judge its effectiveness and found that areas of my skin had become more moist and less crackled. There was not a dramatic change of how I would have wished to use as that is what I am on the search for however it was worthwhile and did the job.

What I liked about the hand lotion ?

• The biggest factor was the scent as I feel that scent is a big thing that  value, and I did find that this lotion was one where you didn't really have to wear a perfume as the scent is the lotion is powerful.
• It had a soft feather like texture upon applying.
• It spread quickly upon both palms.
• The packaging was great (very cute) I feel it was more suitable than a bottle and very easy to apply.

The downsides of the product ?

• When applying the lotion it remained on my hand and left them quite greasy.

Therefore overall it was an effective lotion and kept my skin hydrated over the two weeks however I found myself hesitating to put it on during the day where I needed it due to how greasy it was and more often applying it just once in the morning and evening. So I find myself still on the search for a good lotion.
