Soap & Glory Glow All Out

Recently I got into the whole glowy cheek and been on a look out for a powder highlighter. What I wanted was something like my Mac Mineralize Blush in Hang Loose. It’s a perfect combination of a lovely pinky blush and lilac highlight. But because it’s strongly pigmented I can'tt use it over the top of certain blushes.

So now I am hunting for a powder highlight that will give me the glow without the sparkle.

Glow All Out is a first one I decided to try. It’s described as a Luminizing Radiance Face Powder but I would definitely not recommend putting it all over the face. Risk of face looking like a disco ball!
It's a peachy pink shimmer with tiny silver sparkly particles.
It blends very nicely and doesn’t have chunky glitter. It adds radiance to the face and makes me look fresh and well rested. It’s sheer enough to apply on top of a blusher which is what I’ve been looking for.


One minus point is for fading quicker than Hang Loose. It stayed glowy for about 6h which isn’t bad but about 2h less than Mac.
Another minus is for lack of that wow factor when used. This is due to Hang Loose being my very favourite highlighting product and it still impresses me each time I use it.

Overall I really like Glow All Out and will continue to use it. I think £11 is fairly reasonable price for the quality.

My Best and Worst from Elf

Low prices and lots of ravings on blogs managed to lure me into buying from Elf quite a few times. I own few bits from each of their ranges: basic, mineral and studio. Overall studio products are best quality and althou their prices went up a notch, £3.75 is still a bargain for a good blusher. Plus once you order from the website, you will be receiving lots of discount coupons on your email so you can save even more pennies.

There are few things I like and reach for from time to time but they don't stand out for me. You won’t see those in this post ;) What you will see are products I love and use almost on a daily basis and products I truly dislike and not been using at all.

Best:
1) Studio Cream Eyeshadow in Dawn
– lovely taupe with sheen. Colour is definitely buildable. It’s not very creamy but thanks to that it doesn’t crease and stays on all day! I wear it on its own or as a base under a powder eyeshadow. It works both ways.

2) Studio Eyebrow Kit in Medium – little bit dark for me (that’s my own fault for not picking up light one!) but works fine applied light handed. I mix powder and wax together with an angled brush and fill out my eyebrows. It keeps them looking groomed but still natural.
3) Mineral Lipstick in Runway Pink – formula is kinda between matte and cream. Stays on the lips for a long time without fading and doesn’t dry them out. I tend to blend it in with my finger, reapply it and blend it again. That way it creates sort of a stain on the lips and stays on even longer. I have two more shades from this range and they’re just as good!
4) Studio Blush in Tickled Pink – creamy, long lasting formula here. It’s not super pigmented but buildable shade. Quite light colour so suitable for light complexion girls. I actually like that it’s not very pigmented because it’s easier to blend by applying 2-3 layers. I always end up with massive blob of colour with strongly pigmented blushes!
5) Studio High Definition Powder – translucent, finely milled finishing powder. I’ve never owned such soft and delicate powder before! It doesn’t take away from dewiness of foundation and keeps the shine at bay. Looks white and scary but doesn’t leave any colour on the skin.


Worst:
1) Six pc. Eyeshadow in Smoky
– shadows are dry and very hard to blend. Pigmentation isn’t bad but glitter goes absolutely everywhere but it doesn’t stick to the lid. I’ve tried using it a few times and gave up. Not worth the effort for £3.50. In fact it’s not worth the £3.50.
2) Brightening eyeliner – way too hard for me. I need soft and blend able liners and this isn’t it.
3) Super Glossy Lip Shine in Malt Shake – the reason I’m disappointed in this is because the colour is NOWHERE near the one showed on the website. Picture shows pretty pink and I got brown and I don’t do brown lips. Shame because lip gloss itself is really nice – thick, pigmented and not too sticky.
4) Clarifying Pressed Powder – very drying and looks powdery on the face. Not much pigment in there either.
5) All Over Color Stick in Lilac Petal – glittery and difficult to blend. Looks very unnatural plus it disappears from the face after 5 seconds.

Considering how much stuff I bought from ELF five disappointments is not much at all! And for such a low price I really don’t mind trying stuff out.



Have an awesome weekend guys!

ELF Mineral Infused Face Primer Review

I’ve had this primer for quite some time now but it’s been sitting in my draw unused. I did use it few times just after I’ve purchased it but sadly it broke me out. I am certain this was definitely reason of my breakout because as soon as I stopped using it my skin cleared.

Last week I’ve decided to give it another go. Our skin changes all the time and sometimes it’s worth to try the same product again after a while if it didn’t work the first time.

So here are my thoughts on it:


What it claims to do: Developed to combat excess oil, flaky dryness, enlarged pores and fine lines to result in a natural and youthful looking radiance. This clear multipurpose skin primer prepares the skin so makeup goes on evenly for a lasting finish.

Formula: Clear, silky liquid on a thicker side.

How to use it: Apply to clean skin prior to makeup application. Use a small amount and blend evenly over the face for a smooth and flawless base.

My experience: Like I mentioned before this primer broke me out the first few times I’ve used it. I came back to using it after few months and I haven’t noticed any breakouts. I’ve been using it every morning for the past week. I am not sure why but some days this primer works great and some days it doesn’t do anything. I am guessing this is due to the conditions I am at (office, outdoors, home etc). I think this being a primer it should work in any situation. After a work day, my makeup does look little bit better and there are no patches of built up melted foundation. But I feel that fair bit of the product disappeared as it normally does.

 Price: £6.00

Where to buy: http://www.eyeslipsface.co.uk

Final score:
4/10 Overall I’d say it helps foundation to stay on a little bit longer and it makes the process of disappearing makeup a bit better looking. But shine on my T-zone comes through after about 2 hours which is how it normally does. It might just not work with my skin but to me using it is kinda pointless.

Hope this was helpful! Have any of you tried this product?

It just didn’t work for me

I am sure that somewhere at the very bottom of a drawer in a place where no one ever looks, we all hide these. They just didn’t work for us and no matter how hard we tried we just couldn’t find a way to use them up.

I am talking about product failures.

I haven’t got many at the moment because if it happens that I absolutely hate something I bin it or give it away to someone who might like it.

I would like to say that I normally do a bit of research and think twice before I buy something. If something isn’t as good as I thought I do use it up anyway or try to find a different way to use it.
But the products I am showing you today were a total disaster and just did not work for me in any way.


1) Asda Regenerating & Strengthening Conditioner For Damaged Hair – if this conditioner didn’t do anything to my hair I would be happy. It costs £1 so no harm would be done. But this actually made my hair feel horrible! They were hard to comb through plus very rough and coarse looking. They have lost all the shine and health they had. I didn’t even want to touch them cause they felt horribly dry, stiff and rough. This bottle is going to the bin! I would not recommend it to my worst enemy.

2) Avon Foot Works Pedi-Peel Pads –I bought this after youtuber recommendation. Apparently it worked wonders for her. It didn’t do anything for me. I will stick with my simple and effective pumice stone.

3) Fade Out Day Cream – I have a few discoloration patches and spot scars on my face and I was hoping this product would fade them out as the name leads to believe. The effects were meant to be seen after four weeks of use. I used it for two and stopped. It broke me out very badly. It wasn’t even normal spots; more like under the skin bumps and little white allergy dots. My skin became very dull and tired looking. I didn’t notice any scar or discoloration fading at all but this is probably due to not using it long enough. It also stinks veeery badly.

4) Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain + Balm – Initially I really liked this product. It seemed to stay put on my lips for quite a long time and added balm was moisturizing my lips. I am not sure what happened but one day I applied it in the morning and after about two hours I noticed it disappeared of my lips. This wouldn’t be so bad if it completely vanished but it stayed strong around my lips (looking like a liner) and was gone in the middle. I didn’t take the product with me so I couldn’t re-apply it. It looked truly awful! I have not dared to wear it again. Plus the balm part snapped off after second use which was very disappointing.

Have you ever had a totally disastrous experience with a beauty product?

Soap & Glory Thick and Fast mascara review

Back in February just like most of Brits I purchased a copy of Elle magazine purely for the free Soap&Glory mascara.

I had high expectations. Sadly this product isn’t for me which doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not good.
Here’s the review:

What it claims to do: This false lash effect mascara creates amazingly, longer, fuller, fabulous lashes. Featuring SUPERFILL™ False Lash Fillers, SHINE AMPLIFIERS, NOFLAKE24 technology and super-fine no-clumps natural wax film formers. *While we don’t feel it’s ladylike to brag, we’re feeling particularly bullish about our mascara. (And hope after trying it you’ll agree that it’s absolutely marvelous.)

Formula: To me this is just right. Not too wet not too dry.

My Experience: Brush is humongous so not very comfortable to use on my tiny eyes. I end up with mascara all over my face (ok, I am exaggerating a bit here) each time I use it. Never the less it separates the lashes beautifully and gives them a lot of thickness and volume just like the promise. I did have couple more issues with application. There is mascara built up on the top of the brush and because I don’t twist my hand to apply it on my left eye I always end up with a massive clump in the middle of my lashes there. When it comes to lasting power this isn’t a winner. After 6h I noticed a bit of smudge and after about 8h I looked like a panda.

Price: £10

Where to buy:
Boots

Final Score: 5/10 for me but… if you’ve got big eyes, not very oily lids and are able to apply mascara so that tip of the brush is always in the inner corner of your eye then this could be a winner for you.

Sunday Treat - Egg And Coconut Oil Mask

Every Sunday I try to treat myself to a spa-like beauty session. It’s always a treatment that I don’t have time to carry out during the working week. Something that will allow me to relax and enjoy a couple hours of a good book or a tv show.
Three weeks ago I discovered DIY hair mask recommended by Andrea’s Choice on you tube.
I can honestly say it’s the best thing that happened to my hair since 1997 (I think that is about time when I started to heat and dye the crap out of them).
Normally I stay away from DIY beauty products. That is because it often takes more time and money to find the ingredients then buy a readymade thing. I wish I had energy and willingness to make my own beauty products but I’m just too lazy to do so. It was different with this hair mask. It seemed too simple and too affordable to be true. I gave it a go thinking it will be my first and last time experience with homemade hair mask. But I have been treating my hair to it every Sunday since then.
All you need is a coconut oil and an egg. My Nan swears by benefits of egg mask but the idea was never appealing to me.  I should have listened to her ages ago! Andrea explains pretty well benefits of this mask so go to her channel if you want some more info on that.



That is the only coconut oil I had but once it’s used I will purchase this one

Scoop a spoon full of coconut oil (it is solid when cold) and put in in a microwaveable bowl. Warm it up. You don’t want it to be too hot or else it will lose its benefits. Add a raw egg and mix it well. I have also added a few drops of Argan Oil I brought from Morocco.

Scratchy wants this treatment too! He doesn’t need it thou. His fur is very soft and shiny :)


Gross!!
I recommend putting a towel around your arms and doing it over the sink. It gets quite messy. I don’t ever wear any make up when doing this. Hairs with all that stuff on them are bound to touch your face at some point. I don’t want to worry about it ruining my make up. Apply it all over the hair concentrating on the end if they are more damaged than the rest of the hair. You can also rub it into your scalp if you suffer from dry skin there. You hair will go stiff after a few minutes cause of the egg.


Attractive, right?

Put a foil over your head (I use a carrier bag
) and twist it on the front. Sit with it on for as long as you can from 30 to 60 minutes.



Hair can stay greasy feeling up to two days after this treatment when using your regular shampoo to wash it off. I’ve found Superdrag Green Apple & Lime Deeply Cleansing Shampoo takes the entire oiliness from the hair. And because all of the proteins and other goodness got soaked inside of the hair it is not stripped from what we’ve just given it.  I wash this mask off once with normal shampoo and once with cleansing one.

It is so difficult to have bleached blond shiny hair. I didn’t think I will ever see any shine on them. I am so happy I have tried this mask cause results are unbelievable! My hair has never been so soft and shiny! None of the bought products have ever managed to achieve what this have. Another thing, this effect lasts for a whole week. Even after washing my hair 3 times after this treatment they were still oh so soft. Mask also helped my scalp. I was scratching my head all the time and could see my skin flaking. I have noticed a big improvement on the itching.

Have you ever tried this and if yes, what did you think? Do you like DIY beauty products?

Soap & Glory Kick Ass Concealer

About a month ago I have read that Soap&Glory is expanding their range to make up. I am a big fan of their skin and body care products so were really looking forward to see if make up products are just as good.
I have bought only one item so far and that is Kick Ass Concealer. I have been using it for about two weeks now and I am ready to give you my opinion on it :)

Everyone can agree that vintage looking packaging is very cute. I think that is what brings our attention to the brand in the first place. But apart from looking good this pot is really well made. It feels sturdy, it has a mirror inside and comes with a little sponge.


Inside you can find 3 step camouflage kit which explanation on how to use it. Step 1 is a salmon colored under eye concealer (2.96g). Step 2 is a yellow face (blemishes, redness) concealer (2.96g). Step 3 is a sealing powder (2.5g). Powder and the sponge are separate from concealers which is something you can find mostly in high end products.



Both concealers are very creamy and easy to blend. I haven't got under eye circles (just a little discoloration) and brightening side worked fine for me. It covered everything it needed to cover. I do have to say thou that it didn't properly set into my skin. I found it stayed on top of the skin which made it look a bit cakey. I am not sure how it would handle dark under eye circles.
Yellow based face concealer however did a great job. I have got a lot of redness on my skin (spot scars, broken capillaries, red patches) and Kick Ass managed to cover it all. It worked on small as well as bigger areas such as cheeks. Very good coverage and it sets well onto the skin.
Translucent powder has a very light and smooth formula. I doesn't feel heavy at all.
This concealer survived on my skin for about 12h! Very impressive.

Nothing on the face
Foundation all over the face and Kick Ass Concealer under the eyes and on the face
Kick Ass comes in shades Light and Medium so not much choice. I suppose they're just trying to see if it sells and hopefully will add darker shades.

I paid £10 in boots which I think is a reasonable price for the quality and amount you're getting.
I have seen it being compared to Laura Mercier undercover pot which I unfortunately don't own but very curious how therese two comapre (considering the price).

Hope my review was helpful guys! Let me know if I've missed something out!

Lulu's Time Bomb FlashBack Night Cream

I received this face cream in my November Carmine beauty box. It is meant to do wonders to your skin during the night thanks to rich formula packed with vitamins and botanicals. You wake up looking fresh and well rested.
Sadly it's magic didn't work for me. It felt lovely when putting on my skin before going to bed. Formula is very light, absorbs well and leaves skin feeling smooth and soft. But when I woke up in the morning my skin instead of looking super fresh looked tired, drained and felt rough.
I think this cream is probably really good but it's just not for my skin type. Plus now that I've looked at the packaging properly it is aimed at more mature skin.
So I can't really say this is a proper review of this product but I did want to let you guys know what I thought.

Dainty Doll vs. Mac Emerald Eyeliner

In last month Carmine beauty box I received Dainty Doll eyeliner pencil in number 004. Dainty Doll is a brand created by Girls Aloud's singer Nicola Roberts. Nicola has an English Rose pale porcelain complexion and that's the type of skin her cosmetics are designer for. Pencil I got is in a beautiful emerald shade. Since I do already own similar colored eye kohl Minted from Mac I decided to do a comparison of them two.


There is one main difference between those pencils and it affects their application and wearibility. It is consistency.

Mac (£13)is a kohl so very soft and it glides on very easily on the lid. It doesn't drag and creates even line. One or two swipes are enough to have an intense colour. It also applies lovely on the water line. Very easy to smudge and create softer look. But there is a bad side to its softness. This pencil is not one of these non-moveable eyeliners. It smudges. Especially when the weather is warm and skin gets more oily. I got about 6h of wear out of it and after that it started to smudge like crazy. I recommend using a good setting powder under the eyeliner to stop the smearing a little bit. I have been using Minted during the summer as it is gorgeous bright colour. My favorite way to wear it is on the lower lash line and water line with bare lid and lots of mascara.


Dainty Doll (£10.20) is being stated as soft kohl on the
website but this pencil is hard in consistency. It was a little difficult for me to apply it. It dragged my skin and didn't seem to soften up after warming up. I had to apply several coats to create a visible emerald effect. Because it's so hard it didn't show up on the waterline either. It states on the packaging that it can be smudged to create smoky look but I don't agree.
It's not soft enough to smudge. But thanks to not
being soft this eyeliner didn't move anywhere and
stayed on my eyelid for about 12h. I found a good
use for it as a little add on to a simple look. I used it on my bottom lid to add a pop of colour to a day time smoky look.

One swipe. Left- Dainty doll. Right - Mac.
Several swipes. Left- Dainty doll. Right - Mac.

You can see on the picture Minted is a shade darker than Dainty Doll but they are nearly enough the same colour.
All in all I would choose Mac's Minted. The reason for that is I really don't like hard liner pencils. I feel like there is too much pain and effort trying to paint a line and results aren't that great. They drag delicate skin on the eyelid and cannot be smudged.
I will continue to use Dainty doll but won't repurchase and will stay true to Mac in this case :)|

Too Faced Natural Eye palette review

Hi everybody!

Hope you're all having a good weekend! I wanted to show you one of my palettes. Natural Eye by Too Faced cosmetics consists of 9 eyeshadows. These are meant to be the only thing you need to create natural eye look for any occasion, including day, classic and fashion makeup. Included in this kit are double ended sponge applicator - angled brush and cards with instructions on how to create 3 looks.

I've had this for a while now and have to admit to not using it much at all. When I bought this I thought colours are beautiful but it turned out they don't suit me much. I tried using included cards as a guide but I didn't like any look I came up with. I gave up and this pretty palette was sitting in my collection unused.
As you may or may not be aware, I am not allowed to buy any beauty products until I complete my double project 10 pan. Because of this I have been rediscovering products that have been neglected for a long time.
I picked this palette up few days ago and decided that I have to find a way to make these shadows work for me! I succeeded and I've been using and loving it since.






Heaven, Velvet Revolver, Sexpresso
Silk Teddy, Push Up, Erotica
Nude Beach, Honey Pot
*first Day row includes all matte shades that can create very simple, effortless day look or they can be used for contouring, highlighting and lining upper/lower lash line.
*second Classic row has two rosy, pearly shades and one taupy shimmery with golden sparkle.
*third Fashion row contains gold/silver glitter shadow, true pearly gold one and dark drown with golden sparkle.

Shadows aren't super pigmented. On the picture above you see 2-3 layers but considering I didn't use any primer I think they've done well. All of them are very soft and easy to blend. Staying power is very good too. They've lasted (with primer) without creasing or fading over 12h !
Only colour I've had bit of an issue with is Nude Beach. It's the glitter that ends up all over my face. But I think that's an ongoing issue with all glittery shadows.

All in all for £23 it's a good buy. I do think thou that for this price they could've put mirror inside of the box.

If you've been thinking about purchasing this palette then watch out for new blog posts here on Beauty World. I will create three make up looks and explain how to achive them. Keep an eye out!


Hope this was helpful and thanks for looking!

FratBoy Shadow/Blush and Daniel Sandler Eye Delight review - October Carmine box

It time to review make up items from October Carmine beauty box.

The Balm FratBoy Shadow/Blush:
Let my start with packaging. Adorably vintage looking and very practical! Easy to open and close with a magnet with a  mirror inside. Great to travel with as it's made out of cardboard so there's no worry that it will break.
As for product itself I love it! It's a dirty peachy/pink colour. It can be used as a blush or an eyeshadow. Althou I'm not really a pink eyeshadow person I tried it out and it actually looks nice! It's well pigmented and blends easily. The same thing when using it as a blusher. Creamy texture and easy to control when appling onto the cheeks. I think this colour would suit every skin tone out there.



Daniel Sandler Eye Delight Peach:
If I was going to describe this is one word it would be Shimmery Shimmer. Ok, that's two words but one Shimmer doesn't emphasise enough how shimmery this is. I didn't think I would ever need this much sparkle on my eyelids.
I did try it few times and found a perfect purpose for it even for a day time!
First I applied it on my entire lid and it was to light, too shiny and too much. Then I tried it as a cheek highlight and again too much sparkle. Finally I used it as a inner eye highlight and Bingo! Looks soo pretty. It opens my eyes and gives my eye make up that bit of extra something. I even used it in my inner corner without putting any eyeshadow on my lids and it instantly made me look awake and brightened  my face.
One thing to remember is to apply it with a light hand. Otherwise you will end up with way too much product and your face will look like it went to Shimmer Town.

I wouldn't go all the way pink normally but overall it doesn't look bad at all!

                                                           Eye Delight in Peach and Frat Boy

Hope you enjoyed!

Caudalie Sorbet-Creme - October Carmine box

Hiya!

Here is another review of a product from Carmine beauty box. This time it's Caudalie Face Sorbet-Cream for dehydrated skin.

At first I wasn't even sure if I will be able to use this stuff because my skin is normal/combination. I don't really need extra hydration especially during the day when my face becomes greasy looking after about 8 hours. I did give it a go anyway and was pleasantly surprised.
Packaging states that it's suitable for day and night use and formulated for sensitive skin. It doesn't contain parabens which is a bonus. I have been using it as a day cream only, simply because I do have Lirene cream in my Project 10 pan to finish off too, so that was going on my face at night.
Like I mentioned before I was little bit afraid it will make my skin greasy. But it didn't! Formula is really light,  it hydrated my skin well and kept sebum at bay durring the whole day. It absorbs pretty fast and creates nice base for make up.
Most surprising thing was that some of my "after spot" scars have faded a bit after using this cream for about 2 weeks. I don't think manufacturer mantiones anything about getting rid of scars but that's what's happened to me. Perhaps it just hydrates the skin so well that the scars become less visible? I'm not sure.

Scent it's mild and quite pleasant.

There is only one thing I'm curious about. If it was so good for my combination skin, will it be moisturizing enough for dry skin that it was designed for? I suppose you just have to try it and see for yourself. That is why I love beauty sample boxes! Because you can try those high end products without spending a fortune and decide if the product is worth buying.

Oh, and my 10ml sample lasted for one full month. Full size is £17 for 40ml so you're looking at 4 months of use.

Balance Me Hand Cream review - October Carmine box

Hi everybody!

I have been using products from my Carmine October beauty box for about a month now so I think it's time for a review. I will share my thoughts on the products in seperate posts so watch this space. Only item I am not entirely sure about is Trind Nail Repair. I am going to use it for a little longer before doing a review.

Ok, so first is Balance Me Super Moisturising Hand Cream. There is not much I can say about it as I don't expect a lot from a hand cream other than moisturizing my hands :)
A massive plus for being nearly 100% natural, not tested on animals and created in the UK.
Packaging says "...seriously rich, our cream has been formulated to leave even the driest hands smooth and soft to touch." and I agree with it all. It instantly gives relief to my dry hands and despite it's thick consitency it absorbs quickly without leaving greasy film on the skin. Thanks to it's thickness a little goes a long way. There is only one thing I don't like about it and that's scent. I don't mind lavender but I can't say I'm a big fan of it. This cream wouldn't bother me if it wasn't so strong. I applied it just before going to bed at night and unfortunately it gave me headache and I couldn't fall asleep!
For that reason I can't use it as a overnight treatment :( So I took it to work and keep it in my desk draw.









Overall it's a great hand cream. I do recommend it if you love lavender but if not I would skip it. As for me after I use up this sample I won't buy a full size one simply because of that scent.

Hope this was helpful!

Avon Super Shock Gel Eyeliner

I am not a big fan of Avon make up. Unfortunatelly most items I purchased were dissapointing. I have heard a lot of good things about their Super Shock liners and for £2.50 (on offer) I decided to give it a go. I went for Khaki Shimmer and Plumful which are perfect description of the colours.



Surprisingly for me there are only good things I can say about Shock Liners. Colours are very pigmented and super pretty. Khaki green has tiny shiny gold particles and purple one is more of a perly finish.
Formula is soft, smooth and great for smudging. Staying power is also amazing. 10 hours and they didn't move or fade one bit :)




I highly recommend these liners and for £2.50 you can't go wrong anyway.

Dose of randomness:

*Isn't this the cutest, sweetest most adorable little creature on earth? :)

Dax Cosmetics Perfecta Spa Chocolate & Coconut Sugar Body Scrub

Dax Cosmetics is a Polish brand offering skin, body, hair care and make up.

My first and only product from their range is Chocolate & Coconut Sugar Body scrub. I bought this purly because I needed a body scrub and chocolate mixed with coconut sounded like a yummy combo.



I was not wrong when I smelt it! Scent of this scrub is devine! I have to stop myself from eating it everytime I use it! I also find this scent very relaxing and I'm not exaggerating when saying it makes me feel happy.
The product itself it great too. It is a sugar scrub which means exfoliating particles will melt while rubbing them into the skin. Unlike some other sugar scrubs I've used there is enough time to gently and slowly massage the skin before the particles dissapear. It has thick consistency and a lot of exfolitating bits so you don't feel like there is not enough to evenly scrub the skin.




After each use my skin was left soft, smooth and smelling amazingly. I didn't even have to use a body moisturizer after using it because it leaves lovely layer of... I wanna say oily but it's not oily or greasy by any means... let's just say it leaves layer of moisturizing loveliness on my skin :)
Overall I am giving top marks to this product. Cost is only £4 for big tub of 225ml. For comparison Body Shop scrub costs £12.50 200ml.

There is a big minus thou :( It is not accesible in the UK. But if you have a Polish friend I am sure they won't mind picking one up for you next time they're visiting Poland :)

Next thing I am going to try from this brand is Body butter which for what I can hear is as good as the scrub.

Any of you guys tried products from Dax cosmtics brand? Any woth recommending?


Dose of randomness:
*Katy Perry concert was amazing! I could go again in no time!
*My lips have been dry for the past month :( I think I've tried every existing lip balm and no difference :(
*Only 3 weeks until my mobile upgrade. Whoop whoop! Khm ...what should I get?
*I have worked out a little book reading system. One scary book and one light, funny book taking turns :)
*Sudocrem saved me. It got rid of my horrible, red rash in no time.
