Transformulars Skincare

I have been trying to concentrate more on my skincare lately as I have got a little lazy to say the least!

I am always on the lookout to try new products, the lovely people at Transfomulas sent me these items to try out, and I was mega excited to see the what the results were!

The items are really well packaged and do give that high end look, each is in a cardboard outer packaging, the products themselves are in a really sturdy plastic metallic container. The Hydration Gold I particularly like you twist the top and this pushes the pump nozzle up which I think is a nice touch. Both the other items have what I would describe as a lip gloss want applicator, which I think is a great precise way to be able to apply the product.

They sent me these 3 items the first been their LineFiller, now I really don't have a problem I would say with wrinkles just yet, but as they say prevention is better than cure so I am keen on trying products that can help in any way. They also sent their Hydration Gold, which states it is an anti aging cream. The final item is the Eye-Lightening treatment. My eye area has probably always been my worst area, a mix of me wearing my contacts so messing with my eyes a lot and not getting enough sleep are the main contributing factors.

Fist I will talk about the line filler, this is a clear liquid almost like a serum, I thinks that's how I would describe it. It goes on really well and isn't greasy. It felt cooling as I put it onto my skin like a something that was minty? As it dried my skin did feel slightly tighter, nothing uncomfortable, I concentrated this on my smile lines and my forehead. This could be used around the eye area, but I wanted to try the specific eye cream for that.

The Hydration cream has to be my favourite, it does have quiet a strong but pleasant smell. It is a pale gold color and again goes on really well, I found it to almost have a shimmer to it which left my skin glowing! It is perfect to wear under foundation. This was how I wore it and it gave a lovely glowy finish. It made my makeup last well, and left my skin feeling soft.

The final item is the Eye Lightening cream, I found this to feel very much like the LineFiller, again with the cooling sensation. I have noticed a difference around my eye area. I feel that my concealer is also going on better. It does seem to make my eye area brighter.

Lip care and longer lasting lipstick 👄

I am useless when it comes to lipstick, especially in the winter! I always seem to have chapped lips dispite carrying a bag full of different chopsticks and lip balms so finding any way of making my lipstick last a little bit longer is always welcomed. Obviously if all I am going to do all day is lick my lips not a lot will help but here are a few useful tips:

I put on a lip balm every eve before I go to bed it has just become part of my night time routine. I do have a blistex intensive relief for when my lips are really bad, this does really work I can't recommend it enough although it does will feel a bit strange when it first goes on as has a minty taste which feels cold but it is really soothing. If not I just use my Nivea lip balm

Another tip is to use a dry toothbrush in general circular motion to remove any dead skin from your lips, just make sure that you do this really gently you don't want to make your lips sore

Before I put on any lip colour I normally put some balm on the lips first then start with a lip liner and slightly over line the lips but not too much as this can look very scary very quickly!! Then put in your favourite lipstick blotting and excess with a piece of tissue paper. You can then add some translucent powder over the top finished with another layer of your lipstick

So find this lasts the longest for me. Even with these really cold days at the moment

Hope that helps you
