Pixi By Petra Glow Tonic
I received yet another beautiful package from Pixi, they really have an amazing PR team! This was packaged beautifully, in side was my own personalised bottle of their famous Glow Tonic!
The packaging itself is so pretty it came apart with this little ribbon on the top to reveal a huge bottle of Glow Tonic. Even with my name on it which defiantly made it that little bit more special.
This has to be the biggest size I have seen in this product, which is great as I really do use this pretty much daily at the moment it has really come part of my routine. This size also comes with a handy pump which will make it even easier to use. As it can be pumped straight into my cotton pads. I always love a product that comes with a pump it makes it that much easier to use and I think keeps the bottle cleaner to!!
I have already said it previous posts before how much I am in love with this product. You can see a full review on my blog. But this really does make such a difference to you skin it leaves it feeling so soft!

I have been sent some products from Mary Kay Cosmetics to try out this week, this is a brand that I have not heard of before, but I was excited to try them once I had a look into it.
They very kindly sent me 3 items: The first been a body lotion, a lipstick and a moisturising gel

First of all I love the packaging of this lipstick its so cool, it took me a while to figure it out to be honest, you push it from the bottom then the lipstick slides out, Its really neat packaging.

Weleda Skincare
I was sent over some lovely products to try from Weleda, this is a brand that I have not tried before and is one that I was eager to give a go.
Below is a description of each of the products and I will go into a bit more detail on what I thought of them:
Pomegranate Creamy Body Wash 200ml
Gentle creamy wash, sensuously fragrant
Your inner beauty made visible with a perfect balance of mild, natural cleansing agents and inspiring scent from essential oils.
The pomegranate is a wise and potent plant, with long- revered qualities which we still find effective. Its skin- loving organic seed oil is a key ingredient of our creamy body wash, enhanced for your pleasure with sesame, sunflower and macadamia – rich oils from every continent to replenish your skin. While warm water sets free fruity-fresh, sweet notes of orange, davana and vanilla, mild sugar-based cleansers gently lift away the day, bringing you a sense of harmony and bright, clean, perfectly soft skin.
Suitable for vegans.
£7.95
First of all let me say that this product smells amazing, and it really lingers to its an almost spicy smell but I really love it. it really creates a great lather, and leaves my skin feeling really soft and moisturised.
Skin Food 30ml
The ultimate natural moisturiser for dry, rough skin everywhere
Our best beauty secret – we’ve shared it with our customers since 1926. Now it’s your turn to discover the essence of soft skin.
If there’s just one thing you need to take with you to a desert island, it’s this little green magic tube. Skin Food is a universal saviour of dry, rough skin on faces, elbows, hands and feet – wherever you take a lot out of your skin, let Skin Food put it back in. With extracts of gentle viola tricolor, calendula and chamomile, in a rich, thick base of oils and beeswax, Skin Food loves your skin back to its best.
Suitable for vegetarians.
£7.50
This is definaly a very rich thick cream, I have been using it on my elbows and knees especailly before applying fake tan, it is brilliant for this. I wouldn't recommend using this on your face as it is such a rich cream.
Aknedoron Cleansing Lotion
Purifying cleanser for problem skin
All-natural, gentle cleanser with essential oils and natural extracts. Tackles bacteria which cause spots, leaves skin balanced and calm.
Problem skin needs balance – not attack by harsh chemical treatments that strip away natural defences. Aknedoron uses organic chamomile and biodynamic calendula to soothe inflammation, while essential oils of orange, grapefruit, lavender and rosemary clean, refresh and fight the bacteria that lead to spots. All the natural ingredients are blended in a soft soap of olive and sunflower oil, leaving calm, clean skin with a natural defensive balance.
Suitable for vegetarians.
£10.50
This lotion acts as an astringent, however you don't really feel the skin being tighter. It hasn't got that harsh touch as the other stuff widely available on the market.
My skin's quite sensitive and it works really well on it, without irritating, yet effective enough to make my forehead looking smooth.

Wild Rose Smoothing Eye Cream 10ml
Gentle, unperfumed treatment for delicate eye skin during your thirties
Smooth away fine lines, calm puffiness and bring the youthful vitality back to the expressive, tender skin around your eyes.
Whether it’s too much emotion or too little sleep, your eyes can show how you feel. Wild Rose Smoothing Eye Cream includes time-honoured eyebright to soothe tired or irritated eyes, while organic musk rose seed oil has the special benefit of containing unsaturated fatty acids, perfectly suited to delicate skin, and helping to build up the hydrolipid mantle. The cream calms puffiness, softens first laugh lines and smoothes away dryness.
Suitable for vegetarians.
£20.95
This gets rid of puffiness and lines a bit but not completely. I have very sensitive skin but it didn't irritate my skin or make my eyes blurry. Leaves a few little white bits which show up when make-up put on top though, but if you rub the eye cream in well when you put it on, they don't show.

Pixi Peel and Polish
The Peel & Polish is a resurfacing concentrate mask. It contains 6% lactic acid, witch hazel water, panax ginseng root extract, papaya extra, sugar cane, sugar maple extract, cucumber fruit extract, orange fruit extract, lemon fruit extract, and vaccinium myrtillus fruit extract.
You can use this 2-3 times a week, for 5 minutes each time. It is slightly grainy, which I like but isn't to harsh on my face, so you can use this as an exfoliator by gently massaging this into your skin
Because of the grainy texture, I found this to be hard to spread on the skin as a mask. I was surprised to find that it didn’t tingle too much, I could feel it was there and it made my skin feel very clean and almost tight. As I was rinsing this off. My skin was left feeling smoother, and looking brighter. My skin was so soft!
Again I love the packaging from Pixi, they always have the cutest packaging, it looks so sleek and girly! It also dispenses really well, as this product is quite runny, it did think that it could get quite messy but it is fine in this tube

Dermamay
I have been trying out these patches from Dermamay.
There are two types the Bio Cellulose ones which Reduces puffiness and dark circles around the eyes. Bio Cellulose Eye Patches are adapted version of bio cellulose face mask especially for the eye contour. Active serum is enriched in decongestant, anti-puffiness and moisturising agents.
The second are the Hydrogel Eye Patches with Cornflower is a version of face mask for the eye contour only. They fit like the second skin. The active serum contains unique ingredients such as Cornflower Water, Hamamelis Extract, Eyeliss. They help to enhance the skin smoothness and elasticity. The skin is moisturized and under eye puffiness is reduced.
I found both types worked well for me they did make the skin under my eyes feel tighter and looking less puffy, I always have some bags under my eyes as I never do get enough sleep!
The patches are very easy to use I started out with a clean face and then gently cleansed my face. The patches come in a peelable aluminum sachet. Each patch is placed between the blue non woven and nylon. Remove the blue non woven and separate the two patches on the nylon tissue. Take a patch and immediately apply under the eye. Repeat the process with the other patch. Adjust and leave them for 10-15 minutes.
They were comfortable to wear some that I have worn in the past are not as comfortable to have on the skin. As these patches were so thin I hardly noticed that I had them on. They also stayed in place there was no slipping which meant that I could carry on doing what I needed to do while the patches worked their magic.
You can purchase the patches here along with their other products such as their face masks:
