So I signed up to this cool website that allows you to mystery shop to earn money. (And by shop I don't mean actually going out all the time! )

I was asked to test an app on my ipod for them and earned £2 just for playing and rating a game!how amazing is that? I didn't think it was possible for the average person to be paid to play a game. But I actually received the money! 

If you follow the link you can sign up too its quick and simple and they email you when there is an opportunity for you to earn some money. 

I wouldn't normally recommend something like this but considering it actually works I think everyone should try it out!

Dove Men+ Care 48hr Anti-Perspirant

Calling all men! 

Are you sporty, active or just sweat a lot? 

Are you sick of Anti-Perspirants that don't live up to their name? 

LOOK NO FURTHER!

Dove men+ care 48hr Anti-Perspirant can keep you smelling fresh all day whether you are at the gym, on a date or just chilling around the house. 

A friend of mine who is very active and is a sports student was complaining that whatever deodorant he used failed on him after 1 to 2 hours of applying it. A local gym was giving away free testers of the Dove Anti-perspirant spray so he tried it out and gave me a free sample too. 

Both of us still use this brand of deodorant now as it is a life saver! When I am at work it keeps me feeling fresh all day and my friend doesn't smell bad after a long workout at the gym! 

Also, this deodorant does not leave white marks on your clothes and does not flake on your skin when it dries like some other brands do.

We are both very impressed by this deodorant and will continue to use it.

Pauls Boutique Bag

I am in love with my new handbag! <3

I bought a Paul's boutique bag from fenwicks recently and I have had nothing but compliments about it ever since! 

The internal fabric is so soft it is lovely and the outside is such a beautiful shade of snakeskin (faux of course!) 

I don't have much else to say other than this is a beautiful, well made bag and I am truly happy with it! 

WELL DONE PAUL'S BOUTIQUE! 

and thank you for making something so lovely!

Environ

I recently went to my local distributor to get my environ skin care (moisturiser, face wash and toner).I also bought an SPF 50 sun cream by SkinCeuticals.

These four items totaled at a hefty £97! but seem to be worth it! 

Environ was founded by Dr.Fernandes who is a plastic surgeon situated in Cape Town. In the 1980's he was one of the first to use enough Vitamin A in skin products to show a noticeable difference to the quality of the users skin.

In the distributor they explained to me that environ is not the sort of product you can walk into any store and buy straight off the counter. You have to have an initial consultation to be prescribed the correct products and strength. Then you will have follow-up consultations every few months to see if the product is working for you and if you need to go up to the next level. Considering that all of the consultations were free of charge and the products last quite a long time (about 6 to 8 weeks) I am pleased with the price of these products. 

 

I do not know much about SkinCeuticals but was recommended this product by the advisor I was seen by for my consultation and I am pleased with this product as it isn't oily and heavy on my skin.

I have been looking for chemical-free solutions to beauty products on the market and this seems to be a good option to go with. I have been using the four products I was prescribed for 2 days and already I see a noticeable difference in my skin. Although my skin is far from how I would like it to be (as expected; its not miracle cream after all!) it has been significantly less oily. My T-Zone is a primary target for oily skin but these products seem to maintain it throughout the day. 

It is still early days at the moment so I will not be recommending anything in this article, but I can say I am quite impressed so far.

Branded Skin Care

After looking into natural/ herbal remedies for skin care I decided to look into the more expensive brands of face and body products. 

I have heard a lot of great things about the Environ skin care range as well as the Clarins range and at their prices they should be good! 

My next challenge is to find a skin moisturisor that doesnt leave my skin feeling greasy and shiny. I have tried many different "off the counter" brands and they have all given me negative effects from more spots to peeling skin and worst of all clogged pores which then lead to blackheads! 

I am going to try the Environ range as well as the Clarins range. 

I will let you know how it goes!

Honey Face Mask Challenge Days Two And Three!

I am really loving this honey face mask!

After using it for three consecutive days my skin has been softer, my spots have reduced significantly, my oily t-zone has toned down on the "oilyness" and my skin around my nose hasn't been peeling as bad as it was before. 

I am very impressed with this face mask/scrub and would recommend it to anyone with any type of skin. 

You only need one teaspoon of honey and half a teaspoon of sugar to make a face mask/scrub for one. This is cost effective as it costs you far less to buy honey and sugar than it does to buy the leading brands of face products which are packed with chemicals.

Some people may prefer to use branded face products but in my opinion we don't need all those chemicals in our life. cut it out and go organic on your skin. you never know, it may save you money and give you irresistible skin all in one!!

St.Moriz Mousse Tan Review

OK so I finally got round to trying the St.Moriz Mousse tanner and it was a lot better than the spray tan! 

The colour was rich and yet believable (I didn't look like an orange) and wasn't streaky and blotchy like most self tans come out as.

The product was easy to apply and did not stain my hands for too long. (it washed off my hands after two attempts)

Overall I preferred this to the spray tan as it is easier to apply and not as messy as the spray tan was!

No ruined tops for me this time! yay!

(warning: the product will stain towels, flannels and clothes so use a separate towel when washing whilst the fake tan is on your skin and wait for the solution to dry into your skin before putting your clothes back on.)
