SUMA Organic Soaps

SUMA is the UK’s largest independent wholefood wholesaler/distributor, specialising in vegetarian, fairly traded, organic, ethical and natural products.
They offer not only cosmetics but food also.

http://www.suma.coop/

I have never tried any of their products but today I have decided to get something while shopping at the Organic Shop.




I bought myself Almond Hand Soap. If you don't like products such as Lush which have very intensive smells Suma products would be perfect for you as they smell very nice but not that intensive so they won't irritate you.
Suma Soaps are blended from the finest quality coconut and palm oils and do not contain preservatives.The bars are hand cut. They contains glycerine which is a natural moisturiser.


Main Ingredients:
* Sodium Palmate - palm oil
* Sodium Cocoate - coconut oil
* Aqua
* Glycerine


I paid for one bar €1.05 so it's not expensive.


It does not dry my skin like 99% of regular soaps but to be honest it does not leave it too moisturized also.


In scale 0-5 I would give it 4.

NEUTROGENA WAVE POWER CLEANSER REVIEW


Few days ago I have visited a pharmacy to get my medicine prescribed by my GP. While waiting for my medicine I spotted The New Neutrogena Wave Power Deep Cleanser and as a person with oily skin with due to hormones problem acne I thought it is worth to try. It did not cost too much as I paid for it €8.66 and it includes 14 pads.

The pack includes:

* Cleanser
* One battery
* 2 packs of pads - 14 in total

 Two pack of pads.

 Each pad is Soaked with lovely smelling cleanser.

 Pad should be attached to cleanser, it is waterproof so you can use it even under the shower. You just hold it shortly under water until it gets wet and it's ready to use. The pads should be used only once.


The Cleanser is small itself, easy to storage. 
 It has Switch button on a site.
 This is the please where you attach the pads.

Its surface looks like a tongue, it has this tiny cloves so when you attach the pads they will stick to the cleanser and they won't fall down while it vibrates.  



HOW DOES IT WORK?


Well, I was very happy with the effect! The cleanser gentle vibrates and what is does is it stimulates skin's surface, massaging and opening pores. It removes dead skin cells, make the skin feel so soft and clean as you cannot imagine. 
It really does the job! I highly recommend it especially to those of you who cannot effort to get the  Clarisonic one.

Rose Satin 36 Bourjois Spring/ Summer 2011 Ballerine Collection


This spring/summer Bourjois gives us Ballerine Collection . I bought myself one of the nail polish - Rose Satin.

  




YES:
* very nice natural, ideal for french manicure
* doesn't chip too quickly, I would say 7 days is correct :)
* dries quickly
* nice big brush which makes easy to apply
NO:
* First coat is almost invisible, second if applied correctly would be ok but I think it takes 3 coats to get a perfect effect

I honestly like this one, I am very happy I got it.

Second Coat


REVLON 044 BLUE LAGOON

Blue Lagoon 044 by Revlon






Yes:
* 14.7 ml so it's a lot of it for longer use
* perfect for all year not only summer, it has this lovely shimmer


No:
* it stays on nails without chipping 2 days
* they are bit expansive as in Boots they cost €9.00 but at the moment they have this offer - 3 for 2 so you can get them cheaper
* the consistency is better than the 042 Sunshine but also difficulty to use it and put an even coat, 2 coats are fine but the 3rd one would give perfect effect
* small brush
* it dries long, you need to wait good few minutes between putting a second and third coat

It is similar to OPI but there is some shimmer in it

Yes:
