Superdrug Calm Skin Serum & Moisturiser Review

-
Hello everyone!

 I'm back with a review after a while.

 I've been to Italy for 3 weeks to enjoy time with my family since I'm on maternity leave 💖

 Now we all know that taking care of our skin in summer is a bit of a hustle.

 Late nights, sea water, the heat, the sun, not feeling like taking off our make-up several times and other factors all contributed to making my skin show some irritation and break outs in a few areas of my face.

 And of course having sensitive skin doesn't help at all!

 I will talk probably on another post about the stress of carrying only selected liquid items on a plane - meaning my skincare was poor for 3 weeks and often I used products that my mum or my sisters bought for themselves (meaning they were not necessarily suitable for sensitive skin).

 But today I want to focus on my life-saver!

 A couple of weeks before flying to Italy I popped into Superdrug as per my usual morning walk routine knowing I had to find something suitable for my situation:
* small size
* suitable for sensitive skin
* calming effect on break outs and irritated area
* not expensive

 Among many products, my sight was caught by this Calm Skin Skincare Hydrating 2-in-1 Serum & Moisturiser which is suitable for all skin types really.

 First of all, it comes in a 50ml size tube and it's clear with a light blue label where all information are written.

 It has a pump on the top, so it's very easy to get the product out and you only get what you need, which I found very helpful.

 I usually like to read carefully what a product does for your skin so I will share with you what this serum does and some of the key ingredients.

 This product is a de-stress serum and moisturiser that 'targets the visible signs of stress on the skin' and it has a very light and fresh scent. 

 How does it work?

 It contains Chamomile, Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide.

 Now we have all heard of Chamomile and Hyaluronic Acid, but if you like me have never heard of this Niacinamide ingredient before, you should know that it helps restore the skin, helps with enlarged pores as well as uneven skin tone - it clearly is a great ingredient!

 As per usual, you can find safety advice and directions for use on the back of this tube.

 The product should be used mornings and evening on cleaned skin, with circular motions until the serum is absorbed, which won't take long as the serum comes in a very light consistency and it's very easy to spread and absorb - consider I only use 2 pumps each time.

 It says that results are visible in 4 weeks time, but I found my skin clearly less irritated after a couple of days already, but this might be different for each person.

 I also want to say that this is a great way to moisturise my skin and I've used it before my make up as I would normally do, with great results, not affecting the performance of powders and other products I use.

 Last but not least, this product is affordable for everyone!
It costs only £ 2.99 and it's lasting me quite a while, so I'm very happy about this too.

 This Calm Skin serum is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Bright Copper Colour Refresh - Maria Nila Review

H ave you ever thought that a change in your hair life is needed but, like me, you came to appreciate your hair and are now afraid of a drastic change? Well, this was me.. and I think it still is me. I really appreciate my hair, specially now that it's glowing and long and all that (one of the positive things of pregnancy!). But still, there were times that I felt like I needed an extra kick and that's why I decided to try something new to me. So, after some research on what kind of colour I could use (I wouldn't have used just any, as I'm pregnant), I found out about this Colour Refresh by Maria Nila . Yes, it's designed for coloured hair, to enhance and brighten up the colour your hair is suppose to have after you've already dyed your hair, but I thought that it could be nice to still give it a go. This product comes in a 300ml small bottle (the design is very modern), and it has all the instruction you need to follow on it, along with all the in...

Phil Smith - Coco Licious Coconut Dry Shampoo - Review

H ello there! Now isn't summer the best season? Well, sometimes my hair doesn't agree with me on this and often I feel I don't know what to do to make it look fresh and healthy. So I decided to buy this Phil Smith Coco Licious Coconut dry shampoo and here I want to share with you my thoughts. I found this product in Sainsbury's supermarket for a reasonable price (£ 2,50 for a 150ml bottle) and it's suitable for all hair types. The packaging looks very fresh and appealing, with this white and golden colours and I admit that's one of the reasons I chose this one instead of other brands/products. I've never tried a dry shampoo before this one, so I was quite doubtful that the product would work at first, so I followed the instructions written on the back of the bottle to make sure I could get a promising result. Directions for use are very straight forward: - shake well the bottle before use - spray at 20cm distance - massage with fingertips ...
