Roques ONeil Therapie Cherish Skin Repair Serum Review

Throughout Pregnancy my skin changed so much, it was very dry and lacklustre and just didn't feel right. It was often itchy and sore and because of this I was constantly on the look out for products to soothe my hormonal skin.

I received the Roques ONeil Therapie Cherish Skin Repair Serum in a baby gift box which a friend had gifted me. I'd never heard of it before but I was intrigued by what the product could do for my skin.

It it an oil based blend of Argan Oil (yum!) Rice Bran, Avocado (Yuk!) Raspberry Seeds (a rather powerful anti-oxidant) As well as Rosehip Seed to Rebuild, Repair and Protect Skin.

What I was really intrigued by was its claim that it could reduce the appearance of stretch marks during pregnancy. Lets see how I got on...................

So I slathered it on my big 'ol baby bump religiously almost daily (although there were some days when my fat pregnant ass did nothing but eat ice cream!)

I used it from head to toe (especially on the tops of my legs, my bump and my boobs)

Firstly, it smells heavenly, very sweet and almost nut-like (I guess that's the Argan Oil working its magic) I absolutely adore the smell, as its very subtle. During pregnancy I found a lot of scents too over-powering or made me feel sick. This was lovely however, a beautifully sweet scent which lasted for hours.

Although its oil based, its not too thick or runny, its smooth and easy to apply. It soaks into the skin quickly and skin feel instantly better straight away

But: Did it help lessen stretch marks?

Yes: the only visible ones I have are ones that nothing could have prevented (right at the bottom of my belly) However I don't have any on my boobs or my legs and I honestly think this (in part) definitely did help.

It made my skin feel soft and moisturised without feeling sticky. It really does remind me of a much more expensive serum. I love to use it for my face too, as it feels so moisturising and soothing, and even though its oil based it didn't break me out.

Because its quickly and easily absorbed I don't have to stand looking like an oily weirdo waiting for it to dry to be able to sit down.

If your pregnant, not only is this a lovely treat for the skin, it can help to reduce stretch marks too!

This is a fantastic treat for the skin, it feels so lovely, soothing and luxurious.

MAC Strobe Cream Mini Review

Strobing is something I'd never even heard of until I started watching Rupauls Drag Race a few years ago (in the Sharon Needles Era: AKA the good ol' days!) Strobing has been described as overdone highlighting: However strobing to me is not only highlighting certain facial features but also adding dimension and texture to the area too. Admittedly, its not something I would bother doing every day. But on special occasions I like to highlight my favourite features (usually my cheekbones) I received the MAC Strobe Cream as a little try-out sample after buying too many lipsticks over on the MAC website. I was pretty chuffed as I've wanted to try out the Strobe Cream for ages now! MAC describe the Strobe Cream as 'a moisturiser that boosts the look of dull skin and luminises with iridescent particles' So perfect for my tired skin that needs a bit of a boost! I love the little packaging, in fact I would say I'm a bit obsessed with miniature ve...

Bourjois Radiance Reveal Concealer Review

I'm obsessed with concealers, and I'm always on the hunt for the perfect one! I currently use the Nars Radiant Concealer ( Review Here ) for under my eyes and the Benefit Boi-ing Concealer for spots etc. I recently purchased the Bourjois Radiance Reveal Concealer as I'd read good reviews online and I wash hoping it might be a dupe for my trusty Nars Concealer. Firstly there is one massive downside to this concealer: There are only THREE Shades! That just seems lazy! Especially in this day and age where you can purchase some concealers which have over 30 shades to choose from! I have the shade 'Light' and for once, it is indeed actually Light! It's gorgeously pale (it may even be too pale for some people, so I would suggest swatching it next to the other shades if unsure) It is specifically designed for the delicate eye area and it offers 24 hour hydration to the area around the eyes to offer hydration throughout the day, leaving eyes...

Balance Me Rose Otto Face Oil Review

An oil for your face? Yes, Yes, Yes! If you would have told me years ago, when I was a hormonal teenager with many breakouts to use oil on my face I would have laughed at you, but the Balance Me Rose Otto Face Oil, has made such a difference to my skin, I am a complete oil convert. I have quite red, sensitive, often sore skin and this calms it right down. Its deeply nourishing and hydrating. I've heard it described as a conditioner for the skin. I usually use it a night when my skin is looking dry and frazzled. As you can see with the roller-ball application, you just roll it onto the skin (I swipe across each cheek and my forehead) and then gently massage into the skin. Its just such a gorgeous and luxurious feeling treat for the skin. It has never broke me out and it has kept my skin feeling and looking a lot more luminous. It doesn't make my skin shinny and doesn't leave any kind of weird residue on the skin; leaving my skin feeling moisturised and l...
