St Grape Product Review + Giveaway Information

Hey girlie's!!!

Today I'm back with an exciting review on some gorgeous products from St Grape*. St Grape are a Canadian brand that thrive in producing natural skincare products which are all handmade using the ancient processes. If you have sensitive skin there really is no need to worry as St Grape promote healthy skin so their products will help sooth and condition dry sensitive skin including eczema and psoriasis.

 I firstly have to touch upon the packaging of the St Grape skincare products, Its absolutely beautiful. You can really tell each product has had alot of thought going into its packaging whether its been dressed with a bow or has been wrapped in gorgeous floral paper, each product has something to offer with its packaging. Even just to look at, these look like beautiful gifts, perfect for Christmas that is fast approaching!!!

Now onto my thoughts of the St Grape products...

Exotic Soaking Salt 600g*

How pretty does the Exotic Soaking Salts look, firstly the salts are baby pink so I'm completely sold just by that factor ha ha. The salts are 100% natural, enriched with pure essential oils and are made with Himalayan mineral pink sand which is the purest form of salt on earth, wowza!!! What I love about the Exotic Soaking Salts is that they can be used in a few different ways, which is always a bonus for me as I love a multi use product. Firstly you can pop 3 cups of the salts into your bath water if you want a calming, soothing bath, this is great for tired/aching muscles, also if you have trouble sleeping using these salts in a bath before bed can really relax you. You can also pop 1 cup of the salts into a foot bowl and soak your tired aching feet for around 20 minuets, personally I love this method as I'm constantly on my feet at work. Lastly you can use it for massage purposes, simply fill the little drawstring bag provided with the salts, wet the bag and massage over your whole body with the bag, it feels amazingggg!!!! As for the salts scent... It has a very strong minty menthol fragrance, great for any of those winter colds and blocked noses as it really does clear everything. The 600g bottle of the Exotic Soaking Salts retails for £15.00.

Ancient Foot Scrub 500g*

A foot scrub is something I've never really used before but after using St Grapes Ancient Foot Scrub I would highly recommend this to anyone and everyone. The scrub itself is made up of sea salt granules and natural essential oils, it feels quite dry in the tub but once you start using it on your feet the oil disperses leaving your feet feeling soft, soothed and relaxed. Like all of the St Grape products the smell is just incredible, it has strong luxurious soapy scent that lingers for a super long time. The scrub is really easy to use, simply moisten your feet then rub the scrub all over and rinse off with warm water, I personally love using the foot scrub after I've soaked my feet in the salts, it honestly feels like a spa treatment at home. The 550g tub of the Ancient Foot Scrub retails for £25.00.

Aqua Bliss Bath Scrub 150g*

I literally adore St Grape's Aqua Bliss Bath Scrub, it feels like such a treat. When you pop the scrub into your hand it feels slightly like wet sand in texture and is very gentle with no harsh, sharp scrub particles inside, the texture of the of the scrub as you scrub it over skin is very light, not too abrasive yet it still feels like your giving your skin a good exfoliate, afterwards your skin is left feeling super soft and polished. The smell of the scrub, well..... Its gorgeous, it has quite a strong soapy scent that lingers on your skin for ages afterwards. Its great if your using the scrub in the bath too as when you rinse you skin free from the scrub it leaves your bath water slightly bubbly and the scrubs scent stays in your bath water, its honestly like heaven. The 150g tub of the Aqua Bliss Bath Scrub retails for £12.00.

Invisable Skin Massage Oil 120ml*

I was super excited to try the Invisible Skin Massage Oil as I've really been getting into oils at the moment. Ive actually been using the Massage Oil as more of an luxurious body oil/moisturiser as its fair to say my boyfriend is rubbish at massages ha ha. I love the fact that the Massage Oil is 100% organic, its also enriched with pure essential oils and leaves you with an immediate moisturising feeling, its super silky lightweight formula leaves your skin feeling so supple and smooth with its citrus scent left lingering. I also found a little bit of the massage oil really does go a long way so the bottle is going to last you quite some time and isn't wasteful at all. The 120ml bottle of the Invisible Skin Massage Oil retails for £25.00.

Overall I absolutely love all four products I've been road testing, they have all fast become products I use more or less on a daily basis. Each product feels super luxurious, spa like, very high end and alot more expensive than they actually are. I love how every product I tried left a gorgeous lingering scent on my skin, even my boyfriend commented on how lovely I smelt after using the products. They are all packaged beautifully and not to mention they look gorgeous sitting in your bathroom too. They honestly feel like an absolute treat to use and I would highly recommend St Grape if your looking to have girly pamper nights, if you want to sooth tired aching muscles or like I've mentioned before they make lovely gifts.

You can buy all of the St Grape products I've reviewed in this post plus many more skincare products on the St Grape website .

Skinetica Review

Hey girlie's!!!

I was recently lucky enough to try Skinetica!!! Skinetica is a kind to skin anti blemish lotion with the added bonus of being a super toner too!!! It claims to clear those angry red spots, pesky blackheads and everyday blemishes in up to 2-3 days, which to be honest is a very bold claim in my opinion. Personally i don't suffer with bad break outs very often, but i do occasionally get the odd spot or two which always leave me with horrid blemishes which tend to hang around for ages so i was keen to put Skinetica to the test. So here's a little bit more information on this super lotion that is Skinetica he he and if it worked for me....

Skinetica is fast acting anti blemish lotion and great if you have an event coming up, yet your skin is looking a mess! Best of all, it's very gentle to skin and won't irritate you, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, and all ethnicity's. Skinetica can also be used as a super toner, used after makeup removal and cleansing, or before makeup application, to remove any traces of dirt or grime and give you a totally fresh canvas. You can use Skinetica in this way even if you don't have any blemishes, as it will prevent them from appearing, amazing right???

Skinetica can also be used as a makeup base. For those of you who suffer with slightly oily skin, you may accustomed to getting a really shiny face after a few hours of wearing makeup. This can occur all year round, but will be even worse in the hot summer months. Using Skinetica under your foundation will ensure it stays in place firmly and will minimise shine, all the while fighting blemishes and imperfections.
 If all of that wasn't good enough the application couldn't be easier, you simply pop some of the lotion on a cotton pad and either wipe over the effected area's alone or your entire face, easy!!! Remember your skin must be free from makeup, moisturisers and be completely dry and clean before you use the lotion, otherwise the results wont be as affective.  So has this worked on my horrid blemishes you may be wondering??? Well... the answer is yes!!! 

(Apologies for the bad picture quality, both pictures where taken in the evening after cleansing)

As you can see from the before and after picture my blemish has almost vanished in 2 days, and bearing in mind this blemish has been on my cheek for quite some time and was left behind by an ever so lovely spot, and now its nearly gone in 2 days i couldn't be happier!!!

I would highly recommend this to an acne sufferer or someone who is prone to having regular break outs as i think this will do your skin the world of good, also if your like me and you get left with blemishes this would also be beneficial, not to mention it can reduce oiliness of the skin!!! It's definitely worth a whirl!!!  

You can buy your 80ml bottle of Skinetica on the Skinetica Website for just £9.99 a bottle or alternatively you can sign up to try a free 15ml sample to try, brill!!!

Tresemme Platinum Strength 60 Second Treatment Shot Review.

Hey girlie's!!! So recently whilst having a mooch around Superdrug i saw Tresemme had launched a new range called 'Platinum Strength' the range was all half price so i immediately had to have a nosey. The range claims to visibly repair 2 years worth of damage after 5 uses, now I'm sure anyone would think that's quite a big claim as i sure did, anyway as i was looking i saw this little 60 second treatment shot and I'm all about a quick fix so i bought 1 to try. 

As you may or may not know I've been growing my hair out for quite some time now and I've also been quite naughty and not had my hair cut in a long time so my ends are extremely dry and split, also the fact i use heat on my hair more of less everyday doesn't help the poor condition of my hair either so this little shot was just what i needed if it lived up to its claim. 

I have to say Tresemme have really pulled it out of the bag with this range, its amazing. Whilst in the bath i applied some of the treatment shot to the lower half of my wet hair and left it in roughly for the 60 seconds it advises, once i had thoroughly rinsed my hair straight away i noticed a difference even though my hair was still soaking wet. Once id blowdryed my hair my ends felt completely smooth and the only way i can really describe it is when you've just had your hair cut and your ends are all swishy and full of life, its exactly how this makes your hair feel, there was no dry ends and my split ends where no longer visible. I do also have to mention i got 2 uses out of my shot which for someone with long thick hair i thought was fab too.

All in all this product is amazing and I've already stocked up on other products from the 'Platinum Strength' range, also why its half price its a right brucie bonus. I only paid 69p for my little treatment shot.

Let me know your thoughts on this range, have you tried it out yet??
