2^nd December

CAUDALIE LIMITED EDITION HAND & NAIL CREAM – FEUILLE DE CASSIS

This hand and nail cream by Caudalie is scrumptious!! I love hand creams especially ones that leave my hands feeling soft but not greasy and this hand cream provides just that. Its perfect as you only need a tiny amount and your hands will feel so soft and it will even leave you with a healthy glow too!

I also adore the scent of this hand cream – some hand creams let themselves down, as they smell too strong or too artificial but this one is perfect, as you can smell just the right amount of blackcurrant, which is delicious!!

What I love most about this hand cream is that it absorbs straight into your skin so you don’t have to waste time waving your hands in the air trying to get the cream to dry.

I also noticed that the hand cream even moisturized the skin around my nails – my hands are really dry this time of year as it’s so cold so my cuticles get super dry! But this hand cream managed to make a huge difference and both my hands and nails felt so nourished after just one use.

 

The packaging of the hand cream is also a great benefit to the product as its in one of those squeezy tubes so you can literally squeeze everything out without letting any of the product go to waste! One thing that I would suggest is rather than a screw cap lid I would prefer a flip lid so then you can snap it shut rather than trying to screw the lid on whilst you’ve got the cream in your hands.

Have you guys tried any of the Caudalie hand creams? Let me know in the comments! Or let me know which is your go to hand cream!

YOU Beauty Discovery Advent Calendar ♡

Hi Everyone ♡

Welcome to December! How quickly has time flown by that it is already December?! Well I am not one to complain as I love this time of year especially as now the Christmas countdown is in full swing - yes thats right only 24 days until we get a visit from Santa!!

Now to mark this joyous occasion I have been lucky enough to get my hands on the YOU BEAUTY ADVENT CALENDAR. If you're not familiar with this advent calendar I can tell you that it is every beauty addicts dream even with the lack of chocolate! YOU BEAUTY DISCOVERY is basically a monthly beauty membership service, where every month you get a box containing two of the individually selected products tailored to your tastes. However for December they have brought out this delightful advent calendar which is available to buy even for non members!

What's even better is that the products in the advent calendar are actually worth £240 but you can buy the advent calendar for just £49.95?! AMAZING!! Buy here 

The advent calendar is packaged beautifully with a little white silk bow holding the box together so you feel you're opening your first Christmas present when opening it!

So what I have decided to do is every day once I've opened my YOU BEAUTY ADVENT CALENDAR  I am going to review and then blog about the product I have received - simple!

Todays product for December 1st is the SISLEY - MASQUE CREME A LA ROSE NOIRE - BLACK ROSE CREAM MASK

So first of all the packaging is in your typical plastic tube with a screw cap lid - perfect just to wipe clean and no problems if you drop it on the floor or in any water. 

The actually mask itself is in between a moisturiser and a gel formula, which makes it really easy to apply and you'll only need a small amount.

The fragrance of the mask is a really clean smell and there is a faint smell of the rose fragrance which is not too overpowering. 

DIRECTIONS - Using my fingers I used a small amount and applied it all over my face without applying it over my eyes. I then left the mask on for 15 - 20 minutes and then using a damp cotton wool pad I wiped the mask off.

My skin instantly felt smoother but it also had a slight glow to it as well! 

I definitely will try to use this mask at least twice a week as I could instantly see the difference in my skin.

Ill do another blog update to see the difference in my skin after using this product for a few weeks and hopefully you'll see the difference too.

Let me know in the comments if you guys have got your hands on this adorable advent calendar or if any of you have tried the Sisley Black Rose Cream Mask!
