Emani Perfect 10 Primer Serum 30ml.

Achieve a flawless base when incorporating the skincare-meets-primer that is the emani perfect 10 primer serum. Containing 10 powerful organic extracts that work together to transform and improve the texture and tone of your complexion, skin is left looking revived and transformed each time its applied. The many ways you can introduce the serum into your routine is endless and the product still performs outstanding.

The great thing about the primer is it does NOT contain any dimethicone's, a popular ingredient used in primers that forms a layer over the skin to compensate a smooth base. Oily or acne prone skin can see increased breakouts as dimethicone can trap excess sebum and bacteria under its layer, leading to more breakouts and frustration. The perfect 10 is a great alternative for these skin types and you will not experience any flaking or product pilling during and after application, thanks to the skin-benefiting ingredients.
Applying the perfect 10 primer couldn't be easier with the many ways you can use it. You can apply onto bare skin, to then proceed with your makeup application. Mix the serum into your moisturiser or sunscreen, to boost and aid skincare benefits throughout the day. Apply after your skincare products for a flawless foundation application or refresh and revive complexions quickly, midday or evenings. The versatile unisex primer is designed for daily use to offer a solution to problematic skin and to enhance your skins natural beauty.
Emani uses only all-natural ingredients that are beneficial to all skin types. The perfect 10 primer incorporates these key ingredients to hydrate, stimulate, and protect your complexion each time the serum is applied.
  • The antioxidant rich aloe vera extract fights free radicals to protect the skin from damage, while encouraging and stimulating new skin tissues. It also soothes, nourishes, and hydrates to replenish the function of the moisture barrier of your skin. 
  • Avocado oil prevents damage from UV rays and increases collagen, thanks to its fatty acid, vitamins A, D and E content that protects and moisturises all skin types. 
  • Sage leaf extract provides anti-ageing benefits because of its high vitamin A and calcium content, both help with daily cell regeneration to keep skin looking younger and radiant. 
  • Loaded with essential fatty acids that are linoleic, oleic, palmitic and steraric, sunflower seed oil tightens and firms skin, while also promoting a smooth soft appearance. 
  • Glycerin draws moisture to the skin, while sodium hyaluronate (the salt of hyaluronic acid) has a lower molecule size that can penetrate the skin to replace water loss in the dermis to help with the signs of ageing.
  • Cocus nucifera prolongs moisture loss from the skin, while also helping to protect skin from UV rays, other skin benefits are noted to help acne or spot prone skin.   
  • Camellia sinensis extract helps prevent damage, while also rejuvenating skin to help with firmness, reducing wrinkles and eliminating sun damage with its potent antioxidant properties.
  • Calendula officinalis flower extract helps reduce any skin inflammation, while also stimulating collagen in any healing process.
The grooved lime green bottle fits perfectly in your hand with the pump applicator that dispenses just the right amount you need to use. The directions state to pump out a dime sized amount either to clean fingers or a brush, to then blend evenly from the centre of your face outward. The light consistency of the serum glides over skin easily, before absorbing quickly to leave a hydrated and smooth base. Your complexion looks instantly revived and radiant, leaving skin looking healthy without feeling greasy and looking too shiny. Makeup applies better when your base is perfectly hydrated and primed, which is exactly what the emani perfect 10 primer serum achieves but with added skincare benefits! Add the primer into your skincare regime or apply before application of makeup, the choice is entirely yours to see and feel the benefits each time the serum is applied. Available at LoveLula to purchase, X Neil.

Corpore Sanctum 911 Eye Emergency Cream.

Corpore Sanctum have recently launched their new 911 emergency collection, which features the 911 eye emergency cream from the range. The organic products are cruelty free and vegan friendly, while the British brand is gaining popularity thanks to their unique and trust worthy products. All the products available on their website can easily fit into an existing skincare regime, or u can tailor your own regime from the many choices available.
The anti-ageing 911 eye emergency cream combines specific ingredients to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, dark circles and calm down any puffy eyes. Moroccan Argan Oil can be used safely around the eyes to help skin retain moisture, while also improving many skin complaints with its high fatty acid content, Vitamin E and being rich in antioxidants. Hyaluronic acid helps to keep collagen synthesis levels at a high, while also helping skin to retain moisture to plump any fine lines or wrinkles. Green tea extract is known to be a potent antioxidant with skin soothing benefits, while also improving the overall appearance of damaged skin.
Applying any products onto cleansed skin is extremely important for maximum beneficial results. I like to use the cleansing exfoliant with charcoal to remove any impurities, while also gently buffing away any dead skin cells to reveal smoother and brighter skin. The first step is to apply your usual serum, or serums if you layer, as these are typically water based so need to be applied first to be absorbed. You can then proceed to apply your eye cream around the delicate eye area using your ring finger making sure you do not drag the skin. Proceeding to apply your favourite moisturiser, followed by your neck cream, you can then finish your skincare regime with an SPF.
Using morning and night, i was pleasantly surprised with how little you need to use, to feel and see the results. One pump is enough to apply to both eye areas and the light texture helps the eye cream absorb quickly, without leaving any sticky or heavy residue. The eye area looks instantly refreshed, while any eye bags are sent packing due to the tightening sensation and skin is left perfectly smooth, hydrated and plump. Finding an eye cream that can tackle a multitude of sins and also offer anti-ageing benefits, helps this eye cream be the only product you will want to keep applying around your eyes. See the results for yourself, when purchasing from the popular skincare range that works, X Neil.

Martha Jackson - Secret Message Ring.

A gift to that special someone can speak a thousand words, but a ring from the Martha Jackson collection will remind that person everyday with your chosen words. Buying a special gift for someone can be a daunting task if you have explored all avenues and are still left empty handed. Flowers are a nice touch until they fade and need replacing, while scents for him or her have a short life when a new competitor arrives on the scene. Choosing a gift that embodies and reflects your emotions to convey your own personal message has just got easier.
The sterling silver secret message ring is available in two thickness measurements to suit both men and women, while being available in a polished plain band, a polished finish with a hammered effect or a polished finish hammered band with a single diamond set in the middle, to suit the recipients own style. The secret message is engraved in the inside of the ring to make it a personal secret gift, to keep close and to be worn everyday. Picking between six engraving fonts and up to 30 maximum characters, what message would u include?
The possibilities of the message you may want to include are endless, for a couple it could be when u first met, your wedding day or your child's birth date. A friend that needs reminding of how much value their friendship means to you or a family member that can be reminded of how important they are, when the ring is delivered. Adding an affirmation message when buying for yourself is a great tool to use to aid positive thinking and self empowerment, this is why i chose the words "Believe In Yourself". Looking down to your finger, remembering your personalised message, will invoke an emotion anytime of the day.
The excitement when the letter box rattles and the package sits safely on the doormat, would make a lovely surprise for anyone. Placed safely and sitting inside a Martha Jackson gift box, the personalised ring sits patiently waiting to be worn. Perfectly polished to shine bright, the engraving is of the highest quality, thanks to the talented engraver on site that sets to work engraving the minute your order hits his desk. A message card is also included to write any personal message u wish, while also featuring instructions on how to look after the secret message ring.
I was so impressed of the Martha Jackson website because its really easy to navigate around to find your perfect piece of jewellery. Once found, the drop down menus glide you through the process to personalise the piece to your choice, while the checkout process is stress-free and easy. The huge range caters for all tastes, whether your looking for a statement fashion piece or a personalised gift, there is no doubt you or the recipient will be wearing it with love. Use the following discount code BM10 to surprise someone special or add a luxury piece into your own jewellery collection. X Neil.

Luxury Hair Care THERAPI.

Treat your hair to luxury, salon professional products at an affordable price, by THERAPI. The new and exclusive range has just launched in the UK and is a must-have to take your hair care routine to the next level. The paraben and sulphate free range includes the multi-beneficial ingredient Baobab Oil that is included in every product in their range. The light oil moisturisers and hydrates any hair type, without weighing it down or making hair look greasy, while also offering strength, repair and conditioning for healthier shiny hair.
The THERAPI range consists of a 3-step regime that is easy to follow and offer products that are suitable for your hair and style. The two cleansers, signature or brightening, is your first step to glorious healthy hair. The brightening cleanser is great for enhancing and brightening, while banishing brassiness in blond, white or grey hair. The purple coloured cleanser with blue lupin colour correction technology gently cleanses the hair, when massaging all over for 1-2 minutes. Enriched with Baobab oil, hair is instantly soft throughout the rinsing stage and a beautiful scent uplifts your senses. Purple shampoos can sometimes leave the hair a little dry, but i was so impressed on how well the hair felt moisturised, while also feeling stronger thanks to the keratin amino acids that are included in the formula. Coloured hair can instantly lose its vibrancy, especially if you are using the wrong products, each time the brightening cleanser is applied it prevents colour fade thanks to its sunflower seed technology. 
Moving on to step two there are four choices to choose from, moisturising, repairing, strengthening or volumising. The repairing conditioner targets heat damage and chemically processed hair to offer a solution to any distressed or damaged hair. Strengthening using protein based technology, while also being pH balanced for increased care, the repairing conditioner is a must-have in your hair care regime. Applying to wet hair and leaving for 1-2 minutes to enjoy the luxury scent, hair is transformed throughout the rinsing stage. Restored to its former glory by feeling stronger and perfectly moisturised like you have applied a mask, i highly recommend the product if u colour your hair and use heat styling tools regularly.
Switch up your styling methods in step three by choosing between the volumising spray, smoothing cream, shimmer and shine spray or the matt styler. Use the matt styler, which is suitable for all hair types, to create a mattifying medium hold for your or any hairstyle you wish to create. Applying to damp or dry hair, the beeswax and microcrystalline waxes create texture and matt definition, without any heavy build up you can experience when using styling products. The light lotion instantly moisturisers the hair and is great for applying after the gym, or for those mornings when your in a rush, for a quick long-lasting hold. 
The THERAPI range consists of products you are wanting in your hair care regime. Containing colour lock technology and protecting hair from harmful UV rays, the three products i have used contain the most beneficial ingredients to care for your hair. Paraben and sulphate free, while offering extreme heat protection up to 250°c, all the products are at an affordable price of £9.99. Improve the condition, while lavishing your hair, by checking out the luxury hair care brand that is THERAPI. Receive a free THERAPI candle when buying any two or more THERAPI products from the THERAPI website. The code is AJC93BLM. Enter the unique blogger code into the ‘order comments’ field during the checkout (NOT THE PROMO CODE SECTION). From this, the THERAPI team will then package out your free candle with the other products ordered. X Neil.

D’ALCHÉMY Age Defence Broad-Spectrum Remedy Travel Pack.

The newly launched organic brand D’ALCHÉMY introduce a deluxe anti-aging skincare range that contains potent natural ingredients combined with technologically advanced formula's. All the products work in harmony with your skin to reduce any reactions you may suffer from, while the key ingredients used in each of the formulations have been clinically proven in trials for you to see and feel the benefits when used. The 100% vegan friendly skincare brand avoid using synthetic substances and animal-derived components, while the whole range is cruelty free and the products arrive with bio-photonic glass packaging to protect the formulations inside.

The travel pack contains three remedy products for a host of skin and complexion problems. Arriving beautifully packaged, the products are situated in a pull-out draw and the box details all the information about each product on the back. Obviously stating its a travel pack, these are ideal to fit into your holiday bag, but they are also a nice introduction to the brand if you are looking to try some new skincare products and then purchase the full sized editions.
The micellar cleansing water is a product that sets itself apart from the usual micellar waters that are on the market to purchase. Obtaining precious rose hydrosol and rich natural plant extracts, the combination of its ingredients soothe, provide antiseptic benefits and have anti-ageing properties. Spraying onto a cosmetic pad and wiping around your face, even around your sensitive eyes and mouth, it efficiently removes any impurities and products you have applied to refresh and cleanse your skin. I tend to find some micellars are a bit hit-or-miss because you end up using more on application just to make sure your skin is cleansed. One swipe and u can instantly feel your skin breathe, while also being perfectly soothed and hydrated, ready for your skincare products to be applied. Containing no soap, fragrances or colouring, the micellar water is ideal for the most sensitive of skins to use in the morning and evening.
The age defence broad-spectrum remedy features active ingredients to tackle all skin problems with its inclusive formula. Pigmentation and uneven skin tone is lightened and improved by the sea-origin ingredients, while skin's hydration is instantly boosted from the multifunctional glycans that are present. The "Herbal Botox" african flower acmella stimulates the biomechanical function of fibroblasts and strengthens collagen structure for plump and firm skin, while skin is protected and boosted with the antioxidant effects from guarana, acerola and cranberry. Applying to cleansed skin of the face, neck and decolletage using your fingertips to massage, the light cream instantly absorbs into skin reviving your complexion for the day ahead.
The intensive skin repair oil is your go-to-product to apply at bedtime for when your skin is repairing overnight. The unique oil features a cocktail blend of vitamins, antioxidants, fatty acids and plant oils to support and stimulate the skins natural healing and regeneration process. Featuring rosehip seed, mastic, monoi, argan, linseed and buriti oil, all these help to nourish and stimulate skin regeneration, while also improving fines lines and wrinkles. Anti-oxidant support from guarana, acerola, sea buckthorn, cranberry, and camucamu help to prevent premature ageing and supports defence mechanisms within the skin. Applying 2-3 drops using the pipette and massaging into cleansed skin, the oil absorbs really quickly without leaving any trace of itself. I was really impressed of how little you need to use and there was no greasiness on the skin after application, just hydrated, smooth and a perfected complexion.
I was really impressed of all the three products and how the range uses the richest and most potent creams, focusing on the most troublesome aspects of skin aging, to offer a solution to a problem skin and complexion. Only using natural & organic ingredients, you can be assured that what your applying to your skin is of the highest quality because of the efficiency of key active ingredients proven by clinical studies.
