Mini Reviews #001

Hi, my lovelies!

I can imagine by now, you all know about the #leedsbloggermeetup2012. We were given a fantastic goody bag and I have been ever since reviewing products we given. 

Today will be the last of the meet up goody reviews and the beginning of a little series you will see pop up from time to time. 

Now, I'm fully aware that some of you like the more in depth reviews that I write, but if you're like me, sometimes you like to know the quick good and bad points (if any) of a product without having to read through tons of other information. 

The mini review series will focus on three or four products at a time. I will tell you any information I feel you should know, the price and if I saw any benefit from using the product. 

If you like the idea of this post, please let me know in the comments below. If you don't, then I may not continue the series. I just felt it was a pretty good idea. 

Washi! Cloths

The Washi! hot cloth polishing kit is available here for £5.95 and is available in an array of different packaging styles. The one I received was the 'Spa' style.

The kit contains four individually wrapped hot cloths and a skin polishing towel. (We also received some cotton buds and cute little stickers.)

The Washi! hot cloths are a little thicker than muslin, retains heat a lot longer and exfoliates deep within your pores. All you have to do is dampen the cloth with warm to hot water and wring out before use. 

I absolutely adore my Washi! hot cloths. I have used then since the event with my cleanser and I feel my skin is so much clearer and smoother since.

The skin polishing towel is to be used dry. It is suggested you splash your face with water and use a small section of the towel in circular motions to get rid of any dry skin. If you are prone to acne or have broken skin, you should use this towel lightly.

Again, I love this product. I mainly use this when my skin is feeling dry, before I apply my make-up in the morning. The towel smooths skin, makes it feel soft and helps create a glow, creating the perfect base for moisturiser and then foundation.

Indola Innova Glamour Precious Oil

I've been able to find very little information about this product online. 

This is the Indola website, but as you can see, it only shows a little description of the product. 

On the bottle it says, 'Precious oil for smooth, strong and brilliantly shiny hair. Formula, with Marula oil, targets damage and reduces split ends by up to 90%.'

I have been using this product just like it says, by applying a few drops into my hands and working through towel dried hair before styling. It can also be used on dry hair, but I have yet to try that. 

So far I haven't necessarily seen an improvement of my split ends, but it if I'm honest, my hair is like split end central. So much damage. But, my hair has been a lot easier to manage, much more smooth and in over all better condition. 

I will continue to use this product until I run out and I will most definitely be repurchasing.

I have found a link on Amazon here, retailing at £10.95 for 75ml.

Angela Langford Scrub Up Exfoliator

Personally, I've never been one for using an exfoliator on my face. But after smelling this product (it smells incredible), I though, why not! 

Available here, Scrub up sells for £15.80 for 50mls. 

As you can see from the photo above, the exfoliator contains a tons of amazing ingredients. The product itself is smooth but gritty, sounds odd, but it's true. 

I have used this several times, with and without my Washi! cloths and I will most definitely be using it until in runs out. After use, my skin feels soft and clear. I was a little dubious as to how my skin would react to the exfoliant in it, but as of yet I haven't had any adverse effects. 

I find this is a brilliant product to use before applying a facial self tanner. 

Good Things Miracle Mattifier Moisturiser

Another product which smells incredible. 

The Good Things Miracle mattifier moisturiser retails for £7.99 for 100ml. The product contains ingredients like super fruits blackcurrant and goji berry, which help create that amazing scent, and is free from parabens and all of the other nasties that go along with it. 

For more information and a full list of ingredients, you can head over to the Good Things website.

This product is suitable for oily skin. Although I don't have oily skin myself, I gave this a try.

The cream is said to soak into the skin quickly, whilst absorbing any excess oils on the skin to create a perfectly moisturised, but matte and none greasy looking face. 

I very much like this product and I find it does everything it said it would on the tin. I tend to use it before applying any matte finish foundation. 

My skin is still smooth and I haven't had any issues with it breaking me out. 

The smell reminds me of something from my childhood, I just wish I could put my finger on it. 

This little sample tube will stay firmly in its spot on my desk until it's all gone.
