Lavender & Chamomile Barrier Cream (Frankincense & Rose face cream) Review

Hello guys !

Today I'll be posting my review for the lavender and Chamomile barrier cream, And the two samples of the Frankincense and rose face cream. Sent very kindly by the lovely person at Amphora Aromatics .The products came in a 60ml pot, I actually do like the pot it looks fancy.

I always suffer with really dry skin, And want to try something really different instead of using the nivea cream i do like the nivea cream as it works very well on my skin, but i really love to try out something else so here we have the gorgeous lavender and chamomile barrier cream general all purpose cream for all the family. It's Paraben Free, The cream smells so lovely and the texture feels like butter if you know what i mean, once i had put some on my hands i then massage it through my skin where i mainly get dry patches. it absorbs really quickly it's a  gentle, soothing and highly moisturising rehydrating cream that also acts as a barrier to protect the skin.. which is perfect, I cant get over the smell it's absolutely gorgeous.! I heard this can be used for babies too. 

like i said before ( used for all the family)

The weather has changed now it's getting alot chilly. This product is great especially for dry and rough skin during a very cold weather. Once applied  after being exposed to adverse weather conditions or a hard days manual labour.

Was : £5.94

Fuller Lips In Seconds! Fullips Enhancers Review

Hello Bloggers & Viewers,

I was recently sent a set of lips tool and a lips brush to review. From fullips. I was really excited to be trying out the fullips enhancer out, as I seen lots of thumps up reviews from lovely bloggers & Beauty you tubers. And here is where I tell you how fullips started.

Founder of fullips, Linda Gomez.

The creater of this gorgeous wonderful lip devices for fuller lips. A wife of 33 years| Mother of six, And grandmother of two little girls.

As she said that she had tried lots of lip plumper gels and liked quite a few but it didn't give her a very good lip line.

After she had been finding what fits  and what would allow to focus on specific area for lips. After she had been finding this on markets with no success!  She had decided to make her own lips device "Fullips" she had tried all sizes and shapes, And after much trial and error she had made down to 3 lip devices that works the best.

As her 20 year old daughter asked if she could have one, and it became her daily routine too. So Linda had to share them with other interested friends and family and that's how Fullips was born.

The packing was so gorgeous,  as it came in a lovely red gift pouch or Gift pouch (Bag) with all the products layed beautifully inside and also another smaller red pouch with a lip brush inside. At first I was like a toothbrush( just noticed they were for lips hehe.

And on top of that a pretty thank you card 

With a message & Great useful instructions & tips inside of how to use fullips and how to care for them and mostly important points you need to know before using the lip device.

From Left : Small Oval ,  ( Oval medium )  large circle- this one works perfectly on my lips.

1. Small Oval- for thin lips targeting.
2. Medium Oval- foe smaller, overall mouth size, single or both lips.
3. Large rounds- for fuller mouth and overall mouth fullnessboth lips.

I'm falling in love with all the lips enhancers. as it works so perfectly on my lips :)

At first i thought it would be hard to use the device, but after following the instructions i  had practice of how to use this enhancers properly then it worked it was like magic im telling you ! (LOL)

Also it's Enexpensive ,Painless and it's Quick, 

Purchase them Online on :

Ship internationally 

http://fullips.com/store/

http://www.ebay.com/usr/fullips

Lips brush to ex-foliate your lips, this helps my lips from peeling dry lips.

i love using it daily as it is my daily routine now. It's perfect.

Important Points :

1. Gentle Suction Only: Never hard( Caution:Hard suction can cause bruising and hard suction is never necessary.
2. Start Slowly: A few seconds at a time, Check and repeat.
3. Moisture: Water or moisturiser around your mouth area, will give you a better seal, Especially if you have dry skin or are older. This is really important if you are having trouble getting suction.
4. Relax: Your lips into the enhancer.
5. WATCH THEIR " HOW TO USE" VIDEO: 

Step 1:  Clean fullips enhancer with mild soap and water.

Step 2:  We recommend lightly exfoliating lips and the surrounding area first, with a soft washcloth or soft toothbrush, to help achieve fuller results.  Next, wet the area around your mouth with water.  This moisture is not necessary, but may help establish tighter suction which is the key to a good result.

Step 3:  Position your fullips enhancer over your mouth and lip area, hold in place, and begin sucking short puffs of air out of enhancer.  Continue until solid suction is established and enhancer is firmly around mouth. (You may have to move it around a little to get it into position to establish tighter suction)

Step 4:  Let lips relax into the enhancer.  You should feel a gentle pulling.  The amount of time for leaving fullips on will vary for the individual, but begin in 15-30 second increments.  Use finger to help break suction.

Repeat the steps until desired fullness is reached.

Step 5:  Apply your lip cosmetics as usual.

Also you could follow them on instagram : http://instagram.com/fullipsenhancer

Top Before / bottom After.
