Huge Fan!

I was desperate to try an Illamasqua foundation after a makeup artist I work with raved about hers and suggested I give it a go. A lovely lady behind the Illamasqua counter at Sellfriges was nice enough to spend time with me to go through a series of swatches, after a lengthy consultation on my ezcma, occassional breakouts, and difficulty in choosing the correct colour. Its the first time ive actually purchased a non-high street branded foundation, and Im so glad I did! The foundation is amazingly easy to blend, immaculately colour matched, and very light on the skin. One of my biggest pet hate is foundations either sliding, or becomming chalky over time, this foundation does neither. There is no 'fake' appearance either, a small amount is all that is required for a natural yet flawless dewy look. It does not aggrevate my eczma either! I tend to mix it with the Satin Primer for a more natural look, or over the Satin Primer for a more fixed coverage. Definately an Illamasqua convertee <3

Nom ^_^

I am fast becomming adicted to this stuff! I usually make my own lip scrub out of sugar and honey, but bought this on a bit of whim on my usual bath bomb stock up (Love!!!), and I have to admit it is lovely! Does the same job as my own made stuff, making lips lovely and soft after removing all the chapped flakey skin, but its not greasy and abrasive, unlike my own. The bonus is the taste, who can resist vanilla and chocolate really? :)

Good Enough To Eat!

Officially the most amazing soap I have ever encountered. Its rare I would get so excited over something so small, but those of you who have smelt it, you will be the ones to understand! I am usually heavily allergic to soap in that I have eczma on my hands, but this stuff doesnt aggrevate it in the slightest. I use it for shaving as it lets the razor move smoothly over the skin without nicking. Quick tip ;) xxx

Nice Suprise!

I realised some years ago that I got on better with organic/ naturally derived face creams to combat my eczma than regular high street brands. I used to find that normal excma creams sat too heavily on my skins surface, leading to an overly oily, often broken out apearance. On a whim I used an organic cream and found it to be much lighter, and allowed my skin to breathe. So with this in the back of my mind, I tried Celestial as an alternative. Admitedly upon first impressions, I thought the cream would be far far too thick for my liking, but I was swiftly proven wrong. Within seconds the cream just melts into a milky like substance, bledning effortlessly all over the skin, and is absorbed within seconds, leaving no greasey residue. Best of all for me, it takes the tightness straight out of my ecczma, always usefull for those of us who like to have facial expressions! Lovely cream, would definately reccomend! xxx

Yummmy!

I have incredibly dry skin with eczema, and tend to get through body creams like no ones business, so rarely warrant spending out alot on them as after a week or two I have used them up. Generally, I would buy quite a thick cream as opposed to a lotion as I find lotions dont tend to quench the tightness of my very dry skin. However, after a consultation with one of the lovely ladies down at my local Lush, I was pursuaded to try out this very lotion. Ive been using it now for a couple of weeks and I have to admit I am incredibly pleasantly suprised! The smell is heavenly, after growing up with my mum as an aromatherapist, the smells of natural oils always makes me feel all happy inside. Beyond the incredible scent, Dream Cream is one of those amazing products where a little goes a long way, after two weeks I have barely made a dent in the tub, and yet each and every time it leaves my skin feeling wonderfully soft and smooth. Even chill blanes are banished! So all in all, a lovely product and a definate convertee :) <3
