Love Me Beauty - June

This month's Love Me Beauty bag is full of Caudalie products and a few extra goodies as well. Caudalie is a brand I have been aware of for years now but for some reason I have never tried any of their products, so I am really happy to get the chance to do so this month! 

The element of Caudalie as a brand that very clearly stands out is the natural ingredients in all their products and that they are against animal testing; The vine and grape extracts used for our patents come from the vineyards of Bordeaux, Champagne and Burgundy. Every day, we are looking for the next "green" active ingredients to strengthen our Cosm'ethics'. 

Once again if you would like 20% off your first month use the code 'laurae20' at the checkout.

Caudalie: Divine Oil 15ml - This is a multi-use dry oil, with a formula made up of grape, hibiscus, sesame and argan combined with an anti-oxidant, which nourishes and moisturises. A multi-use, luxurious dry oil which moisturises, nourishes, and enhances thanks to its unique formula made with exceptional blend of oils (grape, hibiscus, sesame and argan) combined with patented anti-oxidant Polyphenols. 

Caudalie: Nourishing Body Lotion 50ml - In my opinion, this is the best body lotion I have ever tried. It is not sticky, overwhelmingly scented, and it also sinks into the skin so quickly, but leaves it soft for ages. Applying this after shaving my legs makes my skin feel the softest it has ever felt, and I have nothing but good things to say about this, it is a product I will definitely be repurchasing. 

Caudalie: Concentrated Brightening Essence 50ml - This smells so beautiful and fresh and really helps to make your skin appear brighter once applied, which results in make up sitting on the face much nicer. I found this great for my sensitive and dry skin giving it a lovely radiance to wake up to when used before bed. 

Caudalie: Vinoperfect Radiance Serum Complexion Correcting 10ml - I found this to be really lightweight, a huge plus as I really do not like products that feel really heavy on my skin. This is an age-defying serum, that prevents dark spots and contributes to a clearer complexion by counteracting sun damage, acne and scars. After 2 weeks use, I can see results in the overall look of my skin and my small acne scars are much less noticeable. 

Perricone MD: Face Finishing Moisturiser Tint 30ml - I have never heard of the brand before; it is an American brand that on some research I found many good reviews about, and in particular this product. This is rose scented, something that I am not overly keen on, but this is not overpowering and once applied I can not smell it on my skin. It is a lightweight tinted moisturiser, that feels hydrating and has an SPF of 30. I think this would also be great for all skin tones. 


Pixi Glow Tonic- There was also a small sample of this included in the bag, a product that I love and use in my daily skincare routine. 

There were also a few small samples from Yu-Be, a Japanese brand that I am yet to try, but as they are the perfect travel size I am waiting to take them away with me to test them out.

This has been my favourite monthly bag from Love Me Beauty so far! They have really decent sized products, if not the full size version of a product. It is an exfoliating toner that brightens dry and dull skin. 

March Favourites

It's that time again where I have put together the products I have been enjoying throughout the month of March. Some are repurchases, that I enjoyed using so much the first time around, that I then repurchased and have been loving using again. 

Vera Wang Princess Perfume -  This is a repurchase and one of my all time favourite perfumes. Not only is the bottle pretty and elegant, but I would also describe the perfume as being this. It is described by The Perfume Shop as including a mixture of apple, waterlily, mandarin meringue, golden apricot skin, dark chocolate, amber musk and vanilla. They all come together nicely to create a gorgeous scent that isn't too overpowering and wears throughout the day nicely. 

Sleek Power Plump Lip Crayon in Notorious Nude - The small nib on this lip crayon makes it really easy to apply on your lips without leaving smudgy marks or running the risk of seriously over drawing your lips. It does exactly as it is says on the tin, it plumps your lips by giving a tingling sensation as well providing a highly pigmented colour. I love the shade 'Notorious Nude', it reminds me of my all time favourite 'Velvet Teddy' from Mac, except this product is half the price. It is long lasting, with a satin finish and subtly enhances the appearance of your lips. 

Rimmel London Kate Moss Lipstick in Boho Nude - A very similar shade to the Sleek lip crayon and this 15th anniversary range from Kate's collection with Rimmel are packaged in a gorgeous rose gold colour. This range is made up of nudes and reds and from the one I own and having swatched the others in store, they are really pigmented and long lasting. It has a creamy texture which sits nicely on the lips and there are six  shades to choose from overall. 

Colosrpop Super Shock Shadow in Kaepop Sunset BLVD - This is a lovely satin warm golden bronze shade, which I found best used when applied with my finger at this gave me the most product coverage than when using a brush. It then blended really well with a fluffy brush. It is a creme powder formula and has next to no fall out, and whilst it is nice worn on its own I personally enjoy using it with a light brown shade in the crease. 

Seventeen Wow! 3 way Skin Highlighter -  This really is an every day make up product for me at the moment. It can be used as a primer, mixed in with your foundation or worn on its own. I personally like using this with my foundation for an extra glow as well as applied with a beauty blender on the top of my cheeks and below my brow bone. It is a shimmery, but not glittery, iridescent shade that is creamy and silky with a pearly sheen, and blends out well without removing any under layer of foundation. It lasts on the skin, and doesn't lose it's shine and is also great when topped up with a powder highlighter. This is only £5.99, and for that price I would definitely recommend giving this a try!


Vaseline Spray and Go Body Moisturiser - This a convenient spray lotion, making it quick and easy to moisturise your skin. I actually find it such a chore, but want to get into the habit of regularly moisturising my skin after a shower and this product makes it so easy to do so with little effort involved. It does not leave my skin sticky or greasy, buts leaves it feeling soft and hydrated. There are a few different versions and scents of this moisturiser to choose from and its super inexpensive. 

Gifts for her

1) Soap and Glory Hand Food Trio - A cute package of mini hand creams in three different scents.

2) Pandora Sparkling Open Work Heart Charm - This one is perfect for Valentine's Day, but any Pandora item is a winner for this occasion.  

3) Morris & Co Strawberry Thief Bodycare Set - Another cute trio perfect for bath time. 

4) Too Faced Love flush blusher - Perfect and cute packaging with a number of shades to choose from. 

5) Pandora Linked Love Ring - Again, another fitting purchase for Valentine's Day. 

6) I Heart Makeup Blushing Hearts Blush - This has such cute packaging, is pretty cheap for what it is, and is still an amazing product. 

7) Nars Satin Lip Pencil - Easy and precise application and an amazing range of colours.

8) Michael Kors Sunglasses - An expensive gift, but gorgeous none the less, and with Spring and Summer on the way, a lovely pair of sunglasses will definitely be a winner. 

9) Diptyque Eau de Toilette - A perfume is a gift that in my opinion, you can not go wrong with, particularly for a perfume obsessed girl like myself. 

10) House of Hackney Pineapple Candle Holder - An expensive example, but cute home decor is also a good idea, and anything candle related is a winner I believe. 

11) Skinnydip Hip Flask - Useful and very cute. 

12) Chokers may have been all the go last year, but I still enjoy wearing them and this one is a gorgeous statement piece. 

13) Tom Ford Perfume - Pricey, but gorgeous and even in a gorgeous bottle. 

14) Rip Curl Chile Hat - There are loads of these hats about at the moment, and are a real statement piece, that is a great addition to any wardrobe. 

15) Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick - There are so many different shades to choose from and this range leaves your lips smooth and protected. 

Have a wonderful Valentine's Day everyone! 

Beauty Favourites 2016

There were some amazing products released in 2016, loads that I liked, and some that I just happened to discover throughout the year. I have listed below the ones that I loved near enough since the first use and use pretty much on a daily basis. 

Nivea Men Post Shave Balm 
I purchased this at the beginning of the year in 2016, and a full year later I am still using it. If you have not heard about this being used as a primer as part of your make up routine, then where on earth were you in 2016. This does not really blur imperfections or pores, but it smooths the skin and keeps your making looking fresh and seated in place all day. 

NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipsticks
I have three of these now, as they are long lasting, non drying, and have an amazing range of different shades. 

Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer

Simply the best highlighter that I have ever used. After the first use I new I loved it, as it was the first one I had tried in ages that really did cover and brighten the dark circles under my eyes. It is creamy but blends out really nice and does not crease. 

Urban Decay Afterglow 8 Hour Powder Highlighter 'Sin'
This is something that I had to wait a while for before I could get my hands on it, as it was always out of stock and when I did finally purchase it, I was so glad that I did, and the wait was definitely worth it. I get comments every time I wear it, it is quite intense but not overly glittery or shimmery. 

Freedom Eyebrow Pomade 

The product I use every day to fill in and shape my brows. It is such an amazing dupe for the pomade from Anastasia and this one is pretty much a quarter of the price. The shades are great however as far as I am aware, the lightest shade is 'blonde' which I use, which to me is definitely not a light shade. 

Make Up Revolution Pro Fix Fixing Spray
I have re purchased this so many times in the past year as it just never fails me. There are two versions of this which is great as you can buy the one perfectly tailored for your skin type. It does not have an overwhelming scent, it dries quickly and helps my make up stay in place all day. 

Sleek Solstice Highlighting Palette
 I reviewed this product here, the packaging is beautiful and luxurious looking, there are four different shades with different formulas, and all are highly pigmented.

Rimmel Exaggerate Waterproof Eyeliner
I was really impressed with this, as I can be quite picky when it comes to liquid eyeliner. The pen is very black, easy to use, and does not dry out quickly. I just wish there was more product actually there, as I have used eyeliners before that have more of a felt tip end than this one, but the product itself is great. 

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation

My favourite foundation, that never lets me down and gives a dewy, lovely finish to my skin, covering up my imperfections and pores. 

What were your favourite beauty products of 2016? 

TerraPrime Snail Cream

TerraPrime were kind enough to send me their Snail Cream to try out and review over the Christmas period. My skin has not been too bad recently, but it could definitely be better and with all the food and drink consumed as of late, I think this has been keeping my skin healthy and acne prone. 

The name, when I first heard it, did not exactly appeal to me, but it did make me curious to try it and read up about what it was before I received it, as how often do you use a skincare product with the word 'snail' in it? The product is kept in a pretty, very high end looking, 50ml jar with a gold, screw style lid for easy access.  

Snails are used by spas and doctors around the World for their benefits of contributing to younger and smoother looking skin. This cream is described as being anti-ageing, with an anti-wrinkle solution, that takes care of your skin to keep it free of blemishes, acne and pores. Since using this daily for around two weeks my skin has remained clear of acne and blemishes and feels healthy and fresh when I wake in the morning. The snail mucus within this, along with collagen and Vitamin E provides your skin with the moisture it needs to be healthy and free of dryness and irritation. What also stood out to me when reading about this product is that it is ideal for sensitive skin 

The moisturiser itself is fast absorbing and non greasy, which means that none is transferred to my pillow during the night, and I don't go to bed with my skin feeling sticky and greasy. I assumed that the cream would have a strong scent to it, due to the name, however there is no strong perfumed smell just a small scent of a normal moisturiser that isn't too overpowering. I was pleasantly surprised with this product, and again it was a pleasure to collaborate with TerraPrime Beauty!

Magic Mirror Mini Review

When I was approached by Magic Mirror - a Bristol based brand, to receive and review their interesting and innovative product, I was so intrigued and excited as it sounded like nothing I had seen or heard of before. 


Magic Mirror is a full length travel mirror, that is compact, and non-glass so it can be taken anywhere! Every time it comes to travelling, I always worry over the mirror in the hotel room, will it be one of those huge ones that always seem to be placed as far away from the natural light as possible, or one that is so small I cannot see my full face at a time?! To combat this problem I have to ensure I am carrying make up products that have a suitable mirror with them but these tend to be small and it frustrates me when I can't view my whole face. This is a product that I never knew I needed until I got it, and now I can't foresee a time where I won't be using it.  

This product is simply amazing; it is light, compact, easy to carry and solves all of the above problems. You can choose from a range of different colours and patterns and choose from Beauty Editions, or Mini's which are slightly smaller. The prices range between £29.99 and £45.00, a great price for an innovative product, that comes with four acrylic mirrors, and three different ways of using the product. 

I was kindly sent the gorgeous peach colour Magic Mirror Mini, which is perfect for me as she fits so well in my handbag. It is multi functional as it can be used in three different positions, whilst it is a full length mirror, it can also be used in a vanity position when placed on it's side, which I love, or in the pyramid position so two people can use it at once! 

You may look at this product and wonder just why, but I wonder why I have never had one before, and I have not gone a day without using this since I have had it!

AA Skincare - Frankincense & Rose Clay Face Mask

My skin can get dehydrated quite easily, as well as dry and so I have a fairly big collection of face masks and creams. However, I don't tend to reach for a mask all that often when I probably should.

Since receiving the Frankincense & Rose Clay Face Mask, I have been regularly using a face mask much more often, and can already see and feel how much of a difference it has been making to my skin. I am familiar with this brand, and have enjoyed using products from them before, and so I had high expectations for this and I was not disappointed. It is infact my favourite product of their's I have so far tried. 

This is a natural clay mask that is made with essential oils to help to improve the skin and leave it hydrated. The clay is quite thick and dries within five - ten minutes, and is really easy to wash away afterwards. 

The scent is quite strong, which doesn't bother me, and I find a little bit goes a long way.  

I am happy to be able to give my readers a 20% discount: use BLOG20 at their website! (Link below) 

I hope to review more products from AA Skincare in the future. Visit them on social media Facebook / Twitter / https://instagram.com/aaskincareuk/ or visit them at their website http://www.aaskincare.co.uk/

Red Lip Winners

Red Lipstick is a shade I take very seriously in my make up collection. It has to be non-drying and long lasting. A bold red lip is such a classic look and sometimes it is difficult to find a shade that flatters your complexion well. This can usually be solved, I find, by finding a specific eye look that compliments that particular shade. These five are the red lipsticks I cannot live without. 

 1) Rouge Edition Velvet in '08 Grand Cru' - Bourjois Paris 

2) Lasting Finish by Kate Moss in '01' - Rimmel London 

3) Colorburst Lip Butter in '035 Candy Apple' - Revlon 

4) Shade '13' -Make Up Academy

5) Ruby Woo - Mac 

   

Left to right - Revlon Lip Butter, Kate Moss Rimmel, Ruby Woo Mac, MUA, Bourjois Rouge Edition. 

Each shade varies in texture, finish and pigmentation. The Revlon lip butter is a lot sheerer than the other shades and is glossier in finish, but it is still a pigmented shade. The Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick is long lasting and non drying with a matte finish, just like Ruby Woo from Mac. The MUA lipstick is also similar in texture to the Mac and Rimmel lipsticks, but I find it is a slightly lighter shade. The Bourjois lipstick is a matte finish but it is different from other matte lipsticks I own. This feels like a mix between a cream and a mousse and although the product dries very quickly it is really soft to apply. It is a deep red/burgundy shade but is also quite sheer and so a few coats are needed, and once applied this product does not move. 

What are your holy grail red lipsticks?

Review: Ahava Time to Hydrate Gentle Eye Cream

After kindly being sent this gentle, but moisturising eye cream and having used it twice a day for a number of weeks now I feel I can bring you an honest and in depth review. 

Ahava have become experts on dead sea minerals and their effectiveness in beauty products, creating products that include ingredients that are kind to skin, free of animal testing, paraben free and approved for sensitive skin (I was already liking the brand at this stage!) There are many, (too many to name!) natural additional key ingredients in Ahava's products, but a main one is the Osmoter; 'powering the entire product range' is Ahava's 'exclusive blend of natural minerals' which is obtained from Dead Sea saline water. 

I have sensitive and dry skin, and in particular, really dry under eyes. I have tried many eye creams, eye serums and creams over the years to hydrate the skin under my eyes and combat any dry areas that my foundation and concealer sometimes stick to, instead of blending in. The tag line 'time to hydrate' in Ahava's product time to hydrate gentle eye cream immediately interested me, and although I have tried many products, some better than others, I don't get tired of trying out new ones as I truly believe in the importance of skin care. 

This eye cream claims to 'deliver rich moisture' and give the skin 'a visibly younger appearance.' Now as I am still only 21 years old, I have not noticed any difference in my skin in terms of youthful appearances, however I can say that the product really does give moisture to the very delicate eye area. The skin under my eyes is calmer, much softer, dark circles are lightened and any puffiness I had has been reduced. I use it morning and night, and find that it works really well under make up. My concealer blends much better into my skin and no longer just sits upon it. Also, when this product is applied there is a nice cooling feeling to the skin. 

Ahava's eBay store is a great platform to browse all products, read reviews and find out information on the products they sell. The item was shipped to me in impressive, record speed and Ebay is doing an offer of saving £5 when you spend £100. At £22 the product is pricier than some drugstore brands, but a little goes a long way with this and I can see mine lasting for a long while. I'm not all that keen at having to stick my fingers into the pot, but that is just my pickiness with packaging, I use my fingers to tap in the product anyways!

I noticed immediate results with this eye cream, if you are after a hydrating, but non sticky and non drying eye cream then find the product at Ahava's easy to navigate, eBay store: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Ahava-Active-Dead-Sea-Mineral?_trksid=p2047675.l2563

My Top Summer Nail Polishes

I still find painting my nails sort of a chore, it's safe to say I don't particularly enjoy the task; I either get impatient waiting for them to dry, think to myself why on earth did I pick this colour once it's on my nails, or I end up smudging them because I get an itch or I need to move - why does this always happen?!

However, I still buy way more polish than I need and get excited whenever brands bring out a range of new colours or finishes. Despite not particularly enjoying the task of painting them, I still do it, and enjoy picking out a shade suitable to an upcoming event or a season of the year to match an outfit or to make me feel happy. I love wearing bright colours on my fingers and toes in the summer, and wearing a pair of pretty sandals to show them off, or accessorise with some sparkly rings and bracelets to really accentuate my hands. 

In this post I share with you my favourite shades that will make you feel totally summery for this season. There are a range of neon, bright, pale, shimmery, matte and even scented shades so there are plenty to choose from. 

Barry M 'Eat My Dust' - Speedy Quick Dry

This is a gorgeous pale blue colour and as the name suggests it dries quickly to achieve perfectly coated nails efficiently. It has a flat brush to cover more of the nail with one coat and I find after two coats my nails are full of the colour and aren't streaky or sheer. Little to no clean up is needed after because of the style of the brush and this is something I really look for in a polish as we've already established my dislike for the task of painting my nails. I find one coats dries after about 60 seconds and I have touch dry nails within five minutes after using this polish. 

Maybelline New York 'Pink in the Park' - Super Stay 7 Days

Without a top coat this polish lasted four days on my nails before it chipped or started flaking. You can get an even finish quickly due to the flat brush as more polish can be distributed onto the nails. This a bubblegum pink shade that looks great with a tan, but is perfect for any skin tone. 

Sinful Colours 'Snow Me White' 

When my nails are well manicured I like wearing a white shade and for £1.99 Sinful Colours offers a great polish. It's not streaky or watery and opaque with just two coats. It is a little thick but for the inexpensive price it does the job. 

Rimmel London 'Goddess' - Salon Pro Kate Moss

This polish also has a flat wide brush to distribute a lot of polish onto the nail. I found it was quite sheer after one coat, but after about two or three coats there was a good amount of polish on my nails. The polish has a gel shine finish and I found that it didn't chip until about five days wearing it.

Barry M 'Guava' - Gelly Hi Shine

This polish has a very glossy gel like finish and is rich in colour with just one coat. It is a gorgeous turquoise blue colour and is bright and perfect for summer. 

Barry M 'Mediterranean' - Aquarium Collection

This a mix of a pink and copper to create a shiny colour that looks beautiful in the sun. 

Models Own 'Banana Split' - Fruit Pastel Collection

This polish is from a range of different scented shades from models own which are made up of creamy, pastel shades. Each has a different fruit scent and comes with retro scratch and sniff stickers on the lid. Pale colours tend to be fairly sheer but this polish can be easily built up with two to three coats.

Models Own 'Beach Hut' - Polish For Tans Collection 

New this year, this is the first of three in this post from this collection. This colour is a super bright, neon and attention grabbing orange.

Models Own 'Cocktail Hour' - Polish For Tans Collection

Definitely the brightest in this collection, this polish is a neon coral and I love wearing it with a lipstick I own which is an exact colour match!

Models Own 'Malibu Pink' Polish For Tans Collection

This is a bright, easter egg, barbie pink and would compliment any summer outfit. Two coats for this collection works best I find. 

Let me know what your favourite shades are!

May Favourites

Magnitone Pulsar - I was very generously sent this product by Magnitone to test and review, which I have written a whole blog post about here, so I won't go into too much detail, but this product is so great for cleaning and cleansing your face of any make up or dirt. You can choose your own cleanser to use with it, and it can also be used for full body use, or to soothe skin after shaving. The pulsar uses a sweeping motion and glides across the skin as you guide it. I use this twice a day and is now my favourite step in my skincare routine. 

Garnier Moisture Match Protect and Glow - I was recommended this range from someone on Instagram and for some reason I had no idea about it! There are a number of different moisturisers in this range for different skin types. I picked up two on my last visit to Boots but wanted to include this one in my favourites as I have been loving using this one daily. This is a light lotion that smells lemony and fresh which contains light reflecting pearls to give a healthy looking glow to the skin. I like to put this one on in the morning before my foundation, I find that it helps my foundation to sit better on the skin. Plus, this lotion contains SPF20. 

Seventeen Wow Skin Highlighter - This is another product that I have reviewed on my blog before, but for some reason I stopped using it, until recently when I picked it up again and now it has become a part of my make up routine. The highlighter has three different uses, to prime, to use as a stand alone highlight, or to mix with your foundation. I enjoy using it mixed with my foundation the most as it adds a healthy glow to my skin.

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation -  Again, a product I have recently reviewed on my blog, but it is still new to me, and after finally parting with my pennies last month, I am so pleased it is in my make up collection. I wouldn't describe this foundation as dewy, but it does give a glow to the skin, with a more satin finish, making the skin look healthy and natural. The foundation does stick to dry patches and so ex-foliating regularly and applying a moisturiser, one with spf as this foundation doesn't have one, helps it to blend nicely and sit on the skin well. 

Flat Contour Cosmetic Brush - This is my favourite buy of the last month! From Ebay this brush was only £1.89 and if you love contouring then this cheap, but great quality brush is one you definitely need in your collection. I find that this brush picks up just the right amount of product and is an ideal shape/size to add good definition to your cheeks before blending it in with a soft brush to get rid of any harsh lines. 

Max Factor Skin Luminizer Foundation - This is the foundation that I have been enjoying mixing with the seventeen wow skin highlighter, I find that they work perfectly together to give a nice glow to my skin, and even though the foundation does this in itself, I found that when mixed with the highlighter it sat a lot better on my face. It is a very natural looking foundation with light to medium coverage and I was surprised at how well I could colour match myself as I find this quite difficult to do with drugstore foundations due my fair/pale skin. 

Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in 'Nudist' - This is my new favourite lip product for a subtle hint of colour, I find it is my natural lip colour but better and it is moisturising but not sticky on the lips. I like the vanilla scent and I think the packaging is cute, with a twist up tube for easy application. 

Magnitone Pulsar - How It Aids The Application Of Fake Tan

Recently I very kindly received Magnitone's Pulsar - Advanced Daily Skincare Brush to use and review and share my thoughts on how it aids the application of fake tan, exfoliates and smooths natural tan and also how it helps to combat skin irritation after shaving. I've just completed the 7 day challenge and I cannot say enough good things about this product, to start, here are a few facts about the brush.

• advanced electronic exfoliating brush
• 4 modes to enhance every part of your skincare routine
• suitable for all skin types
• improvements to skin in 7 days
• comes with two brush heads - one for facial cleansing and one for rest of body
• fully waterproof - for use in the shower, bath or during your cleansing facial routine
• all over body use
• massage mode for stimulation of the skin and increase in blood circulation
• provides oxygen and vital nutrients, promoting skin metabolism and collagen snythesis

Magnitone states that the Pulsar 'is a daily skin cleansing and toning system for face & body to effectively cleanse, refresh and stimulate your skin, helping to give it a wonderful natural youthful glow.' Although the brush can also be used for cleansing the face, which I have been doing and immediately noticed the effects on my skin that Magnitone claim, my review is sorely about how it contributes to the application of tan and soothes skin after shaving. 

I have sensitive skin, and nearly always after shaving my skin becomes red and irritable. I was so excited to start using this product to see how it could help to soothe and smooth my skin and I am very happy with the results. When used with the body cleanse brush head, the pulsar removed any dry and rough skin in a more gentle way than any other ex-foliation method I had used before. I admit that I probably didn't exfoliate anywhere near as often as I should have before using this brush, but after seeing immediate differences in my skin, I don't find exfoliation as much of a chore anymore and more of an enjoyable task as the brush is so easy and simple to use. After use, my legs felt much smoother and silkier and kept the razor rashes and irritable skin at bay. A plus of the Magnitone Pulsar is that you can use a cleanser or body wash of your choice when using the product to best suit your skin. 

As the brush removed dead skin cells and any dry patches, particularly the rough skin I had on my elbows and knees, I found that my fake tan was more easily and evenly applied, and I didn't have to worry about the product sticking to any dry patches of skin. When applying my fake tan (cocoa brown tan) with a mit (also cocoa brown) I could feel an improvement on the way that it glided onto my skin. 

The pulsar uses a sweeping action, gliding across the skin, so there is no need to scrub or use harshly as the brush does all the work for you, you just have to guide the brush around the areas of your skin. It brings the impurities gently out of the pores and removes any trapped dirt. The pulsar also comes with a wireless travel charger and an instruction booklet. 

A few more benefits of using the Pulsar: 

• firmer and tighter skin texture
• reduced appearance of visible pores
• helps to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

I am so pleased with the results from using this product, and it has become a part of my daily facial cleansing routine and I use it every day in the shower for body exfoliation. The product is definitely worth the money in my opinion for clean and smooth skin. You can purchase the Magnitone Pulsar at https://magnitone.co.uk/shop/magnitone-pulsar/ and any other of their products on their website. The Pulsar is also available at other retail stores/sites such as Boots and Amazon. 

Thanks again to Magnitone for sending me this amazing product, my skin has improved so much since I have received it, and I cant imagine it not being a part of my skincare routine in the future. Find them at https://magnitone.co.uk/ , on Instagram , Twitter or on Facebook.
