More Beauty Swaps

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer


I'm not too bothered with hair products; I like a mask here and there but I don't have one that I swear by and I always try a different one (usually, what's on offer in Boots).
Then, I heard that the Elasticizer was originally created for Audrey Hepburn so I HAD to try it.
This is pre-shampoo treatment with improves elasticity and shine and provides UV protection.
I love it! It will, definitely, become a staple in my hair routine (in fact, I noticed it's on the 'wish-list' on buyapowa and looking forward to buy a full size!!).
I swapped with the gorgeous Emily @ peoniesandsweetpeas.blogspot.com

Trind Nail Repair

This is a treatment supposed to straighten your nails - you need to apply it everyday for 2 weeks but remove the previous coat before (which I thought was a pain plus using acetone everyday... surely can't do any good). I really didn't see any improvement on my nails appearance but I liked the shiny finish so I will just use it up as a top coat.

The Balm Frat Boy Blush




This is such a gorgeous colour!!! It has no shimmer, not too over-powering but easy buildable and so cream - it's a joy to apply. Definitely, one of my fave blusher of all time. <3

Both of the above, traded with the talented Katie @ Facebook.com/heartbeads


Gatineau Strategie Jeuness Throat Gel

Gatineau Defi Lift 3D Mask has been on my wish-list for a long time (and probably stay there for a bit longer) - apparently, it's a red carpet must have... so when I saw this product, I jumped at the chance of trying the brand and hopefully banish the double chin, before the big day!! ;)
So far so good - I'm loving this gel: it's very fresh and light, lovely smell and it has definitely a tensor effect. I would expect this to be very expensive so I don't think I'm gonna buy again but I'm definitely enjoying this tube.

Elizabeth Arden All-Over Cellulite Skin Treatment with Green Tea


I didn't really enjoy this product - It smelled funny and it didn't do anything for my cellulite, to be honest. Also, it was a bit sticky and It didn't even firm my skin. I think it has been discontinued now and I understand why.

Biotherm Body Resculpt Svelt 



Biotherm is one of my favourite body cream on the market - sure, they're on the expensive side but I like how they perform and I usually stock up when they are on offer (they regularly run 3for2 in Boots)... and this one didn't disappoint either. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find it on the market in Uk - they have probably replaced it with their S & D code but it's still available to buy in Europe.
Last three creams got from Martina Smith.

This Works Clean Skin Daily Wash



Since receiving my Clarisonic at Christmas, I have been trying all different cleansers with it. This one is, definitely, in the top 3: It works very well with the Clarisonic but it fairs well also 'manually'.
It gets rid of make up easily and the olive oil performs as a moisturiser too. It never dries my skin or make me break out. I'll definitely consider buy the full size.
Swapped with Dorothy @ http://dorothyinbeauty.blogspot.com/

Dead Sea Spa Magik Delicate Boosting Mask



I'm a huge fan of this brand - and you can read me raving about their body stuff here & here.
Unfortunately, the face mask didnt live up to my expectations; it really didn't do anything for me. :(
I received this from Charlotte Johnson.

Are you a fellow swapper?? :)

Escentual.com Haul 2/2

Here is what I got with the 2nd voucher:


Guerlain Meteorites Perles in Teint Rose'
Another Guerlain product - Hurray!!! - actually, I think these are the only Guerlain's that I own; I tried the foundations before but I was never wowed enough to buy them.
Another item off the wish-list!
I wanna find a good finishing powder - I have tried this only once but It seems a bit shimmering??... Maybe if I take out some of the 'white shimmer pearls'... anyone using the Meteorites??
The box, again, is beautiful and it smells divine too; I'm happy to have it and hopefully - with a bit of practise - I'll make it work for me.





it arrived a bit dusty but no balls were broken
product cleaned

Clarins Lift Minceur
This is a cellulite control, smoothing and firming body cream. I always use anti-cellulite creams because I do see a difference on my skin. I use more expensive ones or cheaper ones, I tried many brands and as soon as I stop, I see the condition worsen. 
At the moment, it's on special price at £28.40 instead of £35.50 (even cheaper than on Cheapsmells.com).
My sister recommended this, she said she saw a slimming effect - and I'm gonna put it to the test!

Escentual.com 1/2


So, you'll remember few weeks ago BuyaPowa.com ran a promotion for a Escentual.com £50 voucher for £30 - well, I ended up getting 2... naughty! :D
First of all, let me say that I'm very impressed with this company: I had never purchased from the website before and they have good brands at competitive prices. Also, the delivery is super-fast: Free First Class on orders over £50.
They include a sweet 'Thank you note' in their packages and a wee gift (see nail file, perfume sample).

This is what I got with 1 voucher:



Daniel Sandler Watercolour Blusher in Pop
I've been meaning to try these cheek stains for some months now. I chose 'Pop' which is a limited edition colour, created to raise funds for MacMillan Cancer Support.
It's the perfect watermelon shade, ideal to uplift the complexion and easily blendable and buildable.
I like these formulations a lot - I pretty rarely use (only) a powder blush anymore.




Guerlain Ecrin 4 Couleurs in Les Bois de Rose
I've been eyeing this compact for a while too; probably, because I've seen so many reviews on youtube and the colours looks really pretty and great to work with.
I was undecided on which one to buy: Les Gris and Les Fumes have some really stunning shades too but I tend to go with pink/purple eyeshadows (to complement my eyes) so I think I'm gonna get the most use out of this one.
The case is beautiful and I'm carefully keeping it fingerprint-less the longer possible ;)
 Once swatched, the eyeshadows are not disappointing. Creamy and easy to apply. Great pigment payoff.

Burt's Bees On Buyapowa

I just wanted to quickly share this offer:
I got the Burt's Bees Baby Bee Getting Started Kit for some friends that just had a wee girl last week.
I think it's also a great stocking filler for any new mum. Bargain. :)
