UltraSun Suntan Lotion Review!

28 August 2018
So i was recently sent over some suntan lotion to try before my holiday, if you didnt know because i  havent blogged in like forever last month I went away to Spain so i tested out all these products while i was.

Ultrasun are brand that has been going for around 20 years providing lotion for those with sensitive skin. For someone who suffers with eczema and super sensitive skin this was music to my ears as i find suntan lotion alway reacts to my skin. 


Ultrasun Family SPF 30

So i picked the family size high protection 30 spy suntan lotion, i used this on holiday for everywhere but my face and i really enjoyed using it. I didnt really burn and if i did that was my fault not the suntan lotion. I cant fault this product, if you didnt know i have eczema so often react to suntan lotion and it can also make my skin feel quite itchy and i was very very happy that this one worked a dream! 

Ultrasun Anti- Age SPF 30
This was actually the product i was excited to see most as i was in desperate need to get a suntan lotion that was specifically just for more face as a lot of them seem to clog up my pores and i end up with spots on holiday which is definitely not what i want! I used this everyday whilst i was on holiday and its definitely going to be my go to! I didn't burn, it didn't react with my extremely sensitive skin and most of all it did not break me out in spots so i have nothing but good things to say about this product! 

Ultrasun Anti- Age Tinted SPF 50


I mainly wanted this product for in the U.K. because i think a lot of people will admit they shy away from using protection when in the uk and often think oh its not that sunny but the sun can still be doing damage to your skin even if its not a scorcher of a day.  So I've been wearing this in the summer days rather than using foundation, this just feels as though your wearing moisturiser and doesn't feel heavy on your skin at all. Again this didnt react with my skin luckily and didnt break me out so i would highly recommend this to any sensitive skin or not!

Ultrasun Face Overnight Recovery Mask

I used this on holiday each day after being in the sun all day. Whilst i was on holiday i did get a bit of sun burn around my eyes and on a general basis the sun does dry out my skin, upon applying this felt like it instantly cooled my skin down almost like after sun. This also left my skin really hydrated i didn't even feel the need for moisturiser which is new for me!
I would highly recommend this to anyone who is going away and suffers from dry skin or even just irritated skin after being in the sun.

Organic Products

5 July 2017


I was recently sent a range of Organyc beauty products, as you can probably guess all their products are organic which I love, there aren't enough around on the market and I'm all for using anything organic if possible. This range has won awards for the best organic products 2017, so obviously all sounds good! 


The first product I tried was the organic ear buds, firstly this box comes with 200 ear buds which is pretty standard, they are made using organic cotton and the stems are made from recycled cardboard as well as all packaging being recyclable. Overall I really liked using these, the stem is slightly less strong as normal ear buds but the ear bud itself works just as well as normal ear buds but with the added bonus of them being organic.


The next product is cotton pads, these are something I use on a regular basis so I couldn't wait to give these a go, this pack contains 70 small pads. The only downside for me about these is that they are small so I do have to use two but overall I love these they feel supper soft on your skin and it feels amazing to know they are made out of organic cotton so will be gentle and kind to you're skin.


Lastly are these cotton balls, you get 100 in this pack so is a large pack. I don't use these on a regular basis but its always nice to have these in. These are just as fluffy as you would expect and are not much different to normal cotton balls but again these have the added benefit of being organic.

Swiss Clinc Review

4 March 2017





This is a skin renewal treatment is made by Swiss Clinic, that aims to get rid of fine lines, the appearance of pores and produce collagen. This treatment comes with two products, the serum and the skin roller that are both to be used together, the serum is applied and then the skin roller is then used to roll over your skin and do its magic which I will get into later on. 

Firstly before purchasing you have to decide which size skin roller you want, the size refers to the needle(not an actual full blown needle) in the roller. There is 0.2mm and 0.5mm, the 0.2mm is best for getting rid of spots, acne scars, eczema and preventing wrinkles whereas the 0.5mm is great for preventing ageing. 

The skin roller makes small micro channels into the skin to trigger a healing processes and increase collagen using the serum applied.  It claims to "Stimulate and renew the skin - from within and without. It reduces fine lines, wrinkles and scars, softens the skin, stimulates blood circulation, improves elasticity and reduces enlarged pores. This effective treatment also leaves your skin with a more even tone, makes it more resilient, and preserves its vitality and energy by slowing the skin’s ageing process." .

The Verdict
Firstly the after applying the serum I used the roller and I absolutely love it you just feel the little pins in your skin and I don't know why but it feels so satisfying rolling it on your face. Straight away it leaves your face feeling super soft, one thing I hoped this would do is make my pores look a little smaller as some on my cheeks are starting to be noticeably big and I was really surprised at how quickly it did this! I honestly feel like this helps brighten up your face and give you glow in your skin which for me is a big bonus with having dull skin. 


You can find Swiss Clinic here and it is currently on offer for £84 with free shipping so get your hands on this bargain. 


T-Zone Skincare review

5 February 2017

This T-Zone range by Newtons Labs is a spot and blemish fighting range as they include antibacterial to rapidly remove spots and blemishes. The range has a RRP of £3.99 - £4.99 so is very affordable. The products are readily available in a number of stores including: Superdrug, B&M, Bodycare and Home & Bargains. 

T-Zone Spot Zapping Gel
This gel cooling and quick drying gel aims to prevent spots and blemishes, infused with tea tree oil and witch hazel it aims to get to work in four hours. This gets applied directly to your spot or blemish in the morning and night time. So far from using this I feel like it doesn't necessarily completely remove the spot from your face but after applying it the same day you do notice a reduction in the size and redness and overall it left my spot just looking not as noticeable which I'm definitely not complaining about. 



T- Zone Nose Pore Strips
These pore strips aim to unclog and pores, blackheads and whiteheads whilst also preventing spots. 
These are by far my favourite product of the bunch, I applied it to the nose area after wetting my face to ensure it stuck and left on for ten minutes after the ten minutes I removed the strip with little effort. In the corners it can be a little hard to pull away but I experienced very minimal pain which was so worth it. The results from this are amazing you can se afterwards on the pore strip white and blackheads that have been removed which makes me feel so much better and I will definitely be adding this into my weekly skincare routine. 


T- Zone Blackhead Facial Scrub 
This scrub works to deeply clear blackheads, pores and dead skin cells by using tea tree to overall make the skin look smoother and prevent future spots. Firstly this is a great price so affordable and it really works, you can feel the little beads in the scrub that help to remove the dead skin cells from your skin so leaves your skin feeling so nice and fresh.


T-Zone Antibacterial Cleanser 
 This cleanser helps reduce shine and tighten pores whilst taking away dirt and leaving your skin nice and fresh and again helps the prevention of spots. This does what it says its meant to, it removes all the dirt from your skin making it nice and fresh. I feel like it has made me have less breakouts but that is only when I use the product everyday so if this is something your looking to do make sure you add it into your nightly skincare routine. Although it does contain tea tree and does have a strong smell of this so if this is not something you like id give this a miss.


Overall I'm really impressed by the products, there so affordable and genuinely have some amazing results, I cant wait to try out more of their products.

Have you ever tried them?



Emma Hardie- Bright Time Essentials

28 January 2017

So I managed to grab myself a bargain with this set at christmas I got the set on sale from £50 to £29 which is a bargain as I had wanted to try these out for some time I had to get my hands on them. This set comes with four products and the cloth to go with it aswell as the bag which is always handy.


Moisture Boost Vit+ C Cream


"A vitamin enriched day cream that helps to uncover your skins natural radiance. A pure blend of Vitamin B3 and time-released Vitamin C reduces the appearance of dark spots and promotes healthy collagen production, leaving the skin looking brighter, clearer and more even as well as helping to reduce the visible signs of ageing. "


The first thing I loved about this product is the fact that it has vitamin c in it. This cream is quite a rich, thick cream which personally I like because I have eczema so its perfect to moisturise my skin. Again with this product it leave my skin feeling nice and soft, refreshed and overall looking so much brighter quite instantly really!


Moringa Cleansing Balm & Cloth
"Award winning Moringa Cleansing Balm is a balanced daily cleanser that thoroughly cleanse deep in the pores, moisturises and calms all skin types"


This balm is my favourite of all the products, I have very dry skin and this honestly leave my skin feeling so soft and revitalised. The scent of this product is gorgeous and the texture is amazing it feels so soft even when you first put it on your skin. The oils help to make your skin feel relaxed and I have noticed I have less pores after using this for three weeks. The only thing I wish about this product is that I got a bigger size in the set as I'm deffintley going to want to re purchase this once I've finished this tub. 


Vitamin C Intense Daily Serum
"A super charged Vit C Serum, that helps brighten the skin and helps reduce dark spots and pigmentation. The time released Vit C, helps promote collagen synthesis, leaving the skin looking brighter and clearer."

This serum is lovely, it feels runny but its not a bad thing because a little does such a long way with this product. This is applied under you're moisturiser and it seems to even out my skin a lot and make it much brighter in general. I would definitely recommend this product and I think it works well with the moisturiser. 



Brilliance Oil

"Brilliance Facial Oil is a light-weight, multi-active everyday facial oil complex, containing 9 essential oils of Palma Rose, Orange, Mint, Vanilla, Geranium, Camomile, Lemon, Rose and Lavender that help to condition, hydrate and smooth the skin's texture."

This is the thing I have used least in this set mainly because I actually struggle to get it out the bottle for some reason I don't know if anyone else has this problem or if it is just me. But from what I have used of this product i do really like it, although I've seen people say this is great for eczema so I want to give this a good try and see what I think of it!
