Jergens Natural Daily Moisturising : Body moisturiser with Acai Berry Review


I really needed a moisturiser. 
There were lots to choose from at good prices and many with nicer packaging but I went with Jergens.

Why?

I took time to read the information on the bottle and thought I'd give it a go.

It says that:

''Jergens uses 97% natural ingredients, the other 3% is to keep the formula together. It replenishes nutrients and visibly moisturises the sin. It is formulated with natures superfoods; Acai Berries, Cranberries and Mangosteen extracts to feed and nourish the skin. It is meant to apply smoothly and last all day.''

It also says that is is animal cruelty free, which whilst i'm not a huge ''SAVE THE ANIMALS'' I do think animal testing is highly wrong so it's good to see the hearts behind the product.

You get a fair amount at 200ml, you don't need much at a time so I can see this lasting awhile, it comes out quiet thick and a little bit off-white:

I just expected it 'to do the job' but seriously, after using it I am very eager to get all of the kinds by this brand available!

It does absorb very quickly, and leaves no stickiness. I find sometimes a sticky feeling is left behind with this kind of cream which is never nice especially when you are hot! It leaves my skin super-super soft and causes no irritation. My skin is quiet sensitive to soaps and moisturisers to find one that doesn't irritate me is fantastic!

My Mum says is has a really nice slight fragrance that will please sensitive noses and noses that like a scent a like. I personally can hardly smell a thing due to sinus problems but my mum has a very-very sensitive nose and she says it is a slight and pleasant fruity fragrance.

Overall I would definitely buy this product again, I'm rushing out to get all the other types this brand does. This is just a general one but a lot cover specific  problems which will be useful to try.

I'd especially buy something now, Boots and Sainsbury's are both doing half price on these products, bargain!!

Thank you for reading xx

Watsons Blotting Sheets Review



What the product claims:

''Facial Absorbent Paper, double efficiency
  • Can remove unwanted oil, preserve skin moisture, avoid acne and skin irritation
  • Glossy on both sides
  • Pat and press on T-zone  
  • Use during the day, before and after makeup. Feel refreshed at any time.''

 When I first used a blotting sheet I found randomly in my room I gave it a try and was instantly amazed, I just knew I had to get some.

  After searching around I decided Watsons would be the best choice for me, cute packaging, bright colours and the listing I bought it from offered 3 packs which meant I would get 300 which is a great amount and ensures you won;t run out too quickly.

There are 5 colours available that I got sent at random but elsewhere you might be able to pick, the colours available are: Purple, Pink, Green, Yellow and Blue.

I got sent Blue, Green and Yellow.

The blotting sheets are very silky and not scratchy and very easy to use on your face, I found that patting doesn't always work the best and sometimes I have to do a little rub.

The packet says to use both sides, but personally I don't like doing this. It means you have to hold the side with grease and oil on - not nice.

You can defiantly tell they work though, after using them you can see the oil and grease on the sheet and after using a few it leaves my face feeling cleaner.

The box has a little white tab you peel off which has a stick which is meant to pull one up each time you use it which is helpful but sometimes I'm worried it might rip the sheet but at least they made it an optional use.

Another helpful thing is the boxes aren't massive and are super easy to slip easily into a bag or even a bigger purse! So if you ever worry that your face has become oily whilst you're out you no longer need to worry! I'm quiet sure you'd be able to discreetly use one in public, it's just like using a tissue but for your face, no?


Overall verdict: I would defiantly buy these blotting sheets again, they are cheap and easy to use and I can see them lasting a long time.

I bought this product over at Evilbay, Ebay.
