I love the Bloom Boost Lip Balm Trio!

Read about a holiday treat; Bloom's Boost Lip Balm Trio!

Hi beauties,
I was so excited to receive this product and review for the readers here on Beauty Fix. I am sure some of you readers may have heard about the Lip Balms by Bloom that are inspired by Boost Juice flavours. This trio contains three of these lip balms; Strawberry Splash, Berry Bang and Banana Buzz. Bloom have collaborated with Boost to combine their smoothie flavours with Beeswax, Jojoba Seed Oil and Vitamin E. These ingredients really moisturise and hydrate the lips. The packaging of the gift set is really pretty. There is a cute tag around the product that says 'Share the Love'. The box is also beautiful with bright drawings on it. Lip Balm Trio's lip balms are a great size and are perfect to carry in your pocket. The packaging of the lip balms are cool and bright. The thing where you twist it from, is so unique and is quite stable (I hate when other lip balms break and you can't twist them up anymore). Banana Buzz has a great banana scent. It smells like the banana lollies. Berry Bang has a really good scent. I think it smells like a twist between grape and raspberry. I love Strawberry Splash and smells exactly like a strawberry Zappo! The product are super moisturising and leave my lips so smooth and soft, not to mention great smelling! This makes a great Christmas present or stocking stuffer as they are more than suitable for Summer and so affordable. They would come into use for every girl! I really love this lip balm trio.

Pantene Review: Give your hair a healthy shine!

Read about one of the new collections from Pantene Pro-V; Nature Fusion!

Hi everyone,
Before I start, I want to notify you that there is going to be many new and exciting reviews coming up and perhaps a great haul. Anyway, Pantene provides premium haircare products at an affordable price. The products I am going to review today are the Pantene Pro-V Nature Fusion Shampoo and the Pantene Pro-V Nature Fusion Conditioner.

Pro-V Nature Fusion Shampoo
I think this shampoo is superb as it really cleans my hair. My hair benefits from the product because the shampoo gives it a healthy fullness and shine and the feeling of refreshment. The product has a great consistency and a nice scent. The formula includes a blend of naturally derived ingredients such as Cassia flower derived essence, avocado and grape seed oil. Nature Fusion Shampoo also contains ProV-B5 to weaken the hair within. I really like this product as it is great for everyday use.

Pro-V Nature Fusion Conditioner
This conditioner is not any worse because it is also fantastic. Together with the shampoo, the product achieves to give a shine and volume to my hair and makes my hair more easy to work with and style. The conditioner also had a nice consistency but no real scent. I found that Nature Fusion Conditioner hydrated and moisturised my hair. I use these two every time I have a shower.

Cetaphil Review: Keeping clean and hydrated!

Here is the review of a couple of Cetaphil products which are really great!

Hi again,
This post, as it suggests in the title, is a review on several Cetaphil products. The three products are Gentle Skin Cleanser, DailyAdvance Ultra Hydrating Lotion and Moisturising Cream. And sorry in advance for the photos in this review. I only have the samples of these products and I thought you would prefer to see the full size product.

Gentle Skin Cleanser
This cleanser has so many good things about it. The product is fragrance, soap and lanolin free, gentle on baby's skin, removes light make-up, won't block pores, helps skin maintain moisture, pH balanced, won't sting eyes and for face and body. Wow, how great is it. It is a great 'Mummy and Me' product meaning a mum and child could use it. The product is such good value and doubles up for the face and body. Gentle Skin Cleanser cleans the face nicely, leaving the skin smooth and soft. The product is fragrance free and dermatologist tested. It suits all skin types and perfect for sensitive skin. The packaging is very convenient with a pump to dispense product. At the moment, I am on crutches and this product is great for me because you can use it with or without water.

DailyAdvance Ultra Hydrating Lotion
The packaging of this body lotion is quite functional and effective. It is suitable for sensitive skin and babies, wont block pores, is non-greasy, fragrance free and dermatologist recommended. The product is also for dry to very dry skin and is clinically proven to hydrate and protect dry skin for twenty-four hours. The lotion contains Epidermal Replenishing Complex5 which is a unique combination of five key ingredients that hydrate and protect dry skin. It dries fast and really moisturises my skin. I think it leaves my skin so nice and smooth. This product is very convenient and useful.

Moisturising Cream
This moisturiser for the body and face has great features to it. The product is lanolin, paraben and fragrance free, it wont clog pores and it helps to relieve baby's dry skin. The cream is dermatologist recommended for dry, sensitive skin. It has a nice consistency and the packaging is great too as it is in a tub. I find that the product was really moisturising and hydrating. Once again, it left my skin feeling so soft. The cream doubles up for the face and body and is such good value. I really like it.

Innoxa Review: Part 2 (Body)

Read about a selection of Innoxa products before you want to buy them.

Hi,
This is the last part to the Innoxa review (sadly). I think Innoxa is such a great brand along with its sister brands (Australis and Le Tan etc.). Today I am reviewing three products; SOS Skin Tissue, Restore Ultra-Lift Moisture Lotion and Restore Body Souffle.

SOS Skin Tissue Oil
This product is a body oil used for the face and body. It is quick absorbing and helps reduce the appearance of scars, stretch marks, dehydrated skin, ageing skin and uneven skin tone. SOS stands for Save Our Skin. The packaging is nice and convenient. To apply, you just spray the product 10-15cm away from the skin and massage the oil in. It is just that simple. If you want to use SOS Skin Tissue Oil on your face, spray it on your hands first before applying it to your face. Test it on the inside of your arm for sensitivity. The skin tissue oil smells really good. It has a lavender and organic scent. The formula contains Tocomin and PCL Liquid and is dermatologically tested on sensitive skin and is paraben free. I love the product because it really works and left my skin smooth and soft.

Restore Ultra-Lift Moisture Lotion
This product is a moisturising lotion with has SPF 15 and is formulated to restore and lift for younger and firmer skin. The product contains Pepha-Tight Marine Extracts which tightens and smoothes the appearance of fine wrinkles and Matrixyl 3000 which promotes firmer and smoother skin. The packaging is sleek and functional. Ultra-Lift Moisture Lotion doesn't smell bad at all. The product is for mature skin and really serves its purpose. I think I might give this to my mum because it is so great.

Restore Body Souffle
This is a body lotion which helps to restore the youthful condition of your skin. The packaging is attractive, cute and bright. It really makes me want to use all the time. The body souffle has a great consistency and smells so so so so good. It really hydrates and moisturises my skin, leaving it so smooth yet soft. I think it is a perfect morning lotion as it is a great rise and shine scent. I really love this product.

I Hate Mondays! How to Survive Mondays

Read about tips and tricks to not lose your cool on Mondays!

I'm pretty sure everyone hates Mondays! I do. But don't let that bring you down because I have ways to make Monday great!

Enjoy a nice, relaxing bath
I know hopping into a warm bath on a stressful day is sensational. I like to make my baths extra special by using a Lush bath ballistic or bubble bar. I think the perfect product to use on Mondays is The Comforter because the bubble bar is so relaxing!

Try a new product
I love buying a new product on Sunday and using it for the first time on Monday. I think it makes my day more exciting and the product also gives me chance to review and also see if I like it.

Makeover your look
Trying a new makeup look will change up your Mondays. I know it makes me feel more happy and you don't know how many compliments you will get. The answer is a lot. Also, you can see what looks do and do not work for you.

Splurge on yourself
Why not drop by the shops on you way back from work? It gives you something to look forward to and try out. It does not cost much to buy even a little something every week.

So those are my tips and tricks to surviving Monday! Did they work for you? Comment below!
