Hi Everyone

As advised before a great way to obtain ‘free’ samples / try  products at the moment is through the Feelunique’s Pick ‘N’ Mix Service.

You can pick five ‘free’ samples from a selection of samples  available while stocks last – you are charged £3.95 for shipping and handling fees although you can redeem this against any future order  (excluding Pick ‘n’ Mix) via a £3.95 gift voucher you receive in your follow-up email.  Therefore although you initially have to pay for shipping & handling as this can be redeemed against future orders and as long as you do place a future order you really are getting your sample selection for ‘free’. 

However you can only access one Pick ‘N’ Mix selection per month and the £3.95 code you receive cannot be redeemed against the shipping and handling costs for future Pick ‘N’ Mix selection(s).

Received my latest selection ‘Pick ‘N’ Mix selection at the weekend, already love three of these products, so delighted they were included in the selection, as perfect size for travelling:

• Elizabeth Arden Superstart Skin Renewal Booster – 5ml – tried this product before – and enjoyed using it and it definitely give my skin a boost so happy to get another sample, 
• 2 x Benefit Goof Proof Brown Pencils in Nos 2 & 6 both 0.11g – love this product as well, the perfect brow pencil – surprised but delighted they were included in selection as deluxe size samples;
• Caudalie Hand and Nail Cream – 15ml – love a lot of Caudalie products so looking forward to trying their hand cream – this is a generous sample size as well; and lastly
• Leonor Greyl Gentle Volumizing Shampoo Sachet – 14 ml – never tried the shampoo in this range before but have used the conditioner and thought it was good so also looking  forward to trying – perfect size to take with you to the Gym.

I am delighted with my selection especially as all good size samples – perfect sizes for your makeup bag / handbag.

I will definitely keep using the Pick ‘N’ Mix service and highly recommend trying it for yourself as a great way to try products for ‘free’ prior to purchasing especially if you make a future purchase through Feelunique to enable you to redeem your £3.95 gift voucher(the charge for shipping & handling fees) (if new to Feelunique you can use my code here to get 15% off your first order).  Remember you can also check  size and type of samples before selecting i.e. if a sachet, tube or pot etc.

Look forward to any comments you may have – would love to hear if you have used the Pick ‘N’ Mix service already, and if so,  what you thought of it?

If not already a follower would love you to follow my blog too – would mean a lot.

Thank you – take care and hope you all have a good week.

Hi Everyone

I had to let you know about a product which I finally got round to trying  from the Sarah Chapman London Skinesis range – the award winning Skinesis Overnight Facial serum-oil.

In case you have not heard of Sarah Chapman or her products – please see link here for further details, range of products available.

The Sarah Chapman Skinesis Overnight Facial is described as a multi award-winning skin transforming, night-time elixir which recreates the lifting, firming, skin perfecting benefits of a Skinesis facial.  Awaken to plump, smooth, rejuvenated skin with a signature Skinesis glow.  Ideal for skins concerned with ageing, Overnight Facial also helps calm stressed skin and is deliciously naturally fragranced with a soothing pure essential oil blend of jasmine, frangipani, rose and tuberose.

Stated:  Suitable for all skin types and you are advised to smooth or massage all over face, neck and chest every evening / at night – This product is suitable to use every evening / night.

Results are described as:
Recreating the effects of a Skinesis facial, leaving skin plump, smooth and rejuvenated with the signature Skinesis glow. Lines and uneven textures are smoothed, skin is brighter, firmer and more radiant, giving instant results to flat, dull and unbalanced skin.

The product comes in  a beautiful  bronze hard plastic container with silvertone detail around it and white writing.  It has a pump applicator and push on cap and price ranges from £21 for 5ml – the package does look luxurious as well as being practical.

I had received the 5ml size (what I would call a deluxe sample size) in a free beauty goodie bag gift with purchase and just had never got round to trying, cannot believe I waited so long to try.

It has a non greasy light serum / oil type consistency and the first thing I noticed, loved was the aroma – it is hard to explain but to me it is has an uplifting, refreshing fragrance, not overpowering but when you apply it you feel you skin is being treated, pampered with a luxurious product.   I have tried a lot of skin care products over the last few years but this definitely has my favourite fragrance to date.  Now on to to the application and results, I used/use two pumps at night after cleansing  (sufficient for face neck and chest) and warm serum in my hands and then press, massage onto my face neck and chest.  It absorbs into the skin quickly, leaves your face hydrated but not greasy and in the morning when you wake up your skin does look rejuvenated even after little sleep, your skin looks energized, more radiant, skin feels soft, smooth to the touch and fine lines appear reduced.  I definitely noticed results after one application but with longer use the results seem even more enhanced.

There are a lot of products I enjoy using and have found good results with but I can definitely say this is the one product recently that has really surprised me with its impressive initial and ongoing results.

I definitely recommend trying this product not only for the results but also because it is so easy to fit into your normal routine.    However as always ask  for a sample to try first before purchasing if you have any stores near you who stock Sarah Chapman products, sometimes they may have samples or if not, if you have a small pot they will put some product in it for you from their tester, or they may have small pots they can use.  If you have time you could ask to try the product in store to see if you like the fragrance, how it feels on your skin.

You can purchase from a number of online stores which include, Sarah Chapman, SpaceNK UK, Feelunique.co.uk  however the best value at the minute is through QVC UK as for the month of March they have a Supersize Limited Edition 30 ml size available for £50 (15ml usually is £49) also available on two easy payments of £25, fantastic saving while stocks last.  I have already purchased the 30ml and now looking forward to it arriving and then going on to try further products from this range.  However as always if the Limited Edition size is not available check around to see where you can get the best offer i.e. discovery sets, discount off, free gifts with purchase, samples or hopefully if you are lucky maybe all of them.

Look forward to any comments you may have.   Love to hear if you have tried this product before and if so do you love it as much as me.  If you are not already a follower would love you to follow my blog too – would mean a lot.

Thank you – take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Best Wishes Liz x
