Hi Everyone

As you know I love great offers so when I seen the reductions / free gift offer (below) currently available at Rodial online I had to do a quick post to let you know about them.

Currently Rodial are giving a complimentary / free suede lips in ‘Rodeo Drive’ (worth £22) when you purchase any 3 sale items (no offer code required, automatically added when you add 3 sale items to your basket).   I have tried a number of skin care items / makeup items from Rodial in the past, although mostly have been offers, free gifts (recently got lip / eye duo worth £36 free with July edition of Red Magazine – please see my magazine freebie post here for details).   I have enjoyed using / found all the Rodial products I have tried to date good, although yet to  find that ‘hero’ product from their range but still plenty more products to try.

I could not resist this offer myself especially when I seen the foundation and highlight brushes were both reduced to £5 each (photos below – never tried any of their brushes before and states worth £40 each!  I have checked quickly online and found the foundation brush is currently priced at £26.78 on one site).  I also love the Glamstick 5 piece lip set,  (worth £110, now reduced to £40 – photo below), perfect for separating as gifts as well.  However these are only a few of the products reduced and the rest of the sale items are also worth checking out.  You should also get two free sample sachets as well at checkout.

As always I also checked if cashback available at Topcashback.co.uk and found currently they are offering up to 15% cashback on purchase(s) which is fantastic – please see my link here for  more detail  and if you have not signed up for cashback yet would really appreciate if you used my link to sign up and you will also get a free £5 Debenhams e-gift card this way as well (when you reach a minimum cashback threshold of £10 cashback).

I hope you found this useful.    Would love to know if you are already a Rodial fan or if you have bought or decided to purchase anything from the sale.

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

Best Wishes Liz x

Hello Everyone

I received my  Feelunique’s Pick ‘N’ Mix  selection below during the week.   As advised before you can pick five ‘free’ samples from a selection of samples  available while stocks last (one selection of samples per month) – 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.

It was approximately 6 weeks from my last selection as did not get finalising my choice quickly enough so had missed out on a number of samples I had wanted to try but still happy with the samples I got below (but as always would love more makeup samples to choose from) :

• Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm (5g jar) – I have used this product before and think it is quite good, enjoy using it but just not my favourite cleansing balm-  However love it is a jar sample so  perfect to take with you if going away for a night or two;
• Omorovicza Rejuvenating Night Cream (5ml jar) – really looking forward to trying this cream, lovely creamy texture with a light fragrance, a good size sample and in a jar as well;
• Kiehl’s Rosa Arctica Youth Regenerating Cream (3g sachet) – the only sachet sample I selected this month – love trying all Kiehl’s products and as this is one I have never tried yet, decided to get it;
• Isadora Multi Vitamin Gloss in 37 ‘Fruit Cocktail’ (2ml) – multi vitamin antioxidant lip gloss – feels comfortable on the lips and perfect size for the handbag – (other choices still available at the moment);
• Bioderma Creme Reparatrice Apaisante (5ml tube) – never tried this before either but as it states it is a soothing repairing cream, thought it was a perfect product to try as also states, restores relieves and purifies.

Happy with my selection this month, maybe not my favourite to date but will definitely continue to use the Pick ‘N’ Mix as and when I see samples I want to try or already love. Remember the more generous sample sizes / make up samples  go quickly but as long as you regularly look through the sample choice you should always see something you want to try.   I also love that the service is not tied to a subscription. 

I 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 £10 off your first order with a £30 minimum spend). 

Look forward to any comments you may have – would love to hear if you have used the Pick ‘N’ Mix service already, 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.

Hi Everyone

Hope you all had a good weekend, doesn’t it just fly past, though not long now to the Easter break.

I was one of the lucky people earlier in the year to receive a FREE deluxe size sample (53g) of the Living Proof Full Thickening Mousse from SpaceNK (UK) – full size 142G RRP £23.    I was delighted to receive this as I had tried a number of Living Proof products before and enjoyed using them, not only for the results but also because I love their fragrance.

Living Proof Full Thickening Mousse is described as body boosting, naturally moving and long-lasting.

You are advised to:  to dispense an egg-sized amount to damp hair from roots to ends, comb through and heat style.

As I was a bit apprehensive the first time I used it, I only applied half the recommended amount, but every time since then I have used the recommended amount, with better results.  You need to make sure you shake the can really well before dispensing to ensure a good ‘mousse’ consistency and then apply evenly from roots to ends before combing / brushing through and heat styling.  I was v pleasantly surprised when I  dried my hair as my hair still felt soft, looked natural and had a lot more bounce / volume, also loved it has the same long-lasting fragrance as all the Living Proof products I have tried to date.

Definitely the best hair mousse product I have used to date as majority I had used prior to this one left my hair feeling hard / crispy and very ‘set’ looking.  The only slight negatives I found is that it took slightly longer to dry my hair  and when I brushed my hair after blow drying it, areas of my hair were a left a bit more tangled.  However once I finished styling I found no problem with brushing my hair afterwards and hair style does definitely seem to ‘hold’ / last longer .

I enjoyed using this product and would consider purchasing in the future, however not at the minute as I have a number of hair products to use up.   However  I would still recommend checking out this and other products from the Living Proof ‘full’ range especially if you have v fine hair and would like more body / volume on a daily basis but still want that natural look.

If you are thinking about purchasing  this or anything from the Living Proof range remember to always check around first to get the best value.  You can purchase from a number of stores and I have included two below for information but unable to find any with a free gift with purchase at the moment (have managed to get a free gift with purchase at Marks and Spencer in the past):

SpaceNK:  £23 – no specific offers but a choice of 3 samples at checkout (when stock available) and % cashback if you go through cashback first; and

Marks and Spencers:  £23 – % cashback if you go through cashback first – there also is a travel set for £29 which contains travel sizes of the mousse, full shampoo, conditioner and root lifting spray – great way to try all this range.

Love to know if you have tried this or any of the Living Proof products before.  If you are not already a follower would love you to follow my blog too – would mean a lot.

Hope you all have a good week.

Thank you – take care.
