Advantages: Lovely Tiare smell
Disadvantages: Not for fine hair

...must be one of finding Hei Poa Monoi oil in the first place- as far as I can see it isn't too widely available, but it is definitely worth the effort to find. I stumbled upon hei poa while on holiday in Paris last year, and bought it purely because I was intrigued- definitely a testament to the gorgeous packaging! There were other Hei Poa products available, but this seemed to me as the original product, and definitely the one to begin with in the ...
...story behind a product, and Hei Poa's description of Monoi oil as a traditional Tahitian beauty aid is appealing, adding a touch of the exotic. This definitely, however, does not to detract from the usefulness of the product itself. The bottle describes Monoi as a 'Tahitian beauty oil with macerated Tiare flowers, multi-use product, restores and balances hair and skin moisture.' Monoi oil, I have since found out, is made by soaking Tiare flowers ... Read review

Advantages: Reduces shine
Disadvantages: A bit expensive for a student budget

...it and so far it's the best mattifying cream i have found for combination skin. It doesn't smell terribly of seaweed, just like a nice cream. You don't need to use too much in one go so it lasts a reasonably long time, plus it doesn't wear off after an hour of two- it has great lasting power. I wouldn't use it on top of make-up since its quite gloopy (but is absorbed really quickly), but once it's soaked in you don't actually need any powder to cover ... Read review

Advantages: look as though you've been in the sun
Disadvantages: none

I bought this product as I hate going on holiday and looking pasty white and I also don't like getting too much sun on my face - skin cancer and ageing wrinkles are not attractive and must be avoided at all costs. The nice thing about thiscream is that it not only gives a slight tanning effect but it also provides 15 factor sun protection which is not that high but better than nothing which is what usually gets put on our faces in UK I suspect. ...
...light and easily spreadable to get an even spread. It smells quite fresh and doesn't have that strong, strange smell that many self tanning products have. The effect of tanning is not immediate but after a few days it is quite noticeable. It is great because being gradual people notice you look healthy rather than notice you have a streaky uneven tan. I don't worry to much about total even ness of application , I do go down my neck and a bit round ... Read review

Advantages: Skin feels gorgeous
Disadvantages: Packaging a bit of a let down

Palmer's olive butter formula - a wonderfully moisturising body lotion. Made with organic olive oil this body lotion leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturised without leaving it at all sticky or greasy. The lotion is a nice consistency - not so thick that it's difficult to apply but not at all watery. The smell is pleasant but fairly subtle - it doesn't leave you smelling of olives and certainly isn't overpowering. The packaging is a little ...
...lotion out when it is coming to the end but the body lotion itself more than makes up for this - and that's the important bit! It is good value for money - I bought this for just over £3 in Boots and it came with a small tube of their olive concentrated cream making it even more of a bargain. The concentrated cream is much thicker and perfect for skin that is really in need of some attention. My skin feels happy whenever I use this - soft and smooth ... Read review

Advantages: Skin feels softer and youthfulness of chest skin improves
Disadvantages: Unenvironmental packaging and not much visible improvement to neck

...drawn, so when I saw Dove pro-age neck and chest beauty serum being advertised on television, I was tempted to try it. I think I actually paid £7.99 for it, so I do think it is a bit expensive. The white cream has a light but pleasant fragrance and it is quickly and easily absorbed into the skin. There is instantly an improved feeling to the texture of the skin and I can confirm that my skin did physically feel better. Although I didn't notice much ... Read review
