Rose review: REN hydra-calm global protection day cream

Hi everyone!
When I got a sample of this moisturiser a while back, I wasn't too excited. I'm not sure why, it may have been because I knew I would never repurchase it due to REN being such a high-end brand and was afraid of falling in love; it may have been because I thought I would only get a few uses out of it due to it being such a small sample.

But oh my god I love this so much.
So much.
Soo, so much.
SO MUCH.

Yep, really that much, haha :)

Ok, so raving aside I'll get on with the review...
In terms of the brand and packaging it's a thumbs up from me. I love REN for its ethos, and find the packaging so lovely. I just wish it was a tiny but cheaper to be honest! Because as much as I rave about this product, it's like £30 for the full size, which I would just never spend on a moisturiser.
However, in terms of its moisturising capabilities it is AB.SO.LUTE.LY. AMAZING.
And trust me, I'm not exaggerating. As I'm using it very sparingly I've been using it as a kind of treatment cream. And I joke not, I put this on a dry patch on my forehead a couple of nights ago, and when I woke up it was completely back to normal and as moisturised as...... Something very moisturised! Oh and also, for a patch around 2-3 square inches big I used an amount literally equal to an ant. Smaller than a pea. Waay smaller.
I also used this on my holiday when my skin was soo dry, clogged up with suncream and just awful from jumping in and out of the pool multiple times a day. And a pea sized amount all over my face saved.my.skin.

So that's my review finished, I know I got a bit excited but I hope you enjoyed and found it useful! If you have any questions feel free to contact me (email at top of page in contact me).
Bye!xx

Models own wonderland collection!!

Hi everyone!
I don't usually do this type of post as I think they're better when their PR have contacted you, but I just had to share this new models own collection with you.

According to their Facebook page, it's available in their bottle shop in Westfield now and in boots stores. As far as I can see, it's not on the boots website just yet buy is coming on the models own website next Friday, the 12th of October.

They say...

"Five magical polishes ranging in gradients of subtle to dense glitter for a sophisticated grown up glimmer. For a manicured finish use the iridescent shades to give an accent of glitter, or be brave and layer up the polish until it's opaque! Each polish gives a different nail finish from frosty to full on snowstorm."

The colours are Jack frost, a wash of iridescent soft sparkle in a translucent cloudy base; Snowflake, a mesmerising transparent mix of white gold flakes; Southern lights, an opaque holographic multi-tonal glitter in a lilac finish; Northern lights, a fine holographic multi-tonal glitter in a pink finish; and Blizzard, a dense mix of hand cut glitters to give a silver day-night sparkle!

I personally love it, and think it's the first collection I've ever loved every single polish of, and really want to buy it now. I love that there are transparent AND opaque glitters and think it's a properly festive collection. Buutttt, it could also be worn in other seasons!! These sets usually retail for £30 but I'll update you when I know.

What do you think of this new collection?! Have your bought it yet?
Bye!!xxx
