AF33 ANEW CLINICAL EYE AND FACE CREAM REVIEW

AF33 ANEW CLINICAL EYE AND FACE CREAM REVIEW

This can be purchased via Avon website the price fluctuates up and down depending on the offers on.
You can also purchase via eBay or Amazon normally at a cheaper price.
I bought the set from eBay and paid about £21 so not to bad for eye and face products.
Face cream is 30ml and the eyecream is 15ml

I got so sick of the hype that I bought this talk about peer pressure lol!!

The cream from the eye cream is nice its light and white and rubs in really nicely.  I didnt have any bad reactions to it.
The face cream is also white, light and is slightly greasier but thats understandable its got a lot more to cover.
The tubes are a nice attractive silver and being the magpie that I am I was immediately drawn to them which is wrong but never mind girls like shiny pretty things.

I used these two in unison for 2 months solid as I managed to purchase the same duo from a friend that didnt like the products as they made her eyes sore so something to think about if you have sensitive skin.

Sorry to disappoint but here's another set of creams that do not do as they promise, when I first read about this they were bragging that they basically had 100% positive feedback from users im wondering who these testers were maybe 20 year olds that had perfect skin to start with who knows but I know one thing like the review I did for Estee Lauder CP+R these products just dont work.

My wrinkles are the same as ever and skin round my eyes no better and no worse I would say an average moisturiser and no more I would probably give it 5/10 for the moisture value only.

This is what Avon have to say if your still interested.

Estee Lauder perfectionist CP+R firming serum hype or tripe!

Estee Lauder perfectionist CP+R firming serum

I have saw this serum for sale from  £50 to £60+ at most large chemists its a 50ml bottle.
Of course I didnt pay that especially when you dont know if its going to be any good.
I bought 10 sachets from Ebay for £15 and they did last about a month they do say less is more and in the cases of serums this is usually true.
To me Estee Lauder product is more of a thick cream and not a serum I hated the texture of it straight away and when I put it on my face it felt like I was putting a dry type of cream on no sooner had I applied it then it seemed to dry, felt like talc.

when I first used this I thought ok its not the best cream it did rub in ok for a powdery like cream but when I went to check my reflection before I left for work I was horrified it looked like I had a kind of film over my face, not to be defeated I thought ok I will use it at night then where no one will see me lol!

I used this for a month sometimes twice a day at weekends but to be honest I have no idea what the hype is all about to me its rubbish and thats being kind Im 41 so a good age for something like this to really get to work im not some young 21 year old who thinks they have wrinkles when they dont, I have wrinkles and the lines up the side of my mouth are a lot more prominent now than 10 years ago. so in a nutshell please please dont waste your money on this it really does not work at all.

Garnier new simply essentials cleansing wipes 25

Garnier simply essentials cleansing wipes 25

These wipes are available from most chemists and beauty stores prices vary I got these for £1.45 but they are more than likely over priced like most of this type of product and will usually be from £2.45+ (rip off theres nothing to them but a bit of cloth!)

I have to say I found these one of the better ones especially as I like my waterproof mascara and eyeliner so I need something heavy duty to get the eye make up off.

They are the usual white cloth like material but I did find these ones a bit extra moist which is a better help as some of them you buy you have to add a bit water to dampen them and I think that kind of defeats the object to buying them

It states 2 doses in one wipe being cleansing milk and they contain vitamin C I'm not bothered about that type of hype as long as they do the job to which they certainly do.  Well done garnier something handy to take on holidays and to just have handy.

A trio of fragrances from Fergie. Contains Outspoken by Fergie, Viva by Fergie and Outspoken Intense by Fergie Eau de Parfum Purse Sprays, 15ml each. Card gift box.

I had no idea how they smelt as I had never tried any of her perfumes before am so glad I did, all of them are lovely and lasted most of the day.  They are sweet so if your not into that type of scent then this wont be for you.

Recommended as Christmas is coming and this would make a great present even at £15 I wouldn't have complained.

Perfect finish: Even Better Makeup SPF 15

I have checked on the internet for the long term benefits its claims to do but to be honest I cant find any or what beneficial ingredients it contains, so if anyone knows can you add to this blog please.

I bought this with no great high expectations Ive learnt not to get too excited about a new product, so being cautious that I am I only got samples I managed to get 10 for £5 form a reputable seller on ebay and one sample lasted me a week as its not the type of cream you pile on.

The cream is more like a paste its an orangey tan colour didnt seem to thick or thin. I used a thin brush to dab it around my eye area then I gently rubbed it patted it around by dark circles.

I have to say they did look a little better but not enough to say wow I look like ive had a good 8 hours sleep (I wish I usually only get 6 if im lucky im a bad sleeper.) The real test after a week was to use this after a heavy night out I only got 4 hours and hungover one sunday morning so knew it had its work cut out for it, and again it helped a little but I still put my concealer over the top to mask my eyes more and to save the disaproving looks my mother would give me for still partying in my 40's oh dear!!!

I have been using this nearly two weeks now twice a day as instructed but it hasnt impressed me enough to buy it again, maybe I need to try it a few more weeks and come back to this blog again, it doesnt seem to give enough coverage for my liking maybe Im passed help where my dark circles are concerned  who knows but for the price alone I wouldnt repurchase to be honest.

If anything changes I will up date you.

Colladeen visage review magic pill or over kill

Colladeen Visage

Heres the science

Anthocyanidin / Pro anthocyanidins:	320mg	Green Tea Leaf:	275mg (provided by 50mg of a 5.5:1 extract)
Lutein:	6mg	Zeaxanthin :	240µg

60 tablets about £18.95

Heres the Info that is supplied for this product.


Colladeen® Visage contains high strength anthocyanidins as found in Colladeen® Original as well as two further ‘skin loving’ nutrients, lutein and green tea extracts. Previous studies have indicated that anthocyanidins, the blue and red plant pigments found in dark skinned fruits, may help to keep collagen healthy by literally blocking the action of free radicals and destructive enzymes known to progressively weaken collagen as we age. Research also indicates that lutein, a well known carotenoid, may play a protective role against the damaging effects of sunlight.

Now, a new placebo controlled 12 week clinical study has shown that Colladeen® Visage can offer statistically significant skin benefits that include

• Improved skin elasticity and firmness
• Reduction of wrinkle depth and appearance
• A natural protection from sun damage

Colladeen Visage provides an impressive dose of pure anthocyanidins from extracts that concentrate these active compounds by up to 500 times their level in the original plant material, making this one of the richest sources of anthocyanidins you can buy.

Ok so I am 40 so realistically this product should be good for me as I have all the signs of aging, small thread veins, wrinkles, saggy jowls, purple tired eyes, ok so its just starting to happen but this surely should improve and help in these problems well read on with the diary I kept.

I bought these on the Internet via a good website that I knew was reputable for vitamins etc.  They took over a week to come not impressive really I expected them in a few days as I received an email saying dispatched then the tablets arrived 5 days after that.

Week one

The tablets are a salmon pink colour slightly coated and dont taste of anything really, you take 2 a day (why cant they just put all the ingredients in one tablet surely it cant be that hard!)

Week Two

Taking two a day as instructed but finding that later that day have a vile after taste all day in my mouth and an all most indigestion feeling ( I never get indigestion!) drinking lots of water which will probably alone make my skin clearer.

Week Three

Still that awful taste, so I decided taking it at night, but woke up with a nasty dry mouth but was better than the week before as no indigestion.  No change in face in anyway shape or form.

Week Four

Getting bored with this now as still got a dry mouth ( I haven't changed or added anything at all to my diet so I can safely blame these tablets.)
No change to face the same reflexion stares back every day sigh........

Week Five

I have another packet , no change to face or skin I went out in a poor sun today and still caught a slight bit of sun and it wasn't even that strong mmm factor 10 I have my doubts.

Week Six

No change no comment still bored.

Week seven

I asked some of my friends today and my husband if there was any change to my skin at all bearing in mind up till now I hadn't told anyone I was taking them, all comments were no change.  Still dry mouth.

Week Eight

Still fishing for compliments but no luck that could be because theres no change just a dry mouth.

Week Nine

Nope nothing to report oh maybe a dry mouth and indigestion again!

Week Ten

Really studied myself to day and noticed a small spider vein starting to appear under my eye isn't that what this product is supposed to help prevent.  Dry mouth as usual is this beauty lark really worth it!!!

Week Eleven

One week to go yeyyyyy before I can say I gave it a go and stuck it out for the 12 wks that was recommended, No change no compliments, dry mouth and on off Indigestion.

Week Twelve

Last two tablets that im ever taking and thank god, that's me done no more!
conclusion for me anyway
Taken through the day bad taste in mouth nearly all afternoon
taken at night in the morning chronic dry mouth
Indigestion
and the most important thing of all still got my wrinkles, dark circles and a new spider vein.
My advice take the £18.95 and go get yourself a new dark circle cream or foundation.

Week 13

No indigestion yeyyyy
No dry mouth woop woop
And my skin actually looks more hydrated (strange!)
 

Calypso once sun cream SPF 40

Calypso once sun cream SPF 40

This is a hidden gem of a sun cream really cheap and it works
I went on holiday recently and took many lotions and potions
Ultra Sun 30 and 50 SPF
Elizabeth Arden 8 hour sun cream SPF 50
P20
See my other blogs for reviews.

Ok back to calypso you get a whopping 150mls from anything like £7 to £9 depending on where you buy from. Home bargains is the cheapest and Amazon sell it if theres not one in your area.

I bought this as an after thought as I was using ultra sun/Elizabeth Arden on my face and P20 on my legs (for some reason my legs just dont tan very well.) the rest of me arms and torso I usually take a banana boat type lotion but I get so fed up of reaplying that I just wanted to put it on once and just get on with  my day so I purchased this.  Now some reviews were good some bad so it obviously depends on your skin maybe if you are really really fair it may not be strong enough but for the price its worth shoving in your case to try, just make sure you apply generously.

Its a large tube and theres enough to last probably a few weeks, the cream is like a light beige colour it has a slight smell but its quite pleasant, its quite thick and takes a bit of rubbing in but if its once a day then I dont mind.  It felt a bit greasy and sticky but as the time passes it sinks in and you dont really think its any worse than others I have used and pay a fortune for, but I did rub a bit off and felt I needed to patch myself up but I was carrying quite a big bag so it was hanging from my arm.

I had this on all day and apart from the bag incident not once did I burn on my arms or torso or had to reaply.  I was impressed I did think as it was cheap it would cause me to break out in spots but it didnt.

I think this is a must have I am quite fair and this was SPF 40 so for the first 4 days I used this religiously then I went down to ultrasun 30.

Heres what the internet says.
