Skindinavia - The Original Make-Up Saver


Over the last week I have discovered a fantastic product that answers every woman's problem of trying to keep our make-up lasting for longer - Skindinvia, "The Original Makeup Saver". The formula is a lightweight, breathable mist with a proprietary time-released cooling (cryogenic) technology that chills the makeup surface to resist melting, creasing, and colour loss. A second pigment wetting technology blends makeup for maximum coverage. The result is makeup that looks as fresh as when it was applied, even 16 hours later. No more clumping, caking, creasing, sliding, or fading!!!
The mist is easily applied once your make-up is finished simply hold about 8 inches away from the face and spray 2-4 times over your make-up, it instantly feels fresh & leaves your make-up feeling weightless! I have found that my make-up has really gone the distance each time it has been used, with less excess oil build ups on the foundation surface meaning less touch ups are required throughout the day.

They have also just expanded the product line with seven new makeup-finishing mists to address a variety of makeup problems women experience. The new products include -

1 - Jet Set Makeup Finish: Reinvigorates makeup color during travel or active use.

2 - Mineral Makeup Finish: Controls drying, settling, and shine on mineral foundation.

3 - 10 Years Younger Makeup Finish: Keeps makeup hydrated and out of wrinkles.

4 - No More Shine Makeup Finish: Absorbs oil and controls excess shine.

5 - Cool Flash Makeup Finish: Chills makeup in warm temperatures (and during hot flashes), avoiding meltdown.

6 - Bridal Makeup Finish: Holds makeup texture for photography and high stress conditions.

7 - Dance! Makeup Finish: Holds makeup while dancing, clubbing, or performing

The products are also formulated for sensitive skins, dermatologist & allergy tested as well as cruelty free - not tested on animals. Available from www.skindinavia.com

Summer Essential - New Piz Buin Active Sun Care!


Well there may have been a fair share of rain about over the last few days but the sun has been pretty hot so far this summer, so I've been trying out the new PIZ BUIN® Active sunscreen, it claims to - keep on working so you can keep on enjoying your time in the sun!
PIZ BUIN® Active is a long lasting sunscreen, with cutting-edge technology, the Active Spray with stands up to 80 minutes of sweat and water contact, so you can have as much fun in the sun as you like! It has a light & non-greasy formula which absorbs into the skin in seconds, which allows you to receive full protection quickly & easily plus the spray is excellent for getting to those hard to reach places!
I used the spray myself the other day & found it was not only easy to apply & very absorbent, it also carried less scent than many other sun protection products, which is certainly good for your perfume choice! Also there is nothing worse than have to smear cream all over & wait for it to dry before you get on with your day in the sun & who wants white lotion smears all over them?! With the spray it's just quick light mist sprayed over any exposed areas on the skin & you're ready to go, definitely the way forward in sun care! Most importantly is really does give excellent protection in the sun, having fair skin myself I'm pretty susceptible to going very pink in the sun but there was no pink-patches in sight! It will definitely packed in my holiday toiletries bag this year on my way to Barcelona!
aPIZ BUIN® Active is available in two products – Active Spray and Active Lotion – both of which feature PIZ BUIN’s Helioplex™ sun filter technology with resilient, photostable UVA and UVB protection against both burning and the ageing effects of the sun. £14.67 - Boots Currently have it on offer Buy 1 get 1 Free
