Magnitone Pulsar Facial & Body Brush Review- Day 2!

So today was my second day using the brush, and I have been using only at night so far, as I feel that's when you need a deeper cleanse. I don't know what it is about these types of brushes but I feel like they clean your face so much better than you ever could manually!

I have not noticed any huge changes since last night, but my skin did feel much smoother this morning and i'm still only able to use it on the sensitive setting as it's very strong, and does leave my skin a little red afterwords. It does leave your skin feeling a little tight but that may just be down to my skin type (combo). I know most people tend to worry a little over your skin having a "purging" period, where your skin get's bad before it gets better but I can honestly say it's not something I have ever really experienced. 

I am hoping for a noticeable chance in the clarity  & texture of my skin but for now, I will leave you with a list of where you can buy this, as it's so widely available for a product of it's kind.

Magnitone Pulsar Facial & Body Brush Review- Day 1!

Facial cleansing brushes have been huge for years now, claiming to change your skin and provide a deep cleanse that no wash cloth or hands ever could. So i'm sure you can appreciate my excitement when I was asked to give this brush a 7 day trail & review!



I will be giving daily updates on my blog and full, final review on my channel at the end of 7 days with all the detailed information, and what changes I have seen.

The Magnitone pulsar cleansing brush claims to change the appearance of your skin in just 7 days, and seen as how today is day 1, here are my initial thoughts, a first impressions if you will:    

* This brush has several settings (more on that later) I used it on the sensative setting but it was much harsher than i'm use too.
* It was a little messy, because the brush moves pretty fast, and I used a lightly foaming cleanser, it did get messy.
*I did miss not having time settings as it's hard to see how long you are using it for.
*My skin was left feeling AMAZINGLY soft!

So these are my first impressions, have you tried this before? if so, what did you think?

Please check back for day 2 tomorrow!

Food Dairy-2/10/2013

So I am going to start doing the odd "what I eat" type of posts every now and then, most down to requests and also to help me look at what i'm eating properly. I'm trying to count calories atm just to lose a tiny bit of weight, and i'm trying out just counting cals, and eating a little more "normal" my lunch for example, would ALWAYS be a wholegrain bagel, but as they are higher in calories I went for the WW just to see....it was ok, but not the best. (New york bagels are)







Breakfast- 2 weetbix with cinnamon, skimmed milk & strawberries. YUMMY!
Lunch-WW bagel with light mayo, cucumber, onion & loads of rocket. It's what I call my salad sandwich and it's lovely! and under 250 cals, give it a try! I also had some of the Jacobs oddidites cracker snacks (the ready salted kind) for the fist time.......not sure about them. The portion is HUGE for 114 cals and they do feel "naughty" but they taste like something and i'm not sure what, but it's not ready salted.
Snack- Some red grapes.
Dinner- I made some healthy egg fried rice make with brown rice, peas, spring onion, 1 egg and light soy sauce. I also had some grilled hallumi cheese and same raw pepper too. It was yummy!
Snack-I had a frozen areo mousse (best idea,EVER!)that was lovely! high in sugar but only 94 cals.

Drinks- 3 liters of water and countless cups of green tea.
Workouts- 30 mins on the bike.

so that's what I eat today, I know, I know, too many carbs, too much sugar....but, low in calories and filling, and the most important part is it's yummy!

Elemis fresh skin softly softly daily moisturizer & dreamy sleep moisturisers!

Elemis have done a very important thing with their freshskin range because I have always felt there has been a gap in the market when it comes to skin care. For the longest time, I feel like there have been ranges for teens, and ranges for older women, us ladies in our 20's were being over looked!

We no longer need spot cream, but we don't want to overload our skin with heavy night creams, so we need light hydration that doesn't leave our faces oily.

The Elemis softly softly daily moistriser has a lively natural herbal scent and it does feel lovely on the skin. it's slightly thicker than your average daily moisturiser  and I would only wear it in the house due to the fact it has no SPF, but it does give your skin some added radiance.







The dreamy sleep moisturizer is an overnight replenishing cream that again,smells amazing and feels nice on the skin, and does feel like it's going to nourish your skin during the night.

At £20 for the day cream and £22 for the night cream they are not exactly budget buys, but as you get a little older it's good to invest in your skin care a little more.

REN glycolactic radiance renewal mask

Enter the review of the blogger cult classic....scary! This is so a hyped about product that I was so excited to try it, I love anything that claims to be brightening and smoothing, and I just felt like I would adore it....

This is a mask that uses glycolic acid to help your skin look fresh & renewed, getting rid of the dead skin cell and leaving your with a radiant complexion. REN uggest you apply this on clean skin, leave on for 10mins and remove with a muslin cloth (is it just me or these days is everything removed with a muslin cloth?) so I tend to use this on my pamper nights.




My main issue with this, mainly because it has been so hyped up was it just didn't make my skin look AMAZING...don't get me wrong, it is pretty smoothing and my skin did look nice and fresh, but I guess I just has higher expectations. It smeels beautiful, like sweet oranges and I do love the packaging, and the fact it has a pump is always a plus for me.

Over all I do like this mask, and do enjoy using it I just don't feel like it made my skin look & feel as amazing as I was expecting, but that may also be down to the fact my skin is use to these types of products.

Available here  for £30per 50ml.
