Melvita Milky Cleansing Oil

Retailing at around £20 a full size bottle this product is fairly high end on the cleanser scale. Here is how the sample looks:

 I received it to review today and I can certainly see why the price tag is heavy. It's a really nice oil which comes out nice and slowly, you only need a few drops of it. You dab on face and rub in similar to a moisturiser and then use warm water to work it into a "milky texture" and then rinse away.

I have to say, I really really like this product and if it wasn't for the heavier price label I would definitely buy a bottle of this to use as my everyday cleanser. It smells unusual which when using nest on my face I wasn't too keen on but after rinsing it definitely smelled better.  It feels so silky and luxurious and once rinsed off my skin looked instantly more even and glowing. Big thumbs up from me but I personally wouldn't spend £20 on it, although I do think it's worth it, it's slightly above my comfort zone. Although maybe I could justify it to Mr Grump... "but honey, it matches my..."

BalanceMe Extra Care Wonder Eye Cream

As my readers (if there are any of you?!) will know by now that I do suffer with the appearance of my eyes, I'm 23 but I have tired looking eyes with black bags and discolouration that I have suffered with since I was a child. When I received this item from Glossy Box I was quite excited as I have heard about this cream before and its given 5 stars on the site. 

Its a very hefty priced product for us little people, at around £20 for 15ml (what?!) and I certainly wouldn't pay that price even for a "Miracle Eye Cream." 

Here is how it looks: 

Perhaps I was slightly cheeky straight off saying I wouldn't spend the money on it, as it really is a good product. It smells very pleasant for an eye cream, its made from 99% natural ingredients, and it feels lovely on the skin. Within seconds of applying the cream I felt a nice tightening affect around where the black bags generally live, and I could see a slight noticeable difference where my eyes looked a bit brighter straight away. I seemed to be the only person who noticed this however, so it might be mind over matter...

All in all a great product, the smell lingers for a while after which I loved, and the tight feeling lasted about 15 minutes. I like the product, but I wouldn't buy it simply because of the price. ;)
