L'Occitane Angelica Hydration Cream

I received this item from Glossy Box to try and review. I have to say, the product retails at around £30 per 50ml (Gulp!) so straight off, this put the expectations pretty high!

Here's how it looks: 

A very attractive little pot but most of the writing is in French. Helpful for the French but not particularly helpful for me... It does explain in English on the packaging also however. Upon applying the product I immediately noticed the smell, its not really to my taste but my Mother really liked it. Its got a very natural and light smell which I cant quite place but I'm guessing its the essential oils and the Angelica Water. Its a very light cream, it feels very luxurious on your face. I applied it to just one half of my face so I could feel the difference and I have to say I was not disappointed. The side of my face I applied it on felt lovely and smooth, non sticky, non greasy and very soft. 

I wouldn't pay the price for the product, but my Mother would. I am reluctant to spend that amount of money on a product that doesn't knock my socks off. 

To sum it up, great product, over priced. ;)

Simple Hydrating Facial Moisturiser

I will admit it to you all now, my deep dark secret, my skeletons in the closet... I do not moisturise! I am a typical woman, I get enticed by the advert of the woman running on the beach complaining about dry skin who then raves and smiles about a new brand of expensive moisturiser so off I trot to buy it. I typically use it the week I buy it religiously, then forget all about it. 

Here is how it looks: 

So when I receive a free bottle of this Hydrating Moisturiser I got excited to use it, I have seen all the adverts about the natural, kind to skin formula which makes Simple unique.

I used it for about a week, and honestly do use it on and off still now. I found this product to be great. The moisturiser itself is very light, non sticky, no greasy. When you apply it and rub it in, you honestly forget in minutes that you have put it on, unlike other brands I have found where your hair sticks to your face in the wind! It has no smell, and it feels like it is actually doing your skin good. It feels gentle and moisturising all at the same time. Its RRP is £3.79 for 125ml and I will definately be buying this product when mine runs out, if it ever does ;)
