NSPA products which are affordable at home spa treatments..

Introduction: How do I relax best?

Hello everyone so sorry I haven't been as active! All my assignments have just been sent before Christmas so really tried to get stuck in before I end up stressing in the new year.. not good for the soul that! I am not sure about you but I live a very hectic lifestyle, I tend to have days where I think i'm normal again, but that was just a breather & it all happens again! Therefore that's why I think it's important to just spare half hour to an hour daily to just stop, breathe and relax. I do this by either going for a run, boxing cardio session at home and then followed with a hot shower and my nspa products.

Anyhow, I noticed a lot of beauty bloggers are suggesting the nspa as a Christmas gift or treat to yourself, and I would definitely agree. Nspa have taken experience from their 25 years’ spa experience and created professional, affordable and indulgent beauty products for us.. finally, somebody! With skincare, bathing and body care ranges designed especially to treat, care for and de-stress even the busiest people. They have now launched a pregnancy range which looks amazing! Nspa can be found in believe it or not - your nearest ASDA store! I am not sure about other supermarkets but I'm sure it's available elsewhere if ASDA sell these products.

You can find them on Facebook here & their Twitter here.

Bargain! This box is only £10 in Asda which is not bad at all for 4 products that actually work! Listed below exact box:

From right to left,

1. Melting Cleansing Gel: this can be off-putting to people with oily skin because of the word 'gel' - do not be afraid of that! This is gentle but effective as the formulation melts and emulsifies into a milk when you touch contact with water. The beauty of the Grape seed oil dissolves make-up thoroughly and hidden away impurities on the skin. When we remove impurities, what happens? Skin radiance shines through! Ginseng is your pocket full of moisturizer and it's packed with vitamin E as well as avocado, apricot and neroli oils. How can you not be convinced? Your skin is going to be looking flawless, healthy and kissable (you're going to smell YUMMY) - Dermatologically approved. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin - perfect for my skin type on that record.
2. Hot Cloth Polish: A mild polish? bet you've not tried this have you! A polish is aimed on the skin to Cleanse, exfoliate and brighten your skin. Rich, creamy cocoa butter combined with sweet almond oil dissolve the day’s make-up and impurities before buffing away dead skin cells using the muslin cloth (this comes in the box above however you can also buy it singular and it comes with the cloth) Bursting with Natural vitamin E, avocado, apricot and neroli oils combine to leave skin feeling soft and moisturized. Again, this is step 2your skin is getting a very thorough, but gentle almost all natural cleanse. You can use an exfoliating glove as a replacement, just be careful you don't scrub to harshly on the skin with that as you can use these products day and night but exfoliating too much may cause aggravation. - Again, Dermatologically approved. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. 150ml.
3. Radiant Flash Serum: Did you have a long night last night? Have you tried every concealer there is in the book to prevent the look of those tired eyes? The dreadful: 'yes she did go out last night', 'yes she was on the wine last night' and the the one we try to avoid the most which I think, is incredibly cheeky! 'Wow! you look tired what the heck have you been doing!' Well, this may be the thing for you. This beauty serum has been described as ‘sleep in a bottle’ as it recreates the benefits of a night of deep sleep. Packed with a powerful mix of moisturizing ginseng and natural vitamin E, radiance boosting maca root and grapeseed oil. Againt don't be afraid of all the oils in this product, their good oils used in small portions work wonders on your skin! - Again, Dermatologically approved. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. 150ml.
4. Brightening Day Cream with SPF 15: A light, easily absorbed day cream ideal for anyone in a rush! Packed to the rim with natural vitamin E, sweet almond oil and radiance-boosting maca root to replenish and restore skin throughout the day. It contains SPF 15, providing a protective barrier to help prevent against sun damage. Key to anyone in the sun, however ladies we know what SPF can do on a night out - yes, no one could tell we contoured thanks to our flash enemy! Use this moisturizer in the day and avoid foundations and moisturizes that have SPF in for the night to avoid a scary white face and shocker brown arms.

Overview, do I recommend?

When it was all younger make-up wipes were enough. This was because I rarely wore make-up and it was just to cleanse my skin really. As I got older though, I obviously wear eye make-up, primers, concealers and so on therefore make-up wipes don't do the trick solo anymore. I find that these products work an absolute treat. They are not to harsh on the skin but they're effective. I recently tried the deep cleanser by Nspa and I wasn't as impressed with that as I thought I could use it daily but you can't as it's very deep cleansing, so I guess you know what's coming up next... I broke out big time. Another lesson learnt anyway, over-cleansing and over-exfoliating lead to breakouts as well as clogged pores and bad diets! 

I tend to use this as a weekly treat though because I use clinique 3 step introduction kit now. This is because this works more effectively on my sensitive skin.

NSPA is against animal testing. None of their products or raw materials have been tested on animals. My most recent photo is below which you can find on instagram over here. (I follow all beauty bloggers back)

In the image above, I have on the following products:

Please feel free to share your thoughts, comments and problems as well - I am always more than delighted to engage conversation!

My October Makeup Haul!

Hi Everyone! I hope you have had  a super scary and exciting Halloween! I went too Liverpool for Halloween with my friends and stayed in a gorgeous 5* hotel and we partied the night away.. it was amazing! On our way home we went too Cheshire Oaks near Liverpool, UK & we got a little carried away whilst shopping! Here are the beauty products I have brought, tested and now I would like too share my opinion with you... 

Double Wear

I have had this foundation for around 2-3 weeks actually. The bottle is without a pump and as soon as you unscrew the top - it's literally all open so I have been using an ear bud too use the foundation. I dip the ear bud in there (clean obviously haha) and then dab on the areas on my face. I use a beauty blender as I do not like applying makeup with brushes unless it's eye shadow. This is because I feel like the foundation blends more and not as much gets wasted and lost within the bristles of a brush. 

The foundation is thick and I have noticed that the coverage yes... it's 100% amazing coverage and It DOES last a good 8 hours. I have struggled for so long too find a foundation like this and it did cost me £29.50 but I know Estee Lauder is a company I would trust with my money so it's definitely worth while with what it promises. 

Adding too that however.. I have blended one application of the foundation, thinking I could then add some more maybe too my freckles when I am going out - the foundation seems very hard too blend then. I have noticed my makeup then gets that dirty/muddy look as soon as I apply another layer. It also doesn't matter what I have done too prime my skin either. This is leading onto why I have brought the other products.

 Double Wear Concealer (stay in place)

I am quite frankly struggling with bags already and I am 18! I work nights, have either too much sleep or too much, I haven't invested in any eye creams or potions because I didn't think I'd need too. However yes in the morning, I have noticed I have been getting bags and just an un-youthful look around my eyes and I realized maybe now it's time too take care of them and in the meantime.. disguise them! 

When I went too get a match for the foundation - the lady also recommended me this which I absolutely fell in love with. You can apply this after or before the foundation. However the concealer is very thick and I think since the foundation is thick to apply, I would apply this first and I apply it using my fingers. I would recommend dabbing the product in your desired areas. Mine would be my eyes and around my chin. This concealer is RRP £21.50 however I grabbed a bargain on my shopping trip at just £15.50 and the light shade to medium.

Smashbox Photo Finish primer.

Okay.. I think we all know no matter what foundation you are wearing - a primer makes all the difference. I have tried MAC, Maybelline, L'Oreal, NYC and many other primers. I know it's so easy too stick too what you know however their are so many amazing beauty products appearing - and they definitely just need too be given a go! 

I hold my hands up when I brought the foundation - I didn't wear a primer and I didn't even buy one on the day (only because I was limited with money) so I was obviously so excited when I brought a primer. Smash box is a company I would always swear by. Simply because I think we all put faith into companies who make-up artists use who we really like! I have never tried this one before however I have tried the oil-free primer and the photo finish light primer. Both of the products were - OK - however I didn't like the feel either of them had on my skin. That silky feeling for a primer has never grown on me when I can't see any product - If that makes sense? I would prefer a dewy finish as in my skin feels rich and plump.. everyone is too their own I guess. Although I must say I am not here too slate the company whatsoever I just didn't want anyone too think I was writing a false review as in I was getting paid too do this - just too clarify I am not.. I just want too become a successful beauty blogger one day. 

This primer is exactly the feel I don't necessarily like - it's very silky and smooth on the skin. I must give it brownie points though. The Estee Lauder foundation lasts amazing without primer anyway.. HOW GOOD IS THAT?! YET OH MY GOODNESS.. the primer with this AND the concealer - I think I'm onto a winner with the flawless finish look. 

Finally I would like too add - I wouldn't recommend the foundation every day simply because it's so thick It has made an impact on my skin, I had a major breakout on my chin and I think I need a more concentrated make-up cleanser when removing the product because I do know how important It is too remove make-up before bed but it's obviously just very heavy on my skin.

That is the only lesson I have took from this which is great to be honest, it's not a bad lesson because I have learnt something from my own personal experience: to invest in a good concealer and too wear a foundation that initially lets the skin breathe i.e. Hello Flawless by Benefit.

I am considering buying that and reviewing the product for you all too see i.e. comparing pictures with both foundations.

Overview

The Estee Lauder is fantastic for nights out, heavy work days and beach days as it does have SPF 10 which is great however obviously be careful with the photographs because we all know SPF plays havoc with making us look like ghosts in our photos! 

I hope you enjoyed my small but invested make-up haul and that you have took something from my experience..maybe you agree or disagree? Please feel free too leave a comment below or any business enquiries email me at: wynnemariasophie@gmail.com

At the moment I am not being sponsored or getting paid too advertise these products. I also am giving my 100% truthful opinion and I wouldn't ever false advertise a product.
