Alpha-H 3 Piece Radiant Skin Collection including 200ml Liquid Gold

If you hadn't guessed by now that I absolutely adore Alpha-H, I don't know how I could make it more obvious. Over the past few years, I have really loved getting to know the products and understanding how best to use them with my own skin, much of that advice coming from both Tommy and Michelle themselves. Having been around for 24 years, Alpha-H formulate all of their own products and now have over 2000 clinics worldwide offering Alpha-H facials - the absolute dream as well as being stocked in over 25 countries including prestige clinics, exclusive day spas, TV shopping networks, cosmetic giant Sephora, department stores Marks & Spencer, Myer and Harvey Nichols, as well as a selection of premium airlines including British Airways and Virgin Atlantic.

Today sees the launch of a brand new member of the Alpha-H family but to get your hands on it before it goes on general sale, it will be part of a QVC TSV right HERE.  The collection also debuts a fresh new look for Alpha-H in 2019 and as part of the brand's commitment to using sustainable packaging with almost 40% of its new tubes and bottles being made from recycled materials.

The QVC TSV will feature three products - The Balancing Cleanser with Aloe Vera, a 200ml bottle of Liquid Gold and the brand new Essential Skin Perfecting Moisturiser and it will cost less than £38!

The Balancing Cleanser (200ml) – I loved this cleanser from the first use and am glad to have another one in my stash. If you like a cream cleanser, then this is a really creamy cleanser which is free from dying detergents and SLS's. Not only does it remove absolutely every single trace of makeup that is on your face, including that hard to budge waterproof mascara but it also works as a 3-in-1 product - how? Well, it essentially acts as a makeup remover, cleanser and toner all in one. Enriched with aloe vera to condition and soothe alongside vitamin E to hydrate and neutralise free radicals, after using I love how my skin feels. rather than being dry or taut it is instead cleansed and smooth so I don't feel the need to smother my skin in as much moisturiser as possible.

Liquid Gold 200ml Supersize – Again, you might have noticed that this bottle of joy has had itself a little bit more of a makeover.  I have to confess, I am loving the minimal look white packaging and gold letter of the Alpha-H brand (despite my camera flash not showing it). Liquid Gold is possibly the most known product from the Alpha-H line up and if you haven't tried it, you should. Described as being a powerful firming serum, this works like an 'overnight facial' to tighten and revitalise tired, ageing skin and radically improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, open pores and acne prone skin conditions. Liquorice helps combat acne and hyper-pigmentation, whilst Glycolic Acid (derived from sugar cane), jump-starts the skin's metabolism - refining its texture by dissolving the bonds that hold dead skin cells together, so they're sloughed away with your morning cleanse to reveal a more luminous, glowing complexion. Recently I discovered that you can use Liquid Gold all over the body and not just the face to remove dead and dry skin cells, so that is exactly what I am doing!

The final product of the TSV is the brand new Alpha-H Essential Skin Perfecting Moisturiser and as I have only just got my hands on it, there will be a full review of it coming.  

Described as being a revolutionary new generation moisturiser, it is a 5-in-1 product which moisturises, primes, shields against blue light and pollution as well as filtering UV light! It has an SPF15 and packed full of scientifically validated antioxidants and is complemented by antioxidant stimulating and skin shielding ingredients. It has a non-greasy, non-whitening formulation and I absolutely love the velvety texture and how quickly it absorbs into the skin.  This is a product to definitely try and get your hands on!

This entire collection goes on presale with QVC at 8am today and you can grab it here or look for QVC item number 237674.

Erborian CC Red Correct

I absolutely love the brand that is Erborian, every single product I have tried, the Black Cleansing Oil being one of my favourites (review here), I have loved and the new CC Red Correct Review is no exception. The Erborian skincare brand, its name derived from 'Herbs of the Orient', was born back in 2007 and can best be described as being a fusion of traditional South Korean beauty remedies and French luxury. Erborian uses natural science and proven ingredients to create unique formulas that rejuvenate and restore skin's luminosity.

Using high-tech, multi-use formulas which help to improve the appearance of your skin, this is the secret to achieving that visibly perfect complexion using Korean skincare. The latest release, CC Red Correct which is described as being a multi-purpose formula which has an ultra-fine texture containing pigments to help correct redness and enhance the skin's appearance and it also has an SPF25.   

If you are a regular user of colour correcting products, then you will not be surprised to find that the cream itself has a green tint to it because green does help correct redness and it is one of my most used products to date. Upon application, CC Red Correct adapts precisely to match your skin tone and it does so without turning orange or yellow like similar products have done, instead what it does do is even out the complexion and helps to reduce blemishes. 

CC RED CORRECT contains:

• Glycerin which is moisturising and helps to prevent skin dehydration. 
• Tiger grass extract (Centella asiatica) which helps to soothe, prevents signs of ageing, contributes to improving the skin's firmness and helps to improve skin elasticity. 
• Vitamin E Antioxidant 
• Green pigments which help to provide colour correction by reducing the appearance of redness.

I apply the CC Red Correct cream using my beauty blender to fab it onto my skin and then blend it onto the parts where I feel it needs to be applied, followed by my foundation or tinted moisturiser and there is no sign of the redness peaking through. It also doesn't change how long my makeup lasts when I use the cream and I do find it is really hydrating because my dryness on each cheek is usually where my skin is the driest.

The Erborian CC Red Correct retails for £17/38 - HERE.

Glossybox Ft. HUDA Beauty- February 2019

The February edition of Glossybox is a Valentine's themed beauty box featuring none other than HUDA Beauty and it is titled "It's All About Love".  Glossybox are on a roll right now with the last  4 boxes completely selling out and it is expected that this month will be the 5th, so grab it quick. 

This months box features 5 beauty and skincare products and has a value of over £50 and for me, most excitingly is that inside this box is some Korean skincare and we all know what a fan of K-Beauty I am!  

The first product out of the box is the Luxie Beauty Onyx Noir Small Contouring Face Brush. Described as being paraben-free and vegan, this brush is perfect for contouring. 

It has really soft but ultra-fine bristles which are made for creamy and powdery textures, blemishing and blending rouge, bronzer and highlighter along the cheekbones, temples, nose and chin.

The second product out of the box is a full-sized bottle of Nails Inc Varnish and I have the shade Status Ready. This Plum red nail polish is absolutely stunning and perfect for Valentines.  

It is described as being super glossy, sultry and long-lasting.  I really like the brushes that come with a Nails Inc polish, they are big enough to cover my nails which means fewer streaks and stress. 

Toothpaste isn't usually a product I get excited about admittedly, the mister and I tend to use whatever I pick up at the supermarket.  However, from Regenerate we have the Enamel Science Advanced Toothpaste which is described as being a regenerating, strengthening, mineral restoring toothpaste.  

It boasts the unique NR-5 ingredients, is said to reverse the early enamel erosion process whilst at the same time giving you pearly whites teeth and fresh, minty breath.

Up next is the Vitamasque Multivitamin Mask and this is where my love of all things K-Beauty come into play and I couldn't wait to unwrap it and try it out.  Described as being suitable for all skin types, this multi-vitamin mask is packed full of Vitamins B3, B5, B6, C and E which work to soothe, hydrate and nourish your skin. 

The mask itself is made of incredibly thin material and it feels absolutely incredible on the skin, so much so, I have ordered a few more!

As an extra treat, this month Glossybox have included Mugler Alien fushion fragrance samples for him and her.  I know some people are not fans if fragrance samples but I personally like them and the reason for that is being able to give something a try away from a department store/fragrance store in your own environment where you would usually wear your fragrances.  

I am personally not a fan of Alien fragrances as they just don't sit right on my skin but they are described as follows:

• Alien Fusion for Her: A hot and spicy scent with an intense firey trail. 
• Alien Fusion for Him: A leathery vibrant and addictive fragrance that will awaken his senses.

Both fragrances come in a 30ml and 50ml.

The final item out of the box and the one I am sure most people will be wanting to get their hands on is the Huda Beauty Lip Contour and I have shade Flirt. Designed to help you create a full, enviable pout without having filler. 

Waterproof and transfer free, the contour pencil literally glides onto the lips and is insanely pigmented, more so than I was expecting to find if I am honest. Flirt is described as being a 90's nude and it is more on the brown side than the more naked nude, but it does apply just absolutely beautifully.

I really like the mixture of products in this months box with both beauty and makeup and obviously, the inclusion of high-end brands such as Huda is always a nice treat.  If this box has caught your imagination, then you can treat yourself or someone you love to this February Box and if you use the code LOVE, you can grab 20% off your first box.

Comfort Zone | Tranquility Kit

I am obsessed with being able to create that Spa sense of Zen at home, I want to walk in and be immediately comforted and relaxed within my surroundings, feel at ease when I sit on the sofa and leave the day of troubles I have had at the door when I close it. Comfort Zone is a brand I was introduced to some time ago and I was lucky enough to win a beautiful gift set in one of their Instagram competitions. With a mission to mission to promote a holistic, soulful, healthy and sustainable lifestyle, with advanced science-based conscious solutions to visibly improve skin, body and mind, it is ticking each and every one of those boxes for me. 

[ comfort zone ] was conceived in Parma, Italy, in 1996 as the skincare division of Davines Group, a family-owned company still in the caring hands of the Bollati Family. What began as a research laboratory and manufacturing site for the development of high-quality formulas has grown into an internationally awarded and distributed professional range of spa treatments and home care.

I have the Tranquillity collection which is described as follows:

When the frenzy of every day life, stress and lack of sleep take their toll on your mood and affect your vitality and beauty, it’s time for TRANQUILLITY™.
This aromatic nourishing bath and body system contains an exclusive blend of essential oils that help you manage stress and rediscover a sense of profound tranquility and wellbeing.
Free from silicones, parabens, mineral oils and sles, high rate of natural-origin ingredients.
The silky touch textures soft and embracing, nourish and render the skin silky, thanks to a high concentration of oils and butters which bestows extraordinary pleasure and efficacy.

We all know that lack of sleep and stress can cause dangers to our health, I already live with high blood pressure and don't need to any other ailments to the list, so taking time out to de-stress and relax is an important part of my routine, whether it is just 5-10 minutes or an hour - it all helps and this is exactly what Tranquillity is designed to do.

With my gift set, I was presented with three products - a Body Cream, a Hand Cream and a Shower Cream but the range extends much further than that to include a candle, nourishing bath and body oils, a room spray and a body lotion, all of which sound just divine.

The Tranquillity Body Cream is a beautifully rich, nourishing, aromatic body cream that smells just absolutely incredible.  Quite thick in texture, it glides onto the skin and as you massage it in, the fragrance comes to life and is incredibly relaxing. 

Ultra nourishing it can be used by all skin types but is especially good for those who have very dry and in temperate and cold climates. Ideal at the end of the day to calm and alleviate stress.

The Tranquillity Hand Cream has been an absolute delight to use and if you follow me on Instagram, then you might have seen this tube in the background of some of my stories.  Lightweight in texture so it absorbs really quickly and rather than being greasy on the skin, it leaves my hands feeling smooth to the touch and scented just incredibly.

As with the body cream, this is a hand cream which has a relaxing scent to it and it is one which lingers on the skin and I absolutely love it.

The final product in this trio is quite possibly my favourite and it is the Tranquillity Shower Cream. With its creamy texture, on the skin, it cleanses really well giving that clean feeling, but it is also wonderfully hydrating and soothing too.  

As the shower cream comes into contact with the hot water and steam, the essential oils spring to life making it perfect for use at the end of the day rather than the beginning because it is designed to calm and alleviate stress along with the rest of the range.

The entire Tranquillity range is enriched with some key essential oils which make these products so wonderful and this includes:

• Amaranth oil - 
• Cedarwood essential oil
• Sweet orange essential oil
• Rose essential oil
• Sandalwood essential oil
• Geranium essential oil
• Vetiver essential oil

Putting all of these oils together, what you get is an immediate sensation of wellbeing, alleviating the state of stress and tension.

The whole Tranquillity range along with other products are available from Feelunique and prices start from £17 and I am really looking forward to grabbing a few other things from the range as a treat.
