Skincare
St Ives Fresh Skin Moisturising Olive Scrub
Why it’s a winner: “What makes this product stand out is that it has olive leaf extracts and jojoba beads. These natural ingredients are great ingredients to help improve the skin’s complexion. The texture of the scrub is quite gentle and creamy on my skin and no way near harsh against my sensitive skin.” – pinkheart
QV Face Purifying Mask
Why it’s a winner: “I am an absolute mask junkie and I love QV so when they bought out a mask I had to have it. The QV range is so simple yet effective and gentle on sensitive skin, so just right for me. Feels incredibly comfortable as I have dry skin but I do get a few blemishes here and there so it’s also excellent to calm and purify at the same time.” – Gofton
NIVEA VISAGE Anti-Wrinkle Q10PLUS Tinted Day Cream
Why it’s a winner: “I found that it gave me just a little extra colour on my face whilst evening out my skin tone without the need for a full face of make-up. ”¨This is such a great buy. And for someone on a budget or needs to streamline there skin-care routine you couldn’t pass this up with a moisturiser, tinted coverage, anti-aging benefits and SPF all in one. Its like all your Christmases have come at once.” – keppers
Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Night Renewal Cream
Why it’s a winner: “This night cream is so so so great! It smells absolutely delicious, its consistency is light and non-greasy, it sinks right in and it feels so so good. ”¨In the morning your skin will be soft and supple and look positively radiant. No greasiness, which is something I find with most night creams. ”¨This is a really great product, I am truly loving the Palmer’s skin care range.” – jessticle
Elizabeth Arden Prevage Face Advanced Anti-Aging Formula
Why it’s a winner: “This leaves my face glowing, radiant and revived along with a smooth and even texture (much less pigmentation). Who needs cosmetic surgery when a serum can achieve results like these? This is a really impressive and powerful serum that shows visible positive changes to my skin, Exactly why I believe this deserves to be nominated for a Glosscar!” – goddessmagick
Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Wash
Why it’s a winner: “I never had a major problem with acne before I used this, only a few pimples here and there but it seems to have cleared even those! Since I have been using it I have hardly had a pimple, which suggests to me it is doing a pretty good job. What I also love about it is it makes my skin look very clear, fresh and it is not drying which is great.” – Stefaneigh
Garnier Skin Naturals Youthful Radiance Anti-Dark Circles Roll-On Concealer
Why it’s a winner: “I love how the concealer just sits on top of my skin, without soaking in, and upon application, feels so cool and refreshing, so much so that on occasion I feel like slathering the whole tube all over my face!” – jozzzy
Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Gentle Daily Cleanser
Why it’s a winner: “As expected from the texture, it doesn’t foam up when I use it on my face unlike other cleanser. Leaves my skin feeling nice and hydrated and very gentle on the skin too. It also removes excess oil on my face without over-drying it.” – Vivalicious Beauty
Dermalogica UltraCalming Mist
Why it’s a winner: “Living in a humid, tropical climate can be a shocker at most but all is relieved with UltraCalming Mist as it gives me back the moisture I need and keeps my skin comfortable. The scent is so relaxing and it soothes not only my skin but also my senses as Lavender does best.” – Gofton
Clinique Even Better Clinical
Why it’s a winner: “After using it for six weeks my skin tone has evened out, my skin looks bright and glowing. I haven’t noticed a dramatic difference in reduction of sunspots and old pigmentation on my nose and cheeks. But one great difference I have noticed is that the dark circles under my eyes are fading. Pimple scars on my chin are still in the process of fading. I have faith in this product and will keep using it and I am sure that clear and beautiful complexion is just one step away!” – Delicious Girl
