It contains Sunflower Seed Oil and Shea Butter to nourish hair, as well as Rice Water and Starch to add smoothness and shine.
This hair mask has a medium consistency that is easy to rinse off, and a beautiful light and sweet floral scent which I like.
It helps detangle my hair in the shower and leaves it feeling very soft and also thicker. As it contains starch I am able to feel a bit of texture on my hair after rinsing so does not leave it feeling completely smooth but I like that it makes it look thicker.
If you are looking for a light hair mask that makes hair look thick and shiny I would definitely recommend this one. I think it would be ideal for straight and thin hair especially!

It is formulated to smooth and brighten the skin thanks to Glycolic Acid, Kiwi Fruit and Mulberry Extracts. Other notable ingredients include Allantoin, Hamamelis Water, and Extracts of Sugar Cane, Sweet Orange, Lemon and Maple.
It has a very light, watery consistency that absorbs quickly into the skin. I use a cotton pad and swipe it on my face and neck.
The old version of this product used to have 5% glycolic acid, however, this new version does not specify a percentage. It also indicates that it can be used twice daily, though I like to use it only a couple of times a week.
I like the herbal, slightly fruity scent, reminiscent of a masculine fragrance (which is the same across other products in the range) and how it makes my skin feel softer and smoother immediately after use. I also notice an improvement in pores and texture with this toner.
It can also be used on the body to help with tone, texture and hyperpigmentation.
Overall, a great product that I will continue to use and recommend if you are looking for an affordable and effective exfoliating toner.

It has a runny consistency but still feels very moisturising on the skin, so I do not need to use a separate product underneath. It does leave a very glowy finish which is not ideal if you have oily skin like me, however, it can be solved with a bit of face powder. I would love to try the Matte version!
It has a medium thick texture and coats the lips nicely, forming a protective layer that leaves them feeling moisturised and comfortable, with a glossy finish. Definitely interested in trying the tinted versions too. It is hard to find lip balms with SPF, so this is a great option for summer!
It features a light, whipped texture that absorbs completely into the skin quickly (I forgot I had it on about 10 minutes after application). It softens, moisturises and protects without any greasy feeling. SPF in hand creams is also a bit harder to come by so this will be my must have of the season!
Out of the 3 products I received, this is the only fragranced one - with notes of orange, florals and musk, for a warm, fruity and slightly sweet scent which I enjoy.
Other products I'd love to try from this brand are the Retouch Face Mist and Brightening Eye Cream.

I received the Vichy Liftactiv Collagen Specialist Eye Care from the Vichy Community to test and review.
Infused with 5% Pro-collagen Complex and designed to target 5 eye ageing signs: crow's feet, under eye wrinkles, eye bags, dark circles and dropping eye lids.
Other notable ingredients include Vitamin C, Caffeine, Vitamin E,and 3 types of peptides.
I really like the medium-thick texture that feels nourishing but not heavy or greasy, it leaves my under eye area feeling very soft and moisturised.
It truly seems to help reduce dark circles, however, the fine lines on the inner corners of my under eyes are still visible after using the eye cream for a couple of weeks. I kept on using it as I love peptides in skincare but unfortunately did not notice any changes regarding that as it was not as hydrating as I would have liked.

As part of the YesStyle Influencer program (join using the link in my bio) I received the P Lab Quesera Ceramide Ampoule and Time Stop Peptide Eye Cream by The Plant Base.
The P Lab Quesera Ceramide Ampoule features Rice Extract, Niacinamide, Rice Bran Oil, Adenosine, Licorice Extract, 5 types of Ceramides and Phytosphingosine to hydrate and strengthen the skin barrier.
This Ampoule has a light, milky texture that spreads easily and absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling soft, moisturised and soothed.
I love the glass bottle, it feels very good quality and the lid actually locks in with a satisfying click. The only thing I'm not sure about is the earthy scent but it is a nice serum overall!
The Time Stop Peptide Eye Cream is formulated to brighten the skin while improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles thanks to 36% Rose Extract, 10% Honey Extract, Macadamia Seed Oil, Niacinamide, Shea Butter, Argan Oil, Ceramide NP, Jojoba Oil, Adenosine, Rose Culture Extracts and 10ppb Peptides.
It has a beautiful texture that looks like iridescent set honey but melts into the skin immediately, giving it a beautiful pearlescent glow.
It feels light on the skin and moisturises nicely, leaving it glowing and hydrated. Sadly, while I'm loving the texture, feel and ingredients, it does make my skin red and blotchy so it seems my eye area is not loving it too 🥺

A while ago I was selected as a Bubble Ambassador and my welcome gift was the Fresh Start Cleanser.
Formulated with super gentle surfactants, Lavender Water, Spearmint Extract, Aloe Leaf Juice, Caffeine, Red Algae Extract and Gluconolactone to soothe, reduce redness & puffiness, regulate oil production and gently exfoliate. Talk about a multi-tasker!
My skin feels soft, hydrated, clean and smooth every time I use this cleanser.
It is so gentle, I love the cute packaging (the size is perfect for traveling or just testing it out!), it is gentle and effective, and you only need a small amount with each use so will last a long time.
Make sure to check it out if you are looking for a new cleanser and stay tuned for a couple of new cleanser launches soon!
Today Dot got me the new issue of British Vogue, which comes with a free notebook with the cutest illustrations from the 1920s.
I also received some NYX goodies recently, including the Epic Wear Waterproof Liner in Red and the Fat Oil Lip Drip in Follow Back and new shade Losin Cone-Trol.
Loving this combo for a Snow White, pale skin, cherry-red lips & cheeks look. Yes, even in the summer - I'm not the biggest fan of a tan 🤭
🍒 Huda Beauty Blush Filter in Black Cherry: it is super pigmented so only a tiny amount is needed. I love the packaging and it smells delicious! Shop at Sephora and, Cult Beauty.
🍒 MUA Hydra Juice Peptide Lip Balm in Cherry Kiss: ultra glossy, plumping and with a pretty tinted finish on the lips. Shop at Superdrug and MUA Store.
This tinted complexion enhancer contains smooth OleoGel and a glossy Luminizer Peptide to create a healthy, radiant finish on the skin. It can be used on its own or under foundation.
Notable ingredients include Soybean Glycerides, Shea Butter, Lentil Extract, Vitamin C, Tripeptide-3 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-10.
The product is easy to use, just shake, dispense and apply. It glides easily over the skin, leaving it moisturised, with a unifying wash of colour and a radiant glow.
I like how natural it looks on the skin once blended, however, as I have oily skin, it just makes me look very oily due to my texture and enlarged pores. I would love to see a mattifying version for oily skin as I really like the natural tint it gives.
Featuring amazing ingredients such as Organic Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Orange Fruit or Flower Hydrolate, Vegetable Glycerin, at least 94% naturally derived ingredients in vegan formulas, plus gorgeous fragrances, this range is a must have this season if you are looking for cleansed, hydrated and soft skin!
It's made with watermelon hydrosol which provides vitamins and antioxidants, promotes hydration and reduces fine lines, and Cucumber hydrosol, which cools the skin and reduces irritation while hydrating the skin. It also uses hyaluronic acid for extra hydration.
This blend makes it very hydrating without feeling heavy or greasy so it's ideal for summer!
I love how light it feels on my skin, it absorbs quickly and leaves it hydrated, with a nice glow.
I won Coach of the Month on the Superdrug Community and was gifted a beautiful flower bouquet plus a massive box full of beauty items! (will be making a dedicated post about it soon). I also won a limited edition Radley x Beano tote bag (not pictured).
From Sourcerie I received a Wild Shower Set, and a Shampoo and Bag from uklash.
From StyleKorean I received some TMRM sets with Mixsoon and Pyunkang Yul products.
For Christmas Dot got me 2 agendas, Crabtree & Evelyn and Kath Kidston hand creams, a macro lens, Rilakkuma canister, Moomin lamp, a jewellery box, Korres bodycare, a blouse from H&M, a Hello Kitty headband and nail file set, a Thumper makeup bag and hedgehog pjs. From my in-laws I got a new dressing gown, Snoopy pjs, Lindt chocolate, bedding, a Winnie The Pooh cardigan, Dove bodycare, and another agenda. From my sister-in-law and nieces I got gift cards, chocolate, a hedgehog agenda and magnesium spray.
Last but not least, I selected some trousers and a cardigan for my Cubic collaboration.
Summer is here but it's still freezing so I will still be seen wearing a jacket for the foreseeable future. This wool jacket from Cubic dresses up any outfit, so I went for a monochrome look with leather details in my new bag and loafers. Love the lace from the top peeking out of the jacket sleeves.
It is Canada Day today, and to celebrate there was an event at Trafalgar Square in London yesterday.
The event was free, Tokyo Police Club were the the main act, and as it was their only concert date in the whole of Europe in their farewell tour, so I could not miss it!
They opened with Breakneck Speed and played lots of songs, including many of my favourites.
They played Favorite Color, New Blues, Nature Of The Experiment, Hands Reversed, Bambi, End Of A Spark, Argentina Part I, Wait Up (Boots of Danger), Tessellate, Simple Dude, Be Good, Hang Your Heart, Hot Tonight, Box.
For the encore they played Your English Is Good and Cheer It On (from what I remember)
Wish they played Citizens Of Tomorrow but they didn't - should have requested it when they asked on Instagram!
I wanted to record their whole show but I also wanted to dance and sing which pretty much spoils any footage if you try to do both so I had to find the right balance!
The band started their set early, before their allotted 7:20 starting time, and also came back for an encore of 2 more songs, which was amazing!
After the encore we left slowly and I saw Dave coming out the backstage area towards were I had just been (front row, under the stage). I called him and asked if I could have a picture, and he said "Yeah, yeah" but kept on walking so I was walking beside him for a few seconds until he said "I'll come back". I waited there for a moment until I realised where he had gone, so went back to meet him and I got my picture (well, 3).
There were a few people still standing near the front so it makes sense that he wanted to go and meet them before they all left.
I said to him "I was at the front" and he replied "I saw you", then I said I loved the show, can't remember what he replied, then Dot also said to him that he liked the show, and we left. Not sure if the rest of the band also came out afterwards but I'm so happy I had the chance to see them one last time and even got a picture with Dave. Posted some of these pictures on my stories and TPC liked one of them.
