Brightening Face Mask

Posted by dulwichmum on Wed 19 August 2009

facial-glow Name of product being tested: Elemental Herbology Facial Glow – a radiance peel masque.
Price: £35.72

The blurb: “A skin-brightening radiance peel, ideal for skins suffering from prolonged exposure to sun, pollution, central heating or wind. Designed to exfoliate dead surface cells and create a healthy, glowing complexion. This unique facial glow peels off the skin easily, leaving behind a renewed and awakened complexion.” In essence, this product was developed for city skin like mine!

First impressions: Simple, unglitzy packaging. This product has a creamy, slightly grainy texture and smells pleasantly of fresh orange peel.

Ease of Use: Very simple. Apply one teaspoon full of the cream, once a week, to clean, damp skin of face and décolleté (I adore that word!) and massage. Do not scrub. Leave for four minutes and wipe off with a damp flannel. Easy peasy!

Pros: This product is seriously effective and extremely impressive. I am a top level premium skincare junkie, with an established skincare regime and seriously addicted to facials and treatments. I am not easy to impress, but this is a highly effective, yet gentle mask that delivers amazing results. My skin looked healthy and glowing, and the fresh glow lasted for about three days.

Cons: I initially received this mask from a PR company last year, but I have bought another pot since. This product is genuinely addictive…

Value for money: This is a genuine must have. No, seriously, and yes, I consider it good value for money.

The Children’s Jewellery Company

Posted by dulwichmum on Mon 22 June 2009

Name of product: The Children’s Jewellery Company

Price: From £3.75 to around £10 for jewellery.

The blurb: “The Children’s Jewellery Company offers a unique range of jewellery for children online. Most of the items are handmade, and make an ideal gift for girls and boys.

The girls range includes girls necklaces, bracelets and earrings, there is also an amazing range of girls accessories – Funky hair clips hand made in America, Stunning girls handbags, and the sweetest fluffiest children’s tutus for parties.”

The funky button bracelet, chosen by my six year old poppet Freya, can be made in so many colours, there isn’t room to list them here. Lovely buttons of all shapes and sizes, flower, hearts, rounds. Apparently each is unique!

First impressions: The site is simple, uncluttured and engaging for any child or busy mum to shop. My daughter selected a cute bracelet and we received it within 24 hours, posted by first class Royal Mail. It was beautifully packaged and Freya was really impressed as was I

Ease of Use: Very simple

Pros: When my daughter was off school sick, she enjoyed copying mummy and shopping online. She took an age perusing this site. It is an ideal spot to select trinkets for party bags or gifts for a little chum’s birthday. The bracelet was really sweet and very well made.

Cons: I am not sure that I have not unleashed a dragon now. My daughter is becoming a committed online shopper… she is just 6 (wail)

Value for money: 5/5, these are not cheap, but they are very lovely and many are one off pieces
