Green People day solution hydrating balancing day cream

Well, this is the first blog post from my new iMac. How exciting!
I've never had an apple computer before so most things are new to me and I have no idea what apps etc to download yet. All I've done with it is watch a lot of tv before megavideo got shut down (boooo!)

Anyway, back to the matter at hand. I thought I'd do a quick review of a product I got in Glossy Box months ago. I didn't use it straight away as I had several other moisturisers on the go.
As part of my New Years Resolutions I've been trying to use things up and downsize my stash. So far I'm doing well and have a good sized pile of empties to blog about at the end of the month.
I'm not really one to review items, as I think theres so many out there and at the end of the day if you like a product or not its all down to personal opinion. I had to review this though as it's literally AMAZING!

It contains chamomile, aloe vera, and rose geranium.
It does smell of rose, but not to strong or overpowering and mixed with the other fragrances the moisturiser has a lovely unique scent.
I have dry skin, especially in the winter so am always on the look out for a decent moisturiser and while I've found some good ones I don't think I've ever found a 'best' item.

The past couple of weeks I've been using up a cleanser thats not suitable for my skin type and as a result had VERY dry skin. None of my usual 'go to' moisturisers have helped. I decided to give this ago and it sorted my skin out in record time! The smell was a little strange at first, strange in a good way though and I now think its one of the best smells ever haha.
This isn't just a good moisturiser, I've found it to be an amazing primer and now think my skin looks awful without it. I can't express how gutted I am it's empty! You might just say 'well buy another one' but its not that simple. I've put myself on a beauty spending ban so not allowing myself to buy any shower gels, cleansers, moisturisers etc until my stash has decreased by a considerable amount. I 100% plan to buy a full size bottle of day cream in the future. Hopefully I can last until I have one/two facial moisturisers left, however I miss it so much I might have to do a cheeky purchase before I reach that goal. Maybe I'll review around Easter time.....

Have you tried anything from Green People? I got a cleanser by them in this month's Feel Unique box so the bar is set pretty high for that to perform as well as the day cream. I'll let you know once I've tried it :)

Feel Unique Beauty Box January 2012

Hello!
Today I got home to a lovely little surprise - the January Feel Unique Beauty Box. I managed to open it and look through it all before I even had a dispatch email! Very impressed with the speedy delivery on this months box!

Once I had a chance to digest the information of the products I have to say I'm also pleased with the samples this month.

Yes there was more Dead Sea Spa Magik items (this time shower salt brushing sachets) but to be honest I don't mind.
My favourite item at the moment is the Green People gentle cleanse make-up remover & cleanser.

I haven't used any of these items yet, what with it being a brand new box and everything but I'm looking forward to trying them out.

If I'm honest I'm not too bothered by the conditioner or the body lotion as I have too many, but that's not feel uniques fault, its my own hoarding problem! oops!
The only item I'm a bit confused over is the Lierac Extreme age-defense firming care. Feel Unique is a company who asked you to set up a beauty profile before they sent out the beauty boxes, this included your age. At the time of signing up I was in the 19-24 age bracket. Granted I am now in the 25-34 category, but  only just(!), and I don't think I need anti-ageing products, especially since people always think I'm 15. To me it seemed a bit pointless that they asked my age to then include this, but whatever I'll give it to my mam or something.


Have you got this months Feel Unique box? What did you think?
