Soap & Glory Fab Pore Review

So, I thought I would do a little review of a product that I'm really loving at the moment- Soap & Glory's Fab Pore Facial Peel. It was a gift at Christmas that I found in my stocking :)

The description on the website explains,

"The Fab Pore has an intensive pore refining action with out exclusive PORESHRINK-R COMPLEX. Ideal for greasy, spot prone or problem skin, or for a strategic attack on a misbehaving T-zone."

You take a small dollop and rub in circles till the little green beads disappear, leave on for 5 minutes for a quick cleanse or 15 minutes for a deep clean, then rinse off!

The obligatory photo of me covered in face mask wonderfulness!

My skin felt pretty gross horrible to me after a long week of wearing makeup and some late nights, but I had beautiful skin after 15 mins!

I really love this face mask, I've always felt like the pores on my nose and chin get clogged up easily so I was really interested to see how it tackled this problem and I wasn't disappointed! My pores were left really clean and clear and my skin was super soft! I left it on for the full fifteen minutes as I had time to spare, but in the week when I'm a bit more strapped for time I'd deffo go for the 5 minute quicky! And how can you not love the retro stylings of their products?!

I cannot recommend this product enough, so here's the Soap&Glory website and you can buy it for £8.00 from all good chemists, like Boots!

Review- Impress Press-on Manicure

On Monday I decided to try out the Impress Press-on Manicure I got in February's Glossybox and see how good they were and how long they lasted! Well what can I saw by this morning I had pulled the remaining ones off my fingernails in disappointment. I'll give you a little timeline of how things went down:

Monday

8pm- Nails stuck on.

12am- My pointing finger nail on both hands fall off after I have washed my hands and then attempted to pull my socks off. I stuck them back on just about.

Tuesday

9am- Leaving the flat and I notice my right pointing finger nail has fallen off never to be seen again!
3.30pm- Left pointing finger nail falls off while at work (luckily I'm not serving anyone food!)
4.30pm- I have pulled off both thumb nails as they were starting to unstick and annoy me!

8pm- Right middle finger nail has fallen off after eating dinner (maybe due to finger getting fatter after huge din dins?!)

Wednesday


10am- Pull off remaining nails as I look completely ridiculous with only 5 intact nails.


So you can see these nails didn't "last up to 7 days" as stated (surprise surprise!) and did not "impress" me at all (haha! Sorry for that terrible pun, I couldn't resist!). There are some good points though- the nails are really shiny and come in lots of colours. So I guess they would be good for a night out or would last longer for someone who isn't as fiddly as me, as soon as I saw the nail coming up a bit I would pick it until to fell off! Oh and someone who doesn't do too much washing up...

Not a very good review (Sorry Impress Press-on Manicure! I really wanted you to work too!) I think I'm more of a bog-standard nail varnish girl, so I'm going to paint them bright orange tonight :D
