Boots No7 Beautiful Skin Review


Recently i got to try a product i always wanted to try, but for some reason never did, Boots No7 Beautiful Skin Night Cream and Cleansing lotion. I have heard a lot of hype about this brand and was really starting to wonder if these products were just all hype or really just that worth it. I learned they really are worth it!

I have always cleaned my face with facial scrubs, makeup remover towelettes and sometimes just soap. I always found these to get the job done. I never really thought of using lotion to clean my skin (though as a kid my grandmother always told me to use cold cream). After applying this product to my skin i understood what my grandmother had been suggesting. Using this lotion to cleanse makeup off your face is so gentle so soft, so moisturizing, and so easy without the worry of splashing water everywhere or worrying about getting soap in my eye. I rubbed this over my whole face and gently on my eye lids and mascara area. I then used a dry cotton ball to remove and all my makeup was gone and my face felt clean. I wont lie, i did then use soap in the shower, but i did feel it was as abrasive on my skin.

After my showers, i usually apply various toners, anti-wrinkle creams, eye creams, serums, and moisturizers. I applied everything as i normally do but as a last step i choose Boots No7 Beautiful Skin Night Cream and i didn't have to apply my toner or my serum. I felt that, even though this product has somewhat of a thin consistency, i was able to really feel it adhering to my skin. I felt my skin becoming softer and i felt it being slightly damp. Not wet or uncomfortable, somewhat like after a shower and you dry your face but it still feels moist, like that. When i woke up in the morning i felt my face as very soft. I felt like i didn't even have to use a  makeup base or BB cream (and i didn't!). It was nice to have a more natural looking face due to one simple step the night before. That really does save some time in the morning.

Some additional information:
Cleanser-
-Comes in two different types - Normal/Dry and Dry/Very dry. I have combination skin and i liked the Normal/dry.
-The Cleansing Lotion eliminates the need for you to use a toner (more time saved in the morning!)
 and removes all makeup and traces of dirt.
-Contains Glycerin to leave skin feeling soft and refreshed.
-Effective way to clean away dirt without removing natural and beneficial skin lipids.

Night Cream-
- Comes in two different types- Normal/Dry and Dry/Very Dry. I have combination skin and i liked the Normal/Dry.
-Eliminates the need to use toner. (more timed saved in the morning or night)




-Includes Cocoa butter, Glycerin and Shea Butter to energize and promote optimum hydration.

- Works with your skin not against it like some moisturizers. It replaces the moisture your skin has lost and you are left only with healthy and radiant skin, no layer of film like some moisturizers.

Infulenster Beauty Blogger Vox box 2012

I think i gasped in joy when i received the email letting me know that i was chosen to participate in the Infuenster Beauty Blogger Vox Box. Blogging about beauty products is a passion, a joy, and rewarding. I love trying products, whether i love them or hate them, and then sharing my experiences, swatches, and reviews with you.

The Beauty Blogger Vox Box, my third box from Influenster, has all the essential beauty products that perfect for fall. When i say all, i mean ALL. So read on to discover what products you should be on the look out for!

Disclaimer i received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing and reviewing purposes. All opinions on these products are my own honest opinions.

NYC New York Color IndividualEyes Custom Compact in Dark Shadows-
I love this compact. As you may have seen in one of my past posts (click here!), i am absolutely in love with these. NYC New York Color has really outdone themselves once more.This all in one compact really is everything you need for the perfect eye look. First apply the eye primer to the lid and the illuminator to under your brow. Apply the second shade for your lid color, the third for your crease, the first for your brow and use the last to define the outer corner and use as a liner! Put on some mascara and you are done! The shades are highly pigmented so your smokey look will really stand out. There is a little bit of fall out with the third shade so have a fan brush or a small makeup sponge handy to brush away the fall out. It is the only shade that was a little too soft. There are directions on the back so you can do it as i have mentioned, as the back shows, or make your own unique look! I love how coordinated this set is and each color compliments the others. This is a drugstore must have, and at $4.99 you really can pick them all up! I will be posting a tutorial on how to make a complete eye look within a few days!

Bath and Body Works Mini Candles-
Do you love the smell of fall? If you do these are perfect for your house. Not only do they look adorable and are the smaller versions of the larger three wick candles, but they are highly aromatic. I received White Barn nut meg and spices. I smelled it as i was opening the box and thought for a moment, did influenster send me a baked good? Once i saw it was a candle i was shocked! It wasn't an over powering or unpleasant scent it was strong but in a really good way. Once i lit it my entire house (apartment, but it is pretty big) was filled with the warm smell of this spicy fall favorite. It smelled as if i had been cooking gingerbread cookies, or was making a delicious spiced pumpkin pie! (But more the spice of it not the pumpkin smell). These are a must have home decor item for fall. Stock up at Bath and Body works for $3.50 for the mini's and $20 for the large three wick candles.

EBOOST-
So now that your eyes are did and your house smells fantastic about about some inner beauty help. This effervescent powder boosts mood, focus, and immunity with natural ingredients. There is no crash and a delicious orange taste (other flavors are available) just add to water and you are ready to start your day healthy! This is great for fall/winter months when the cold bug is literally everywhere. No one looks sexy with a runny nose, so have these handy!
You can pick up a box of 20 for $28 or 30 for $39 or even 12 shots for $39. Flavors available are Orange, Pink Lemonade, Acai Pomegranate, and even Super Berry. With so many choices you cant go wrong!



Goody Simple Styles Spin Pin (Available in different hair shades)
I already owned these before Influenster sent them to me so i have had a little bit of experiences with them. When i first got them i was skeptical over how well they would work. They claim to have the staying power of 20 separate pins. So i placed my hair up into a simple warped bun, twisted one spin pin through the bottom and one through and it staid! I used them all summer! Now that fall is here this easy Spin Pin's are the perfect way to achieve simple a sleek bun. With all the wind who wants their hair being messed up? Using a spin Pin will keep your hair in place through any whether and will last all day. You can do one bun on top or side of your head along with a messy low bun. Even two smaller buns using one Spin Pin each for an elegant undo that looks like it took forever to do. 60 seconds and your done.
You can find these at drugstores for $7.29 (at Duane Read they are $9.99)

Not Your Mothers Kinky Moves Curl Defining Hair Cream-
I am still scratching my head over this one. If influenster is always looking at what their member do like their videos and what not, wouldn't they know i have straight hair that is minimally wavy? I mean its super long there is no missing it! I wrote to Not Your Mother on Facebook asking for how to use this product on straight hair and there is no use. I read that it can help to eliminate frizz and fly-ways. So i figured maybe that would help me with those problems but it simply made me look like i put grease in my hair. I hope this works better on the people that it is intended for.
You can find the full size in stores like CVS for about $6.00

Boots No. 7 Beautiful Skin in Night Cream and Cleansing Lotion-
The night cream, suitable for normal to dry skin, is a great facial cream. I used this product before i went to bead and my face felt soft an moisturized when i woke up. The cleansing lotion felt great in the morning. It eliminated my need to use toners which was nice. My medicine cabinet is stacked with products and it was nice to have a product that eliminated another while still moisturizing my face. These products are hypo-allergenic and together made me feel like i had a soft and smooth face. I wore it under my regular BB cream and even when i removed my daily makeup my face was still soft (never oily). I have an oily T zone and this did not exacerbate the problem which was nice!
