Alpha-H Absolute Lip Perfector Nude Blush

 A great lip balm should be the staple of every handbag and they don’t get much better than Alpha-H‘s new Absolute Lip Perfector in a beautiful new shade, Nude Blush.

This deeply nourishing, plumping, tinted lip balm offers long lasting, silky soft, full lips while the universally flattering nude tone adds a fresh and flirty element.

Housed within a sleek, chic and compact nude coloured tube, its simplistic form betrays the complex combination of caring ingredients within.

 

This beautiful tube of lip-loving joy is actually more of a serum/balm, meaning it is silky soft in texture like a serum but with all the superior nourishing qualities of a thick balm.

Infused with anti-inflammatory peppermint and wild mint, the balm offers a deliciously refreshing and cooling effect when applied to your lips.

Honeycomb extract locks in moisture to nourish and condition, while its emollient qualities create a barrier to keep external aggressors (such as bracing cold weather or central heating) at bay.

The balm contains a blend of super micronized hyaluronic acid which allows the tiny microns to penetrate deeper into your skin where they swell to increase lip volume while adding longer lasting hydration.

Collagen boosting Tripeptide-1 seeks to plump and redefine your lips while also minimising the appearance of fine vertical lines to reduce the signs of ageing and keep your lip contours firmer and more supple.

 Zinc Oxide aids in repairing dry, damaged lips by reducing irritation and inflammation plus it is SLS, Silicon and Paraben free.

This is so much more than just your run-of-the-mill lip balm, this is skincare for your lips.

Alpha-H Absolute Lip Perfector Nude Blush is available now and costs £19.99.

QVC TSV: Alpha-H Three Piece Liquid Gold Complexion Renewal Trilogy

I’m a big fan of the brand Alpha-H and was very excited to see their upcoming QVC TSV on February 10^th.

Meet the Alpha-H three piece liquid gold complexion renewal trilogy. 

This fab trio combines nature and science with state of the art peptides and next generation fruit acids to resurface, refine and renew the appearance of your skin.

What’s even more special about this TSV is that it includes Alpha-H ‘s brand new product, their Liquid Gold Firming Eye Cream!

So, the collection comprises of their Balancing Cleanser, Liquid Gold Supersize and Liquid Gold Firming Eye Cream.

Their balancing cleanser is perfect for skin like mine, which can’t decide what it’s doing. One day it’s oily, the next it’s dry and sensitive. Who knows what it’ll be tomorrow!

Gentle enough for sensitive skin yet highly effective at removing even waterproof eye make-up, this creamy cleansing lotion contains aloe vera and Vitamin E to calm and soothe irritated skin while working to thoroughly cleanse and tone your skin.

Massage onto your face before adding a few drops of water to create a creamy emulsion before rinsing off with warm water to leave your skin feeling clean, soft, nourished and looking beautiful.

I’m not entirely sure why but I expected this cleanser to leave my skin feeling a little tight or parched, but I was pleasantly surprised to note that it felt neither of these things!

Up next is the iconic Liquid Gold, but not as you know it! Supersized and featuring a snazzy new look bottle this hero lotion has been clinically proven to reduce wrinkle depth, reduce skin roughness and improve your skins moisture content.

This multi award winning resurfacing treatment contains 5% glycolic acid and uses a state of the art delivery system to lower your skin's pH from 5.5 to about 3 which stimulates cellular activity. 

This in turn helps to accelerate the skins repair and renewal processes, radically improving the texture and appearance of your complexion.It may sound quite intense but it’s nothing to be nervous of!

You need to acclimatise your skin to the fluid (to minimise any redness that can occur) so to begin with it’s recommended that you use it on a dampened cotton wool pad at night time after cleansing, once a week for several weeks before gradually building up to 3 neat applications per week.

When I first applied it I did experience a little tingling on my skin which caused me to immediately panic, however a little tingling is actually quite normal.

For best results you are supposed to forgo your night cream or serums and allow the Liquid Gold to work its magic overnight, which is exactly what I did.

Several weeks in I can confirm that my skin is looking brighter, more radiant and my regular stress induced breakouts have become far less severe. It’s easy to see why this is such a cult product!

Lastly but by no means least is their brand spanking new Firming Eye Cream.

Packaged in a cute, delightful little tube with gold cooling applicator tip this powerful and advanced little lovely works to combat wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and skin roughness with its quadruple peptide technology.

It contains next generation Lime Pearl AHA’s (found in the rainforests on the Australian East Coast), multiple skin brighteners and illuminating diamond particles which help to create the ultimate soft focus ‘photo finish’.Lightweight yet rich and hydrating, this scent free cream immediately drenches the eye area in moisture, making you feel awake and less tired.

It is absorbed quickly and leaves the most perfect, flawless base for your concealer.

I’ve only been using this for a short period of time so the jurys out on its ability to lessen the appearance of wrinkles etc however in an independent clinical study it was recorded that 92% of participants saw an improvement in their skins smoothness, 88% saw an improvement in fine lines and wrinkles and 88% reported and improvement in their skins elasticity and firmness.

Impressive stats eh!

If you were to buy this trio separately they would cost you a pretty penny. A regular sized bottle of Liquid Gold will cost you £33.50 and the eye cream alone will set you back £49 however on QVC on Saturday February 10^th you will be able to grab yourself a real bargain.

I can’t reveal the exact price but I do know that this collection will be on sale for under £40. 

Under £40 for all three products. 

Bonkers!

If you simply can’t wait to tune in until the 10^th then fear not.Click on the below link after 10am today (Thursday 8^th February 2018) to gain online pre-sale access this absolute bargain.

Man, there’s little in life that I get excited about as much as fabulous QVC TSV!

QVC Tili Beauty Box

Have you heard of Tili?

Tili is QVC’s very own beauty box and is literally filled to burst with carefully selected, must have products from many of the brands featured on the channel.

Tili, which stands for ‘Try it, Love it’ features a range of new launches and cult classics every month for just £20 with no ongoing subscription required, so you’re not tied in!

I’ve always loved the concept of a beauty box as a way to try products and discover new brands without having to splash out on full size items, but many boxes left me disappointed at the size of their samples, the range of brands and the diversity of the products.

Not so with Tili.

Just take a look at what this not-so-little box has to offer this month in its 4^th edition!

Available from May 17^th online at QVCUK.COM it is packed with a fantastic range of products and brands, some which I’m familiar with, others that I’m not.

In this edition you’ll find;

Alpha H Liquid Gold Rose 50ml

New just this month is Liquid Gold Rose, the limited edition of its global best seller. Drawing on the classic formulation this edition features newly added richly aromatic botanicals, antioxidants, minerals and clinically proven moisture boosters - including rose, lotus and orchid petal. Combined with Glycolic Acid and Liquid Gold’s world-renowned low pH delivery system, it instantly stimulates the skin’s cellular metabolism, while the uniquely soothing and moisture boosting effects elevate skin resurfacing.

Erno Lazlo Cleansing oil 15ml and Face Bar 17g

A favourite brand of my hero, Marilyn Monroe comes Erno Lazlos’s Cleansing Oil. This rich cleansing oil penetrates pores to dissolve trapped oils, impurities and make up while the cleansing bar creates a conditioning barrier to thoroughly cleanse your skin leaving it feeling soft and beautiful. Hey, if its good enough for Marilyn its good enough for me!

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara 3g

If the name didn’t give it away, this cult mascara is a ‘Roller for lashes’, featuring an eye opening Hook ‘n’ Roll brush which grabs, separates, lifts and curls your lashes. The long lasting formula sets your curvy lashes for an impressive 12 hours, leaving you with stunning lashes. Better still, the formula contains Provitamin B5 and Serin, ingredients known for their lash conditioning benefits. Result. I adore the shape of this brush which really does give your lashes a great curve, while the bristles separate your lashes, ensuring you don’t get any of those horrible clumpy spider lashes.

Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish 30ml

Radiant skin is just a cleanse away with this multi award winning cleanser. Enriched with cocoa butter to soften, smoothe and moisturise and rosemary, chamomile and eucalyptus to tone, soothe and purify this rich cream deeply cleanses your skin, can remove even waterproof mascara and leaves your skin feeling soft and hydrated.

It takes seconds to effortlessly sweep onto your nails, is quick drying and beautifully pigmented which means no streaks. 1 of 8 colour varients will appear in your box.

Vita Liberata 10 Minute Tan 20ml

I’m rubbish at fake tanning and while I’ve not tried it myself it’s the brand that I always hear great things about. This rapid performing lotion allows you to shower just 10 mins after application and leaves you with a natural, golden tan within 4-6 hours with no risk of colour transfer. Sounds like this could be my kind of tan!

I think you’ll agree that this is a really well thought out box.

It contains a brilliant array of products that are perfect for spring and summer and literally covers something from each beauty department; skincare, haircare, makeup, bath and body and nails.

The samples are decent sizes which allow you to have a proper play around with the products and the box is just £20.
