Getting my 'glow' on with Pixi

If you are like me, you love it when you discover a product that really excites you & more importantly works....

As usual, I've been pretty late with trying out the Pixi Glow Tonic (everyone seems to have tried it before me!); not that I've not wanted to, I have. But, I was just a bit cautious of trying out something new on my skin incase I didn't like it.  So, when I found out Marks & Spencer sold travel sizes, I just had to try it!  I mean, first of all, who doesn't love cute travel size packaging anyway?!

Ok, the lowdown first...

The Pixi Glow Tonic is an exfoliating toner with 5% glycolic acid, aloe vera & ginseng.  It says on the bottle that it evens out your skintone; brightens & clears your complexion & exfoliates to remove skin cells to reveal healthy glowing skin.

It also advises you to use both morning & evening all over your face & neck but avoiding your eye area.

Now, onto my personal review...

As I said before, I like products that excite me & work.  The Pixi Glow Tonic does not disappoint! 

In fact, WOW!

I have never tried a product that is SO amazing & works from the very first time I have used it!

I was so shocked after I had briefly swept a cotton pad across my face & found so much grime come off my skin when I thought I had adequately cleansed (Yuk!)!  Afterwards, my skin felt tingly clean & the texture felt wonderful.  

I have noticed a difference in my skin already & I'm so pleased with the result.

I honestly cannot rave about this product enough.  I will definitely be purchasing the larger version!

The packaging is very neat & sleek.  The pale green lid & label looks slightly retro in a way but looks good on your bathroom shelf.

So, all in all, if you are late or hesitant in picking up the Glow Tonic, please do so!  It really is outstanding!

Well done Pixi!

My Winter Essential: Keeping my feet cosy courtesy of Marks & Spencer!

It's that time of year when all you want is to keep cosy & warm!  And yes, it is winter, so what is pretty essential in your winter wardrobe?  Yep, boots! 

Now, I do already own long boots, but it was a pair of ankle boots that I was after. 

I am quite tall, (hovering between 5'7" & 5'8") so I don't really need any help in the height department & I must admit, me walking in heels is all very ridiculous, so sensible flats were the order of the day!

So, on a recent shopping trip to Marks & Spencer, I spied some gorgeous black biker style boots.  I found that they also do them in a lovely taupe colour but I thought black would be best as they would go with everything.  

I tried them on.  They fitted like a dream! 

The boots have a lovely fur-like trim inside the ankle to make them extra snuggly & so they are really comfy they have something called Insolia Flex which is endorsed by the UK college of Podiatrists to insure comfort & correct positioning of your feet.  

And... at only £29.50, they were a great price point too! 

They seem to go with every outfit - I think they will be welded to my feet throughout winter! 

Perfect! 

Now, about that taupe pair.......!

What's your winter essential?  I'd love to know!
