Sugar Coated - Leg Hair Removal Kit

-

Sugar waxing has been on my radar for a while, but I have never been brave enough to try it (I'm a razor kinda girl) but when I saw the new products from Sugar Coated land at Love Lula I put my fears aside and ordered the Sugar Coated Leg Hair Removal Kit* (£9.99, 200ml)


Sugar Coated is a 100% natural vegan sugar wax. The exclusive formulation is made from pure sugar syrup and water. It does not contain any citric acid, resins or additives, which means the formula gives a smooth application and is gentle on the skin. Sugar Coated Legs Hair Removal Kit contains Rosehip essential oils which has amazing benefits so is ideal for your legs. Its incredible properties help keep your skin nourished and moisturised to achieve smooth, glowing legs. Sugar Coated wax is suitable for all skin and hair types. There is currently 5 different kits available to buy - Leg, Bikini, Underarm, Facial or Full Body.

The kit comes with 200g of sugar wax, 15 reusable strips and 3 spatulas (2 big, 1 small)

To Use:  Heat the jar in a microwave for 40 seconds. The jar then retains the heat so that you have plenty of ‘playtime’ to apply the product to the areas you wish. Then smooth the pliable paste onto skin using the spatula, and press the strips over the sugar, then whisk off the fabric strip to reveal ultra-smooth skin underneath.


My thoughts: The sugar wax and strips were easy to use and not messy, the wax is water-soluble which means you can wash and reuse the strips again and again. The first strip is always the worst as you never know how painful it will be to remove! To my surprise it wasn't as bad as I had made it out to be in my head, but it certainly wasn't pain free either. I was concerned the length of hair may not have been long enough for the wax to really grab on but sure enough the hairs were removed swiftly and cleanly from my leg. I did experience some redness afterwards but this disappeared quickly and I was then left with smooth skin. If you are a regular user of waxing then I would definitely recommend you give Sugar Coated a try, and if this will be your first time trying any form of wax then don't be afraid to give it a go like I did!

It has been ages since I've bought a Look Fantastic Beauty Box but after seeing some spoiler pictures on Facebook I decided to use my glossy credits to get this months box. Normally the box cost £15 including postage, with my glossy credits it took the price down a little to £9.35. The box this month is has a lovely white and blue design on top with a pinky purple base, which I will be keeping and reusing. It also comes with a copy of the latest Elle Magazine. From Rituals is Cherry Blossom & Rice Milk Soothing Hand Balm  70ml (£9.50)- a lovely floral lotion made with Shea Butter and Organic Rice Milk, the lotion replenishes and rejuvenates hands. Rituals are always a welcome brand I enjoy getting in boxes. Eos Lip Balm  7g (£6.50) in Strawberry Sorbet - Not actually a brand I've used before, but a handy balm to have in the makeup bag. Probably not something I would take out and about with me as I find the shape awkward for travel, I prefer small stick balms. This ba

Great weather calls for great sun protection with Alteya Orgaincs

I'm loving the great weather we've been having so far this week....has summer finally arrived!? With temperatures up to 30 degrees in Scotland and soaring up to 38 in parts of England by Thursday, sun protection is a MUST if you are planning to leave your house even if all you do is sit in your garden. Really you should be using an SPF product daily regardless of the weather...yes even if its raining! As an outdoor worker (postwoman) a good SPF is top of my list all year round but especially at this time of year! Alteya Organics Whole Body Sunscreen * (£13.40 for 90ml) is enriched with emollient botanical butters and oils to hydrate the skin and protect against damaging UVA and UVB sun rays which cause sunburn and premature aging. So what is SPF and why do we need it? SPF or sun protection factor measures the level of protection a product will give you and how much longer it will take your skin to burn when wearing sunscreen vs not wearing sunscreen.

My skin is quite prone to spots and blemishes so I really wanted to find a product that would help to control breakouts and reduce the redness I have. I've used Sukin products before but never knew they had a blemish control range until recently. The  Sukin Blemish Control Kit * (£19.95) contains 4 products to help calm and clear the skin, three are 50ml and one is 15ml so decent sized samples, and handy for travelling with. Clearing Facial Wash purifies the skin while removing dirt and impurities with Quince and Pomegranate. Pore Perfecting Toner refines and refreshes the skin with Eucalyptus, Tea Tree and Mint. Spot Banishing Gel helps to fight breakouts with Willowherb, Salicylic Acid and Eculyptus, while the  Oil Free Moisturiser clarifies and balances the skin with Willowherb, Quince and Moringa. Willowherb is said to fight the causes of blemishes in just 30 minutes! And while I didn't see a huge improvement that quickly, I did notice a big difference withi
