Gorgias London Transformation Facial Oil

Gorgias London Transformation Facial Oil * (£29.95, 28ml) The Complete Night Repair Facial Oil is a rare blend of grape seed, amaranth and avocado oil. This 100% natural, cold pressed oil provides the skin with complete nutrition and hydration, while decreasing acne flare-up and slowing the signs of ageing. Key ingredients: Grape Seed Oil locks in moisture, Argan Oil controls skins oil production and Macadamia Oil fights wrinkles. To Use: Best used at night. Use the dropper provided to apply 1-2 drops to cleansed skin, apply in circular motions.

I dont often do makeup reviews as despite owning A LOT of makeup I don't really wear much on a day to day basis. Seeing as it was Valentine's Day on Friday I thought I would do a quick simple makeup look using some Madara products I picked up this month from Love Lula.

I then used my 25% discount code from last months beauty box to pick up a Luminous Perfecting Concealer (4ml, £20) also a tube with foam applicator and Brow Pomade (5g, £20) which comes in a pot with twist off lid. All the products come inside grey boxes with details of each product on the box.
