Avene Thermal Spring Water -Review

Avène Thermal Spring Water claims to soothes, softens and calms skin. When skin feels dry, tight or warm spray on for hydration. This was defiantly my favourite thing to carry in my bag during 2013, especially during the summer. Even in the weather is hot, the water mists out at a cooling temperature, which was great during holidays and hot weather to fresh skin and cool down your body and face. I also found it good for spraying after makeup removal which can sometimes irritate skin depending on how much make-up was worn throughout the day. 

Laura Mercier Body Crème and Scrub - Review

I recently picked up this gift set from the Laura Mercier counter in Brown Thomas, Dublin. It was part of their Christmas sets, and I've heard Tanya Burr mention these many times throughout her videos. The body cream is aimed to moisturise your skin without being too heavy and greasy. The scrub claims to gently exfoliate your skin whist also protecting and naturally conditioning the skin. Although these are pricey to buy and quite high end` (I got a good deal being a Christmas set) they are most defiantly worth it. This will be a product that I will use sparely until empty and re-purchase.

There are 5 scents to the collection of creams and scrubs which are:

          - Ambre Vanille

                      -Almond Coconut Milk

        -Creme Brûlée

-Fresh Fig

               -Creme de Pistache

I choose my body cream in Almond Coconut Milk, which has a strong long lasting scent when used, even hours later which every body cream should do! It's the first cream that has lasted on my skin also, without feeling like my skin is greasy as it absorbs fast.

The texture as you can see is very thick, but also creamy and soaks into the skin fast.

I choose my scrub in the Vanilla scent, Ambre Vanille, which is sweet smelling. The exfoliating beads and small and are crushed vanilla seeds which are gentle on the skin leaving it silky smooth. The scent like the cream, also lingers on your skin which is nice and refreshing to smell during the day as it is long-lasting. 

Each jar contains 150ml / 6OZ of product which is a generous size, especially to try out! I defiantly recommending if you have been questioning whether to splurge and go for one of these that they are worth the price as the quality of the products are very high and my favourite thing is the long lasting scent that is left on your skin hours after applying.
