Review - Sure Maximum Protection






What Sure say:




'Designed to be the most effective antiperspirant from Sure, you can rely on Maximum Protection's clinically proven formula for constant protection against excessive sweating. Whether it's heat, stress or life making you perspire, Sure Maximum Protection antiperspirant will keep you fresh whatever the day brings.'


What I Think:


Sure Maximum Protection claims to have 48 hours of under arm protection. You are supposed to apply this at night before you go to bed and then it should last you all day.But I have to say it does last all day with no under arm wetness or odour. I thought the application was odd at first so just applied it as I normally do after I've had my morning shower. But I tested it by applying it at night and then not applying after my shower and it seemed to work still. 



The deodorant itself is in cream form, so you twist the bottom until the cream comes through the holes at the top. The instructions say to use the roll on at night, and it promised to work throughout the day, even after showering. I would 100% buy this product again despite what I would call a hefty price tag for a deodorant, but it does work incredibly well and will be perfect for the summer.

Lidl - Cien Suncream Review


Cien Suncream 50spf


I know a lot of people that won’t shop in Lidl or Aldi because they believe that cheap prices equals cheap quality. Which is not true in every case. You can get awesome products in Lidl you just need to look for them.


I have  never used Lidl suncream before I used to always spend, loads of money even up to €18/19 this product is definitely excellent value for money. They may take a bit more elbow grease to rub in but for the price I do not mind putting in a little bit of effort. It does go on a little sticky and you will have to wash your hands or use a wet wipe after you use it, but for only €5.00 I think its a minor thing. Gives you great protection in the sun and will help you not to get burned and develop sun spots.

I highly recommend you check out Lidl’s suncare offering. They come with SPF and UVA/UVB protection [Sun Protection Factor (SPF)) refers to how long you can stay in the sun without getting burned so the higher the factor, the longer you can remain exposed without burning.  The UVA screen protects against the aging and carcinogenic rays of the sun, whereas the UVB screen acts against burning] so Cien gives you an effective two-pronged protection system. I’ve listed prices for you below.

Cien Sun Cream for Kids SPF 50 100ml €3.99
Cien Sun Cream SPF 10/20 assorted 100ml €2.99
Cien Sun Cream Anti-Aging/Sport  SPF 25 100ml €3.99
Cien Sun transparent Sun Spray SPF 20 250ml €4.99
Cien Sun Lotion SPF 30 €3.99
Cien Sun Lotion for Kids SPF 30 €3.99
Cien Sun Milk SPF 10 500ml €4.99
Cien After Sun Lotion 500ml €3.99

Pros
  • Keeps you protected
  • €5.00
  • Loads of options (eg. kids,aftersun etc)
  • Great value
  • Easily accessible 

Cons
  • A bit sticky


To buy or not to buy?
Yes, go buy - Its super cheap and great value for your money. So you’ve no excuse to not protect your skin for those prices! 9/10

Essence Nail Polish Color and Go - Review







So today's review is about Essence Nail Polish Color and Go collection, now first off I don't wear nail polish that often as I bit my nails alot so there not that long, but from the few that I have tired from this line have not been good. There are many bad points that I will go over. But the only good point I can think of is that they do have alot of really nice colors in the collection. So now for the bad, First off the first coat you apply comes out kinda transparent which you would expect from a polish that is only like €2.00, but then you go along and print over that and it looks good for like a day not even a day and it has chips and ruins really easy when drying and no I don't think the dry fast like the bottle says. I used some of my sisters top coat by Sally Hansen and it still chipped off, so top coat is no good here either.



Packaging: These polishes come in tiny little glass bottles and have caps that follow the colour of the nail polish. Very cute and tiny

Application/Texture/Consistency: The polishes are a dream to apply. They glide on easily on the nails without being streaky. Both textures are not too runny nor too gloopy and thick.The require two/three coats to give an opaque finish. 

Durability: Both polishes lasted about 1 day with a top coat before chipping noticeably. 






Price: At €2.00 each


Would I repurchase?Nope, its just not worth even spending €2.00 on them, they chip way to easy - 3/10

Where can I purchase these?- Boots, Penneys
