Mum To Be Pack | Emma's Diary

You recieve this pack in your first Emma's Diary pack small magazine, you had to fill out a form and take it to either Boots or Argos. I took mine to boots, you recieve this pack above which is full of information, samples and well pretty much advertising but for free you can't complain. 

When I first opened my pack I saw three trial sized samples. 

1. Always Discreet towels, you recieve two towels in this little pack with 50p off vouchers. 

2. A small Sachet of Bio-Oil to try out about 4ml of product. 

3. Bepanthen - stretch mark cream which is 4ml. 

There was a free graze box leaflet and a leaflet for The Baby Show also two £20 off Ocado shopping vouchers. 

There was also two different leaflets on baby products and information. 

I also received this Your Newborn Esstentials Pack from Johnsons baby which came inside of this mum to be selection pack. 

Inside this pack firstly I received a Johnsons baby guide to the first 10 days booklet. 

The next product I received was a full sized sample of Johnsons baby extra sensitive fragrance free baby wipes. 

The last products i recieve where these small sample sized products. Which where Johnsons baby oil which has 100ml of product, Johnsons baby nappy cream 16.5g of product and Johnsons baby top-to-toe bath which contains 50ml. It states in the booklet that comes in this pack that these can be used straight away on newborn babies, but I'd suggest you do your research on these products and on the chemicals used in these products before using these on newborn babies!! 

Thank you to Emma's Diary for this free pack which will help out mothers and parents to be. It's such a great and generous idea for these packs especially if you wouldn't purchase these items in a shop, you can trial them with the sample sizes to see how you get on with the products.

Elf unboxing Part 2. (Pictures)

To view part 1 of the unboxing click here

Here's the rest of the unboxing...

There is six more products to show you from the purchase that my friend brought me. 

First of all I have this 4 shadow eye pallet which is suppose to be an easy 4-step guide to perfect eye makeup, The shade that I have is Tantalizing Taupe in number 21623. The packaging is a nice elegant white simple style which I like a lot. You can see the front in the above photo and on the back it just has a little sticker telling you the product number, shade and another random code.

 I like that on the eyeshadows it has the word's base,lid,crease and line on them, I feel like it adds a good touch to the product. The only problem I have with that is the fact that once you've swatched or used the product the words disappear quickly. It comes with a cute mirror and applicator but I wont personally use them both but again its a nice touch. 

Here's the colours on my finger tips going in order from base to line. They have quite a bit of fall out so keep this in mind when purchasing. 

                                                   

These pictures show without flash(left) and with flash(right) I find when applied the middle two colours aren't very different but im curious to see how they turn out on the eyes. If anyone has this product let me know what its like in the comments below. As you can see above the first three colours are a shimmery shadow and the last one is a matt shadow these are to make a smokey eye, which im going to review this product to see how well it turns out. This product lasts up to 12 months once opened. You get 4g of product for around £3.95 I believe although it isn't currently available on the website as they are having a huge sale. 

I then got this lip stick...

 What I don't like about this product is that it comes in a huge package for a tiny little lipstick, what's that all about?

 This lipstick isn't big so it's great for makeup bags. This product is one of their moisturising lipsticks, which when applied does feel really light and creamy. It isn't to heavy on the lips which I love. You get 3.2g of product, but again it's currently sold out on their website. The number of this product is 82638. The shade for this product is ravishing rose which I believe it's a very mauve colour. On the back of the packaging it says "Enriched with Shea and Vitamins A, C & E to nourish and hydrate the lip". It's suppose to seal in moisture for long-lasting wear and comfort. We shall put that to the test! 

Once opened this product lasts up to 12 months. 

This is a swatch of the lipstick(above) and it's a lovely shade for my skin tone and for my lips. It's not really far off my natural lip shade either which I love because it's great for natural days. 

The next product is HD blush in the shade headliner.

You get 15ml of product but this product is not currently available on eyeslipsface.co.uk. The product number is 83231. The packaging is suitable for this product as it isn't bulky packaging like the lipsticks. It say's on the back "The Vitamin E enriched formula conditions and hydrates the skin for a healthy glow" which is great because I look for products which aren't going to be so harsh on my skin. You literally only need a small amount of this product as it goes a long way and it's best if you build this colour up other wise you can end up looking like a clown! It also says that this product has no animal testing! Which is great!

This product can last up to 6 months when it has been opened. 

This product is generally really small so you can easily store it in your makeup bag! It has a cute little pump but be careful not to push to hard as a small amount of this product goes a long way. 

Here is a swatch of this product and it's a lovely pink for the apples of your cheeks. It has slight shimmer in the product which I find goes perfect for spring and summer!

The last products that I got are nail polish's...

These are so cute, they are mini nail varnishes and they do different sets of colours. These are my favourite because they remind me of rasta colours, red, gold and green. The product number for this is 3810. Each nail varnish has 6 ml of product. The shade in this set are called Party Peach, Yellow and Teal Blue. This set is called Beautifully Bright Nail Polish Set. Again no animal testing and this product lasts 6 months after opening. 

This is what the products look like out of the box. 

After I checked out the products, I tested them all and unfortunately the Party Peach shade wasn't very spreadable almost like the product was like 5 years old. So I've had to throw away this product. 

Here is the swatches of the nail polishes above, The Teal Blue and Yellow ones are lovely colours and the Yellow one im going to be wearing throughout summer. The party peach one is the one on the right as you can see it's just horrible!

The last products are two more nail varnish's.

The nail varnish's are the bottom picture each one has 10 ml of product. I believe the peachy coloured one is called mango madness and the glitter top coat is called Gold Star. These are more beautiful nail polishes that I just adore! They are not currently on the website at the moment but im hoping they will get more soon!

HOLY GRAIL FOR DRY SKIN! /Review.

Dry Skin Problems!

Since I've been pregnant I've suffered with the worse dry skin and have had a lot of breakouts on my skin as well. I haven't really shopped around for any products on skin care because while pregnant I don't want to be chucking all sorts of products and chemicals on my skin so all I've been doing is applying coconut oil to my skin which has really encouraged my skin to get better but I still felt like I needed that little bit more for my skin care.

While I was in Boots (purchasing some floss for my boyfriend, haha) I was just checking out the isles like most do and I came across Garnier Cleansing Micellar Water, I had seen reviews on other blogs and on YouTube talking about this product which made it sound inviting to use. So I decided to purchase the smaller bottle just in case I didn't get on with it.  

Well this product literally has done my skin so much wonders that so I'm happy with it! My T-Section of my face was very dry and had a lot of flaky skin in the area and I had tiny breakouts all over the skin and I'm so happy I found this product because my dry skin has completely disappeared even if I go a day or two without applying it. The redness from my breakouts and gone and my breakouts are literally gone. I do realise that it is my hormones that have made my skin like this but I do believe that applying this product in the morning and just before I go to bed (also to take off makeup) with coconut oil on afterwards and my skin just feels so refreshed, it's like just after a facial with little effort. I also love the fact that is doesn't leave the face feeling greasy! I love it! 

If you suffer with the same problems or similar ones then go and purchase a small bottle of this to see how you get on with it! I will be definitely purchasing the bigger bottle of this! The small bottle of this product lasts for up to 6 months, im not sure if this is the same with the bigger bottle. 

I'd love to hear your thoughts and reviews on this product in the comments!
