Beauty Battle: Battle of the Face Scrubs!

Three face scrubs put to the test! Which one will come out on top?

Nivea Visage Young Smooth It! Mild Exfoliating Scrub - This scrub is designed for young skin. It contains small yellow and pink beads that exfoliate the skin well. My skin always feels smooth after using it.

Boots Vitamin E Gentle Exfoliating Face Wash. £2.03 - (I got this in an offer two products for €5) This is a face scrub with Vitamin E. The thing that really puts me off this product is too much comes out when you squeeze the bottle. I don't need the amount that comes out so it seems like a waste. It did exfoliate my skin but I wasn't 100% impressed with it.

Soap & Glory Face Soap and Clarity Foaming Face Wash £7.00. - (I got this in the big set at Christmas) This scrub is designed to clean, brighten and freshen skin. It also contains vitamin C. I love the texture of this scrub. It is a gel formula and smells lovely. I find it is not the best exfoliater in the world but it does leave my skin feeling really clean. It makes my skin feel tight though so I always put on a lot of moisturiser afterwards. I think it's a great cleanser but scrub wise not the best.

And the winner is...

It was the best by far at exfoliating my dry skin. It was also super cheap I think I only paid about €3 for it. What is your no.1 exfoliator?

Boots Haul

My lovely sister as part of my Christmas present got me a Boots voucher (I was delighted!). I went to the Boots in Stephen's Green thinking I would pick up half price Christmas sets. None of the sets however really stood out for me. Here is what I picked up instead.

The first items I picked up were the Boots Vitamin E Cleanser €4.49 and Vitamin E Night Cream €3.79. (There is a promotion on at the moment so I got the two for €5) I have dry skin so I'm hoping the vitamin E will help my skin! I will do a review in a few weeks and let you know how I get on.

I'm also nearly out of Umberto Giannini 'Back Comb in a Bottle' so I wanted to buy another. There was a promotion on  Umberto Giannini products in which you could get 3 for €14. This is brilliant as each bottle usually costs €8.29, so it now works out about €4.60 per product saving nearly €11! I have tried  Umberto Giannini products in the past (click here) and find they can be either really good or not great. I LOVE 'Backcomb in a Can' but I don't really like the volume shampoo or the salt spray. 

I still wanted to try out other products so while they were so cheap I picked up another bottle of 'Backcomb in a Can' and two products I have not tried before 'Umberto Giannini Glam Hair Morning After Dry Shampoo' and 'Umberto Giannini Glam Hair Massive mousse' I will let you know how I get on with the new products!

I still had one Euro left on the voucher so i picked up a bottle of Barry M nail polish (minus the Euro it was €3.50). I have only ever tried the Barry M crackle nail polish so I'm excited to see what this nail polish will be like! I picked up a gorgeous blue in the colour '294 Cyan Blue' 

Have you tried any of these products? Let me know what you think of them!
