CRUELTY-FREE Yes.
VEGAN Yes.
PRICE £5 each, or a pack of five for £19. Then of course postage if you live in the UK.
SCENT A little plastic-y, but inoffensive and other than that they are scentless.

PRODUCT These are a beautiful bright green colour and you get one set of eye strips in each pack. The masks are made of aloe water and plant cellulose and come swimming in a clear liquid which contains lots of clean and certified organic ingredients (see below for those that are and aren't).
INGREDIENTS Organic Aloe Juice, Organic Matcha Green Tea, Organic Green Coffee, Organic Yerba Mate Tea, Cucumber Hydrosol, Vitamin C, Caffeine, Hylauronic Acid, Plant Cellulose.
HOW TO USE On clean dry skin, pop these under your eyes (very complicated procedure, see pictures below for assistance). They adhere nicely to the skin but change in shape and become thinner as time goes on as the ingredients sink into the skin. Leave them on for as long as you see fit (usually 20 mins) and then finish with the rest of your routine - eye cream or make up or both. Can be used daily.
RESULTS These reduce the puffiness, but I don't see them reduce discolouration. I'm not sure if it's the cooling action that eliminates eye bags and whether a cool cloth would do the exact same thing, but they are really quite fun to use and seem to do a good job! Would make a perfect little present or stocking filler.
So there you have it. I'm not going to lie and say they are a magical cure to tired eyes, but they definitely make a little difference as you can hopefully see by the pictures.
Have you tried these out? What did you think of them? Lemme know!
(N.B. I always have to pay customs when I order from the US based brand as I'm based in the UK. It's usually about £11 no matter what I purchase. Please bare this in mind before making an order!)

Itchy scalp. It's not exactly the nicest topic of conversation, but hey, it's a fact of life for many of us. I've mentioned before that my scalp is super sensitive and can be aggravated really easily by certain fragrances and that last year was a real struggle trying to find hair products that wouldn't have me itching my head like crazy. Luckily for me, this Trichology range by Superdrug came to the rescue. And so, like an olympian passing on the torch, I am here to pass on my thoughts on this scalp-soothing range unto you :)
BRAND Superdrug own-brand.
CRUELTY-FREE Yes. All Superdrug own-brand products are Leaping Bunny certified, and clearly labelled if they are vegan or vegetarian. Amazing.
VEGAN Yes.
PACKAGING Kinda standard, but sturdy packages.
PRICE Very affordable. The shampoo, conditioner and dry shampoo are all £3.99 each and are often on special offer/half off. Also, the dry shampoo frequently comes free with the other two (but otherwise is £3.99). There is also a hair tonic in the range, which I haven't yet tried.
SCENT OK so it's here that I think some people may be turned off from the range. They all have a similar scent that smells a little medicinal and it lingers on the hair after it's been washed off. I don't mind the smell at all however. They describe it as being lime scented, if that gives you an idea.

PROS Really healed my achin' scalp. We have a laugh and a joke, but in reality an irritated scalp can be really really raw and uncomfortable, and I was not having a great time. Using the shampoo & conditioner together was so soothing and calming and actually healed my scalp after about four uses, which I wasn't expecting. This means I can now use other (gentle) products and don't react badly to them. I would highly highly recommend this range if you too are suffering a little with an itchy head. I will definitely repurchase these time & time again to ensure I have ammo in my arsenal for future disasters. I don't think I was massively suffering with dandruff so I can't really vouch for whether it helps with dandruff, but the reviews on the site praise it for doing so. All round, it's a yes from me - and if you have a dry scalp, it should be a yes from you too.
CONS Maybe the scent for some people, but as I say, for me it's not a big deal and I've had friends smell it to get their opinion and they agree it is not a bad scent at all.

If you've watched my channel before, you may know that I am a Crazy Rumours lip balm fangirl through & through. I freaking LOVE those balms. But variety is the spice of life, or so they say, so I decided to try out these balms by Hurraw. Here is my two cents on the two scents Vanilla and Cherry.

I've mentioned this Etsy brand before in my Etsy haul in which I picked up their tea fragrances in a sample set. Once the four samples ran out, it was this one that I knew I had to get a full size of. It's called Vanilla Rooibos Tea and it's pretty brilliant. And I'm here to tell you why.
