Dolce Dreams Coconut Macaroon Body Scrub

Most people will have heard of Fake Bake and associate it with fake tan, but there is more to the brand than just that. Dolce Dreams is part of the Fake Bake Beauty at Home range where you will find Skincare, Make Up, Bath and Body, Gifts and Home. Dolce Dreams is described as being the home of decadent treats and with products called Bon Bon Body Fizz, Lemon Meringue Body Whip and Coconut Macaroon Body Scrub.  As a company synonymous with fake tanning, ensuring that your bosy is scrubbed, buffed and polished is obviously important, so what better way than to invent their own products to do just that.

I have just finished by tub of Dolce Dreams Coconut Macaroon Body Scrub and it is just divine, more so if you happen to love both coconut and macaroons. Scented with coconut and blended with natural sugar, this scrub smells deliciously sweet and with the use of natural sugar, it has quite a rough texture to it which makes it really effective at exfoliating and buffing the skin to remove, dead, dry and rough skin and with a a bit of pressure when using, it really does help remove the toughest of dry skin, such as that on your heels, elbows and for me, my shins.

Once you have showered or bathed, whichever is your preference, you should find that your skin is looking and feeling amazing.  Soft and smooth to the touch, moisturised and looking much brighter than it was.  Of course, if you are a fake tan fan, you should then have no trouble applying it, because there is no dry skin for it to stick too.  Even if you dont fake tan, the scent of the scrub on your skin afterwards is simply divine especially if like me, you love all things coconut, though there is a slight hint of Macaroons too.

You can buy the scrub along with a whole range of Fake Bake Beauty at Home products here for £14.00

You Beauty Discovery Box - May Edition

For the past few months I have been getting the You Beauty Discovery Box which you can see February,  March and April with previous box contents.  This month my fourth box has arrived and I have said I am just as impressed.

This months box is themed "CEW(UK) Beauty Awards" and when I got my email to let me know my options for selection was now ready, I logged straight in with excitement to make my choices and I am so chuffed I got the products I really really wanted to try and surprisingly some of my choices were already sold out.

As I have said before, I love is how the box fits through my letterbox, it is packed really delicately and the box really study

Within the magazine which comes with the box we are told that for May's box they have joined forces with CEW(UK) in celebration of the holy anticipated CEW(UK) 2014 Beauty Awards. So as a dedicated subscriber, I have been given the opportunity to try both the finalists and winning brands which included:

Philip Kingsley - Elasticizer, Percy & Reed – Eau My Goodness Shine & Fragrance Spray, Oriflame – Tender Care Protecting Balm, Margaret Dabbs – Foot Hygiene Cream, Manuka Doctor – Mini Hero Kit, LOLA Make Up – Finishing Brush, L’Occitane en Provence – NEW Almond Milk Concentrate, GLAMGLOW – YOUTHMUD Tinglexfoliate Treatment & SUPERMUD Clearing Treatment, Fake Bake - 60 Minutes Self-Tan Liquid & Professional Mitt, Elemis – Pro-Collagen Marine Cream, Dr.Organic – Organic Moroccan Argan Oil Hair Treatment Serum, CHEEKY – Nail Paint in Tongue ‘n’ Cheek, Carmex – Moisturising Lip Balm, Burt’s Bees – Facial Cleansing Towelettes with White Tea Extract, Batiste – XXL Plumping Powder - Just how much choice is there - WOW

Again as with previous boxes, with this subscription you get some extra treats and mine came in the form of Charles Worthington - Moisture Seal Hair Healer Leave-In Conditioner, a sachet of Caudalie – Divine Legs and a sachet of Lizi’s – Naturally Toasted Granola in Treacle and Pecan flavour.

Then comes my actual selections.  

As soon as I saw one of them there was no doubt it was going to go in my box and it starts with Lola Make-up Finishing Brush which has the following description:

"This multi-purpose brush is designed to create a natural and airbrushed look.
It can be used to perfect and blend powder or liquid formulations.
Ideal for buffing face primers or foundations to a flawless finish".

This is obviously a full sized product which has an RRP of £17. This brush won the Best New Beauty Tool or Accessory Award.

The second choice of mine was Dr Organic Moroccan Argan Oil Hair Treatment Serum which comes with the follow description:

Produced with the finest Moroccan Argan Oil, this sumptuous but light hair treatment is instantly absorbed into the hair, resulting in a silky smooth finish with brilliant shine.

With the heavenly scent of Patchouli, Cinnamon and Rosewood and the combination of African organic extracts including Kukui, Moringa and Sacha Inchi Seed Oils, this bioactive formulation leaves hair beautifully conditioned.

This is a 100ml tube which you can purchase from places like Holland and Barratt and it has an RRP of £14.99

So for a £6.95 subscription, my box has a value of around £32 which is amazing value for money!
