Holiday Product's Reviews

On my recent trip to Helsinki I took a few beauty mini's I had never tried before so I could have a chance to review them, the item's I took were Nivea Facial Cleansing Wipes, Balance Me Face mask, Vaseline, Yves Rocher Moisturisers, Umberto Giannini Shampoo and Conditioner, Radox Shower Smoothie, Cocoa Butter and Calypso Dry Oil.

The product I was most impressed by was the Nivea Face Wipes, these were light and came in a handy pack it only had 7 wipes in which was ideal for my holiday. I found they cleaned my skin well and removed all my make up, you could also use them cleanse your face which I found useful as it worked well.

The products I needed to use the most were my moisturisers I took with me my Cocoa Butter, Vaseline and Yves Rocher. I took these products as I knew they work well and knew my skin would be well protected, I love how all these products sink in and don't leave me feeling sticky but still hydrated. They also kept my skin from having any breakouts which is horrid when you are on holiday and a nasty spot pops out to say hello! I also used my Balance Me face mask in the evening and felt it really helped to clear my skin and stop it from any holiday breakouts.

One of the new products I had never used before was Umberto Ginnaini shampoo and conditioner, I wasn't to impressed with this set. The shampoo had a soap scent to it rather then a nice shampoo scent it was almost like I had got a bar of soap and rubbed it onto my hair. The conditioner was nice it made my hair extremely soft and I would more then likely re purchase it. Also the bottles were extremely hard to use, getting any product out was awful I either got a small blob or shook to hard and got a week worth of shampoo on my hands.

Lastly 2 products I loved using were my Radox Shower Smoothie and my sun protector, the shower smoothie was such an intense smell and I loved how it left my skin feeling so soft and smooth after using. Then I picked up a new sun protector I decided to go for a dry oil one as I'm not a fan of rubbing in sun cream every 4 hours I would much prefer to spray and go, the brand I used was Calypso. The product worked great and was so easy to use, I didn't burn and felt protected.

So there we go a rather long post, but hope you enjoyed!

My Holiday To Helsinki!

My trip to Helsinki was amazing! The weather was fantastic and there was so much to do, I flew with Finnair who are a low budget airline company offering flights to Europe and connection flight's to the rest of the world. It was a 2 hour 45 minute flight and I was extremely impressed with how the flight ran. When I arrived in Helsinki the weather was 25 degrees and stay like that for my whole holiday (thankfully).

There was loads to do I visited loads of Museums my favorite being the Kiasma Museum which was a Contemporary Art Museum, It feature a room full of Art by a bloke called Dan Perjovschi, I was extremely impressed by his work. I also went to a Zoo on an island called Korkeasaari which was an amazing zoo with Bears and Reindeer, on the way back I also got the boat across which stop of at an impressive flea market.

My hostel was a central one by the name of Kongressikoti, which was fantastic. I had a single room with shared shower and toilet, it was all clean and run well, with some great extra's (a hairdryer yay!). On the last night I was able to visit a bar owned my one of my favorite drummer's Jussi 69 from The 69 Eyes, I was so over excited even though he wasn't there I turned into a kid at Christmas! I also watched a live band by the name of Private Line, even though it was all in Finnish it was still great! 

So hopefully that gave you an idea of what I got up to! If you are thinking of visiting Finland/Helsinki feel free to ask me any questions, I can hopefully help you out =]
