Lush Dream Cream Review

Lush Dream Cream Review

For the last five years, I have suffered from sensitive skin. Eczema started appearing on my hands and arms, making me really self conscious especially in the summer when everyone was walking round in nice tops with their arms on show. I didn’t want to use any of the creams and lotions which various doctors gave me so I was on the search for a new product which would appeal to people like me. I found Dream Cream back in 2011 and it certainly gets the thumbs up from me.

Dream Cream is a cream designed for sensitive and easily upset skins. It contains oat milk (for soothing and calming the skin), rose absolute (for balancing and nourishing the skin), lavender oil (antiseptic and helps to heal the skin) and more. The texture of Dream Cream is thick and creamy. Lush have recently bought out a self-preserving option which feels a lot more concentrated. Personally, I think the self-preserving one feels better and works quicker on my skin but it doesn’t matter which one you use. I have found that it does take a little longer to absorb into the skin but my eczema and sensitive skin is left feeling cooler and nourished as soon as I apply it.

This has helped my skin so much and in my opinion is the perfect moisturiser for eczema sufferers such as myself. Dream Cream is certainly an essential in my daily routine. I don’t think I would ever go back to using the E45 cream which doctors recommend. I think if you’re currently suffering from sunburn, this will most definitely help your skin too due to it’s cooling ingredients. At £11.50, it isn’t that expensive if you want something which will ease and restore sensitive, upset skin. One of the things I do love about Lush is that you will be able to try a sample of the product before you buy the whole thing and don’t forget to keep your black pot to recycle too.

What’s your opinion on Dream Cream? Have you ever used it before?

Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Review

Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Review

Everyone knows how much I love Barry M, right?! They are actually one of the first ever beauty brands that I got into. I remember it being my treat with my Aunt when I used to go to town on the weekend, she always treated me to a Lush bath bomb and a nail polish for a mini pamper evening. Of course I just had to jump on the bandwagon when these beauties were released! The quality of the polishes are amazing and so good compared to the original shades. After one or two coats, you can achieve a nice opacity depending on how light the shade is.

There are so many shades so you are bound to find one which you fall in love with. The range is priced at £3.99 which I think is super affordable as you are getting a long lasting, high quality drugstore nail varnish which is such a lovely formula. Although they don’t last as long as getting my nails professionally done, the formulation usually lasts me about a week completely chip free with a top coat applied which I think is quite impressive for a drugstore brand.

Have you tried the Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine polishes yet? What’s your favourite shade?
