Beauty Gossip: NeoStrata Skin Active Intensive Eye Therapy

At my latest facial I was told I need to start using eye cream but with so many of them I was a bit confused on which one to choose?

So I will be testing some different ones over the next few months.

Today I have Reviewed:

NeoStrata Skin Active Intensive Eye Therapy is aimed at targeting crows feet and puffiness with a multi-mechanistic approach that plumps the deep layers of the skin, smoothing lines and wrinkles from the insides out so the eye area appears more lifted.

So what's inside the pot?

• Apple stem cell extract that preserves youthful look and vitality of the skin
• Peptides stimulate matrix components to produce more collagen
• NeoGlucosamine that reinforces the collagen's surrounding support structure
• Caffeine to reduce puffiness

How to use:

Apply once a day for the first two weeks and then twice a day thereafter.

Stockists can be found: www.aestheticssource.com

RRP: £51:45

Give me a Krispy Kreme PLEASE...

If you don't LOVE Krispy Kreme doughnuts then there is something wrong with you as they are fab! And now they have the new Kreme de la Kreme range with three new delicious flavours.

And first glance they look like a piece of yummy art...

 

Pistachio and White Chocolate Nougat

From looking at it it looks like it topped with jelly tots, but these are actually honey and raspberry flakes mixed with chopped pistachios. The icing is yummy white chocolate drizzled on top.

When you break inside there is smooth pistachio praline cream YUMMMY

 

Salted Caramel

I was not sure what salted caramel would taste like and it got me  thinking about salted popcorn (Not sure why!)

The delicious doughnut is filled with salted caramel which has an addictive taste, dipped in Belgium dark chocolate icing with a white and caramel icing in the shape of hearts - Perfect for a loved one.

Chocolate Praline Fudge Cake

 

The last flavour is a chocolaty one, a rich chocolate cake, hand dipped in milk chocolate hazelnut sauce (Mouth watering yet?) then the doughnut is rolled sideways so it becomes encrusted in caramelised hazelnuts finished with dark chocolate icing!
