I heard about this product many years ago, probably over 10 years ago now, but it was never available for purchase within the UK so I didn't get a chance to try it out. September 2015 I was flying with British Airways and in their shop I saw the product and just had to try it after all those years. I didn't  know what to expect from it but people had been raving about it for years so it must of been good. I've been using it every day since September and am already onto my second tub!

Egyptian magic cream is essentially a combination of different natural ingredients including, olive oil, honey, royal jelly and a few other ingredients. It is a multipurpose product with the reputation of healing skin irritations, easing acne and many other things and can be even used on men as after shave.

Within the beauty industry the product has been endorsed by many well known celebrities such as Victoria's Secret Angel Adriana Lima, Kate Hudson, Rachel Zoe, Cara Delevigne. Many many makeup artists have this product as must have in their makeup bags. 

My experience with Egyptian Magic Cream has also been a pleasant one; it certainly leaves my skin feeling nourished and moisturised in the morning as I tend to mainly slather this on my face of a night. What I love about this product is how I don't need to be cautious of it going around the eye area as it is gentle enough and if you want it could perhaps double up as an eye cream. However, I would recommend something richer as an eye cream (Kiehl's Creamy Avocado Eye Cream is my ultimate favourite). The consistency of the product is that of coconut oil, it's hard in the tub but starts to melt into an oil when is heated up between your hands. It doesn't smell too strong in the tub and there is basically no scent when its on your skin whatsoever so for those who dislike heavily scented products this would be right up your street. 

There isn't a specific skin type that would benefit from this product as everyone would; its gentle enough to be used on baby skin and effective enough to moisturise mature skin too. I have gotten my own family members to love the product; the men use it after shaving as it soothes and moisturises the skin, and with the cold weather it reduces the chances of the shaved area becoming irritated. My sister also loves the product and has stocked up on it, she uses it in similar ways to me. 

It's always good to be cautious of over hyped products however, this product is one that has had consistent positive feedback for many years and after trying the product it isn't hard to see why. I can see Egyptian Magic Cream being a staple product in my skincare routine for many years to come. Its affordable when compared to other moisturisers on the market but slightly pricier than a drugstore/high street product. It can be picked up from Boots in the UK and many online companies are also supplying it to, the average price I believe is around £30. 

If you buy just one product for this month I strongly recommend that you try this product as it works wonders on dry skin especially during this bitter english weather. The hype surrounding Egyptian Magic Cream is certainly worth it!

I picked up the OGX Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Penetrating Oil from Boots as a part of their 3 for 2 offer; after getting the shampoo and conditioner from this brand I hoped the oil wouldn't be too bad. 

I love a good moisturiser that smells divine and this has to be one of my all time favourites. Sanctuary Spa Covent Garden seem to produce wonderful and luxurious products that make you feel so lovely. 

This product leaves my skin with a beautiful glow; I find that my body looks much healthier and hydrated after I have used this. It doesn't take long to dry as your skin will absorb it and a little bit goes a long way so you won't run out of it fairly quickly. 

On the Sanctuary Spa website the product claims;

'Whilst you’re day dreaming of your next escape in the sun, drench your body in lashings of luscious moisture. This delicious whipped-crème combines a fragrant blend of exotic spices with shea butter, camomile & vitamin E that melts into skin to leave it feeling moisturised, soft & gorgeously fragranced. Smooth this fluffy & luxurious soufflé onto clean skin for instant pampering. Indulge in a truly decadent moisture ritual.'

This product provides your skin with spices and vitamin E, so as well as being a good product it is also benefiting your skin in aiding to improve its overall health. Also, the fragrance doesn't just disappear, it lingers on your skin for a long time which makes it even better. 

There isn't much detail to go into this product except it's a wonderful moisturiser that everyone should use. It comes at £11, I picked my tub up from Boots, although it is pretty pricey for a body moisturiser, it does last a long time and for me it's replaced everything else.

It was everywhere; all over blogs, youtube, shops. EVERYWHERE. Of course, I didn't try it when everyone was hyped up about it, I ended up getting my hands on it much later. Whenever I'd go into boots it was sold out, so I took it as a sign from God to not even bother. However, when I did get my hands on the Age Rewind Concealer I was hooked. I can understand why people raved about this product so much. 

This concealer states that its active formula and micro-corrector applicator erases dark circles, puffiness and fine lines instantly. Now that's quite a high standard to set, but I feel that this does it all so perfectly. Of course, be rational it's not a miracle worker, but it works extremely well.
This product comes in a range of six shades, so there should be something which works with everyone's skin tone.

The plastic packaging looks sleek; it differs from your standard concealers as it contains a round sponge tip/puff. To get the product out, all you have to do is twist until the puff is saturated and then press it onto areas you want to apply concealer.

I really do love using this product; for myself I picked up the lightest shade as I knew this would only be used as a highlighter, not a concealer. This shade is too light to conceal any imperfections so for that I would need to get a shade which matches my skin tone. It highlights beautiful and if I set it right it won't crease under my eyes. It covers my dark circles beautiful, although I will state that my dark circles are too prominent. This is a medium coverage product, so if you need something more powerful then you should probably invest in another product to deal with those tough areas. However, or me it works perfectly so if you have the same situation going on under your eyes as I do you'd be just fine.

There's nothing I can think that's bad about this product, because for the price and what it promises to do it does live up pretty well to it. Sometimes the packaging does irritate me because I do prefer being able to get concealer out with a pump, but I only use the puff to apply it then switch to my concealer/blending brush to work with the actual product. I've read reviews online that say it affected their sensitive eyes, but I think this can be avoided if you don't apply the product too close to your eye/waterline. I myself have extremely sensitive eyes and have never experienced any issues.

You really can not go wrong with this budget-friendly concealer; if you have been wondering whether to try it or not the I highly suggest you do. 

Fun Fact it's the only beauty product I have fully finished within about one month (maybe two). 

I remember first hearing about La Roche-Posay Serozinc a few years ago, (back when it had to be ordered online as it wasn't sold in England) but I never quite got a chance to try it then. So when I came across it in Boots a month ago, I couldn't have been happier and more excited to try a product. I picked this product up with the hope that it would have the power to fix my blemished skin as I had heard that's what it was predominantly good for.
