Mami tried it! UNE and Lubatti

HOLA! Mami has some "girl stuff" for me to write about and even though I love her very much, I really don't like writing about those things.

But since we do share this blog, I had to let her get her review in. Besides, you mamas like to know about that stuff. So, for the very first time ever, I have invited mami to guest blog!

Soooo here's mami with her review on UNE Cosmetics by Bourjois and Lubatti face cream  (be nice to her, she's new at this)

Very Busy Mama
Testing 1,2, 3. Testing, 1,2, uh? Is this thing on? Oh! Hello. Sorry. Not really in the habit of blogging. I tend to tweet and just brief my little guy on what's going on. A bit weird this blogging business.

Anyway, I hope you don't miss Little M too much, and don't mind me jumping in this week. Poor guy is tired of reporting on makeup and face creams.

I don't have a lot of time, and I know that neither do most of you. However, I believe a little makeup goes a long way.  Ever since I had Little M, my good friends Bobbi Brown and Laura Mercier have had to be dropped like a bad habit.

Now I scan the ailes at Boots looking for the best deal and hoping and praying the cover up will do just that, cover up. The blusher will last more than a tube ride, and that the mascara won't cause an allergic reaction.

So you can understand my excitement when I was sent a little gift set of UNE Cosmetics, a natual makeup range by Bourjois to try out and Lubatti face cream. I had never heard of UNE before, but I had been fortunate to review Lubatti night cream and eye gel previoulsy.

UNE Cosmetics
I was given Soft Minerals Powder Foundation, Glimmer Eyes Shadow, Breezy Cheeks Blush, and Sfumato Eyes Pencil. All UNE products are made with 98%-100% natural formulas and use organic ingredients. Very impressed at their efforts to be more environmentally friendly, they also do not use synthetic dyes or fragrances.

Better yet was the feel and actual application of the makeup. Other powders and blushers tend to cake on or disappear before even leaving your house.

The pressed powder is smooth and creamy. It goes on light and stays on.

The blush is a perfect compliment, also light and creamy, it goes on and blends in to your natural colours without looking too made up.

Best of all was the eye shadow which almost looks invisible. You think you may not have anything on, then it catches in the light and your eyes stand out in a subtle manner.

It is ideal for those who want quality make up without breaking the bank and busy mums on the go. Quick to apply, light and fresh and gives you glowing look through out the day!

Lubatti Gorgeous Day Moisturiser
Okay, yes, I love Lubatti! It is a luxury range by Tracey Malone, Jo Malone's sister, and treat it like liquid gold.

But before you jump all over me for proclaiming the gospel of cheap finds, I repeat, Lubatti is a luxury range. And I do believe every woman needs a little luxury in her life.

Lubatti is the kind of product you want to make last forever. I have been using the Gorgeous Day Moisturiser made with Orange and Jojoba and it is just that, gorgeous. Smells terrific and when putting it on I do so carefully and with care making sure every last inch of my face has been lathered.

Lubatti wakes up my face each morning (which is hard to do by the way) and gives it a nice tight feel and perfect before applying your makeup.

If you are like me, a slave to face creams, you will want to add this one to your list of indulgences. Don't forget, only 93 days until Christmas.

Mami tried it! Lubatti Sparkling Eye Gel

Mami has been an "absolute zombie" lately. Based on her looks, I think that means she is very tired and not getting enough sleep. I guess she has been working longer hours and on our days together we are always out with friends.

She says the winter is going to be long and dark so we need to get out while we can.

But she knows she has to give me a complete update on her reviews so that I can tell you all about them.

This week mami talks about the Lubatti Sparking Eye Gel. And really, I don't know what it does, but she needs a little boost!

The "good stuff" Lubatti Sparkling Eye Gel

Mami says "the eye gel is cooling around the eyes and helps get rid of the puffiness. Especially first thing in the morning. It feels really good!"

Some of the ingredients I have never heard of, but apparently are good for mami's skin. The cold sensation around the eyes is because it has aloe vera and green tea extract. Yucky! Doesn't sound so good as the Dreamy Night Cream. Now that sounded yummy.

"I just put some on after splashing my face with cold water and it instantly feels refreshing. I use it at night too and the tingly feeling lets me know its working. Really love it."

Mami's tip: She always recommends when applying eye gel, it is best to use your ring finger because it its gentler and won't pull the skin as much or very gently pat the area with your index finger (that's the one I use to point with).

Girl stuff.

bye bye,

Mami tried it! Lubatti Dreamy Night Cream

Clearly I am not the expert when it comes to the stuff mami puts on her face. The only creams I know are nappy creams and that slimy baby cream mami sometimes rubs on my arms and legs. Yuck! I don't like it at all!

So when Lubatti contacted me about mami trying out some of their products, I thought "Why not? Mami deserves it and she loves that stuff".

And she really does. I have seen first hand how she paints her face in the mornings and although I am asleep at night, daddy has told me all about her night time "routine".

It involves taking off the colours from her face and lots of cream! Come to think of it, I have never seen daddy do any of this, so I won't either.

I sat down with mami and she told me what she thought about the Lubatti Mango and Avocado Dreamy Night Cream  (two of my favourite foods by the way!)

Hola mami! Tell my readers a little bit about Lubatti Skincare

Hola mi amor. Well, Lubatti Skincare Collection is an exclusive range of luxury skincare products by Tracey Malone, who is Jo Malone's sister. You may not understand it all, but don't worry, all your mummy friends will!

What stuff have you been putting on your face?

The "stuff" you refer to is the Mango and Avocado Dreamy Night Cream. And let me just say, it really is dreamy. It makes your face feel soft and silky and gives it a tighter feel. Very important!

How is it different from the other stuff you use?
Well, for starters it is good for all skin types. I have sensitive skin and it has not irritated or made it itcty. Secondly, it is a thick but smooth moisturiser - many other creams tend to stay on surface of the skin and dry too quickly.

What are the special ingredients?
It has avocado oil which is naturally high in vitamins and helps soften your skin. Then there is mango fruit juice which has lots of vitamins and will leave the skin soft and silky smooth. And shea butter, which is also an excellent moisturiser for the skin. I know this may sound yummy, but you can't eat this cream.

Anything else you want mums to know?
It is priced higher than your average moisturiser, but that is because it is a luxury item. Everyone needs a little luxury in their lives and this one is just perfect! I love how smooth my skin feels and the smell is not overpowering like other lotions and creams. It is very subtle and delicate - it is just right.

What do you recommend then?
I suggest mamas add Lubatti to their Birthday and Christmas list. They definitely won't be sorry, and there is an entire range of luxurious skincare and gift sets. It really does make you feel like a VIP Mama! I have some other products I am using too, but I will tell you more about them next week.

So there you have it, mami and her creams. Her face really does smell nice - I should know she is always smothering me in kisses!

I will be back next week when we talk Sparkling Eye Gel. This should be interesting!
