Suzie Q Reviews: The Wonder Pad!

Hey Ladies, 

After doing a MAHOOSIVE clear out of my skincare drawer it dawned on me that I have never done a post on my secret weapon when it comes to controlling blemishes! If you have never heard of Waxperts I'll give you a little bit of background info on the company. They are an Irish waxing company run by the lovely Ellen and they are masters in waxing, waxing after care and all things skin. They also have a salon in Dun Laoghaire and everything with Waxperts from the salon to the packaging of their products is vintage/boudoir inspired- which I absolutely love! 

Right, back on track. The Wonder Pads in a nutshell are treatment pads that contain salicylic acid to help prevent against ingrown hairs. So if your a wax-er or a shaver you NEED these. But if you have an acne prone skin these are ideal at controlling breakouts and clearing up skin. I have been using these for a long time now and have found them very effective without being drying or irritating.

The Wonder Pads are a crucial step in my everyday routine and I have tried replacing them with something similar like the Origins Blemish Treatment pads and to be frank...they just weren't as good and there was a massive price difference (€7.95 compared to €31). At night I sweep a pad across my skin after my cleanser and before my moisturiser, I love that there is no tingle or irritation and they don't leave any residue on the skin. Its also widely known that with an acne prone skin that scrubs are just a complete no-no and sometime you need a little somethin' somethin' to give your skin a polish and The Wonder Pads give the right amount of polish and the salicylic acid also helps to exfoliate. They are also superb for people who don't usually suffer with breakouts but get the odd breakout around "that" time of the month. In each tub you get 40 pads so whether your using them for waxing/shaving or using them for blemishes one tub lasts a long time! 

You can find Waxperts products on Cloud10Beauty.com and if you missed it I posted my first YouTube video on Saturday and in that video I showed a new release from Waxperts that is to-die-for so you can check that out here.

Until next time!

Cloud10 Beauty Haul

Hey Ladies,

Not to toot my own horn but I like to think of myself as a lucky person, it seems that I win competitions all the time. Recently I entered into Cherry Sue's Cloud 10 Beauty €100 giveaway and whaddya know? I came out victorious once again. I actually just before I went to Amsterdam so I spent my holiday daydreaming about what I would spend my 100squid on. Top of the list was the GlamGlow Supermud Mask which has been making the rounds on blogs for some time now and has been getting rave reviews. This mask in particular is geared towards more problematic skin and I could definitely do with the help.Also big thanks to Yaz from GlitterMamaWishes.com for the recommendation!

I also picked up the Waxperts Wonder Pads which I've been wanting to try for the longest time, claiming to remover ingrown hairs, skin breakouts and razor burns its right up my alley. Orofluido Beauty Elixir hair oil was also on my shopping list as I have been testing it out over the last month and not only is it amazing but it smells to die for! I also picked up two Sleek palettes and a Sleek brow pencil because it would be rude not to, and last but not least a Tanya Burr nail polish! To say that I was over the moon when the postman called at 9am in the morning would be an understatement, the box was literally in my hands for the whole of 10 seconds before I ripped it apart and gave everything a good go. And don't worry over the next couple of weeks I will be doing reviews of my favourites!
