Magnitone Pulsar

Skincare is one of my biggest loves and having a good skincare routine has become very important for me. Especially since I started doing makeup and having more makeup than normal being put on my skin and taken off numerous times a day. (My skin really has been suffering and is in serious need of some TLC) Sometimes skincare products can carry a rather large price tag but I believe that where skincare is concerned, 99% of the time you receive the quality you pay for.

Ever since my mum got a Clarisonic and I was lucky enough to try it I had my heart set on one, but with a price range from £99-£179 it was far more than I could ever afford so it was left on my wish list and believed it would be staying there for good.

A couple of weeks ago I was approached to review a new skincare cleansing and toning system called the Magnitone Pulsar(£129.00)*.  Honestly I couldn’t reply to the email fast enough I knew I needed this little beauty in my life and couldn’t wait to receive it and get started.

Before I begin my review I wanted to mention my skin type and problem areas so you get an idea of what I want and look for in a product.

I have combination/oily skin, I am dry around my cheeks and forehead and unfortunately I’m ridiculously oily everywhere else (it’s the biggest pain in the bum). I have spots around my chin and the sides of my face,  and at times  I can find it difficult to find  products that actually benefit my skin and get rid of my unwanted spots, blemishes and red marks.

What is Magnitone Pulsar?

It is a daily skin cleansing and toning system for face & body to effectively cleanse, refresh and stimulate your skin, helping to give it a wonderful natural youthful glow. It is waterproof and can be used in the bath and shower and one quick charge (75 min) of the tool gives enough power for 3 weeks of everyday use.

I am not going to lie, the list of amazing benefits of using Magnitone Pulsar for just 7 Days made me super excited to get started.

1.       More effective deep cleansing and removal of impurities

2.       Can help to increase collagen level in skin

3.       Softer, smoother and clearer looking skin tone

4.       Noticeable increase in blood circulation to the skin

5.       Firmer, tighter feeling skin texture

6.       Helps reduce appearance of visible pores

7.       Can help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

8.       Gentle exfoliation of dry skin for silkier arms and legs

9.       Helps reduce razor rash and irritation after hair removal

10.   Enhanced moisture and nutrient absorption of your regular skin products (SPF, self-tan, moisturizers).

The design of the brush is simple. The charging/docking station plugs into the wall and you can keep it on your bathroom shelf. The brush needs charging every 3-4 weeks if you use it daily, so you don't have to keep it plugged in. Magnitone Pulsar is super easy to use and comes with two buttons: the on/off button and a mode button to change speed settings. 

The brush is designed for use on both the face and the body and has four cleansing modes to suit all skin types. The system is fully waterproof, which is great, especially for use over the body in the shower. The rubbery coating makes it really easy to grip and control, even when the system is wet.

There are four settings too choose from. Each mode works at a different speed:

• Sensitive Setting, for sensitive skin, or sensitive areas of your face. Works best with the sensitive brush.
•     Pulse Lift Massage Mode, this setting helps to improve blood circulation and I have been using it on scarred areas of my face and neck. It feels very pleasant and really stimulates the skin.
• Exfoliate, I don't use this setting every day, only when I have to get rid of some dry patches or when my skin is looking a bit dull. I prefer using the sensitive mode for normal cleansing.
• Deep Cleanse, I use this mode on my T-zone to get rid of all the impurities and reduce the size of pores.

Two brush heads are supplied with the system, one for use on the body, one for the face. You can also buy sensitive skin brushes which are a little softer. The brushes supplied are quite soft, but firm enough to give a good clean and exfoliate. When the brush is turned on the system uses electromagnetic technology and the brush head vibrates and pulses, in fact it oscillates 15,000 times a minute. The brush has a sort of suspension system to it, so it moves with the shape of your face.

Once my 7 days is up I will do a full review of the product including results and how I feel about it. I honestly can’t wait to get started.

Soap and Glory Marvelips

Today I'm reviewing "Marvelips" which is a double ended lip pencil which aims to shape and super size the lips. £8.43 at Boots and they currently have a 3 for 2 offer on. I’ll probably be going back for more although I really shouldn't; my wallet hates me right now.

One end is colour, the other is highlighter. On the back of the packet it gives instructions on how to apply but I didn't find that their technique worked for me. It advised to fill lips with colour then use the highlighter to pick out the middle of the lips for a pouty look. But this just made the highlighter end messy with lipstick which I really didn't like; anything messy is a big no no for me. You can see that the highlighter is actually quite glittery but I liked it. The texture is very silky and it’s easy to apply, I felt like it was moisturizing my lips which is always an extra bonus.

So I applied the highlighter first to the middle of the lips and the cupids bow then I outlined the lips with the coloured end and filled in my lips using a lipstick colour of my choice leaving some of the highlight showing through. This method really worked for me and I was extremely happy with the results. I don’t know that my lips look any fuller but I do love the highlighted look, for someone who’s normally quite self-conscious about their small lips this is a big deal.

As far as I’m aware this only comes in one colour which is a sort of dusky pink shade, fairly natural and great for every day wear. I've worn it quite a lot and now need to invest in a big fat sharpener for it since I definitely want to carry on using it. I love it. Very soft, silky and a beautiful colour. Just wish it lasted a bit longer.

Have you tried the Soap and Glory Marvelips, do you feel it gives you the look of a fuller pout?

TMI Tag

Yay it’s the weekend, happy Saturday beauties, does anyone else think this week seemed to go on forever. I’ve been really ill so maybe that’s why.

So recently I've seen quite a few bloggers doing a post on the TMI Hashtag so thought it would be a good way of you getting me to know as I am still pretty new to all this and of course if everyone else is I may as well have a go at it to, plus it looked like a really fun post to do. So here it goes.

Piercings / Tattoos 

I have three tattoos one on my foot one on my wrist and one on the back of my neck so they are all pretty easily hidden; the first I got at 18 I was having a little bit of a rough time and I had always wanted a tattoo so I thought why not go for it, it’s a positive quote which really means a lot to me and is there to remind me where I have been and what I have gone through and where I am now, I wanted it from when I was 15/16 but my parents hated tattoos and piercings so I was never allowed get it, they were fairly angry when they saw it (I recommend no one get tattoos or piercings without your parents’ permission if your still underage, it doesn’t end well). The other one is at the back of my neck, it’s the word happiness in Sanskrit, again with me it’s all about the positivity and I love Sanskrit I think it’s beautiful. Finally my last tattoo is on my left foot and it’s a feather, I am not the most superstitious person by any means but any time I am missing someone that has passed away in my life or thinking about them I ALWAYS see a feather, whether it’s a picture or real thing (weird I know).

Piercings wow where do I start, I actually have a lot less than I used to but over the Summer I had to get my tonsils out so all my piercings had to come out and a lot closed up and I should didn’t have the money to get them redone. I have 6 in my left ear, 1 and a plug in my right ear, I have my lip and nose done and I also have the back of my neck done just above my tattoo.

How tall are you/How much do you weigh?

I'm 5"5 so I am fairly tall, in saying this my boyfriend towers over me at 6”5 so I still get to wear heels all the time, it’s a great excuse really, and I weigh......well I’m actually not going to tell you how much I weigh because this is something I’m really self conscious of but I have been working on it and in the gym (this may sound weird but I absolutely LOVE going to the gym)

Have you ever been in love?
Yes I have, well I’m actually going to rephrase that, and yes I am. I have been in a few long term relationships and always thought I was in love, turns out I really wasn’t. I didn’t really understand what love was but I now do and couldn’t be happier with my incredible boyfriend. Love you Cían.

Have you ever had a terrible breakup?
To be honest I think this is a bit of a silly question, I feel like all my break ups have been terrible. I don’t I have ever heard anyone say o yea our breakup was great I really enjoyed it.

Something you miss?

Currently I am really missing chocolate, I have been dieting so I haven’t had chocolate in weeks and it’s killing me.

Zodiac Sign?
Imaginative and sensitive, Compassionate and kind. Selfless and unworldly

Intuitive and sympathetic.

On the dark side, Escapist and idealistic, secretive and vague, weak-willed and easily led.

Quality you look for in a partner?

There are a number of things I look for loyal, ambitious, charismatic, confident and funny. 

Turn off?

My biggest turn off is men without drive, ambition or passion. I could never be with someone without goals; I need a man who can dream and believe in them.

Favourite Quote?

“Be who you are and say how you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind” Dr. Seuss. I live by this quote, even have it painted on my bedroom wall, well actually I spray painted it.

What are your fears?

I feel like my fears are all pretty typical, aeroplanes and flying, spiders and clowns. Life would be so much better without all these nasties.

Favourite Show?

Definitely The Big Bang Theory, that show absolutely cracks me up, I watch re runs over and over again, I just can’t get enough of it.

Favourite Bands?

I have a very broad taste in music I will listen to anything but my favourite band is definitely Mumford and Sons, I have been to all of their concerts in Dublin and can’t get enough of them. I think if I ever have the opportunity to meet them I’d die, when I heard they were going incognito I cried, I was in work read it in the newspaper and burst into tears, sad I know. 

Favourite Flavour of sweet?

I have serious thing for jellys, I absolutely love them, my favourite are those smiley faces that you get in the Pick and Mix.

Far too many to list, I couldn’t pick one.

I am one of those people who is constantly singing, it really gets on peoples nerves sometimes.

Where do you go when you're sad?

When I get sad I like to be alone. I'm not one for sharing really which is probably uhealthy.

A place you want to visit

There's tonnes of places I want to visit Rome, NYC, Amsterdam there’s really too many to list.

The last sport you played?

I was pretty sporty as teenager and played a lot of sports in school, hockey, cricket, tennis the list goes on.

Favourite colour?

I am a lover of mint green and purple and you may have noticed that from my blog design.

Have you ever been in a physical fight?

I have two sisters and there is less than 3 years between us so when we were young we used to fight A LOT, but obviously it never happens anymore.

The reason you started blogging?

I loved reading blogs and watching You Tube videos and thought I had something to say which I hoped would be heard. I am also fairly creative so I thought this would be a good way of letting my creative side out.

The meaning behind your blog name?

Well as I child I always had a fascination with angels and fairies and always thought they were so beautiful and always wanted to look like one so I thought angels secrets would be good to let people in on a few of my secrets and tips on how to look beautiful and maybe a little like an angel.

Well now you know me a little better. If you have done a TMI Post comment with your link so I can have a look at your answers and get to know you.
