Which beauty product will you be buying?

April showers are dampening our spirits so it's time that we treated ourselves to some new beauty products.

Here is our pick of the best this week.

BB Olay Cream
BB Creams have become a BIG thing in the past six months or so, and Olay have revealed there own. Well it's actually been around since 2009, it's just been masquerading under a different name, Olay Total Effects Touch of Foundation. The cream evens skin tone, moisturisers, gently exfoliates, brightens, refines, has anti-ageing properties and protects against sun damage. Yes, all in that little bottle.

You're going to need something to take off your new BB Cream, and these are just the things. They are the perfect addition to any lazy girls beauty routing as they are super speedy and work instantly. The pads help to improve skin clarity, reduce visible pores and diminish the appearance of fine lines. Skin feels soft and fresh once you've used them.

Advanced Body Formula Solutions Cellulite Cream
As much as we may not be looking forward to it, bikini season is on its way, so it's time to start prepping. This cream works by using a blend of dermochlorella, a green algar extract and Body Fit, a peptide proven to reduce the orange-peel effect on skin, to help dispense toxins that build up and stimulate the breakdown of fatty deposits that lie in pockts under the skin. I've been using this product for a couple of weeks and can see a considerable difference.

LMS Spotlights
This unique beauty range is a red light therapy, a natural skin treatment, to help clear spots. They're small and compact enough to carry around in your bag and use on the move. They use technology proven to increase the production of new skin cells by 155 per cent and on average people can expect spots and mild-to-moderate acne to heal twice as fast as their skin's natural healing time. After using this product on problem areas my skin is looking clearer in a shorter amount of time.

Parissa Wax Strips
Trying to find the time to fit in a trip to the beauty salon can be a hard feat, so if you're having trouble, take it home to you. These mini wax strips are eco-friendly, mess free and an effortless way of shaping your brows. The kit includes Paissa Azulene Oil which instantly calms the skin afterwards. Top tip: Make sure that your hair is long enough, otherwise the strips can't pick them up.
