New Year, New Movies?

New year resolutions are always about important lifestyle, health or financial changes which are definitely worth while having on your list of resolutions but I think we can all be a bit too serious when it comes to resolutions - why not add some fun resolutions such as trying something new, visiting new places, trying new food or watching TV and movies that you wouldn't usually?

Warner Bros are encouraging everyone to try a new film genre in the new year and why not start with a comedy? I usually prefer action, adventure, mystery or historial style films but I do want to watch other genres in 2017. I don't watch as many comedies as I used to so I want that to change and they can definitely help with my mood if I'm having a bad day (and they're great for movie nights with friends and family!).

The wonderful and generous people at Warner Bros are helping me host a giveaway over on my Twitter (@ofbeautyand) featuring all five of the DVDs shown above: Yes Man, Due Date, Doc Hollywood, Two Weeks Notice and Horrible Bosses. I've heard of all of these films but I haven't watched any of them so I'm excited to and I'm excited to be able to give a set away to one lucky winner on Twitter so head over there now to enter, all you have to do is follow me (@ofbeautyand) and retweet my giveaway tweet which will be pinned to the top of my feed. The giveaway is UK only and it will end on Sunday 22nd January so go, go, go!

Have you watched any of these films? What are your new years resolutions? 

Salcura Skincare + Giveaway

Salcura Skincare + Giveaway
One of the problems I have while looking for skincare is that my skin can be extremely sensitive when I have an eczema flareup and they occur about once a month, mostly a small flareup but others can be horrendous! I'm always looking for products to help and over the years I have found quite a few from prescription creams to french skincare and eczema specific products. I was very kindly sent a couple of products from the natural skincare brand Salcura who specialise in skincare for people with eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and acne.

*Salcura DermaSpray (£16.99, 100ml): I have eczema mainly around my eyes and my cheeks but I do also get it sometimes on my ears and hairline as well as the large patch on my left hand. The eczema on my face can be awful at times and obviously I can't hide it which can be quite depressing but the eczema on my hand can be equally as bad especially as I wash my hands more than my face. I've tried numerous prescribed and generic eczema creams for my hand and a couple have worked well although some just irritate my skin.

This lotion is in a spray bottle so it would be perfect if you had larger areas of eczema on your body however the spray isn't as useful for me as I just have it on my hand. However the spray lotion is very light weight so much so that it is almost like water on the skin, it doesn't irritate my eczema and it relives the look and feel of very dry and tight skin. It absorbs very quickly so it would be perfect for those with larger areas of body eczema. Additionally, 98% of the ingredients are of natural origin which is fantastic and the products are free from parabens, SLS, artificial fragrance, lanolin and more. It must be so popular as one is sold every five minutes in the UK! Overall rating: ★★★★☆, 4/5.

*Salcura Zeoderm Repair Moisturiser (£9.99, 50ml): I also received this moisturiser that is suitable for the face and body. The moisturiser is suitable for severe cases of eczema and other dry skin conditions. The cream is an unappealing colour and both products do smell medicinal to me which may put some people off but I have been using this moisturiser on my hands and on my face and it has been helping so much with reducing the feeling of tight and extremely uncomfortable skin due to dryness; it also helps relieve the look of dryness and flakiness.

I will definitely get so much use out of the moisturiser and I have been recently as my eczema has been flaring up (due to stress/anxiety and weather changes I think) and I've been using a small amount on my face after my facial oil. When used in conjunction with my other products, my eczema is slowly fading! Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.

Now onto the giveaway, the lovely people at Salcura are giving my readers the chance to win a fantastic winter skin therapy pack which would be perfect if you have dry skin, eczema or another dry skin condition. There will only be one winner and this giveaway is UK only! The prizes will be the products I have featured in this post. To enter just fill out the Rafflecopter form below:
