Emma S. Moisturising eye gel

So I wrote last week that I was going to try out some new Emma S. products. Well I have started to dive into them and boy do I love them! I'm not going to talk about the other products on here because I want to do a more in depth review after I have used them for a bit longer, but I really wanted to share my first thoughts about the eye gel with you guys. I have never used an actual gel on my eyes before, as I have mentioned previously; I used to get permanent eyelash extensions done on my eyes. That made me really careful with what I used on around my eyes.
But now when I have got my extensions removed, I can finally try out some new products. I will havet o say that this one is epic. It contains caffein something that I'm addicted to outside the beauty department too. The caffein really works wonders on the eyes.

Emma S




Emma S. is a Swedish skincare brand that has been launched by a Swedish model, actress and TV personality Emma Wiklund. They provide save and effective beauty products that gives what they promises. The brand states that it should be easy to take care of your skin and good skin care isn't just about the products but about how we feel and how we live. They have products for Cleasing, Moisturising, Ageless -a anti age and body. The products are made in Sweden and are free from paraben and mineraloils.

I have to say this is my new holy grail when it comes to skin care. Yes I still have my usual day cream from Clarins (The Capital Luminére Jour) and I still use my serum from Lancôme (The Visionnaire, Correcteur Fondamental) most of the days, but other than that I have switched out most of my skin care for Emma S.
It all started with a facial mask. The Ageless Enzyme peel, I didn't think it would work but I got an offer on it and hey why not try. Holy....Garden Gnome.. That stuff is amazing! Yes you do look like a boiled prawn in the face after it but hey I can rock that. (Do it at night, please for the love of...do it at night)
After that I decided to give it a bigger plunge, so now I have ordered some more products from her brand. Before when I had my fake lashes I was so scared to buy any form of eyecream other than the one that my lash girl recomended. It was good but I have really sensitive eyes, that gets puffy and red for no reasons what so ever. So that cream really didn't give me what I wanted. So this time around I am going to try Emma  S. Moisturising Eye Gel. People say that it's really good so let's give it a go.
Besides that one I have been eyeing the Ageless Oxygen Mask for such a long time now, I think the whole idea is really cool but was a bit iffy about if it worked or not. Seeing how I have loved every single product I have got from them before I shouldn't be so doubting.

So those two are my two new products from Emma S. that I will be trying out starting this week. I will update you guys later in the week about how they behave and feel. I'm hoping that it will be just as good as the rest.

You can find more info about the Emma S. brand HERE.



If you're like me and can't get a tan the natural way to save your life, then you have probably also tried out most of the Sunless tanning solutions out there already, right? Well that is if you actually want a tan, not all people do and that is up to each and every one of them. But yeah so I'm one of those people who actually want a tan. But I don't want to look orange! Oooh no don't even get me started on the many times when I have applied the Sunless tan to then a couple of hours later look in the mirror and face an  Ompalompa.... Sigh. 

Well that is why I am soo soo exited to give you guys a bit of a tip. The tip is ST. Tropez Self Tan. This stuff is amazinballs. Seriously! I like the Mousse the best but I'm sure that other people prefer the other too. You apply this stuff and a couple of hours later you have a tan, an actuall brown, natural looking, non orange, not scary looking tan! 
  • So, how long does this stuff last?
    Well I like to apply mine ones a week in the summer, if you want a deeper darker tan then I would say apply it more than ones a week.
  • How long does the application take?
    That depends on how used you are to applying Self tanners, if you're like me and have washed yourself with them over the years then it takes around 10 min max.
  • Is it hard to use?
    Not at all, I would say get the applicator mitt that you can buy from ST. Tropez with it. That really helps plus you don't get those extremely tanned hands that really gives your secret away. Other than that it's really easy, it has a bit of color when you apply it so you really can tell where you need a bit more.
  • Does it smell?
    I would like to say no, but let's face it you put a product on your skin so yes. It does smell but only a tiny bit, I have an older brother who is very happy to point out the times when I smell like a cemical factory and he has said nothing about this smell. That I will take as a big plus!
  • Will it stain?
    I want to say no there too, it hasn't stained anything for me and it dries really quickly. But then again I would avoid sleeping on white sheets for the first night (ehm.. I won't be doing THAT tonight at all...) The product has not stained any cloths or anything like that for me. BUT! When you was it off after the amount of hours that you want to wait...it will stain EVERYTHING around you if you're not careful. I wash it off in the shower and make sure to wash the shower off with water afterwards. So be careful with your bathroom when you wash it off.
  • Will it streak? 
    Any product can streak if you don't apply it carefully, but I would say that if you have ever tried a self tanner before or if you're just careful and pay attention to what you're doing then it's really hard to get this to not be streak-free.
  • Where can I buy it?  
    I'm pretty sure that you could get this on Ebay but my tip is to get it either through ST. Tropez own website that you can find HERE or through one of the beauty sites that sell it.
    If you are from Sweden then Kicks has started to sell ST. Tropez now and the website to them you can find HERE
So in my book this product gets a 5/5 if I were to score it.
