Hey guys,
As you may
know it as youngest sisters 18th Birthday and she loved every minute of it. She
came over to my house so she could rummage through my makeup collection. She
obviously picked all the most expensive products so she could feel like a
little princess, which she should do on her special day. She looked absolutely
stunning. I am forever telling her to go to college and study makeup as well as
getting a part time job on a makeup counter as she is amazing at doing makeup.
Liam and I
bought her some gorgeous makeup gifts as she has been eyeing up my Christmas
Gift Guides so it wasn’t only right that I put my money where my mouth was and
spoiled her. I also ordered her some red velvet cupcakes from a girl called
Debbie who lives quite near me. They were all personalised for her using some
of my favourite pictures of her as a baby, growing up and then becoming a woman.
She had the best night possible and she actually let loose which is unlike her.
I’m glad she had a night to remember as that’s all you really want on your 18th
birthday.
Liam will be
home for 3 weeks tonight, which I’m excited for because it means we can buy
some Christmas decorations and get the house smelling of Christmas for the 1st
December. I love Christmas Markets so we will definitely be hitting the Glasgow
markets for some mulled wine and cookies at some point. We also have an adult panto
with some friends and a LOT of Christmas dinners
with our families so I am very excited.
Anyway, enough
about me, let’s get on with this review. I was recently sent a Magnitone Lucid*
(£69.99) to carry out their 7 day challenge and review the product. I’m not
gonna lie, I know I shouldn’t use products like this on my face as they can
seem a little abrasive but I don’t care, I want to try everything so I can give
my thoughts on it for you guys.
The Magnitone
Lucid claims to give clearer, softer and brighter skin within 7 days, that’s quite
a statement. The brush is to be used morning and night to give your face a deep
clean where it uses electromagnetic pulsations that send rapid vibrations into
skin. It has 10,000 movements per minute. That’s impressive! These vibrations
claim to naturally unclog pores, clean away dirt and dead skin cells leaving
the skin looking clearer. The brush works in a similar way to the Clarisonic (£125) in
the sense that it cleans your face in 1 minute with a beep indicating when you
should move onto another area of your face. Your forehead, chin and nose take
20 seconds each and your cheeks have 10 seconds each which is ideal.
When I
received this facial brush I was quite impressed with the size of it and
the goodies that came along with it. I got a headband to keep my hair out the
way when washing, a brush cover to keep it clean, a wireless travel charger and
a European plug for when I’m on holiday.
I have used
the Olay Professional Face Brush (£39.99) before but I found it was very harsh for my
sensitive skin. I know what you’re thinking, why am I excited about this brush
if I have already had a bad experience and you are right to ask that, but as I
said, I like to try things out and this was an opportunity I didn’t want to
pass up as I wanted to compare it.
I completed
the 7 day challenge without any problem. I made sure it was the first thing I
reached for in the morning and the first thing I grabbed when I took my makeup off.
Well that’s a lie, I used makeup remover first, a cleansing balm and then I
used this but as I say, I done it for the full 7 days so I could come to a fair
judgement.
I used the
brush on the sensitive setting for the first 5 days, yes that’s right, it has a
sensitive setting for all of us sensitive skin types out there. I put some
cleanser in the middle of the brush and used all over my face in circular
motions. Every time it beeped, I would move onto another area of my face. It doesn’t
beep when you are working on your cheeks though so be mindful of that if you
buy this. I was warned that I may break out but I only had a few blemishes on
my chin which cleared up pretty quickly. I am really amazed at this, the brush
heads are very gentle on the skin so don’t press it onto your face, just move
it around in circular movements and move onto the next section once the brush
beeps.
I was surprised
after 7 days, I really was. My skin felt incredibly softer, it looked clearer
and it looked healthier. Some people say you shouldn’t use products like this
but after using this for 7 days, I have to disagree as it really does work. I
felt like I was giving my skin a deep clean every night and I have to say, it
felt good. Going forward, I will only be
using this at night as I don’t feel I need to use it twice a day. Once at night
is plenty for me as it makes sure I have removed all makeup before loading up
on the skincare products.
Have you
tried the Magnitone Lucid yet?
Would you
use an electric brush on your skin?
Oh this looks like something I would want, have always wanted to try this kind of facial brush and the price is not too bad either. Great review and that might make it's way to my Christmas list :)
