Dream Dots Review

I have heard loads about these little dots and have been dying to get my hands on them. So it was perfect seeing them being sold at the Irish Beauty show and I picked up a box and so did my sister as they where being sold as two boxes for €15. I thought I'd start off with a little information about them first then about what I thought of them.



What it says:
  • Overnight treatment patches for spots.
  • Clears breakouts, calms, purify, heals, protects helps with fast recovery.
  • Suggests using dream dots for 1 to 3 days at night.
  • The dot turns white overnight.
How to use:
  • Clean the skin before applying the patch.
  • Cover the affected area with a Dream Dot.
  • Leave overnight.
  • To remove the Dream Dots extend the borders slowly away from the skin.
  • Cleanse and dry affected area.
My thoughts:

I used these on two different spots. One that had broken out a couple of days and another that had just popped up over the day. I wanted to see how they worked with different stages of spots. This is how I got on.

Before bed I cleaned my face and then applied the Dream Dots. I thought they might fall off at night but they didn't move at all. One of them was right beside my lip and I could kind of notice it but the one on my chin I completely forgot was there. 

The next morning the one on my chin, which was the new spot was like the packaging says white. The other one however not so much. When I removed the dots the older spot wasn't much different but the newly broken out spot was a lot smaller and less angry looking. I used them again the next night and the same thing happened. The newly broken out spot is now almost gone which usually takes a week to go down and leaves a red mark but after two night it's just a little red mark.

 For me it doesn't seem to work for spots that are already there, but saying that it might for someone else just not for me.  There are 24 in the pack and I'll be keeping them close by for when I see a new one appearing. I can see these coming in handy when typically I breakout just before an event or night out. They definitely decreased the time of my spot which I love.

Brush Egg Review


This little brush cleaning tool I picked up on ebay is great. I hate cleaning my brushes but it's something that has to be done and I am quite picky about clean brushes. 

This Brush Egg was only €1.30 so instantly thought well I give it a go and see if it's any good. Luckily it is good and I got it at a great price. 

It's so simple to use and really cleans the bristles of the brushes properly, getting all the make up out of there. The idea of this is that you put this on your fingers and then using shampoo or whatever you prefer to clean your brushes with rub the brush against the little bumps to get right into the brush to clean it properly. Then doing the same run it under the tap to rinse it all out. 

That's it its all clean and so simple. It's very small and looks great for throwing into a makeup bag for travelling which I really like about it. 

It did however take two to three weeks to arrive which is kinda normal for ebay stuff but when it did arrive it only contained four in the package not the five I ordered, I am getting onto them about that as it's probably just a mistake. Other then that I have now faults with it at all I really do like this little thing.

Argan Oil Night Repair Serum


I've been using this night repair serum for the past two weeks now. I found it in the Euro General shop for €1.50. Seriously I'm starting to love this shop. 

I really like the packaging of this. It comes in a little glass bottle with a dropper. It recommends applying a few drops to a clean face and neck. I've been using about 4 to 5 drops and gently massaging it into my face and neck. The serum is light but not greasy. It doesn't disappear into the skin straight away. It feels like a night cream on my skin. A little goes along way with this serum and I am less then half way through the bottle even after using it a couple of weeks. 

I find my skin is very soft and hydrating by the morning, which helps me when applying my make-up. I usually have dry skin and can take me a while for my make-up to look right but not with this serum. 

I  would recommend this as an alternative to a night cream. Although it doesn't work miracles in terms of repairing my skin it is still early days and I have high hopes for it after maybe a month or so. It does do an amazing job of hydrating my skin which helps the appearance of my skin look smoother and it feels it too especially around my eyes where the eczema has really effected, and all for a €1.50 price tag.
