Miss Sporty So Energetic Foundation (01 light) £3.49


I bought this lovely foundation after swatching it in Superdrug and finding it to be a really good match.  It’s a lovely colour, not orange at all. 


I have trouble finding foundations to match my paler skin, but it applies as a light coverage with an instant dewy glow to the skin. By working into the skin with fingertips, my skins look radiant and smooth. The final look is really natural which I like.


I find Miss Sporty cosmetics to be a bit hit and miss but a wonderful product in my opinion, really great value too. I think I will be repurchasing!

Superdrug Hand Therapy hand and nail cream 30ml (79p or 4 for 3 offer)


I’ve been looking for a quality hand and nail cream for a while as brands I’ve used in the past have been a little harsh on the skin. This product is really gentle, including lots of essential vitamins to strengthen and condition.


I really enjoyed using this hand lotion, the scent was extremely pleasant, not overpowering at all. It is not too oily and sinks into the skin almost immediately.


I found it easy to dispense a small bit onto your hands. The packaging is attractive and the 30ml bottle is particularly useful to pop in your bag.  


The price is extremely affordable, a complete bargain! Just shows you don’t have to spend too much, a brilliant product that I highly recommend!

Miss Sporty Clear Nail Polish £1.99


Unfortunately I found this did not work as well as a top coat as it when applying it over another colour polish, the colour polish came off even after I has waited for it to dry.


I don’t know if this was because of the colour nail polish or whether the quality of this clear polish was poor. However I only paid £1.99 suggesting it might have been a poor quality product.

Despite this it works nicely applied on its own. This nail polish works well on the nails to give a natural shine, making your nails look healthy and lovely. I’ve used this polish on its own a number of times now.



My overall impression is its quite good value for what you are getting but if you are looking for a quality top coat, I suggest a more expensive brand.

Superdrug Orange and Satsuma Shower Gel 75ml (69p or 4 for 3 offer)


The product was a pleasure to use and it really woke me up in the shower. The scent is amazing, very fruity and uplifting. The liquid was quite gooey and foamed extremely well. 


The packaging design was modern, clean and simple. I found the 75ml bottle handy for travel and the study cap made it very practical.

The price is excellent for what you get. Superdrug have brought out a range of other scents and are now available in the 250ml size.



I have high praise for this item; I might repurchase or even try the full size bottles. I’m eager to experiment with the other scents!
