Time for some primping and preening in preparation for my big trip (you know, the one I might have mentioned once or twice!)

I received these Aveeno goodies ages ago so it was good to finally have an excuse to try them out. First up the colloidal oatmeal bath, every time I mention colloidal I think it sounds like a nasty hospital treatment. I have to say the reality of the bath wasn’t much better. See video

I think it’s only fair to take the good with the bad so I hopped in and the, um, scum went away a bit, which was nice. The smell did subside a bit too, it started out like a hops smell, my husband thought I had started my own home brew in the bath. The result was pretty good though and my skin felt nicer afterwards, not sure it was enough for me to try it again though. I bet my bath needs a good clean now.

The moisturising cream was much better though, the consistency was quite thick to look at but when I started smoothing it over my skin it was absorbed really easily, leaving no residue or that familiar wet feeling.

I’m not sure where the cream was meant to go but seeing as I’d just done a facial scrub (I’m really ramping up my efforts in a bid to look half way decent while I’m away) I decided to put it on my face. All the products are fragance free and their selling point seems to be their ‘naturalness’.

Now to the good part, I have five of the sets you see above to giveaway. All you need to do if you’d like to be in with a chance of winning one is sign up for my newsletter. You’ll automatically be entered into this AND all future giveaways (no catch, just enjoy!)
