StriVectin & Lanolips sampler

So lucky, the people at Trimex got in touch & I was sent a  lovely bundle in the post to try out!
In the package was some StriVectin product and some Lanolips! 

 Please note while I have been given the products I will tell you what I really think! 


Contents: 
StriVectin CC cream 
StriVectin eyecream 
Lanolips 101 ointment 
Lanolips 'rose' lip ointment SPF 15 


So first should we talk about Lanolips?! 
I must say I've never been tempted to try Lanolips before, I've always been a Clinique super balm lover or a paw paw ointment person- this product really took me by surprise and I'm really impressed. 
First impressions: When it first arrived, it was a cold night and the product felt really firm I really had to squeeze hard to get some out of the tube- within a second of being warmed on my fingertip I had a smooth, creamy, emollient ointment ready to apply. Lanolips glides on really smoothly and has a pleasant lip feel. I had one of those 'where have you been all my life' moments! 
Aftermath: This product improved the condition of my lips on the first use. I really like the staying power- lasts way longer than a paw paw and with better conditioning. 
Recommend to a friend: Yes! 

Swatch: Clear and Rose 

StriVectin products: 
Eye Cream 
Cc cream 
I am so so so impressed and will definitely try other products from StriVectin. The eye cream is a fantastic texture and I felt like I saw a difference in fine dehydration lines instantly and overnight. 
The cc cream offers spf 30+ and has a good coverage- see swatch for colour- it's neutral based which is best for correcting- see how it's got a little bit of a green hue? That my friends will take all your red troubles away! 
One really really important thing to note is that when you use such potent products as these- you must must must wear sun protection! That's the good thing about the cc- it contains spf. 

Swatch: As you can see a tad dark for white gurrrrrl over here but when I get my more is more spray tan happening, it'll be perfection 

All in all I really liked the StriVectin products and I would now go and check out what else they have to offer. 
Recommend to a friend: yes
