Tropic Skincare Haul

This month I was invited to a Tropic Party. I was told it was like a Partylite party, but instead of candles it was skincare and make-up and seeing as I liked both I said a big fat yes! 

The layout of the party is similar to a Partylite party. You invite your family and friends round, provide the drinks and the nibbles and a representative comes from the company with a big bag of goodies and lays them out on a table infront of you and presents the products to you. It's a great way of shopping as it gives you a chance to "try before you buy". But on the other hand this is also quite dangerous if your a beauty addict like myself. 

The brand was founded by Susan Ma (she was one of the contestants in 2010's The Apprentice) and has been backed by non other than Lord Alan Sugar! 

The Tropic catalogue was placed in front of me... "Our products are derived from 100% pure plant extracts, are honestly priced, and are naturally effective on all skin types". 

... and there were lots of goodies inside from Skin Care to Body Care to Make Up and Brushes and Accessories. 

The products are Vegan Society Apprived, Animal Friendly, Made with natural plant extracts and are free from mineral oils, unsustainable palm oils, parabens, SLS, petrochemicals, MIT, alcohol, synthetic fragrences and harsh preservatives. 

One of the first things we were shown was the Smoothing Cleanser & Organic Bamboo Cloth (£15.00 120ml) which is enriched with Eucalyptus, Green Tea, Avacado and Chamomile. "This luxuriously indulgent spa facial kit contains our creamy Smoothing Cleanser; bursting with Avacados & Jojoba, it effortlessly melts away make up and impurities while pure Eucalyptus essentials oils uplifts and refreshes your senses. Combine with our super soft 100% Organic Bamboo Cloth to buff away dead skin cells and reveal a fresh and radiant complexion". I definitely did not need another cleanser but OMG the smell of this is truly amazing! And I ended up buying the set. Everyone that I have shown this to also loves the natural fragrence, it really is amazing. I could smell it aaaaallll day! 

Something that I have been searching for is a good waterproof / smudge proof eye-liner to take with me to Florida. I thought I had found a good one in the form of Collections gel liner but along came this one. The Silk Gel Liner in Film Noir (£14.00 1.8g) is claimed to be waterproof, smudgeproof and bulletproof. "With the softness of a gel and the precision of a pencil, our Silk Gel Liner is both versatile & long lasting. Create dramatic sharp lines or a sensual, smoky look with the unique silicon smudge tip. Enriched with Vitmain E, Coconut & Calendula Flower Oil, it conditions & protects your lash line". I tested this out at the party by drawing a line on the back of hand, I then left it until much later in the night. I then did the wet finger smudge test and it did not budge! At that point I swiftly picked up my pen and added it onto my order form. The liner is also available in a dark grey called Slate and a brown called Rich Chocolate.  

I did behave myself and only bought these two items however I am planning on hosting a party later on in the year an will no doubt buy more. Similarly to Partylite, depending on how much your guests buy you get 15% of the value of sales to spend on Tropic products of your choice! Pretty good deal. 

I will be going a review on both of these products shortly once I've used them a few more times. For more information on Tropic and how you can host a party or become an ambassador check out their website at www.tropicskincare.com.
