How To Use The Rose Tree De-Stress Bath & Shower Oil with Juniper & Grapefruit 100ml?

Presented in a beautiful presentation box, the bottle is glass (ideal for you to see before running out of product) with a silver head cap that you use to dispense the oil. Filling one capful and pouring into warm running water, i advise you to take a few deep breaths to take advantage of the influencing aroma that will fill your bathroom before stepping into and laying in the nourishing transformed water. Shower users can still take advantage of this luxurious oil by applying a little to the skin before stepping in the shower and reaping the natural benefits this oil has to offer.

How To Use The Awake Organics Sea Quartz Cleanser?

Presented in recyclable packaging and available in either a 15g or 50g sized jar you unscrew the cap off to access the product but try to avoid getting water into the self-preserving formula. The green coloured smooth paste should be applied to a damp skin avoiding the eye area while using circular motions to gently buff the skin with the fine exfoliators contained in the formula. I would suggest using your fingers when exfoliating rather than using a facial tool or wash cloth because you can measure the pressure used with touch to touch because exfoliating should never hurt or compromise the skin. 

A sweet aroma of orange, chamomile and coconut will delicately influence your senses while the paste transforms to a milk when rinsing with warm water for perfectly balanced and silky-soft skin when dry. Incorporate into your skincare routine twice a week or can be used daily depending on your skin type, 

the Awake Organics Sea Quartz Cleanser is priced at 15g £11.99 or 50g £31.99 and available from here: LoveLula x Neil.

Purchasing is made easier (link below) by visiting their online store, waiting for it to be shipped with tracking details, and then hey presto its delivered! Disclaimer: The links used are not affiliated are placed for you to discover the products. 

What Is Inside The MÁDARA Insider Beauty Box Spring 2021?

The MÁDARA Insider Beauty Box Spring 2021 contains the following products below:

The full-sized SOS Hydra Intense Rose Jelly is suitable for dry, dehydrated, stressed and problem-prone skin types. The oil-free jelly features soothing organic rose water with hyaluronic acid that acts as a humectant that draws moisture to the skin and retains it. Rebalancing the skin is helped by the Probiotic lactobacillus lysate included in the formula that encourages reduction in redness and irritations while also providing much needed hydration. The other hydrating ingredient included is lactic acid that gently breaks the bonds between dead skin cells to reveal a brighter and smoother complexion while improving the skins natural moisture balance. Applying the gel hydrant to clean skin every morning and evening is made easy by the pump dispenser and you can follow on with your typical moisturiser. I love the madara time miracle hydra firm hyaluron concentrate jelly that i previously blogged about but when your wanting to calm and soothe stressed-out complexions the SOS Hydra Intense Rose Jelly is an ideal product to apply.

A 15ml tube of the Vitamin C Illuminating Recovery Cream that helps brighten and revive lacklustre skin for a more uniformed skin tone and radiant complexion. Suitable for all skin types, the cream features two vitamin c derivatives which are Ascorbyl Glucoside and Ascorbyl Palmitate that both have antioxidant properties to shield the skin from free radicals that can damage while also improving skin tone and boosting collagen.

The other antioxidants included are ascophyllum nodosum extract which is a brown algae that helps to combat dullness and discoloration of the skin and rubus chamaemorus (cloudberry) extract that is known for its rich content of vitamin c. Humectant and hydration are helped by betaine, glycerin, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate while jojoba oil provides an excellent protective emollient for the skin. Apply on its own or after your chosen serum for a lightweight feel that works perfectly under your sunscreen to promote a healthier glow with its antioxidant rich and hydrating formula. 

Exfoliate the face overnight for smoother and plumper skin when applying the 15ml Time Miracle Reface Sleep & Peel Serum. The great thing about this serum is that it features the effective polyhydroxy acid (PHA) Lactobionic Acid that exfoliates the skin to improve a smoother texture without any irritation while also helping to hydrate and improve the skins barrier function. The serum also contains hydrators glycerin, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate with emollients jojoba oil, hippophae rhamnoides fruit oil and caprylic/​capric Triglyceride for improved condition of the skin. Antioxidants featured are tocopherol and ascorbyl palmitate while anti-inflammatory and soothing bisabolol is included that helps improve damaged skin. 

Apply to a clean face overnight, the serum has a cream texture that feels hydrating and absorbs quickly, though it is noted to not apply any other product for at least one hour after application and wear sunscreen the following morning, which you should be using anyway. A gentle but effective overnight exfoliating treatment that hydrates to reveal a smoother and brighter complexion the next morning. 

A sample of the Radiant Shield Day Cream SPF15 is part of the time miracle range from MÁDARA that illuminates any dull complexion for a healthier glow. Formulated with hyaluronic acid and Alteromonas Ferment Extract which is found in deep areas of seawater, both ingredients have water-binding properties to improve the skins hydration. The formula also features natural lifting polymers combined with antioxidants Vitamin E and Vitamin C while the mineral SPF15 is zinc oxide that physically blocks and reflects back the suns UV rays. Applying to a clean skin or over the top of your current skincare serums, the day cream glides over the skin easily and absorbs quickly leaving the skin feeling hydrated without feeling greasy or sticky. It does give the skin a glow without looking oily and the subtle rose scent soon disappears after application, but i personally don't rely on a SPF in a moisturiser i like to apply a separate high-factor sunscreen over the top to ensure maximum protection. A lovely hydrating moisturiser with a lightweight texture to wake-up any dull complexion to give the skin a natural but healthier looking glow. 

The full sized Velvet Wear Matte Cream Lipstick is available in four shades that ensures an ultra-spreadable texture with a satin finish. A rich and nourishing formula to respect the lips consists of shea butter and blueberry seed oil while the colour is formulated with pure mineral pigments for great colour pay-off, whichever one u decide to choose. Apply liberally for maximum impact or apply lightly for a stained lip look, you can even apply to the eyelids or cheeks using your fingers or a brush to buff and blend to bring definition and dimension to your face. The sturdy packaging of the lipstick will help it survive in your bag while the head cap is magnetic that clicks back into place to protect it, ready for your next application of the cool nude, warm nude, dark nude or magma.

LoveLula Beauty Box February 2021

LoveLula Beauty Box February 2021.

The element of surprise each month is welcomed by natural beauty lovers in the UK and international, when receiving the LoveLula beauty box full with organic goodies. The monthly beauty box features exciting brands and their products that are available from the easy-to navigate LoveLula website, whilst also introducing products to you that you may not be aware of to purchase. The selection of products you receive each month are varied whilst there are many subscription plans available for you to choose from (details at the end of blog post) to enjoy your delivered beauty box. Disclaimer: I received the beauty box free as part of the LoveLula accredited blogger program, this does not influence or change my honest opinions expressed in my blog posts. The links used are not affiliated and are only used for you to discover the products.

What Is Inside The LoveLula Beauty Box February 2021?

The LoveLula beauty box February 2021 arrives in secure recyclable packaging and each product inside is protected by the recyclable filling to keep your products valued at £39.00 in tip-top condition. The printed card inside details all the products included whilst also including a voucher code that can be redeemed if you would like to purchase any products from the brands included. The products featured are as follows:

Balance the scalp and hair when incorporating the Sukin natural balance shampoo and conditioner into your haircare routine. Free from sulphates and silicones, the shampoo utilises Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate to cleanse the hair without over-stripping it while nourishing Burdock, Nettle and Horsetail Extracts are combined with Baobab Oil to boost moisturise. The natural balance conditioner utilises a combination of nourishing ingredients (the same as the shampoo) but with added Sesame Seed Oil, Glycerin and Tocopherol (Vitamin E) while both products feature Sukin’s signature scent of Mandarin, Tangerine, Lavender and Vanillia to refresh your hair and senses.

Formulated for dry and damaged hair, the Nourishing 2 in 1 Shampoo & Conditioner Bar by Naturtint helps to deeply nourish and condition the hair to restore softness and shine. The Anti-frizz bar gently lathers from the base ingredients of coconut, cocoa butter and meadowfoam seed oil to cleanse every strand with the upmost care while the Argan oil provides conditioning properties. Wetting the hair, you can either slide the bar through every strand or create the foam in your hands and then massage into the scalp to distribute the product evenly. The aroma of honey will embrace your senses while your hair is left clean, soft and shiny after the rinse out stage.

Brushing and styling the hair is made easier when using the Bass BIO-FLEX style & detangle with added wood pins and a patented natural plant starch handle. Suitable for all hair types, the unique fluid design and premium natural wood pins helps the BIO-FLEX Style glide through the hair and smooth every strand down for a clean and even finish. Used on wet or dry hair, you can also use the brush with a hairdryer because the pins (made out of wood) can withstand heat from appliances making it a great styling aid to reach for. I have previously blogged about another Bass Brush and they really do perform great while once it's time to be finally discarded, the handle organically breaks down to create a natural fertilizer! 

Packaged with recyclable material, the Woobambo toothbrushes are a great alternative to plastic toothbrushes that take room in landfill and pollute the oceans. The biodegradable Moso bamboo handles are organic, sustainable and are NOT the form of bamboo that pandas like to eat while the naturally antimicrobial Dupont Tynex bristles are dentist approved and recyclable. The Bubble Berry toothpaste combines the polishing power of diatemaceous earth, calcium carbonate and silica that all act as a scrub to buff away stains and plaque while the natural sweeteners of Xylitol and Stevia combine with the flavour and aroma of the toothpaste to give it a likeness of bubblegum. The toothpaste does leave the teeth feeling clean but unfortunately it being fluoride-free, it wont help in the terms of prevention of tooth decay.

The total value of the LoveLula beauty box February 2021 is £39.00 while the many subscription plans available for the UK and International customers are varied but are excellent value for your money!

The Vitamin C used in the product is Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate which is a Vitamin C derivative that is more stable than pure Ascorbic Acid.

How To Use The Asda Vitamin C Radiance Boosting Serum? 

Presented in a sealed bottle, i dispense 1-2 pumps on to clean skin and make sure any vitamin c serum is applied to the skin first, before any other product is applied. I love how this serum is not too runny in consistency giving you time to ensure an even application every time its applied. It glides over the skin easily and absorbs/dries down quickly to leave the skin feeling smooth and hydrated without any tacky or sticky feeling felt on the skin. I did notice the parfum scent on application that smells of sweet oranges but soon disappears and there are four perfuming ingredients in the formula which are Limonene, Linalool, Hexyl Cinnamal and Citral which are not ideal if your skin is sensitive. 

I really like this budget-friendly serum because i experienced no piling or flaking off when applying other products over the top while the skin feels hydrated and comforted throughout the day and night. Add the Asda Vitamin C Radiance Boosting Serum into your skincare, priced at £2.25 and available here: Asda x Neil.

Samples are a great introduction to a product before buying the full sized version, the MÁDARA time miracle hydra firm hyaluron concentrate jelly does not disappoint. I have previously blogged about the full-sized product and the unisex and oil-free hydra jelly instantly satisfies dry and thirsty skin types by locking in essential moisture and reducing transepidermal water loss for an improved moisture balance. The great thing i like about the formulation is that it utilises specific ingredients to deliver what the product promises, hydration! I do think you should try and test out the full sized product that you can use over a few weeks continusly to feel and see the benefits this hydration jelly has to offer.

The milky emulsion texture instantly feels hydrating when working it through wet hair and gently massaging the scalp to build the mild foaming action. It rinses out easily to leave the hair clean from any styling products but also feeling hydrated and a lot smoother prepping it for the next treatment to be applied.    

Giovanni Hemp Hydrating & Deep Conditioning Hair Mask 147ml.

I like to apply any hair mask after shampooing because this is when the hair has been cleansed to allow any treatment to penetrate deeper and is not being stopped by a conditioner. The rich mask features little blue balls that disperse on application to wet hair when applying from roots to the tips, while you should leave the mask on 3-5 minutes for maximum benefits. The rinse out stage is when u know if a mask has worked or not and this one does not disappoint by leaving the hair feeling deeply hydrated.  

Giovanni Hemp Hydrating Conditioner 399ml.

Lightweight in texture you can apply the hydrating conditioner after using the shampoo or after you have rinsed out the hair mask because it effectively seals the cuticle keeping the benefits of the treatment you have previously applied. 

I have used it straight after shampooing (to see how it works) and it instantly helps to untangle and improve softness when rinsing the hair with cool water (not hot) for perfect hydration, without weighing the hair down. 

Giovanni Hemp Hydrating Leave-in Conditioning & Styling Elixir 118ml.

Elixir hair products are your go-to product to use when you want to achieve multiple benefits without having to use more than one to achieve your desired goal. Applying to damp hair i was impressed on how easily this detangles, smooths, conditions and defines your style with no crispy feeling you can sometimes experience with styling products. The hair feels and looks hydrated throughout the day or night and speeds up your styling regime for those days when your in a rush but want a good hair day.

Giovanni Hemp Hydrating Hair Serum 81ml.

Serums in general help to block-out humidity to keep your style in place while also increasing shine by helping to lay down the cuticle of the hair which aids in reflection. I was impressed with this serum because not only is it lightweight in texture it also provides nourishing benefits to prevent breakage and split-ends. Applying to damp or dry hair, it instantly absorbs to transform unruly strands into smoother and sleeker ones without any weigh-down or greasiness.

Applied with a full face of makeup to bring your "whole look together" it can also become your go-to product for those natural days you just want to appear groomed without looking overly done up. 

What Is Inside The Lush Lashes Black Mascara?

The Lush Lashes Black Mascara combines conditioning ingredients which are the fresh wheatgrass infusion along with the extra virgin coconut oil and Acacia Gum while the protective waxes of Rapeseed, Carnauba and Beeswax hold each eyelash in position without any overly-drying effect.

The added Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) also helps to hold each eyelash in place while Styrene/Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate Copolymer is a water repellent to keep the product on with little to-no smudging. Rosemary oil is also included to offer soothing benefits with antibacterial and antifungal properties but Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Potassium Sorbate and Benzyl Alcohol are welcomed preservatives to keep your product germ free, something you want and is a must when using any product around the eye area!
