Pumping one or two pumps onto the fingertips and then applying to clean skin, the gel texture instantly turns into a serum when applying over the face, before absorbing quickly. The natural scent instantly transports you to a kitchen filled with fresh foods, before lightly disappearing to leave skin feeling smooth and soft to the touch. You can apply a moisturiser and sunscreen over the top, but it is suggested if u are an oilier skin type then just apply your sunscreen. I love how versatile the product is by including everything you want from a skin care product such as hydration, improved skin tone, and anti-ageing benefits, whilst being light enough to use in the summer months and caring for the skin in the winter months. A skin-loving cocktail that you and your skin will love with every application, add the Nature's Kitchen Skin Glow Vitamin C Brightening Gel Serum in your skin care routine, x Neil.

LoveLula Monthly Beauty Box June Addition!

The element of surprise each month is welcomed by natural beauty lovers in the UK and international, when receiving the LoveLula beauty box. The monthly beauty box features exciting brands and their products that are available from the easy-to-navigate LoveLula website, while also introducing products to you that you may not be aware of to purchase. The selection of products you receive each month are varied, while there are many subscription plans available for you to choose from 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 in black are not affiliated and are only used for you to find the products quicker.
The first product in the June beauty box is the FOM LONDON anti-pollution hydra plump serum. I have previously used FOM LONDON products before and enjoyed using the old formulation of the hydra plump serum. Newly re-formulated and packaged, the serum still provides skin with instant hydration on applications, whilst protecting the skin from free radicals that can damage the skin. Applying to a cleansed skin every morning and night, the serum is of a watery texture but sinks into the skin extremely quick to leave the complexion perfectly hydrated and balanced. Easily use the serum on its own, or can be used with other serums, before applications of your moisturiser for an antioxidant boost for your skin.
Transform dry or distressed hair with one application from the AYUMI intensive hair conditioning treatment. Enriched with coconut, avocado, vitamins A and E, this intensive conditioner replenishes moisture and nurtures all hair type strands. Java grass is also included to respect the scalp, whilst quassia, lotus and lilac purify gently to remove any pollutants and product build-up. Applying to wet hair after shampooing, or used as a stand alone treatment, the rich treatment glides through the hair to instantly transform. Wrapping a warm towel around the head will also help the treatment penetrate the hair better, before washing out after 5 minutes for truly softer and healthier looking hair.
Sensitive eye sufferers can now enjoy high performance and hypo-allergenic make-up for the eye area. The NATorigin mascara & pencil eyeliner duo contain naturally sourced ingredients in their formulations, whilst still performing extremely well for make-up looks that last all day. The mascara has a full length brush which features bristles that can coat every lash easily for a natural lengthening effect. Apply the pencil eyeliner to create an intense colour, or smudge out to create a smoky eye effect, this kohl pencil is certainly a great multitasker for anyone's makeup collection.
Samples are always a great addition to any beauty box, to introduce a product you may not be familiar with and before you buy a full size. The MADARA weightless sun milk offers an invisible finish for the body, hands and face, while stating its provides a broad spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. The sun milk does feel nice on the skin without any sticky or greasy feeling, my only concern is that its an SPF20. It is discussed that the absolute minimum SPF that should be applied everyday is an SPF30 and your sun protection is only as strong as your highest SPF to be applied thickly. Madara do offer two SPF30 products that i have previously used and liked, so i will stick to using them. 
The LoveLula June beauty box arrives in secure recyclable packaging and each product inside is protected by the recyclable filling to keep your products in tip-top condition. The printed card inside details all the products included, while also including a voucher code that can be redeemed if you would like to purchase any products from the brands included, the total value of the June beauty box is £48.00. Enjoy the selection of products for yourself, or buy as a gift for someone else to enjoy, when purchasing or subscribing to receive a monthly beauty box to your door. I wonder what the July beauty box will contain and what products will be featured? X Neil.

Discover The Popular Tea Tree Range Thursday Plantation!

Tea tree oil has been used for centuries because of its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and anti-fungal properties. The natural and multi-beneficial ingredient used in cosmetics comes from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, a small tree native to Queensland and New South Wales, Australia.
The melaleuca alternifolia leaf oil which is known as an essential oil (tea tree oil) is extracted from the leaves and branches and are then added to your favourite cosmetics for there beneficial uses. Thursday Plantation offer a range of popular products that are vegan-friendly and cruelty-free, keep reading to discover more. Disclaimer: The links in black are not affiliated and are only used for you to find the product quicker.
The tea tree shampoo cleanses and revitalises the hair with one application from the 200ml squeezable tube. Combined with lime, lavender, and jojoba seed oil, this nourishing shampoo respects any irritated scalp to calm and soothe. Applying to wet hair, work the shampoo to cover the scalp and roots to ensure an even application, before rinsing with lukewarm water until all the shampoo has rinsed out. The shampoo is gentle, but is excellent in removing build-up of hair products and helping to balance the scalp, which in-turn helps the hair be healthy and moisturised!
The tea tree conditioner revitalises and adds body to the hair, when applying a significant amount accordingly to your hair length. Containing lime and bitter orange, along with jojoba seed oil, this conditioner provides hair with essential moisture and respects the scalp. Applying after using the shampoo, work the conditioner through the hair and scalp and leave-in for 2 minutes. Using luke warm or cold water to seal the hair cuticles, the conditioner instantly transforms the hair to a soft and smooth state.
The tea tree body wash refreshes the senses and gently cleanses the skin, without stripping or drying it out from its natural oils. Refreshing lemongrass, lime and orange wake your senses up, whilst aloe, glycerin and Equisetum Arvense Extract (Horsetail Extract) provide moisture and conditioning of the skin. Applied to wet skin in either the shower or the bath, the body wash slightly foams to cleanse and soothe, whilst don't forget to take a deep breathe to experience the natural aroma that will influence your well-being.
The tea tree toothpaste is a fluoride and SLS-free option for those who want to use products as such. Personally i like to use a toothpaste that contains fluoride as it helps to prevent cavities, but i did try this toothpaste to see what it was like to use. Containing calcium carbonate to polish and help remove stains, the toothpaste also uses tetrasodium pyrophosphate to act as a tarter control agent. Applying a small amount to a toothbrush, you will notice how sweeter tasting branded toothpastes are, and this is not. Leaving the mouth refreshed and clean, i can see why this toothpaste would be a firm favourite for others and is an affordable alternative. X Neil.
