I was pleasantly surprised on the fragrance that will greet you with each spray whilst it instantly detangles for you to run a comb or brush through the hair easily. One of the important things you want from a product when using it on freshly washed hair is that u don't want it to weigh the hair down and leave it feeling sticky or greasy. I really like this detangler because it delivers instant results to leave hair feeling soft and looking healthier without any residue felt from the lightweight formulation. The only thing i would suggest is that if you are going to be heat styling your hair then apply any heat protectant after the application of the Good Bubble Grizzly Mane Detangler with Prickly Pear Extract will ensure the integrity of your hair. Add the detangler into your hair care regime that isn't just for children's hair but performs excellently for adults too! x Neil.

The Natural Beauty Box From LoveLula December Addition!

The element of surprise each month is welcomed by natural beauty lovers in the UK and international, when receiving this natural beauty box full with 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, 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 blue are not affiliated and are only used for you to find the products quicker.
One of the most important skincare rules to follow is to deeply cleanse the skin to get rid of any pollutants your skin has picked up during the day whilst also easily removing any impurities for a renewed complexion. The frankincense deep cleansing balm from Balm Balm is an essential product to use in your morning or evening skincare routine because they perform really well in what they are intended to do. I am a big fan of cleansing balms as they easily break down any sun protection products that are designed to stick to the skin whilst also depending in what they contain they have some skin replenishing benefits. The deep cleansing balm features Shea butter, bees wax, sunflower and jojoba to really offer an efficient cleanse and nourishment, whilst the added Calendula soothes, Frankincense rejuvenates and Grapefruit refreshes for an all-round cleansing experience. Applying to dry skin and removing with a warm flannel or muslin cloth, you can then follow with a second cleanse with a water-based cleanser to boost your skincare routine! Buy It Now
Once the skin is cleansed a face mask is the perfect at-home treatment you can perform to support and help your skin, depending on what it contains. The natures kitchen chocolate face mask takes the concept of face masks to an accomplished league of its own by offering us a face mask in a balm! No more dripping mess or too much product used, this dark chocolate fudge cleansing butter is a whole new experience you will love. Applying a thin layer over a dry face to ensure an even coverage and waiting 5-10 mins, you will reveal a milky texture when removing it with wet hands or a hot cloth. I was impressed on how clean my complexion felt whilst also it feeling hydrated and super soft, some masks can leave your skin feeling overly-stripped and tight because they work too well, this left it perfectly balanced! Apply weekly to restore a refined complexion with hydration and to enjoy that chocolate scent! Buy It Now
Treat your skin to the natura siberica rich siberian white body butter that is ideal to apply to the body after a shower or bath. Applying to damp skin will seal in the surface moisture from your wash whilst the many active ingredients that are featured help to improve texture and tone. Featured in the rich body butter are Altai Oblepikha oil, Cranberry extract, wild beeswax, Limonik Nanai, and Siberian and juniper. All the ingredients combined help to restore hydration, stimulate circulation, and provide the skin with an antioxidant boost that is essential in the winter months. Presented in a squeezable tube the texture of this body butter is quite thick and a little used does go far on application. The great thing i like about this body butter is that it absorbs quite well into the skin so it doesn't leave you feeling greasy or sticky when getting dressed and it helps the skin feel hydrated and smooth each time its applied. Buy It Now
Experience a luxury perfume oil, when applying the walden 'Live The Life' natural perfume oil 10ml from the walden natural perfumes range. Available in a rollerball dispenser, you can apply on the wrists, neck, inside the elbows and the back of the knees to take advantage of the natural scent. Opening with bergamot and orange, before the tuberose and sweet violet appear, the scent dries down to an exotic base of sandalwood, rose wood, and jasmine for a truly sensual experience. It is noted that some perfume oils do not start off with a huge scent opener because they build up their profile by your own body's heat, you can apply more to own liking though because of the bag-friendly size. I love how unique this fragrance is when applied day or at night and is a recommended scent you have to try! Buy It Now
The LoveLula December Addition 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, whilst 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 December beauty box is £47.00. Enjoy the selection of products for yourself, or buy as a gift for someone else to enjoy, when purchasing or subscribing to receive a beauty box to your door. I wonder what the January beauty box will contain and what products will be featured to enjoy? X Neil.

Rescue & Treat For Healthy Hair From My.Haircare™

Rescue and Treat the hair with natural ingredients from the easy-to use products from the My.Haircare™ range. Colouring and heat styling can leave your hair feeling brittle and dry whilst using the wrong products for your hair texture can leave it looking dull and flat. I have previously used the purple shampoo from My.Haircare™ and was pleasantly surprised on how great that product performed but what was my experience using the two products in this blog post and did they give me healthier hair? Disclaimer: The links in blue are not affiliated and are only used for you to discover the products, whilst my hair is coloured and i seek products to hydrate and improve condition.
Shampoo bars have become popular since they have launched because not only are they environmentally better by cutting out the plastic packaging, they are also perfect to travel with and use at festivals or the gym. The Rescue My. Hair™ Hydrate Shampoo Bar features 0% sulphates and silicone's but is still able to effectively cleanse the hair from pollutants whilst aiding in hydrating thirsty and dry locks. Featuring Aloe Vera, Prickly Pear, and Carob Seed Extract, your wellbeing is also influenced by the sublime fragrance of Bergamot and Rose, each time the bar is used. Working the bar into a lather (it lathers from the mild surfactant Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate obtained from coconut oil) work the lather into wet hair and the scalp for even distribution, before rinsing. I was surprised on how little i needed on application and after rinsing my hair it didn't feel stripped of its moisture because of the gentle neutral PH 5.5 of the shampoo bar, but perfectly clean and balanced! The 100% vegan shampoo bar can be placed back into its reusable box ready to be used when your hair needs a hydration boost, you can even use the bar on your body! Buy It Now!
Applying a conditioner to the hair after shampooing is essential to reduce friction and damage whilst also helping the hair retain moisture. All conditioners help smooth the cuticle down on each hair strand to seal in nutrients and boost shine because the hair strand is helped to lay flat. The infuse My. colour™ Treat Conditioner provides weightless hydration, nourishment, and colour protection because of its enriched formulation. The silicone free conditioner features Neroli Extract, Tangerine Butter, and Sunflower Seed Extract that all play their own key role to detangle, boost elasticity, and provide a healthier shine to the hair. Squeezing out the excess water from the hair after shampooing, i immediately noticed how quickly the conditioner absorbs into the hair on application. Leaving for 2-3 minutes for it to fulfil its maximum benefit, i knew straightaway from the first rinse this had delivered its promises when my hair was transformed to feel smooth and looked healthier when dried. The 100% vegan conditioner is the perfect addition to anyone's hair care routine whilst being suitable for colour-treated hair that is in need of a beneficial treat! Buy It Now! x Neil.

The Foundation With Skincare Benefits.

Long gone are foundations that just cover up imperfections because people are wanting multitasking products that they can apply quickly to offer more than just one benefit. Foundation formulations now offer more than just colour pigments to match your skin tone, they feature antioxidants and humectants (just to name a few) for easy skincare benefits with just one application. The Emani HydraWear 12hr Liquid Foundation is the prime example of this by using only all-natural ingredients to benefit problematic, sensitive, acne-prone, and ageing skin. Disclaimer: The links used are not affiliated and are only used for you to discover the product.
The Emani liquid foundation is presented in a grooved bottle design with a pump applicator to dispense the desired amount you wish to use whilst also having a 24 month expiry date after opening. Shaking the bottle before application will ensure the formulation of the product will have the desired effect when dispensed and you will experience the maximum benefits. Emani does have two skincare meets makeup primers that i have previously blogged about and if you wish to read more about these, the links are Emani Miracle 7 In 1 Primer Serum and the Emani Perfect 10 Primer Serum that u can apply before any makeup application. The vegan friendly and gluten free foundation features a host of beneficial ingredients and these are as follows:
Aqua, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil, Butylene Glycol, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil. Glycerin, Cetyl Alcohol, Octyldodecanol, Ethylhexyl Olivate, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Steareth-20, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil,
Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Mica, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Sodium Hyaluronate,
Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Extract, Helianthus Annuus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract.
Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract. Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract,
Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil. Cymbopogon Flexuosus (Lemongrass) Oil. Tocopherol,
Tocopherol (Vitamin E) Acetate. Sodium Hydroxide. Lecithin, Squalane, Sodium Acrylates Copolymer, Xanthan Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin. 
May Contain: Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) and Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891)
Applying to the face after your sunscreen or the product after this which would be your primer, you want to apply a few dots in the centre of your face and blend out evenly using your fingers, beauty blender, or a brush. The foundation does present itself as thick in texture but does glide over the skin easily when buffing and blending out to dry-down quite quickly. I was surprised on how lightweight it feels on the skin whilst providing a light-to-medium buildable coverage with a dewy finish that hydrates throughout its wear. Creating a moisture barrier on the skin it helps to shield from any pollutants and free radicals that can lead to damage and is the perfect foundation with skincare benefits for dry, mature, and even sensitive skin types! Available in 7 shades, i am using 212 Fairly Light which colour matches any porcelain skin tone quite well for a natural looking coverage with a healthier glow. Checkout the full makeup range with skincare benefits that you and your skin will enjoy with every application, x Neil.
