What Does The Asda Vitamin C Radiance Boosting Serum Contain? 

The serum perfectly hydrates the skin by including the humectant glycerin that also moisturises along with the Propylene Glycol and Caprylyl Glycol also included in the formula. 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. It's capabilities are to provide antioxidant properties, boost collagen, and also help with acne by providing antimicrobial activity and reducing inflammation. Skin conditioning benefits are welcomed by the Carica Papaya Fruit Extract and Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract included while also providing antioxidant properties to the skin with their rich vitamin and mineral content.  

Aqua, Propylene Glycol, Glycerin, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Polysorbate 60, Dimethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Acrylates/​C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Xanthan Gum, Caprylyl Glycol, 1-Methylhydantoin-2-Imide, Parfum, Polyacrylamide, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Hydroxide, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Carica Papaya Fruit Extract, Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract, Laureth-7, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Limonene, Linalool, Hexyl Cinnamal, Citral.

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.

The products featured are as follows:

Apply the NATURA SIBERICA Oblephikha Hand Cream that not only offers healing benefits to compromised skin but also has protection abilities. Combining nourishing and moisturising wild harvested herbs with a cocktail of replenishing oils, this hand cream will become your go-to hand product anytime of the year. Presented in a squeezable tube, i was impressed on how lightweight but rich in texture the hand cream is while absorbing really quickly to leave the skin feeling super soft without being greasy. Apply during the day when needed or just before bed for an overnight replenishing hand treatment your hardworking hands will thankyou for. 

Discover the latest product from MOI VERT which is their lemongrass liquid soap that contains the purest natural ingredients while being friendly to the environment. The organic vegetable soap base is enhanced by the added essential oil lemongrass that helps to remove impurities, detoxify the skin and leave it feeling refreshed. The all-rounder product can be used to wash your hands, your hair, or even to be used in the shower or bath which helps it to suit everyone's needs. Presented in a bottle, the vegan-friendly formula foams when mixed with water and rinses off easily to leave the skin feeling clean but nurtured! 

Protecting the lips is made easier when applying one of the many HURRAW! lips balm available from their extensive range. All their lips balms are made from natural and organic fair-trade ingredients and all you have to decide is which one you will choose. Featured in my beauty box is the "Lemon" lip balm that combines organic lemon peel oil with lemongrass to intensify the lemon scent while having antiseptic, astringent, and detoxifying properties. The rich emollient base of all the lip balms in the range help to protect the lips from drying out while each one having their own benefiting benefit.

Boost shine into lifeless and dull hair when applying the hibiscus & turmeric shampoo and conditioner from AYUMI. The shampoo slightly lathers to offer a thorough cleanse to wash away any styling products and pollution the hair can contain while the conditioner smoothes the cuticle down to aid in the result to be nourished and silky-soft hair. The vegan-approved travel duo work in harmony to nourish  and hydrate dry/damaged hair while boosting and restoring shine for all hair types. 

Soothe skin when applying the BALM BALM lavender face balm that combines emollient rich oils to calm and balance all skin types. The balm can be used on other dry parts of the body such as the elbows or heels because the ingredients are mixed with the main base which is Butyrospermum parkii butter. The oils included are sunflower, avocado, and jojoba that all have great restoring and antioxidant properties along with the Calendula officinalis flower extract that is also included. The balm does melt upon contact when applying while the Cera alba (Beeswax) creates a protective layer over the skin to stop moisture loss while also protecting skin from harmful environmental factors. 

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.

Giovanni HEMP HYDRATING Hair Care Collection.

Giovanni's HEMP HYDRATING Hair Care Collection.

Discover the Giovanni HEMP HYDRATING hair care collection that features a selection of products that utilises a combination of botanical ingredients to revitalise all hair types for improved condition. The color-safe, paraben-free, and cruelty-free products contain USDA certified organic ingredients which are Hemp Seed Oil for protection and deep moisture, Aloe Vera for conditioning and a beautiful shine, while Frankincense, Turmeric, Sage, Hops, and Chamomile all help to revitalize and strengthen your head of hair. Wrapped in eco-friendly packaging, read on to discover more about the Leaping Bunny Certified products. 

Giovanni Hemp Hydrating Shampoo 399ml.

The Lauryl and laureth sulfate-free shampoo uses mild surfactant/cleansing agents to effectively cleanse the hair without overly stripping it. 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.  

Giovanni hair care bridges the gap between natural and salon-quality for consumers to enjoy affordable at-home products. Discover the Giovanni HEMP HYDRATING Hair Care Collection available from here: LoveLula - The link used is not affiliated xNeil.

Lush Lashes Black Mascara.

Discover the new Lush Lashes Black Mascara that has recently been launched by Lush that utilises conditioning natural ingredients that coat each eye lash to build volume and extend length. The jet black and low preservative formula is a nice addition to everyone's makeup routine especially if you are looking for a mascara that has not been tested on animals while also having more benefits than just making each lash look darker. Disclaimer: The links used are not affiliated and only placed for you to discover the product. 

Why Apply The Lush Lashes Black Mascara?

Mascara is not only used to define the eye area by helping the eyes look more bigger, it can also make other features of the face pop on men and women while also helping to direct wayward lashes in the right direction. 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! 

How To Use The Lush Lashes Black Mascara?

The flexible wand features little combs to distribute the buildable formula easily onto the top and bottom lashes which effortlessly provides and holds your desired lengthened and curled style all day or night.... Incase you were wondering the formula includes CI77499 which are black iron oxides that give your lush lashes their dramatic colour.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm.

Effectively cleanse and nourish the skin when applying the e.l.f. Cosmetics Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm. The solid balm cleanser instantly melts upon contact with the skin to transform into an oil that breaks down products that are designed to stick to the skin such as sunscreens and makeup. Dispensing the product from the jar with the added spatula tool that arrives with the balm, you then proceed to use your fingers in circular motions all over a dry face (except the eyes, more on that later) to ensure an even coverage. 

Dampening your fingertips and then massaging all over your face you will notice the balm transform into a milk and then you can proceed to rinse the face off with just warm water or you can use a damp cleansing cloth or flannel. The great thing i love about this balm is that its a 2-in-1 makeup remover and cleanser that ensures a thorough cleanse while also aiding the skin with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and peptides that are included in the formula. 

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Hydrogenated Polydecene, PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate, Polyethylene, PEG-10 Isostearate, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Hydrogenated Sunflower Seed Oil, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Ceramide 3, Ceramide 6 II, Ceramide 1, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Phytosphingosine, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Water (Aqua), Polysorbate 20, Carbomer, Xanthan Gum, Cholesterol, Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Geraniol, Linalool, Fragrance (Parfum)

The e.l.f. Cosmetics Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm is suitable for all skin types and leaves the skin feeling thoroughly cleansed but without overly stripping it so you are left with silky smooth skin that feels hydrated. The only negative point i have to state is that for anyone who wears heavy eye makeup to avoid contact with the eyes and if contact does occur rinse with plenty of water, if you do decide to apply around the eye area make sure to keep your eyes tight shut when rinsing off. Check out the e.l.f. Cosmetics Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm with skincare benefits priced at £10.00 and available here: e.l.f. Cosmetics x Neil.
