Organic and botanic skincare

Organic & Botanic are a cruelty free skincare brand who use no parabens or preservatives in their products.

I recently received two products from the mandarin orange range a enhancing day moisturiser and body cream.

First up I love the packaging of both of their products so simple but look a lot more expensive than they actually are. They also came in a card packaging which goes well with their brand.

The first of the products I tried was the mandarin orange enhancing day moisturiser which aims to help keep skin fresh al day and protect it daily damage. This smells amazing you can smell it as soon as the lid is lifted orange is my favourite scent ever so I absolutely love the smell of this. I have really dry skin and have been using this every morning before putting my makeup on to try and get some moisture into my skin. I love that this isn't too thick and absorbs into the skin quite quickly, it made my skin look quite hydrated and feel so nourished. I honestly have been loving using it.

Next up is the Mandarin sheer butter body cream which comes in a slightly bigger 100ml pot. Again the scent is just incredible its so strong but not at all over powering, this is thicker than the day cream and feels so soft and smooth on the skin and the scent lasted quite a while which I find most body creams don't. My skin felt so fresh and healthy after using this. 

Although both products are more on the pricy side this is definitely reflected in the quality of the products they also do a amazonian berry and Madagascan coconut range. I'd definitely recommend checking their website out.

Kiel's Midnight Recovery Concentrate Oil

Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate Oil has be one of the most talked about products on youtube and blogs its been raved about for so long and after struggling to combat my eczema flaky dry skin I caved and thought it was about time I tried it. 

This Oil claims to give you fresher, firmer and younger looking skin by morning. As my skin is so so dry I've been using 3/4 drops each night although I would say for normal skin only 2 drops would be needed. The next morning I found my skin was a lot softer and the redness from my eczema had dramatically reduced, of course it didn't get rid of my eczema as thats not what its for but it did really calm my skin down which doesn't happen so easily. This isn't heavily scented but smells so spa and fresh like. 

Although £49 for 50ml is quite pricy a little goes a long way and the bottle will last some time, for me it's 100% worth it for my skin and I couldn't recommend it anymore.

I received a box to try from wantable who do a range of different boxes from make up to accessories making them perfect for everyone!

I picked a make up, I received a Eddie funkhouser primer, or me extreme mascara, pla beaut lipgloss and Vincent longo. I'm yet to try these products out but I was very impressed with the products which I received espically for the price of the box it's defiently worth it! The products matched my answers to the questions which is what I loved about this box more than most as it's tailed to your likes.

Nourish skincare

The lovely people at nourish sent me over some samples of their products to try, firstly I have to say I love the packaging the pattern is so cute and the tiny little pots are adorable and will be great to re use when going on holiday. 

Firstly the Argan skin renew I really liked this as I felt it left my skin hydrated which is always a bonus for me as I normally have quite dry skin. It didn't feel to heavy on my skin infact it left my skin feeling quite light and refreshed. I'm not able to coment whether it reduces stress lines because luckless enough I don't have any. 

The golden glow illuminating face shimmer was great, it balanced out my skin tone, left my skin looking healthy and gave my skin a very natural look which is always a plus for me.

The Argan and kale anti ageing hand cream I have used as a hand cream but with only being young I don't use anti ageing products so I also asked my mum to give this a try she loved it! It left her hand feeling soft rather than dry and did relax the skin, overall so far I'm very impressed with these products and would purchase the full size.

Scaredoo hair brush

You've probably all heard of tangle teasers which everyone seems to love, I personally couldn't see me likening a brush more than the tangle teaser or even a brush equally on the same scale. I was recently sent his brush by scaredoo who sell de triangle professional haircare brushes which look very similar the tangle teasers. I've tried these out now for a good few weeks and I have to say I love it it's. 2 in 1 so you can flip the brush to have different Brussels making it good for all hair types. It's gentle on your hair it doesn't snag and leaves you hair feeling beautifully soft, what more could you ask for in a brush? These are available in a range of different colours baby blue, salon black, pretty pink, prefect purple and sunshine yellow which I choose. 

You can find them at www.scaredoo.co.uk and on twitter at @scaredooUK

                               Would you consider buying one of these?

Topshop shoes!

     

I bought these shoes last week from topshop for £20 but with student discount I got them for £18 and I apsolulty love them! I've seen them on quite a few blog now and I couldn't resist buying. A lot of other shops have also started to sell similar shoes in different patterns to. I find them really comfortable although they do slightly squash my baby toe. They go with everything and I think they are perfect for spring.
