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. 

My Pure, Rosehip Oil

Its that time of the month again when I review two products from My Pure who if you don't know by now sell a wide variety of natural skincare, haircare and makeup and other bits and bobs to. 

Trilogy Rosehip Oil- Over the years I have heard many good things about Reship Oil and the difference it can have on your skin. I have eczema prone skin which is very dry and dehydrated so this sounded perfect for me . This claims to reduce scars by 41%, stretch marks by 43% and fine lines and wrinkles by 23% while hydrating your skin at the same time. I'm currently using it on a scar I have on my face but haven't been using it long enough yet to see if it makes a real difference as that will take time. 

Overall This has made my skin really soft and a lot less flakey obviously it doesn't stop the eczema from appearing but it keeps it at bay and calms and hydrates the skin (I've been using 3 drops every night for the past week). For me this is definitely worth it. 

Secondly this month I decided to try something I had been eying up on the My Pure website for some time now, which is the Munio Candlea in the scent Jupiter and Limonioum candle - which in essence is Lemongrass and Mint scented. I have to say the scent is a lot stronger than I expected but it smells amazing it leaves a scent in the room without even burning it. The lemongrass is definitely  more prominent out of the two, I think it would make the perfect fresh summer candle, plus how pretty is that packaging! My Pure also has three other Munio Candlea candles which are currently half price for £6.50 which is a bargain.
