Build own box - Cruelty free beauty box contents

Are you looking to try before you buy some new natural beauty products? Why not build your own beauty box by the Cruelty Free Beauty Box? It is a really reasonably priced beauty box where you get to choose from a wide range of well-known and up-and-coming green beauty brands. There are loads to choose from and most of them are normally only available in the full size version. It is a great way to get a feel for new natural beauty products before deciding whether to fork out for the full size item. The trial sizes are generous and last a good while so it is great value for money. read more

Lavender Uses and Benefits (Wellbeing, Skin and Hair Health)

July 25, 2018 18 Comments

Lavender has many uses and benefits for the body and overall wellbeing. Lavender (Lavendula angustifolia) is one of the most common and well known essential oils. It helps regenerate skin cells, promotes healing and helps produce healthier new cells. The sweet, mild aroma has calming properties and is often used for relaxation and as a sleep aid. Lavender oil can reduce stress and anxiety naturally.

It is soothing and healing when used on burns, insect bites and various skin conditions in the form of the floral water. It has antiseptic properties which help promote fast healing and minimise scarring. It can even be used on stings, ulcers, wounds and scrapes for the same reasons. read more

Face Theory Pink Clay AHA Mask & CeraQuench Renewal Cream

Face theory pink clay mask and CerQuench cream

Hi Beauties,

I have found my new favourite face mask and I am so happy to be spreading the word about it! It is Face Theory’s pink clay AHA mask. As soon as I saw this I knew I had to try it. I love clay masks as they are the best kind of mask for my skin. I have combination skin which can be prone to the odd blemish so I always use a clay mask to help draw out impurities and balance my skin tone.

I had been hearing great reports about pink clay recently and was eager to try it for myself. I already use a French green clay mask so this one really appealed to me. I will just start by saying, I am a massive Face Theory fan ever since trying their Regencalm retinol serum and glycolic acid cleanser which I wrote about here. read more

Niacinimide, Biotin, Spirulina and Omega 3 Supplements

Niacinimide, Biotin, Omega 3 and Spirulina on a plate

I have been taking Niacinamide, Biotin, Spirulina and Omega 3 supplements for the last month and I have noticed great improvement in my skin, hair and nails. My nails are so much stronger and growing so quick now. I had been wanting to try Biotin for quite a while now as I am trying to grow my hair and had read that it is the best supplement to take for that. Biotin seemed to be expensive in most of the health shops but I managed to find a really reasonably priced one online to decided to give it a go. Obviously I won’t notice too much difference in my hair length just yet as it has only been a month but my nails are much stronger, I have had to cut them twice this month! That is impressive, they aren’t even breaking and I’m delighted about that as they were quite brittle before. My hair feels softer, shinier and healthier so I think I will stick with these supplements as my hair was very brittle and dry before and nothing seemed to be working in terms of hair oil masks and deep treatments. I guess I may have been deficient in some vitamins and nutrients. read more

Glow Time BB Cream by Jane Iredale Review (Full Coverage Foundation)

May 30, 2018 10 Comments

Glow Time BB Cream by Jane Iredale full coverage foundation

Hi lovelies,

I happened to purchase Glow Time BB Cream by Jane Iredale and here is my review! I love mineral makeup and have been doing a lot of research online to find the best full coverage mineral makeup for my skin. I have some redness and a few broken red thread veins around my nose so I need a full coverage makeup to camouflage that. I have become more confident without makeup since I have been noticing a reduction in the red marks and general redness of my skin, so for that I am truly delighted. However, I still need to have decent makeup and I have heard rave reviews about the Glow Time BB Cream by Jane Iredale with broad spectrum SPF 25. I have provided a link to purchase this product below. It is an affiliate link so if you make a purchase through my site, I make a small commission. It is no extra cost to you. Thanks! read more
