Hi Lovelies,

I am extremely excited to bring you the Face Theory Vitamin Superhero Skincare Set review. Reason being, my skin is in better shape than ever and glowing. I cannot believe how much my pores have reduced, they have practically disappeared. Let me tell you, that has never happened before. I got used to having large open pores many years ago and put it down to unavoidable circumstances. I had no idea skincare could change that!

The Face Theory Vitamin Superhero Skincare Set has brought me joy on so many levels. I began using it over a week ago and seen results within only a few days. I have sensitive skin so I figured I would take a while to get used to it. Luckily, my skin seems to have adapted well. I had a few tiny little red spots appear on my forehead and on my left cheek. This is par for the course for me when switching products or introducing new ingredients to my skincare regime. I wasn’t worried much and rightly so, my skin is clear and my pores are literally disappearing before my eyes! 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

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)

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

Facetheory Natural Retinol and Glycolic Acid Review

RETINOL AND GLYCOLIC ACID CLEANSER BY FACETHEORY

I happened to discover Facetheory products a few weeks ago and oh my God, I just have to say I am the happiest I have been in a very long time (perhaps forever!) with them. Here is my Facetheory natural retinol and glycolic acid review. Phew, very excited about these products and I haven’t done a review in a while now because I only believe in bringing you my best quality and top level faves. Here goes…

I have to say I was pretty sceptical about the retinol (pure vitamin A) as I had used it in my 20’s after being prescribed it by a dermatologist. The product I tried was a prescribed Retin-A. It originally made my skin peel and left me with redness so I discontinued use. I was told that was normal and continue on but I just couldn’t stand it so decided to try other methods. read more
