Pacifica 7 Free Nail Polish Rainbow Top Coat - Review*

Pacifica design products to enhance rather than overwhelm; to take you on your own personal journey. Committed to producing the finest quality products, the brand is the expression of a clear philosophy: Don't follow trends, follow your heart and the belief that romance, travel and adventure are all in a day's work! The company is acutely earth-conscious, paying minute attention to formulating the most natural, safe, and sustainable products.

This silver top coat (with rainbow opalescent finish) goes on smooth and stays put. Our new 7 Free Nail Polish is long lasting and void of many chemicals that one would find in traditional nail polish. Plus we have added a custom wide 100% vegan brush for easier application! 7 FREE is formulated without parabens, phthalates (dibutyl phthalate), toluene, xylene, camphor, formaldehyde, resin, and animals. 

I was looking for a glittery nail colour to use over the Christmas period and ended up coming across Pacifica's Rainbow Top Coat on LoveLula.com. The polish is super easy to apply, a little harder to remove but I feel like a Glitter Princess when I wear it so I don't mind so much! It looks great used on its own if you're wanting something a little more subtle but it also looks amazing on top of darker colours too.

Secondly, I've been on the hunt for a face scrub exactly like this one since going vegan four years ago. After a few years searching, I've finally found my perfect vegan face scrub! It's thick and creamy, exfoliates really well and it doesn't leave my skin feeling oily after use. The face scrub also has a really lovely peach scent which is an added bonus.

The Hemper For Her Hamper includes a face cream, a duo bath bomb set, a body butter bar, hair oil and a lip balm which all come perfectly presented in a wicker basket, making the Hemper Hamper a lovely gift! Each item comes with a little card describing the product, telling us its ingredients and its use by date, which I think is great. I also love that all of the packagings are either reusable or fully bio-degradable. Each product smells lovely and fresh with my favourite being Body Butter Bar which smells of chocolate orange, it glides really well onto the skin leaving it very soft. The scent of the Peppermint Scented Lip Balm is also in my good books and I love how it's packaged in a sliding tin. Unfortunately, I don't own a bathtub so I couldn't try out the Bath Bomb Duo but I can tell you that they also smell really good. The Face Cream is very thick and creamy so a little goes a long way. Lastly, the Hair Oil, I don't tend to use hair oils due to having oily hair but this would be great to use on any slipt ends that you may have. Overall, this Organiqua Hemper For Her Hamper would make a lovely gift for someone and I've loved coming across all of these new products.

The Deep Darkness Mascara, containing only natural mineral colour pigments, comes in a mystical deep black for irresistible, cat-like lashes with extreme volume. The extra-large power brush captures even the shortest of lashes, to give them the ultimate boost without any clumping. Formulated for sensitive and allergy-prone eyes and skin, it’s also dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested, so it’s ideal for contact lens wearers. When you consider how quickly eye makeup can be absorbed into your bloodstream, natural really is the only way to go. That’s what sets all of Lavera's mascaras apart from the rest – their natural and non-toxic ingredients – as well as high level of performance.

Recently, I've been loving trying out different mascaras to try and find the perfect one for me. I came across this Lavera Colour Cosmetics Deep Darkness Mascara in Intense Black from LoveLula.com. The brush on this mascara is really good at separating my lashes and applying the mascara evenly. The wand is easy to hold and the thick handle is a great size to work with. I find this mascara lifts my eyelashes nicely but not dramatic enough for me when it's used alone. Overall I'm happy with this mascara for a more natural eyelash look.

I ended up getting prescribed a gel to use before I sleep and it's been working wonders, so I'm a lot happier. With my skin settled, I wanted to treat my skin to a good quality face mask, I found this Lavera Detox Effect Face Mask over on LoveLula.com. Firstly, I absolutely love the scent of this face mask, it smells good enough to eat! I like to apply face masks before I head into a shower, as I find this an easier way to wash them off. The mask is easy to apply and dries within ten minutes which is great if you're in a rush. After washing the mask off my skin is left feeling a lot softer than before. With the combination of my prescription and this face mask, my pores have visibly gotten smaller, which is great.

The underneath of my eyes had been looking pretty tired lately due to not sleeping very well. But since using this eye cream my tired looking eyes are no longer. The skin also appears smoother and lighter since using this cream. My only downside is that it's pretty difficult to control how little product comes out of the bottle's pump, so I've put it into a little pot instead which makes it easier to apply.

The mask has a slight smell which I quite like as it smells very fresh and clean like. My skin's been pretty bad this month and this mask has been a saviour.

Benecos Natural Nail Polish Remover - Review*

For a long time, natural cosmetics had a bland, generic look, limited product choices and, generally, high prices. However, this is no longer the case because at Benecos we offer bright, modern, cruelty-free products all at affordable prices. Our products are natural and organic and our makeup range is filled with a variety of colours, so say goodbye to dull and boring and hello to the vibrant and dynamic world of Benecos colour cosmetics!

The natural nail polish remover is acetone-free, vegan and BDIH certified. It, therefore, removes nail polish more gently than a conventional nail polish remover.

I haven't used many vegan nail colour removers, so when I needed to replace my usual one due to it running out I came across this Benecos Natural Nail Polish Remover on LoveLula.com. Firstly, nail colour remover is pretty straightforward, this one works nicely to remove nail colour but it doesn't smell very natural to me at all. It does what it says on the tin really well but sadly the scent just isn't for me!

I first came across vegan brand Yaoh when I went vegan a few years ago. So I was super excited when Pete contacted me about reviewing a few of their new products that had come out earlier this year. I've only ever tried Yaoh's Mango Lip Balm before so I was really looking forward to trying out a few more of their products. I opted to try out three of the Body Butters in Orginal, Coconut & Lime and Tropical Fruits. I also went for the Tropical Fruits Moisturiser, the SPF 25 Sunblock, the shampoo in Coconut & Lime and both their Spearmint and Strawberries & Cream Lip Balm. The Body Butters are thick and creamy so are great for when you're needing a good moisturise. Whereas the Tropical Fruits Moisturiser is a light all over moisturiser which is great for the hotter months. A must have when going away in the sun is the SPF 25 Sunblock, as it's a great product to use when you're trying to get a tan. I find the Coconut & Lime Shampoo larvers up well and has a very fruity and fresh smelling scent which is great for any gender. And lastly, both lip balms smell lovely and are super moisturising to the lips making them perfect for the colder months. Overall I'm really glad that I got a chance to try out more from Yaoh's range and I'm happy that I have discovered a few new favourite products!

LoveLula.com have a good variety of Emani lipsticks and I ended up going for their Prismatic Duo-Tone Lip Colour in shade Bewitched. I've been searching for this sort of shade for a few months now and I'm glad to say this is the perfect shade for me. The lipstick is easy to apply and I love that you can wear the colours separately or blend them together for a softer shade.

It stays on well throughout the day and needs minimal replication.
