Hurraw! Orange Lip Balm - Review*




Hurraw! Balm started out of pure intent; a personal obsession to create the perfect balm: all natural, vegan, made from premium raw, organic and fair trade ingredients, complete with a bunch of natural and fun flavour options. They source honest, fair trade, organic, vegan and raw ingredients from reputable suppliers and are thrilled to share the labours with other balm lovin' individuals. Your purchase also supports legit fair trade, organic farmers and suppliers in the States and around the World. They're also gluten free, soy free and shea free, as well as containing no petroleum, parabens, preservatives, artificial flavours or colours. And with a wide range of flavours from Orange to Earl Grey and Lemon to Chai Spice, you're bound to find a flavour that you'll love.

Super juicy, sun-ripened oranges are what this balm is all about. One swipe of our creamy orange balm will bring a smile to your lips. We use not one, but two varieties of fresh cold pressed orange peel oil which pretty much makes this balm the bomb.

The second product that I decided to review from MyPure this month was this delicious sounding Hurraw! Orange Lip Balm. I really love how thick this lip balm is, as it makes my lips feel really moisturised when the balm has been applied. I found the balm itself stayed on my lips for a good half an hour after applying the product, this meant I did need to reapply if needed again though. The smell of this lip balm is lovely, very subtle but sweet enough to smell it after applying. I also love the shape of the balms packaging as they're specifically made to not slip out of your pocket, which I think is a great idea. Hurraw! have a massive range of different flavoured lip balms and I can't wait to try more of them.

If you suffer reactions to other beauty products, redness or irritation, or to changes in the weather then Yes To Cucumbers will suit you very well. The range calms and soothes irritated skin and helps rebuild damaged cells, keeping the skin well hydrated. There are no phthalates, parabens or SLS.

Yes to Cucumbers Daily Calming Moisturiser delights your skin with an extra dose of proteins and nutrients to purify and regenerate your complexion – while enhancing its natural, healthy glow with gentle, fast-absorbing hydration. Go on, get out there, show off that wonderful gleam and paint the town…green!

The first product that I decided I would like to review from MyPure this month, was this fresh looking Daily Cucumber Moisturiser for sensitive skin from Yes To. I've always found a good facial moisturiser difficult to come by due to my oily skin. Surprisingly, this Yes To moisturiser nearly ticks all of my boxes! Firstly, the smell of this product is lovely it's not too strong or overpowering as it has a very fresh scent of cucumbers. I wouldn't say my skin is overly sensitive but it can get quite dry sometimes. I feel that this product helps my dry areas without being too heavy or oily. The only reason why it didn't tick all of my boxes, is that when you apply the product it can feel a little sticky afterwards, it did end up soaking into my skin which stopped this feeling.

Yes To Cucumbers Sensitive Skin Daily Gel Cleanser - Review*


Yes To Cucumbers was created for people with sensitive skin and colour-treated hair to gently hydrate and soothe with their organic cucumbers, aloe vera and green tea. If you suffer reactions to other beauty products, redness or irritation, or to changes in the weather then Yes To Cucumbers will suit you very well. The range calms and soothes irritated skin and helps rebuild damaged cells, keeping the skin well hydrated. There are no phthalates, parabens or SLS.

Yes To Cucumbers soothes sensitive skin with organic cucumbers, aloe vera & green tea. This Daily Gel Cleanser is made from a 97% natural formulation including cucumber which is a soothing vegetable extract and green tea, which is a calming herb. The Yes To Cucumbers Daily Gel Cleanser cleans deeply, gently lifting dirt and impurities from your sensitive skin, leaving your complexion soothed, calm and clean.

The product I decided I would like to review from MyPure this month, was this fresh looking Cucumber Gel Cleanser from Yes To. This product is made from natural petroleum and is free from SLS and parabens! I was surprised by the smell of this product as it has a very light and refreshing scent. I like using cleansers on my facial brush and this product worked really well with it. It foamed nicely and didn't leave my skin feeling dry afterwards like others can. If you don't have a facial brush you can simply apply the gel to your wet face and massage gently in small circular motions with your fingertips for about a minute. Then rinse well with warm water and pat dry. After trying this product a few times I would definitely repurchase it again as it makes my face feel refreshed and the gel itself smells lovely.

SkinLikes 100% Natural Roll-On Deodorant - Review*




SkinLikes products are manufactured with just a few, well-chosen ingredients. All are clean and fully traceable from origin to the customer. Most (but not all) are organic. Many are food-grade, which gives us the philosophy that (in theory) if you can eat them, then you can surely and safely put them on your skin. The fragrances that we use that give our products their aroma comes from the plant-based therapeutic essential oils that we use. None of them are manufactured in a factory.

SkinLikes have created a formula that gives you peace of mind which has no sting (even after shaving), kills bacterial odour in sweat instantly, doesn't clog pores or leave white marks on clothes and is completely free from irritating chemicals. Using food-grade, plant-based ingredients and nothing else, this product as with everything that they produce have not and never will be tested on animals. Apply this gentle, natural underarm deodorant after showering. In extreme heat or when exercising, reapply for best results. The wonderful natural ingredients in this product are Scottish spring water, bicarbonate of soda, xanthan gum and a special blend of bacteria-busting therapeutic essential oils and nothing else.

After having my eye on this roll-on deodorant for a while, I was kindly sent some to review! Since going vegan, I've found it quite hard to get on with roll-on deodorants. Sadly I haven't been able to get on with this deodorant either, which is quite disappointing as I really love the smell. My only problem with this deodorant is that it leaves my armpits feeling really wet, even after leaving the product to dry. I did find the roll-on ball itself very simple and easy to use, which is a surprise as some can be loaded with too much product or not roll properly. Sadly I won't be using this deodorant again which is a shame, as I really like the smell. I do recommend that you try this deodorant out though as it might be perfect for you.
