Lovea Organic Purifying Pink Clay Face Mask - Review*

Lovea Nature beauty care products use nature’s riches to keep you beautiful, the ingredients are selected with infinite care to guarantee maximum delight.

The Lovea Organic Purifying Pink Clay Face Mask purifies and softens the skin whilst harmonizing your complexion. Delicately purifies sensitive skin, leaving it completely cleansed and fresh. Active ingredients: Pink Clay (purifying), Organic Aloe Vera (soothing and healing), Organic Shea Butter (restructuring), Glycerin (hydrating).

The first product that I decided I would like to review from MyPure this month, was this Lovea Organic Purifying Pink Clay Face Mask. I find the product itself to have a sweet subtle smell which is quite pleasant. I like that the mask is easy to apply, to do this simply apply a thin layer to face/neck (avoiding the eye area) and then rinse off with warm water. Do this around five minutes later or before the mask dries on your skin, whichever comes first. After a face mask, I always like to moisturise my face with my usual cream to lock in any moisture that I may have lost. During the face mask, my face did feel a little tight and I had left it on for just under five minutes before it started to dry. When I washed the mask away I was left with a slightly red face, but not as much as I have experienced with others before, so next time I may leave it on for a little less time to maybe prevent this.

Botanicals Balancing Mandarin & Chamomile Face Moisturiser - Review*

Our aim at Botanicals is very simple: to provide a range of personal care products which are as close to nature as possible. Those that harness the pure power of plants. And reflect our belief that nature really does know best. Botanicals personal care and wellness products are blended by hand using only carefully selected natural and organic ingredients - and absolutely no petrochemicals or synthetic additives.

A hydrating daily moisturiser which is easily absorbed into the skin, leaving no oily residue. Designed to promote the skin’s natural balance, our popular moisturiser is enriched with jojoba, avocado and marigold oils, with a skin-balancing blend of mandarin, lavender and chamomile. Ideal for normal, combination and sensitive skin types. 

After reviewing Botanicals' Mint & Tea Tree Foot Softening Balm, I was kindly sent out another product to review, I ended up choosing the lovely sounding Balancing Mandarin & Chamomile Face Moisturiser. The Mandarin & Chamomile range is ideal for normal, combination, oily and sensitive skin. During the Winter my skin tends to get a little drier than usual but can still be oily, so I was hoping that this would sort my skin out. To apply the cream simply pump a small amount of the product onto your fingertips, and gently smooth over your face. I found that a little goes a long way so you don't need much to cover your whole face. I find the cream to be soothing and non-greasy which is what I always look for in a moisturiser. As I've said before, I'm quite fussy when it comes to scents of facial moisturisers. I find this cream to have a light and subtle scent of roses, which I'm quite fond of. Also, I still can't get over how great their packaging is, I just love how simple yet classy it all looks.

The Green Women kindly sent me two jars to review of both their original (women's) and sensitive deodorant creams. I was quite excited to try these out as I had never tried a cream deodorant before! The Fit Pit Original for women is lightly perfumed with rosemary and bergamot essential oils which are both said to sooth and lift your mood, I'm not too keen on this scent as rosemary isn't to my taste. Because of this I much prefer the sensitive one as it doesn't have a scent to it. I also really like the packaging of the deodorants as the glass jar is both reusable and recyclable. To use both deodorants simply apply a pea sized amount to your underarms with fingertips in the morning or after bathing. The deodorants then simply melt when contacted to warm skin. When using the deodorants I found it pleasant to apply due to the creaminess of them. I also felt like I didn't need to hand around waiting for the deodorants to dry and I was left without any white stains on my clothing. I found that I didn't sweat as much throughout the day, but I was left with a dry feeling under my arms at the end of the day. Bicarbonate of soda subtly alters your skins natural pH, which prevents smell causing bacteria from thriving. Unlike some deodorants it doesn't merely mask bad smell, it prevents it. And unlike antiperspirants it doesn't block your sweat glands, which means your body can still remove toxins, making it even healthier for you. I even got my Mum to try out these deodorants, she ended up really liking them and has been using them for the past few months now!

Please note: If you have been using a mainstream anti-antiperspirant, this will probably have coated your skin and clothes. It may take several days for this residue to leave your skin. 

Original Women Ingredients:

Sodium bicarbonate, Organic Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) oil, Organic Maranta Arundinacea Root (Arrowroot) Powder, Organic Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Organic Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) seed oil, Organic Aloe Barbadensis powder (Aloe Vera), Organic Rosemary essential oil, Organic Bergamot essential oil, Organic Geranium essential oil

Yes To Coconuts Ultra Light Body Lotion - Review*

Nuts about coconuts!

'A super light body lotion that sprays on evenly and leaves no greasy residue. This lotion has made applying lotion all over that gorgeous bod of yours so easy! This super snazzy formula contains Virgin Coconut and super-light Jojoba Oils which penetrate the skin in a way that only few oils can. It's perfect for those with dry skin that require intense moisturise.'

The first product I decided I would like to review from MyPure this month, was this Summer sounding Coconut Ultra Light Body Lotion from Yes To. Yes To Coconuts is Yes To's speciality range for dry or cracked skin. This body lotion comes in a plastic bottle with a spray nozzle attached for an all over application. To apply the lotion simply hold the bottle a couple of inches away from skin and spray over arms, legs, and body. The lotion itself is quite thin but it's very creamy and moisturising to the skin. I found that the lovely coconut scent lasted a few hours before it disappeared, which is a nice touch as usually lotion scents don't hang around for long. I personally think this product will be great to use in the Summer as it's very light and doesn't leave your skin feeling sticky or greasy after its been applied. The coconut scent of the body lotion is also a Summer bonus as it smells light and fresh. I really love the nozzle for spray application, I found that I covered large areas in one go so it didn't take me long to moisturise my whole body. Overall, I will most probably purchase this product again as I think it's a Summer must have!
