Kiss The Moon GLOW After Dark Face Polish review

Welcome back, my sleepy friend! Today’s share focuses on the amazing Kiss The Moon GLOW After Dark Face Polish – a skin smoothing sugar exfoliator to boost your mood and soften your skin before bed. I’m also reviewing the DREAM After Dark Sleep Balm – a sleep inducing pulse point balm with lavender. My love for Kiss The Moon runs deep, with its natural nighttime aromatherapy products dedicated to helping us get a beautiful night’s sleep. I love the brand’s focus on emotional wellbeing to improve sleep and make us feel whole again. Founder Jo is a woman on a mission to help us get our sleep back on track! Since falling head over heels with their LOVE Night Cream for Hands, and later the GLOW After Dark Face Oil and gorgeous rosewood Kiss The Moon Candle, I’ve been slowly adding to my Kiss the Moon collection. I hope you…

Antipodes Culture Probiotic Night Cream review

Welcome back, lover of fine skincare! Today in the spotlight is the brand new Antipodes Culture Probiotic Night Cream, which I was so kindly gifted by Antipodes and came in a beautiful Antipodes Culture Gift Set! I’m a long term lover of Antipodes so it’s always exciting when they launch a new product. And I was super excited to try this hydrating night cream with good bacteria and hyaluronic acid that promises calmer, more hydrated, and healthier-looking skin by morning. Just look at this gorgeous Culture Gift Set, which also contains two of my long term Antipodes loves – the Halo Brightening Mask and Divine Face Oil. Together, the products in the kit aim to bring us healthier looking skin with the help of native New Zealand ingredients. What a trio for brighter, hydrated, and happier skin!

John Masters Organics: brand review

Welcome back, my beauty friend! Let me tell you all about the natural beauty brand that’s transformed my lockdown hair and skin. Have you heard of John Masters Organics before? The brand creates salon-worthy, effective haircare and skincare products using only organic and natural ingredients. When you look and feel your very best, your beauty speaks for itself. As a leading stylist in New York in the 90s, John Masters was part of an early clean beauty revolution. Because, as his success as a stylist increased, so too did his awareness that the harsh chemicals used in the salon industry may be causing himself, his clients, and the wider world harm. John Masters knew that nature is the best source for clean beauty, so in 1991 he founded his range of haircare products for a gentler and cleaner way to care for hair. In 2019, the brand launched a range…

Mother’s Day Gifting Under £50

Welcome back, beauty lover! And Mother, if you’re reading this please stop reading now! I’m sharing gifts for you in my Mother’s Day gifting under £50! Mother’s Day is almost here, and it’s time to honour the beautiful human that brought me into this world. My poor mum has had a terrible few months. Not only is she stuck in this miserable lockdown with the rest of us, but since November she’s been in serious chronic pain, resulting in a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. This Mother’s Day, I really want to cheer her up and encourage her to put her feet up and relax with some beautiful goodies. I love a mix of high end and good value natural beauty treats. I picked up a luxury body care gift set, lipstick, sheet mask, toner, and a pretty-in-pink multitasking balm bar – all for under £50! Let’s take a look what…

Poppy’s Natural Skincare for dry skin

Welcome back, skincare friend! Today the focus is on a very lovely brand I’ve known about for a while but only recently had the pleasure of trying – it’s Poppy’s Natural Skincare! I was over the moon when Poppy introduced herself over on Instagram. We chatted about skincare and my skin, which was lovely. Poppy very kindly asked if I’d like to try her award winning natural skincare. Of course, I jumped at the chance. And when it came to Poppy’s attention that I have psoriasis on my scalp (currently under control), elbows (a little sore) and eczema on my hands (water filled blisters, itchiness, redness, soreness), she was eager to talk with me on the phone about my skin conditions. Of course it was lovely to chat with Poppy on the phone and our conversation went beyond skincare into family, work and more. It was interesting to learn how…

Vetiver skincare – 3 earthy & grounding beauty products to try

Welcome back, my dear friend! Today I’m focusing on vetiver skincare! Have you heard of vetiver before? You’ve probably seen vetiver oil mentioned in ingredients lists. Its INCI listing is vetiveria zizanoides. Vetiver is a perennial grass similar to other fragrant grasses such as lemongrass, citronella and palmarosa. It’s native to India, and its major producers include Haiti, India, Indonesia, and Réunion. (source: Wikipedia) Its essential oil is derived from its fibrous roots which are cleaned, dried and distilled to produce the oil. (source: Soil) What does vetiver smell like? To me, it’s warm, earthy, green, woody, and smoky. It’s a bit like a plant hug from some ancient tree in a damp forest. Vetiver is a traditionally masculine fragrance. Its grounding notes draw me in and comfort me; perfect in these times of uncertainty. By treesftf – CC BY 2.0 Think you haven’t experienced vetiver before? You’re likely mistaken.…

Re:connection Skincare Slow Down Sunday Body Butter

Hello, my dear friend! Are you a fan of body butter? I love its sumptuous richness for winter skin. And today, I’m sharing my latest discovery – Re:connection Skincare Slow Down Sunday Body Butter! Don’t you just love the name, Slow Down Sunday? It really captures the essence of this natural and organic skincare brand with their focus on reconnecting with ourselves through skincare. Back in November I tried Re:connection Skincare for the first time when I reviewed the Restoring Facial Serum. I remain impressed by this wonderful facial oil, and I knew Slow Down Sunday Body Butter would impress me too. We hope our products will serve you as means to slow down, explore and listen to your body. Slow Down Sunday will certainly bring a moment of reconnection.
