Docteur Renaud Raspberry Cleansing Water and Discovery Travel Bag

Are you still taking part in some last minute Christmas shopping? Or have you completed it all and fancy treating yourself? Docteur Renauld have now released their new Discovery Travel Bag; which includes everything you need for a mini pampering session at home or even if you are staying elsewhere.

The Discovery Travel Bag includes a selection of their very best face care products, including; Raspberry Cleansing Water, Raspberry Soft Cream, Raspberry Soft Mask, Carrot Scrub Detox and Apple Eye Cream. I have been using their Raspberry Cleansing Water which I am seriously impressed with it so far.

I have never used their products before so I didn't know what to expect. I really like using cleansers and cleansing waters to remove make up in my skin routine so I was eager to see how Docteur Renaud's matched up to the other cleansing waters on the market. I have only been using this for less than a week and have already noticed how well it removes my make up. It is very gentle on the skin and helps to cleanse and tone too. I have found that the cleansing water leaves my skin feeling really refreshed, and I am impressed with the product so far. It is also lightly scented which is really subtle but a nice touch.

I do usually trial products for a longer period of time before I feature them on my blog, but I have been so impressed with how well this works for me in a short space of time I thought I would include a short summary, and I also wanted to share with you the new Discovery Travel Bag just before Christmas.

 The gift set is brand new and is not currently available on the Docteur Renaud UK website. You can only purchase this from Skin Evolution by telephoning 01452 864574.

Lippy Girl Lipstick in P-bomb

Hands up who loves lipstick! I know I do. May I introduce you to the gorgeous Lippy Girl lipstick in P - bomb.

Lippy Girl is a 100% vegan, eco-friendly, natural and organic beauty brand. Lippy Girl lipsticks are made with organic natural oils and waxes, and contain only natural mineral pigments. The brand was created by ex-model and Chemistry Teacher Darcey Diehl, who wanted to prove that animal testing and unnatural ingredients were unnecessary in high quality cosmetics. 

Now, onto the lipstick in question. The colour pay off is great. The colour is a pop of pink. P-bomb is a very wearable shade for every day, but can be built up to wear a little more bolder.  The lipstick feels really creamy and soft on the lips. I have found that my lips feel quite moisturised when wearing this, and it doesn't dry or chap my lips at all. I found the lipstick quite long-wearing, having to be reapplied every 3 to 4 hours. 

 I would love to try more of the range, as there are some absolutely gorgeous shades and some really daring ones, too! The packaging is super cute also. The bullet it a sleek black with a cute pink girls side portrait.

Costing only £12.50* from Botanical Brands, I feel that the lipstick is very good value for money. If you are a natural beauty lover or just a lipstick fan in general, you will love Lippy Girl.

Botanicals Nourishing Face Balm

The Botanicals Nourishing Face Balm claims to soften and enhance your skin. It is made with active plant revived ingredients, which aid the skin to regenerate new skin cells. The product is infused with wild rose and rose geranium, which are ingredients which are known for their revitalizing properties. The face balm is made with 89% natural ingredients.
Having swapped a lot of my skin care products recently to products that hold more natural ingredients, I have really noticed the difference. For me, natural ingredients seem to work better for my skin as they do not tend to cause any extra irritation.
I must say, I feel that the Botanical Nourishing Face Balm* meets all of its aims and more. I use the balm at night and apply only a really small amount of product onto my face. Less is definitely more with this face balm; you only need a little amount of product for it to work well. When I wake up having used the face balm the night before, my skin feels super soft, smooth and moisturised.
 It is a great product, and I would recommend it if you are looking for a face balm or skin care product which really does enhance your skin. My skin is quite dull, but this product really freshens up my face making it feel and look more 'awake', clear and soft. As well the product working wonders, it smells beautiful too.
The Botanical's Nourishing Face Balm won the Green Parent Natural Beauty Award in 2013, which shows just what a fantastic product it is.

Botanicals are currently offering £5 off when you purchase the Nourishing Face Balm from their website up until the end of November! This is a fantastic deal as the product is usually £27.95, which makes the product only £22.95 when using the code. Simply enter the code NOVOFFER at the checkout to receive £5 off.

Living Nature Purifying Cleanser and Skin Steps Gift Set | Christmas Gift Guide

Living Nature Purifying Cleanser

I am a big fan of Living Nature as a brand, and I love their Skin Care products. Today's blog post will be featuring their Purifying Cleanser...and a gift set I think will make a perfect present for Christmas!

 I have  actually used this cleanser before as it was included in the Living Natures Skin Care Minis which I reviewed here. I really enjoyed using this cleanser so thought it deserved a more detailed review.

I love how light and gentle the cleanser feels on the skin. It foams and lathers quite well and helps to remove the daily build up of make up. I have quite sensitive skin and I suffer from a lot of redness on my face. After using the Purifying Cleanser* it tends to calm down a lot. I am often cautious when using new cleansers as I have very oily skin, and find it difficult to find a cleanser that suits my skin type. The purifying Cleanser is great for oily and combination skin.
Of-course a huge plus is that Living Nature products are all 100% natural, which is fantastic if you have sensitive skin like me. I really like this product and would repurchase in the future.

Living Nature Skin Steps Gift Sets

All ready for Christmas; Living Nature have brought out their Skin Steps Gift Sets. With 3 different sets to suit different skin types, there really is something for everyone.
Each kit comes with a 50 ml cleanser, a 50 ml toning get and a 50 ml daily moisturiser, as well as a few free samples suited for your skin type.
The 3 kits available are: Skin Steps to Purify Oily Skin, Skin Steps to Nourish Normal Skin, and Skin Steps to Enrich Dry and Mature Skin. All three kits are available to buy from Botanical Brands. -link

Included in the Purify Oily Skin kit is the Purifying Cleanser, which as I have mentioned above, is a fantastic product and I would highly recommend it.

I think these kits are perfect if you are buying for someone who is really into their skin care, loves natural products or maybe just to want to try out the some Living Nature products.
