Acorelle White Orchid Set | Christmas Gift Guide

Are you looking for a gift for someone that loves their natural beauty products? Perhaps the person you are buying for has sensitive skin or just enjoys using products which only contain 100% natural ingredients? Maybe they deserve a good pamper and to relax? The Acorelle White Orchid Set would make the perfect present for any beauty lover.

Included in the set contains the white orchid anti-stress eau fraiche and body lotion. Acorelle state that the essential oils of sandalwood and orange used in both of the products help to increase 'the feelings of emotional well-being through-out the day' and will also help to reduce stress and anxiety.
I feel that this gift is really lovely for anyone who needs a destress.

The white orchid body lotion is quite light. After use, the skin feels moisturised and soft. The scent is beautiful, with notes of pear leaf, cardamum, irisflorentin, hawthorn, patchouli, vanilla and raspberry. The scent lasts well throughout the day, and works great combined with the use of the eau fraiche. 

The eau fraiche is a nice alternative to a perfume or an EDT. It is slightly lighter than a perfume, but the scent still lasts a long time on the skin. The scent is beautiful, with the same notes as the body lotion. With regards to the claims to reduce stress and anxiety, I do feel that the eau fraiche has a lasting, yet calming scent. Having used it daily for around two weeks, I do feel that the scent does 'perk up my mood' if you like as it is really relaxing. I like to apply this throughout the day, and also on an evening when I like to relax. I love the size of the product, as it is easy to tuck into your handbag and is great for travelling.

Both products are made with completely 100% natural ingredients.
The White Orchid set is currently available at MyPure here for just £10*. You can also find more Acorelle products which are great for natural beauty lovers, on their website here.

ACORELLE SUGAR WAX ROLL-ON WAX WITH STRIPS

Acorelle is a body and fragrance brand which specializes in using only natural ingredients. This Month I feature two of their products, whcih I have used together. I am reviewing the Sugar Wax Roll - On, and I previously featured the Body Scrub.

Sugar Wax Roll-On - How Does it Work?

I was really intrigued to try this concept of waxing. The concept is pretty simple, and easy to do once you get the hang of it. To use, I simply exfoliated my skin the day before (I suggest using Acorelles Body Scrub - review here) before you get started. I then popped the wax into the microwave for only 15 seconds, ensuring all caps are taken off beforehand. I then waited a few minutes to ensure the wax has cooled down, before using the roll on to apply the wax onto the area of hair I wished to wax. I used quite a fair amount of product to ensure it covered the area of skin. I then fitted a strip (which is provided in the kit) ontop of the waxed area, applied pressure and pulled off the strip in the direction opposing hair growth. It was quite an easy and straight - forward technique once I got the hand of it. it is quite tricky on the first attempt, but I think as-long as you follow the instructions properly you will be fine.

The results were quite good. The product removed most of the hair in the areas which I waxed. The process wasn't too painful but it did pinch a little. The only thing I would say is that the sugar wax doesn't go far and you do need to use a lot on an area for it to remove the hair.

Of course - I do suggest you read the instructions provided with the product before using the kit yourself and to not just take my advice. You must be very careful using this product and maybe test it before you use it properly in-case your skin reacts to it. I must clarify I am no expert and I do recommend you read all the information provided with the product before you use on your own skin. 

The Acorelle Sugar Wax Roll - On Wax with strips is available from MyPure for a reasonable price of £12.49. I suggest using Acorelle's Body Scrub (you read my full review here) before using the wax for a great application to ensure of any dead skin cells are removed before waxing.

ACORELLE BODY SCRUB

Acorelle Body Scrub

If you haven't already heard of the brand Acorelle, it is a natural and organic skin and body carebrand originated in France.
I actually decided to try out this body scrub having read some good reviews of Acorelle products online. I thought it would work perfectly with the Acorelle Sugar Wax Roll - On (you can read my full review of that here) and they do work great together.

The packaging of the product is very clean and simple, which I really like.
I find the scrub* a really great product. It is very invigorating, as the product name suggests. It is gentle on the skin, helping to exfoliate it without making the skin feel rough. After using the scrub my skin feels so soft and clean. A great plus of this product is that it helps to remove dead skin cells. I love that this scrub actually helps to remove dead skin cells and exfoliates the skin - sometimes I find that the body scrubs I use do not have any of these properties which defeats the object of using body scrubs.

The scent of the product is lovely, it reminds me of honey and fruit. It is really refreshing and really helps to awaken the skin when used on an early Morning. You only need a small amount of product to exfoliate the skin, so I can imagine this product would last quite a while.

Where Can I Buy Acorelle Products?

The Acorelle Body Scrub is available at MyPure for £12.99, which usually is a little out of my price range for a body scrub, but it works so well with the Wax and I really liked the product. I think it is worth the money if you are planning on waxing or tanning, as this is a great scrub to use prior to both of those.
