Review: Rituals 'The Ritual of Nameste' Radiant Glow Cleansing Balm

 Hi everyone,

I have recently started to use the Rituals 'The Ritual of Nameste' Radiant Glow Cleansing Balm as part of my evening skincare routine.

This is my third product that I have used from the Rituals 'The Ritual of Nameste' range, and I'm really enjoying using it as part of my evening skincare routine. I use this cleansing balm as my first cleanse of my evening routine.

Claims

- Gorgeous soft cleansing gel that melts into an oil when messaged into the skin, & then turns into a cleansing lotion

- The gel to oil cleanser gently removes impurities, pollutants & make up, leaving the skin feeling smooth, soft & clean

- Helps to keep the skin looking refreshed & supple & protects the skin against environmental pollution stress

- Contains a face cloth within the box

Moringa - Contains a rich complex of nourishing substances that help make your skin feel moisturised & hydrated

Sweet Almond Oil - This aromatic oil is rich in proteins & vitamins. It is also mild, nourishing & soothing. It also helps to regulate the moisture balance of the skin

This is a lovely cleansing balm to use as it has a gorgeous silky texture that just melts onto the skin. To turn it into a lotion consistency you need to add a small amount of water,  as this will also make it easier for you to remove the cleanser with a face cloth.

This cleanser also has a mildish fragrance that disappears once you have removed the cleanser from the skin. It also leaves my skin feeling soft and slightly hydrated once I have removed it from my skin.

The face cloth that comes within the box has two sides; one side is really soft while the other provides an manual exfoliation. It's also really high quality as it has quite a bit of thickness to it, which gives it a more luxurious feel.

Review: OUAI Detox Shampoo

 Hi everyone,

I have recently started to use the Detox shampoo from OUAI as part of my scalp care routine, and I'm already noticing a difference with my scalp.

The OUAI Detox Shampoo is a concentrated shampoo that has been formulated with apple cider vinegar.

Claims

- Deeply cleanses away dirt, oil & impurities

- Removes build up from styling products & hard water deposits

- Leaves hair feeling refreshed & super clean

This is a lovely shampoo from OUAI as it gently cleanses the scalp and hair, but without leaving it feeling stripped of any natural oils. I've also noticed that I only need to use a small of shampoo to get the job done. This shampoo also smells like a luxurious perfume.

Once I have rinsed the OUAI Detox shampoo out of my hair I can already tell a difference, and that's even before I get out of the shower. My hair feels soft, clean and also very nourished.

This is a lovely product from OUAI, and I will certainly be repurchasing once I run out.

Review: Body Shop Ginger Anti Dandruff Shampoo

This is also an effective shampoo as I only need to use a small amount to get the job done. It also smells like fresh ginger - delicious.

This is one product from the Body Shop that I will continue to repurchase, as it is so effective while at the same time being really gentle on the scalp. I also like that it makes my hair feel a little more nourished while I'm using it. An all round gorgeous product.

Beauty Haul

 Hi everyone,

I've been doing a little bit shopping recently, so I thought I would share with you what I have purchased. Most of these are completely new to me and to my beauty collection.

Vichy Purete Thermale Fresh Cleansing Gel

I'm about half way through my current Vichy Fresh Cleansing Gel, so I decided to purchase another one. I really love using this cleansing gel as part of my Sunday skincare routine, and I adore how fresh it makes my face feel after I have finished cleansing my skin.

Vichy Mineral 89 for Eyes

I was looking for an eye cream that would give more hydration under my eyes than the current eye cream that I'm using. The Mineral 89 for Eyes from Vichy seems to tick all of boxes, so I'm really looking forward to adding this into my skincare routine once my current eye cream runs out.

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Gel Cream Moisturiser

I was looking for a daytime moisturiser that would give my skin a boost of hydration while also working with my oily/ combination skin. I've never used anything from the Aqualia Thermal line from Vichy before, but it seems like a brilliant line if your are looking to give your skin a boost of hydration.

Heimish 'All Clean Balm' Cleansing Balm

I've heard nothing but great reviews about this cleansing balm, so I thought I would give it go. I love that it comes with a little spatula to help scoop out the product. It also has a very light fragrance to it. I'm really looking forward to adding this cleansing balm into my skincare routine, as its been a good few years since I have used a cleansing balm as a first cleanse in my skincare routine.

Purito Pure Vitamin C Serum

I've been on the look out for a good Vitamin C serum for a while, and I originally noticed this serum when I placing my first order with Yes Style. This is 5% Vitamin C serum with hyaluronic acid, so its a little more concentrated than my current Vitamin C serum.

Mango Thai Lime by Jo Loves

This fragrance has been on my Wishlist for a very long time, so I decided to purchase once it was back on the Jo Loves website. This is a lovely summery fragrance, and it's an EDP concentration. I'm really happy to have this as part of my fragrance collection.

Review: OUAI Hair Oil

 Hi everyone,

I have been trying out the hair oil from OAUI, and I'm really enjoying having it as part of hair care routine.

The OUAI Hair Oil is a multi tasking oil that smoothes out frizz and also seals split ends for a high gloss, super smooth finish. It has been packed with African Galanga, Ama and Asian Borage oils to keep colour from fading and to also protect the hair from heat damage.

I really like to use the OUAI hair oil once I have washed and towel dried my hair, as I find that it makes my hair feel smoother and more nourished if I just leave my hair to dry naturally. I can certainly notice a difference once my hair is dry after using this hair oil.

Because I have fine hair, but loads of it I find that I don't even need to use a full pump, and it spreads throughout the ends of my hair really easily. This has got to be once the best hair oils that I have ever used.

Fragrance Review: Mango Thai Lime from Jo Loves

Hi everyone,

I have recently placed an order for my very first fragrance from Jo Loves, and I decided to purchase the fragrance 'Mango Thai Lime' as the fragrance from the Jo Loves range that I've wanted the longest.

The Jo Loves brand has been created by Jo Malone back in 2011. I love the fragrances from the original Jo Malone brand, but the Jo Loves fragrances are a lot more special as these fragrances have been created by Jo Malone herself.

Mango Thai Lime Fragrance Inspiration

The 'Mango Thai Lime' fragrance takes inspiration from Thailand. It evokes a sweet, sharp and zesty vibe from a lovely ripe golden mango which has been served with fresh lime and topped with a sprinkling of black pepper.

Fragrance Notes

- Golden Mango

- Lime

- Black Pepper

- Mint Leaves

The 'Mango Thai Lime' fragrance from Jo Loves is a 'Summer Holiday in a bottle', as it's so light and zesty. The scent also reminds me a little bit of going into a sweet shop when I was younger. 

This is a delightful fragrance to wear anytime of the year; and it certainly brings a sense of joy and happiness. A scent that will certainly put a smile on your face.
