A body lotion good enough to eat!

I have blogged about Sukin before; and I return again today to tell you about their Hydrating body lotion.  

Before I get into the nitty gritty of the goodies and ingredients - let me explain what this body lotion smells like...  It's a strong mix of Vanilla bean ice-cream and butter menthol lollies and caramel.  MMMMMMMMMM so delicious and sweet!

This yummy body lotion is enriched with an infusion of aloe vera, nettle, horsetail and burdock combined with rosehip, avocado and jojoba oils to hydrate thirsty skin and improve elasticity.... no butter menthol lollies or vanilla bean ice-cream.... you have to trust me on that one for the scent.

The body lotion is suitable for all skin types especially dry and sensitive as the ingredients are 100% Vegan with none of the following nasty ingredients...

No Sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS)

No Sodium laureth sulphate (SLES)

No synthetic fragrances

No animal derivatives

No harsh detergents

No propylene glycol

No artificial colours

No triethanolamine

No mineral oils

No EDTA

No Parabens

One of the other things that really stands out about this product as per all of there other products is that the product really does go straight into the skin when you apply it.  You know sometimes when you put a moisturiser on before bed and in the morning when you shower your skin feels all slippery - this is because the product is sitting on top of the skin and hasn't penetrated.  You wont get that with any of the Sukin products - they are made so well with such good ingredients that your skin eats it up as quickly as you can apply it.

The Sukin body lotion is suitable for all skin types especially dry and sensitive and is available in 250ml / 500ml bottle pump dispensers for easy use.

I love this product, the smell, bottle, label - pretty much everything!

I rate this product 

for hydration and all round yummy 10/10

Happy hydration!!    Abby xxxx

Organic mascara at it's best!!!

If you're anything like me - you would have at least 5 mascaras on the go at any one time in your makeup case..  One for day wear, one for night, one to make your eyes look ridiculously long and dark etc etc.  The truth is, do we really need all of these mascaras when one product should really do the trick.


Finally after much searching and trying and frustration I've found a mascara that not only does all that but it's also organic!!  


Meet JUMBO LASH MASCARA....

Organic wear^®
100% Natural Origin Makeup

100% of the Total Ingredients are from Natural Origin.

47% of the Total Ingredients are from Organic Farming.

100% Dramatic Volume & Glamour.

OrganiSoy® Moisturises and helps nourish lashes.

Eco-Olive(r) a natural antioxidant, shields lashes from harsh environmental aggressors.

I'm so impressed with this mascara I'm addicted!  It doesn't clump, goes on a breeze and is easy to remove and best of all you don't end up with that panda eye look at the end of the day from your lashes rubbing on your skin.


I took a few pics of before and after on my lashes - love the results!!! (Excuse the bloodshot eyes - that's what you get spending hours behind a computer blogging and trying products)


 (BEFORE & AFTER)

The only mildly negative thing I can say about this product is I find the tip too fat to get into my small inner lashes - I can get them but I have to literally head butt the mirror (this could be due to my age/eye sight ha ha).


Physicians formula has a large range of gorgeous products - I will be blogging about more in the next coming weeks so stay tuned.  You can buy Physician formula from selected pharmacies - I totally recommend you go and have a look at the range, it's huge and very professional too.




I rate this product 9/10

Have you ever purchased or been tempted by a home hair colour?  The shiny box, savvy marketing, the minimal price compared to the salons?  Well I have and I want to tell you about my experience with the new Precision foam hair colour by John Freida.

Firstly it smells like your getting your hair done in a salon and the smell lingers in your locks for days (you know how much I love all things that smell).  The website claims "Precision Foam Colour is the first ever premium permanent home hair colour that uses foam technology to deliver salon-quality results at home" and its soooo true.  The application was so simple you could get your partner to do it.  The thing that i liked the most was the foam consistency - no dripping or getting dye all over the place - it stayed put on my hair until it was rich through my hair.  Also I want to mention the gloves - they are actually proper professional hairdressing gloves, not those crappy plastic ones that are made for troll hands....very impressive!!


The Precision foam range offers 20 flattering shades the all achieving flawless, natural-looking results at home and it has never been quicker or easier...trust me.

for hair that hasn't been coloured before - all you have to do it massage the foam into your hair and watch your hair transform!  My hair had re-growth so i simply massaged the foam into the re-growth areas until i got the desired colour then i ran the rest of the colour through my ends for a few minutes at the end.  Now my hair is blonde so i did have to use a purple toner afterwards but seriously to get the shade of blonde that i wanted, it couldn't have been easier.


So this is what you get...

All in all this is a simple and effective way to get the hair colour you desire with minimal effort and fuss or expense.  I think this product is suited best to hair that isn't chemically treated already - I was super careful applying this product to my bleached hair and made special care not to get the colour on the bleached areas - only my re-growth.  The end result was as good as a salon could have given me, minus a toner - but that was easy with the purple shampoo...
