Ermana Cleanse Balm + Bamboo Cleansing Pads

-

I have been getting more and more into using balms for cleaning my face rather than using washes or lotions. This month as part of  my Love Lula Blogger Picks, I decided to try out Ermana Natural Skincare as I have had my eye on the brand for some time now.





Ermana Cleanse Balm* which is available in either 15ml (£8) or 60ml (£24) has a lovely texture that melts onto skin when applied.  The cleanse balm contains a blend of Cocoa, Shea and Coconut butters, alongside essential oils of grapefruit and galbanum, as well as sweet almond oil and beeswax.
The balm is suitable for all skin types but it is advised not to use on broken or irritated skin. To use warm and small amount on fingertips to melt the balm, apply to face and massage into the skin. Wipe off with a hot muslin cloth or Ermana Bamboo Cleansing Pads. Skin is left soft and thoroughly cleansed. I did not get left with any greasy feeling on the skin, but a nice moisturized finish. 




I really don't get on well with cotton wool pads, I just hate the texture and feel of them. So when I saw these Bamboo Cleansing Pads* I knew I had to add them to my basket! The pads are made of a bamboo/cotton blend, and come in a cute drawstring bag with ten pads in the pack. They are so unbelievably soft! I've never come across a cleansing pad so super soft before, seriously so nice!They can be used dry or wet alongside Ermana cleansers for a deep cleanse, and then popped into the washing machine alongside your clothes. I would advise not to tumble dry as it does change the shape slightly...I had a few that slipped in by mistake! Oops! I would definitely recommend getting these if you'd like to make the switch to reusable cleansing pads. It's a win for me!

Look Fantastic Beauty Box - March Unboxing

It has been ages since I've bought a Look Fantastic Beauty Box but after seeing some spoiler pictures on Facebook I decided to use my glossy credits to get this months box. Normally the box cost £15 including postage, with my glossy credits it took the price down a little to £9.35. The box this month is has a lovely white and blue design on top with a pinky purple base, which I will be keeping and reusing. It also comes with a copy of the latest Elle Magazine. From Rituals is Cherry Blossom & Rice Milk Soothing Hand Balm  70ml (£9.50)- a lovely floral lotion made with Shea Butter and Organic Rice Milk, the lotion replenishes and rejuvenates hands. Rituals are always a welcome brand I enjoy getting in boxes. Eos Lip Balm  7g (£6.50) in Strawberry Sorbet - Not actually a brand I've used before, but a handy balm to have in the makeup bag. Probably not something I would take out and about with me as I find the shape awkward for travel, I prefer small stick balms. T...

Great weather calls for great sun protection with Alteya Orgaincs

I'm loving the great weather we've been having so far this week....has summer finally arrived!? With temperatures up to 30 degrees in Scotland and soaring up to 38 in parts of England by Thursday, sun protection is a MUST if you are planning to leave your house even if all you do is sit in your garden. Really you should be using an SPF product daily regardless of the weather...yes even if its raining! As an outdoor worker (postwoman) a good SPF is top of my list all year round but especially at this time of year! Alteya Organics Whole Body Sunscreen * (£13.40 for 90ml) is enriched with emollient botanical butters and oils to hydrate the skin and protect against damaging UVA and UVB sun rays which cause sunburn and premature aging. So what is SPF and why do we need it? SPF or sun protection factor measures the level of protection a product will give you and how much longer it will take your skin to burn when wearing sunscreen vs not wearing sunscreen. Alteya's Whole...

Sukin Blemish Control Kit

My skin is quite prone to spots and blemishes so I really wanted to find a product that would help to control breakouts and reduce the redness I have. I've used Sukin products before but never knew they had a blemish control range until recently. The  Sukin Blemish Control Kit * (£19.95) contains 4 products to help calm and clear the skin, three are 50ml and one is 15ml so decent sized samples, and handy for travelling with. Clearing Facial Wash purifies the skin while removing dirt and impurities with Quince and Pomegranate. Pore Perfecting Toner refines and refreshes the skin with Eucalyptus, Tea Tree and Mint. Spot Banishing Gel helps to fight breakouts with Willowherb, Salicylic Acid and Eculyptus, while the  Oil Free Moisturiser clarifies and balances the skin with Willowherb, Quince and Moringa. Willowherb is said to fight the causes of blemishes in just 30 minutes! And while I didn't see a huge improvement that quickly, I did notice a big diffe...
