I have been thinking of getting a facial cleansing device for quite some time, and finally thought to myself there is no better time than now. I haven't been a wet wipe and go kinda girl for a few years, but I also haven't been a cleanse twice a day every day kinda girl either. So as part of my New Year Resolutions I want to take better care of my skin, and that means cleansing my face properly. Enter the Kathleen Facial Sonic Cleansing Device !  Designed for a deeper and gentler cleansing experience, Kathleen's Facial Sonic Cleansing Device (£49)* uses an innovative silicone brush with sonic pulsations of different speeds to provide everything from a mild to a deep and more precise cleanse. Suitable for all skin types including those with sensitive skin, the device removes blemish-causing impurities and dirt whilst gently exfoliating the dead cells from the skin. The cleansing device comes with an instruction manual and USB charging cable rather than a bulky plug charger, ...

Hairy Jayne's handmade Hair Perfume with added Heat Protection comes packaged in a recyclable amber glass bottle with atomiser spray, which provides a fine mist with every spritz. These Hair Perfumes come in three gorgeous fragrances: Floral, Citrus or Musk. I have chosen the Citrus Hair Perfume * (£22, 100ml) which is a beautiful blend of Grapefruit, May Chang and Jasmine.  The hair perfume can be used in two ways: Use on freshly washed hair before blowdrying or spray it onto dry hair before re-styling with heat tools. It acts as a protective barrier between the heat and your hair. The light texture of the perfume doesn't weigh hair down meaning you can reapply as much Hair Perfume as you need to throughout the day. I have found my hair has less frizz, more shine and is softer after using this product. I love the Citrus scent and do find myself spritzing my hair throughout the day to keep it smelling fresh. I would definitely say this is one of the top hair products I've u...

I can't believe it is already the last month of the year! I don't know about you but this year has gone in so quickly for me.  December's Love Lula Beauty Box* arrived on Friday with another great selection of full sized and sample sized products, worth a combined value of £50! Also included in the box each month is a generous voucher code for 20% off any of the brands featured. Let's take a closer look..... The first product I grabbed straight out the box is the new perfume from Walden in rollerball form (£17 for 10ml). ' Tonic of Wilderness ' has top notes of Bergamot, Grapefruit and Sour Orange, middle notes of Black Pepper, Cardamon and Cabreuva, and base notes of Iris Pallida and Ylang-ylang. This perfume is a lovely addition to the box and handy for popping in my bag to use when out and about. From Soul Tree is a lovely  Hand & Foot Cream  (£14.03 for 100g). Packed with antioxidants and moisturising oils of organic sesame, coconut, apricot and almond a...

Kiss the Moon GLOW Aromatherapy wax melts gift set * £25 These pretty wax melts and black ceramic burner come nestled among shredded tissue, in a black gift box with the Kiss The Moon logo on the front. It is, in my opinion, a gift set that requires no additional wrapping when gifting to a loved one. The set comes with 18 wax melts in the scent 'Glow' which is has warm citrus orange notes mingled with gentle floral geranium to create an uplifting fragrance that brightens the mood at bedtime. To Use: Place 1-2 melts in to the well of the burner & warm to release the pure essential oil aroma. For best results melt for 1-3 hrs. Please make sure you do not leave unattended or within reach of children or pets. The burner itself has a lovely design which enables you to glimpse the light of the candle within. The scent is strong yet refreshing and lasts in the room long after the tea light is extinguished. This would make a great Christmas gift or indeed a nice treat to yourself ...

REN's Clearcalm Clarifying Clay Cleanser * is a non-foaming, non-drying cleanser which actively fights blemishes without stripping skin of natural oils. Kaolin Clay absorbs excess oil and draws out impurities, Mayblossom Extract helps to keep spots at bay, and Willow Bark Extract helps to minimize pore appearance, while ridding the skin of environmental pollution and daily blemish-causing dirt buildup.  This purifying daily cleanser is great for sensitive, blemish prone skin, or even those suffering from the dreaded 'maskne' thanks to all the extra need of face coverings these days! The cleanser has a lovely thick creamy consistency, it is also perfect to use as a mask to target blemished areas as it doesn't dry out on the skin. Apply to areas in need of a little TLC, leave on for 10 minutes then rinse off and pat skin dry. My skin was left feeling cleansed, pores appeared to be minimized and redness was reduced. Have you tried this Clay Cleanser? *gifted to me to revi...

November's Love Lula Beauty Box* arrived with me a few weeks ago, but I've been so busy occupying my Springer Spaniel puppy I've not had a chance to review the box until now, this is my third attempt to do this post! 🙈 (pictures of my puppy will be posted soon) Anyway.... let's take a look at this months contents... A great selection this month and possibly one of the best boxes this year... I was like a kid at Christmas going through all the goodies inside! With 3 full sized products, a deluxe travel size and a sachet sample this months box is worth a whopping £67! Included in the box each month is a lovely voucher code for 20% off any of the brands featured, which I will be using for sure! First up is a new launch from Ooh! Oils of Heaven , the  Natural Cucumber Face Oil  is a full sized product coming in at £19 for 30ml. This cold pressed oil is packed with phytosterols, which support and maintain not only healthy skin but also soothes and supports mature and dry sk...

Rahua products are Certified Organic, 100% natural, 100% Vegan and free from Synthetics, Parabens and Sulphates, which I find is an important factor when looking for hair care products. Rich in Omega-9 nut oil which deeply penetrates the hairs cortex to rebuild dry, damaged hair, the Rahua Leave-in Treament * prevents hair from splitting during styling, blow-drying, hot ironing and combing. Some leave-in treatments weigh hair down but I am happy to report this is not one of them! This creamy leave-in treatment strengthens and protects, leaving hair with a glossy, weightless finish. To Use : Work a small amount of product through damp hair paying special attention to the ends, then style as normal. I found my hair to be shiny, smooth, frizz free and more easily manageable after using this product. Priced at £42 for a 60ml pot, the cost may put some people off, but the pot does last a long time as only a small amount is needed, even for people like myself with long hair. This treatment i...
