Timeless Scent, Organic Formula: Meet Dr Botanical's New Moroccan Rose Range
Whether you love it or hate it, there's no doubting that rose is a classic fragrance. Conjuring images of romance, elegance and quintessential English-ness, rose is one of those scents that can be both delicate and overpowering if not used sparingly. There's a good reason this flower has been used for centuries within fragrance; not only does the scent of roses awaken those feminine, minimalist sentiments, but the ingredient itself bears highly potent benefits for skincare. It seems as though many brands are capitalising on the benefits of Moroccan Rose at the moment, and Dr Botanicals is one to join the club. Their new Moroccan Rose range combines this classic, simple ingredient with a passion for cruelty-free and organic skincare. Sounds like a winner in my books!
Skincare That Makes A Difference: Naobay's Natural & Organic Products
Greetings again, everybody. Apologies for my brief blogging absence; dissertations and exams are so inconvenient, eh? Today I'm back with a good ol' skincare review for you all. Naobay is a brand that I have been familiar with for a while (having tried their toner in the past) and one that I wanted to introduce to you. An acronym for 'Natural and Organic, Beauty and You', this brand focuses on ingredients which are in no way harmful to you or the environment. Strong ethical commitments within the beauty industry regarding organic ingredients, animal testing and environment protection are an incredible and increasingly recognised stand, but the products still have to live up to a great quality too. Having been trying their calming toner, milk cleanser and oxygenating moisturising cream for the past month or so, I can confirm that these products are not only great for those who look out for 'certified' products, but are well worth trying out if you're a beauty lover in general.
Hand-Made Soy Wax Melts By Valley Mill (Natural & Irritant-Free)
Is there anything more relaxing than lighting a candle, grabbing a book and a glass of wine and just doing nothing else for the rest of the evening? Whenever I feel stressed, the first thing I do is head to something scented to lift my mood- whether this materializes in the form of aromatherapy oils, candles, or oil burners. Having gorgeous scents filling your home, combined with the mood lighting a candle provides, is a tried-and-tested way to bring a little luxury to your life. Whilst my home is littered with an array of different candles, one thing I've never really had the pleasure of using is an oil burner. These Valley Mill wax melts are a great place to start, and have started somewhat of an obsession.
Vegan Beauty: Sukin Skincare Which 'Doesn't Cost The Earth'
The beauty industry has expanded so much in recent years; an expansion which mirrors our developments as consumers. We have different demands and needs, and brand are reflecting this. There is such a variety of products available that anyone with specific requirements are now catered for. An increasing number of brands are recognising our call for cruelty-free, natural, organic, vegan and vegetarian products by providing a wealth of different products for us to try. Sukin is another brand who does this, an Australian company offering natural, sustainable and cruelty-free products without the cost which usually comes with these demands.
Vegan Beauty: Inika Primer & Liquid Foundation
A while ago, I started a feature on vegan beauty (you can read all the posts so far here), and after taking a short break over Christmas, I'm back with loads of great products I want to share with you cruelty-free fans! First up is this Pure Primer and Liquid Foundation combo from Australian brand, Inika. Selling all kinds of beauty products, the ten year old brand ships worldwide and has a long list of credentials under its belt. This week, I'm putting their primer and liquid foundation to the test in order to show that vegan, organic products does not necessarily mean a compromise on quality.
