BEAUTY KITCHEN LOVE ME CARING & ANTI-AGEING BATH OIL

Hi lovelies. I have a pampering product to talk with you about today that was kindly sent to me by BEAUTY KITCHEN.

BEAUTY KITCHEN LOVE ME CARING & ANTI-AGEING BATH OIL

Described as a silky rich bath & massage oil that nourishes and moisturises the body.

The scent of this product is so relaxing and gives you that warm zen feeling that will be perfect as the weather gets colder. Your senses are very much aware of the cinnamon and citrus scents as you breath it in.

I did not use this in the bath as that's not how I like to use oils, but as a massage oil oh my goodness. I never thought that I would notice the quality of an oil for this purpose, but I certainly did with this product.

I like that you can pour out droplets from the lid as it gives you more control with the amount you want to use. I would say 8-10 drops for a back massage is about enough.

I tried this on my boyfriend and he tried it on me too. The product makes massage so much easier as it helps your hands to glide over the skin without feeling greasy. Some oils I find absorb a little too quickly, but this product smoothed in nicely after 10 mins leaving the skin moisturised and nourished, but not tacky.

Afterwards you get to enjoy the scent lingering on your skin which is great if applied before bed because it helps you to relax.

This product also contains sesame seed oil which is full of zinc. This is an essential mineral for producing collagen to give skin elasticity. So that's where the anti-ageing part comes in.

I hope you enjoyed this review. Beauty Kitchen have plenty of skin care and body care products to choose from to suit all your needs. You can also search their site for products by scent too. Genius!

Love to you all

FANCY AN ORANGEASM?

Ello ello beauties. This is my final post for today as I have been on a bit of roll reviewing all of my empties. This post includes body washes and a massage oil.

NIVEA WATERLILY & OIL SHOWER GEL

I received this product in a gift set for my birthday here. The pink beads in this shower gel are not harsh at all and instead the mixture turns into a lovely sliky soft foaming gel. My skin felt lovely after using this and the scent is beautifully floral in a very light way.

MONUSPA WARMING GINGER BODY OIL

I received this product in the SWEET TREATS GLOSSYBOX. The ginger lemongrass and orange essential oils in this product really awakens the senses, but also relaxes you at the same time. It's great at nourishing and softening the skin. It can be used in the bath or shower, but I shared it with my boyfriend as a back massgae oil and it worked great at putting me into a relaxed trance.

SOAP & GLORY ORANGEASM BODY WASH

This came in the gift set Mum bought me for Xmas. I really enjoyed the zesty scent of this body wash. It's a great reviver for the senses with fresh green mandarin, sicilian lemon and sweet orange peel oils. It certainly did put a smile on my face every day ;)

So let me in on your current favourite body washes and massage oils in the comments below.

Love to you all

SWEET TREATS GLOSSYBOX

Hi there everyone and Happy Easter Sunday! It may be a dull and wet day, but for most of you I hope there is another day off tomorrow so it's all good. I have my April GlossyBox products to show you today. This box is called 'Sweet Treats'.

EMITE MAKE UP LIP BRUSH (L312) ~ £17

I have never seen a slanted lip brush like this before. The synthetic taklon hair is very smooth and will hopefully keep its shape well. It's allergy free and supposed to be easy to clean. I could not find this product on the Emite website so I have not added a link.

MONU SPA WARMING GINGER MASSAGE & BODY OIL ~ £25.00 FOR 100ML

Guaranteed to restore elasticity and suppleness leaving you with skin that feels nourished, soft and thoroughly pampered. With a mixture of aromatic essential oils to uplift, awaken, refresh and energise. Relaxing the body and revitalising tired muscles. Paraben free. Suitable for all skin types.

Add a small amount to your bath or under the shower before rinsing as the oil will emulsify into a milk leaving no oily residue on the skin. Can also be used as a regular massage oil.

This smells spicy with a slight lemon zest. It looks more like a loose liquid than other body oils.

MEMEME COSMETICS BEAT THE BLUES (PEARL PINK) ~ £5.50 FOR 12ML

This is a multi-purpose product designed to illuminate and highlight. Can be used on cheekbones or on brow bones to highlight. Apply under blusher for a natural dewy glow or mix with foundation for a subtle shimmer.

I am in love with this product already and I have only tried it on my hand. This has a gorgeous glow that looks very natural when blended out like you just have healthy skin. The shade is a pearly pink which looks more white or pink in different lighting. The swatch shown above is one swipe of solid colour not blended. When left to dry this swatch gave a very strong pigmented colour. I would actually love to try this on my lips for a statement look and possibly even on the eye lids, but I am not sure if it would crease. It appears to have pretty good staying power as I rubbed this swatch once dried and most of the product stayed put.

TRESEMME INSTANT REFRESH CLEANSING DRY SHAMPOO ~ £4.99 FOR 200ML

To keep hair fresh between washes this product absorbs oil and adds volume.

Shake the can vigorously. Lift hair in sections, spraying roots outwards. Let the product absorb into the hair and massage in.

Dry shampoos are always handy to have not only for days when you don't want to wash your hair, but for an added volume boost.

VICHY LIFTACTIV ADVANCED FILLER ~ £31.00 FOR 30ML

This product has been produced to visibly correct the look of deep and vertical wrinkles as if filled. To give you a happier less sad and tired appearance. This moisturiser is suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin.

Apply to face and neck day and night alone or with your usual daily moisturiser.

Due to high pure retinol content please note!

When using this product it is advised to use an SPF of at least 15 during the day. Avoid sun exposure or artificial UV exposure. Do not use in conjunction with other retinoid products. Space out to using every two days if you have feelings of discomfort in the early days of use to allow the skin to become used to the retinol. Avoid the delicate eye area.

This sounds like quite a strong product which I will try out, but I am confused that it is suitable for all skin types due to the warnings. If I had really problematic sensitive skin I may be a little nervous trying this, but it does advise to ease your skin into using it so I guess its down to each individual to decide if it's right for them.

VICHY LIFTACTIV SERUM 10 EYES & LASHES ~ £24.50 FOR 15ML

Suitable for all skin types and sensitive eyes. Illuminating eye contours for a more youthful appearance as well as fortifying the lashes. Hypoallergenic and paraben free. 

Apply with fingertips gently to the eye contours.

Hopefully this will be great for tired eye days. I guess that it can be applied to the lashes in the same way, but the Boots website doesn't really advise on this so if anyone knows please advise in the comments below.

The stand out product for me in this month's box so far is the MeMeMe Cosmetics product.
