Mother's Day Gift Idea: Nourish London Gift Of Sleep - feat. Nourish Sleepy Pillow Mist, Relax Hydrating Peptide Serum and Probiotic Multi-Mineral Anti-Ageing Face Mask reviews

- This post contains gifted products and affiliate links. -

Hey guys! It's been a while and I'd like to start by apologising for that. Life things have been life things and I've needed to put my attention elsewhere. I’m back today though with a special post to share with you all!

Mother's Day Gift - Nourish London Gift of Sleep

Mother’s Day is coming up fast here in the UK (it's this Sunday, March 27th if you've forgotten all about it!), and if you’re left looking for a last minute gift to spoil your mum or if you’re just stumped for ideas, I have a Mother’s Day gift idea for you today courtesy of Nourish Skincare; the Gift of Sleep. The Gift of Sleep is a box set containing three bed time products to gift your mum a pampering evening ritual that helps both her skin and her sleep quality. It features the Nourish Sleepy Pillow Mist, Relax Hydrating Peptide Serum and Probiotic Multi-Mineral Anti-Ageing Face Mask.

The Nourish London Sleepy Pillow Mist contains a relaxing blend of 9 essential oils alongside magnesium-rich Epsom salts. Lavender, Rose, Frankincense, Geranium, Patchouli, Bergamot and Sweet Orange alongside the stress-relieving Epsom salts sprayed on your pillow each evening help you to calm down and relax to fall asleep easier.

The Nourish Relax Hydrating Peptide Serum is designed to hydrate and soothe sensitive skin that is prone to stress and allergens. It contains hyaluronic acid to moisturise and tripeptides to boost collagen production. Additionally, the Relax Hydrating Peptide Serum also contains lavender, bisabolol and ginger to ease irritation.

The Nourish Probiotic Multi-Mineral Anti-Ageing Face Mask is a product that I have reviewed on the blog previously so I won't be reviewing it during this post, but you can see my review of it here.

All of the products in the box are alcohol free, cruelty free and 100% vegan.

Nourish is definitely one of my favourite brands right now. I’ve loved every product that I’ve ever tried from them and they’re a lovely company to work with too. Also being a mother, I can confirm that I have loved and appreciated receiving this box set as a gift from Nourish just in time for Mother's Day! Therefore, I am super excited to jump right into this review.

I'm going to discuss each product one by one, starting with the Sleepy Pillow Mist, then the Relax Hydrating Peptide Serum and finally the Probiotic Multi-Mineral Anti-Ageing Face Mask.

Nourish London Skincare Radiance Rejuvenating Peptide Serum and Probiotic Multi-Mineral Repair Mask reviews

-This post contains gifted products and affiliate links.-

Hey guys! A short while back I wrote up a post featuring some products from Nourish Skincare and today I am excited to bring you two more!

Nourish London Skincare Radiance Rejuvenating Peptide Serum and Probiotic Multi-Mineral Repair Mask

In this post, I shall be reviewing the Nourish London Skincare Radiance Rejuvenating Peptide Serum and Probiotic Multi-Mineral Repair Mask. All products by Nourish are natural, vegan friendly and cruelty free.

The Nourish London Radiance Rejuvenating Peptide Serum is a multi-award winning serum that is designed to hydrate, revitalise and brighten the skin. It contains tripeptides to boost collagen production (which in turn will help the skin repair and renew itself), hyaluronic acid to hydrate, alpine foxberry to even out the skin tone and its brightening properties and tonka bean bio-extract for natural luminosity.

The Nourish London Probiotic Multi-Mineral Repair Mask is also a multi-award winning product. This nutrient-rich mask is formulated with minerals created from a probiotic fermentation process and it is designed to boost collagen, restore firmness and diminish wrinkles. On top of that, the addition of magnesium, zinc, copper and iron will help to battle issues such as rosacea, acne, pollution irritation and it will help to balance out oilier skin.

Both products are packaged in glass bottles that hold... The Radiance Rejuvenating Peptide Serum has a twist cap pump to dispense the product whereas the Probiotic Multi-Mineral Repair Mask has a metal pump lid.

Naturecan CBD Skincare range review

- This post contains gifted products and affiliate links. -

Hi guys! CBD has been incorporating itself into the beauty world a lot lately and you're beginning to see it in every type of product from lip balm to shampoo. Today we're going to talk a little bit about why it is such a big beauty ingredient right now and also review a range of CBD skincare products from a UK based CBD brand - Naturecan.

Also, if you'd like to receive a promo code for 30% off your first order at Naturecan, keep reading!

Naturecan CBD Beauty Range

This post is going to feature a collection of six Naturecan CBD beauty products: the Naturecan Nourish Multi-Use Balm, Hydrate Moisturiser, Restore Hand Cream, Lip Balm, Lavender Massage Oil and the Purify Clay Mask. Each of the products contains CBD along with a range of other beneficial, natural ingredients which vary by product.

For those of you who don't yet know too much about what CBD is or how it can help with our skin, I'll do a quick explanation of what it is and how it helps and also provide links for you to read more about it.

CBD is short for cannabidiol which is an extract of the cannabis plant. The oil is extracted and filtered so that the remaining oil is free of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol - the psychoactive part of cannabis that causes the 'high') meaning that it is non-addictive and has zero psychoactive effects. This allows you to receive all of the benefits of the CBD with no THC effects.

CBD has many positive effects when ingested (pain relief, good for anxiety and so on - read here for more on this), but for the sake of this post we're going to focus in on the benefits of its inclusion in skincare products.

" On the surface, CBD delivers a chemical-free way to fight breakouts and inflammation, but it also offers a promising solution to tackling more stubborn, recurring issues. In a study published in the Journal of Dermatological Science, researchers found that when CBD was applied to human skin cells, it actually inhibited the overproduction of keratinocytes (specific skin cells) that are commonly seen in psoriasis. This is further evidence to support CBD working to realign bodily processes that may be adversely affecting the quality of your skin, including its softness, cleanliness, and ability to retain important moisture." - Naturecan

And for those who may be suffering with acne, here is some further good news:

" Based on recent scientific studies, CBD oil may help treat acne due to the anti-inflammatory properties explored earlier, and how this is linked to the body’s ability to reduce sebum production. One test-tube study found that CBD oil prevented sebaceous gland cells from secreting excessive sebum, exerted anti-inflammatory actions and prevented the activation of ‘pro-acne’ agents like inflammatory cytokines.4 This offers some proof to the claim that the CBD found in skin products, dependant on their strength and quality, can not only help maintain the balance your body needs but actually help to reverse life-altering condition such as acne." - Naturecan

As I've got a lot of products to cover in this post, I'm going to keep my reviews of each individual product fairly brief and focus more on the range overall. I'll begin by discussing the common traits of the range before moving onto each product individually and then summarising with my thoughts on the range together at the end.

Naturecan CBD Beauty Range

All of the Naturecan products that are featured in today's post are natural, vegan products. As stated in the intro, they are all guaranteed to be free of THC and are GMO free.

The range is packaged in simple, white, plastic packaging with the Naturecan logo in green and other product info in dark grey.

Wake Skincare Face Mask review

- This post contains gifted products and affiliate links. -

Hey guys! It’s been a while since I last reviewed Wake Skincare (formerly EyeWake which is the name that brand used when I last reviewed them) but today I have a new product from Wake Skincare to share with you all today; the Wake Skincare Face Mask.

Wake Skincare Face Mask

The Wake Skincare Face Mask is a kaolin clay-based face mask that is designed to help with acne and dull skin by detoxing, exfoliating, removing dead skin and unclogging the pores. The goal is to leave the skin smooth and clear with a radiant glow.

The mask is paraben and sulphate free, not tested on animals and is FSC approved.

The Face Mask comes packaged in a white jar that holds 50ml of product. In a bid to reduce plastic waste, the jar is made of glass and can be recycled. The mask itself is a pale, dusky pink in colour and is quite thick and gritty consistency wise as it contains exfoliants.

Derma Roller System, DermaC+ Anti-Aging Serum and PerfectDerm Collagen Face Mask reviews

- This post contains gifted products and affiliate links. -

Hey guys! So it’s pretty well known by now that there are some weird and wonderful things that people can do to their bodies in the name of beauty, and as a beauty blogger I naturally love trying some of them out so I can talk about them with you all. So how about today we talk about what it’s like to stick hundreds of needles into your face over and over in the hunt to achieve smooth skin? Yep, today we’re talking about microneedling with the Derma Roller System.

DermaC+ Anti-Aging Serum, PerfectDerm Collagen Face Mask and the Derma Roller System

So what is microneedling? Microneedling is a natural way to help the skin with a range of issues on the face, hair and body. On the face it can help with reducing acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. It can also help with evening out the skin tone, firming the skin and helping your skincare products to work better. On the body it can help to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, and on the hair it can help to promote hair growth. The Derma Roller System works by rolling 200 medical-grade stainless steel needles over the area you want to treat to create tiny micro-injuries which then stimulates the natural healing process of the skin, therefore boosting collagen and elastin production. This is basically the same kind of thing that most of your skincare products are saying they will help with, but your body is already making its own, so why not simply utilise that better?

I was recently sent the Derma Roller System to try, and alongside it I have also got the DermaC+ Anti-Aging Serum and the PerfectDerm Collagen Face Mask to show you. The DermaC+ Anti-Aging Serum and the PerfectDerm Collagen Face Mask are described as being best used directly after the Derma Roller, but as well as that I have carried on using the DermaC+ Serum nightly to allow me to give some proper feedback on it alongside the roller.

The Derma Roller System comes with varying needle sizes. The size that you need to use is going to be dependant on what you need to use it for. I followed the guide on the Derma Roller System website to choose the right needle size for microneedling and settled the 1mm needle size. If you are new to it I would suggest sticking to the smaller sizes like I did as the longer needles are intended for professional use.

Derma Roller System

The Derma Roller comes packaged up in a handy plastic travel case which is nice, but it all also comes packaged up in a box with the product info on with instructions.

The DermaC+ Anti-Aging Serum is packed with Vitamins C and E as well as Hyaluronic Acid and is designed to minimise the appearance of wrinkles (even deep set ones), even out the skin tone, hydrate, improve skin texture, leave the skin looking and feeling smoother and firmer, restore natural glow and to help other skincare products work better.

It comes in an orange-brown glass bottle with a pipette dropper for dispensing. It holds 30ml of product and the serum is bright white and of average consistency.

The PerfectDerm Collagen Face Mask is pretty much designed to the exact same as the DermaC+ Serum above, but it also exfoliates too. The face mask is a sheet mask which comes packaged in a white and blue sachet.

Before getting into the review, a heads up; this post is a long one. I’ve written a little TL;DR at the end of the post with some bullet points, but if you’re genuinely interested in trying out a derma roller then I do recommend reading the entire post as I talk in detail about the different steps and methods which I think could be helpful for you.

Ultrasonic Beauty Algae Peel-Off Mask review

Face masks are the perfect skincare treat for rejuvenating the skin whilst also giving you some time to put your feet up and relax. Some face masks can be a bit difficult or messy to remove though, which probably explains the surge in popularity of sheet masks. Another alternative for a less-mess face mask removal is a peel-off face mask, and today I have one to share with you,

Ultrasonic Beauty Algae Peel-Off Mask

The Ultrasonic Beauty Algae Peel-Off Mask with Spirulina is described as an "innovative, professional-quality" face mask. It is targeted to those with mature, dry, dehydrated skin, open pores, signs of fatigue and wrinkles. It is designed to act like a serum that firms and lifts the skin whilst also rehydrating and moisturising it.

It contains only the finest ingredients with the active ingredient being Spirulina, a blue-green algae that is rich in vitamins (A, B1, B2, B12, D, E and K) and minerals (selenium, iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium, sodium, phosphorus and potassium).

It comes in powder form so it does need mixing beforehand, but once applied onto the skin and dry it becomes a peel-off mask.

It comes packaged in a large white pot. The powder itself is very fine and a pale green in colour and has no noticeable smell.

Niikam Pure Clay Mask review (& discount code!)

As spring finally arrives, it’s that time of year where we just don’t want to wear as much makeup, so we make sure that our winter skin is well and truly behind us and prep to achieve a beautiful glowing complexion that is bright and ready to face the sun. The product that I will be reviewing today is a face mask that will help on the first step of that mission.

Niikam Pure Clay Mask

The Niikam Pure Clay Mask is a healing, detoxifying face mask/exfoliant that is designed to help with removing blackheads, tightening pores, smoothing and evening out skin tone. It can be used as a face or body mask or in bathwater.

Niikam is a new brand that has just launched recently and their business ethos is that the "products [they] produce and deliver will inspire a lasting change to [their] customers physical and mental well-being".

The Pure Clay Mask is 100% natural, and this particular one who is made up of just one ingredient: bentonite clay. It is also organic and is cruelty free.

Bentonite clay is a powerful healing clay that is used in many commercial face masks, so if you are a clay mask fan then the chances are that you have used this on your skin before. This product though simply allows the power of this clay to shine on its own.

It is particularly great at helping to heal blemishes, remove blackheads, unclog pores, soothe eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, reduce inflammation, help to heal the skin after sun exposure and also to detoxify. You can see why it's used in so many clay masks, I'm sure.

It comes packaged in a white foil, re-sealable packet with the product info on the front and the back in black, so it’s a very sleek monochrome package and it looks very nice. Once you tear it open though, the mask itself is a fine, light brown clay powder that comes in a transparent plastic pack that will need to be cut open with scissors. I warn you to be careful with that though as the clay is so fine and it can be easy to lose excess mask in a cloud as you open it.

Mizon Enjoy Vital-Up Time Soothing Mask review

Hey guys! We’ve had some terrible weather here in the UK lately, and even though I’ve heard rumours about more bad weather on the way, right now the sun is out (albeit still cold out) and we can attempt to enjoy what is supposed to be spring. It’s time to heal up winter damaged skin and step out with a spring-ready glow. I selected to review today’s product as a first step to doing just that! Plus, it's from a Korean brand, and we all know how good Korean beauty products are, amirite?

Mizon Enjoy Vital-Up Time Soothing Mask

The Mizon Enjoy Vital-Up Time Soothing Mask is a tencel sheet mask that contains lavender extract to soothe and heal the skin, as well as working to relieve issues caused by sensitive skin. In addition to lavender, it contains the Mizon "vital essence", a blend that includes Trehalose and Hyaluronic Acid to moisturise, Allantoin to help aid the recovery of any skin issues and Sc-glucan to soothe and revitalise.

It comes packaged in this funky, bright green, geometric-patterned foil sachet with the sheet mask folded up inside.

Mizon is a brand that I have tried before and the product that I used was incredible. Therefore, trying out something else by the brand was a must. Seeing as the bad weather wreaks havoc with the skin for a lot of people, myself included, I figured that this would be a great product to start with. In addition to the bad weather causing dry and sensitive skin issues, it's also been a prime time for nasty viruses going around that also cause their own issues. Let's check it out.

Monu Skin Hydrating Mask review

Hi everyone! I've focused a few posts now on winter essentials to help us all get through the colder days, and today I'll be taking a look at one more item. This one is probably best for those who suffer with dry skin whose skin may be in desperate need of hydration and moisture, but it can be used by all skin types. So even the oily skinned folks out there (like myself) can still find something they may like within this review.

Monu Skin Hydrating Mask

The Monu Skin Hydrating Mask is a creamy, non-setting mask that is designed to hydrate even the driest of skin. It contains a blend of evening primrose oil, royal jelly, geranium essential oil, kaolin clay and horsetail extract to soothe, hydrate, retain moisture, cleanse, firm, tighten and aids in the healing of broken skin. Oof, that's a lot, huh!? It also sounds exactly like the type of thing we all need during this time of year.

Monu Skin recommend using this between 1-3 times a week depending on skin type. It can also be used on the hands as a nourishing, hydrating way to replenish super dry hands.

It comes packaged in a 100ml, white and pink tube and the mask itself is white and creamy in texture with a light floral scent.

Peachy Fox Dead Sea Mud Mask with Jojoba review

Winter can bring along a whole bunch of skincare annoyances with it, and if you’re one of those who end up suffering a great blend of everything from blemishes, dry patches, over oily patches, general fatigue, then the mask featured in todays post could be worth taking a look at.

Peachy Fox Dead Sea Mud Mask with Jojoba

The Peachy Fox Dead Sea Mud Mask with Jojoba is a natural and organic mask made in the UK. It contains a blend of nourishing and deep cleansing ingredients that help to prevent breakouts, diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and to deeply moisturise and hydrate.

It contains a range of beneficial essential oils that help with a whole bunch of different skin related issues. Lemon oil is great at brightening the skin and controlling excess oil, and it works great with the Vitamin E with helping to reduce blemish related redness or dryness as it’s also naturally exfoliating (just like in the Lanolips Lemonaid Lip Aid). In regards to blemishes though, the tea tree oil also helps to banish those alongside the lemon oil, and the peppermint oil also helps with oil control as well as refreshing the skin with a lovely cooling effect.

It comes packaged in a white screw cap jar. The mask itself is grey in colour and quite thick.

Zenmed AHA/BHA Complex, Renewing Microdermabrasion Complex and Derma Cleanse Acne Mask & Spot Treatment reviews

Acne, spots, blemishes, zits, pimples, oily skin. Whatever words you choose to describe what's going on with your skin, there's one thing we can all agree on: it can be a pain in the bum to sort out. Not to fear though, today I have another range to show you all with the goals of clearing up your skin, no matter the issues. This post is also another feature within the "perfecting your base" theme that I've been focusing on recently (other posts include the Omorovicza Refining Facial Polish, Pixi Glow Tonic and my guide on getting rid of shaving rash/irritation)

Zenmed AHA/BHA Refining Scrub, Renewing Microdermabrasion Complex, Facial Cleansing Gel, Derma Cleanse Acne Mask & Spot Treatment and AHA/BHA Complex

Zenmed is a brand that focus on merging medicinal and natural ingredients to create products that actually deliver on their promises. I have a range of their items to show you (as you can see in the photo above), but as I have a fair amount to discuss with you about them I have decided to split this post up into two halves, reviewing some of the items in this post and the rest will be reviewed next week in part 2.

Within this post I am going to be showing you the AHA/BHA Complex, the Renewing Microdermabrasion Complex and the Derma Cleanse Acne Mask & Spot Treatment. I'll describe each of the items and review them within their own sections as to not clutter up the post and to keep it as clear as possible.

Next weeks post will discuss the AHA/BHA Refining Scrub and the Facial Cleansing Gel.

There will be a part at the end to direct you to where to purchase the collection if you are intrigued to try it!

So let's take a look, shall we?

Korebeauty Anti-Ageing Hydrogel Facial Mask review

Sheet masks are having a bit of a thing right now, and for good reason. They're cleaner to use than a regular mask, easier to remove and the sheet helps the product to penetrate the skin for better results. So can it get any better? Step up, hydrogel!

Korebeauty Anti-Ageing Hydrogel Facial Mask

Korebeauty is a new brand set up by TK Gilbert with the aim to provide a mask that gives better results than a regular sheet mask by utilising the benefits of hydrogel. Instead of cotton or pulp that can slip off, the hydrogel mask does a better job at preventing any mask dripping or sliding off the face. In addition, it also allows the essence to penetrate the skin better due to the gel forming closer contact to the skin without any drying or irritation.

It's not all about the hydrogel though. The hydrogel is what helps the mask to penetrate the skin, and we haven't yet taken a look at what is contained within it.

So far the mask is available in an Anti-Ageing variety (which we will be talking about today), but soon there will also be Radiance and Vitality options available as well.

The Anti-Ageing mask contains a range of ingredients to help reduce the appearance off fine lines and wrinkles as well as to even out skin tone: Vitamin E, Hyaluronic Acid and Retinol.

The masks come in a box of five and each individual mask comes packaged in a sleek white and gold sachet. The sachets are then packaged in a box with the same design as the sachet. I would have taken a photo of the box, but the postman really dented mine as it was squished through the letterbox! Thanks, postman!

Australian Bodycare Exfoliating Body Scrub, Facial Exfoliator, Cleansing Face Mask and Skin Wash reviews

Hi guys! Today I have a whole bunch of skincare goodies to show you!

Australian Bodycare Exfoliating Body Scrub, Skin Wash, Facial Exfoliator and Cleansing Face Mask

Australian Bodycare are a professional and retail skincare brand that specialise in using Tea Tree Oil within their products. Tea Tree Oil is well known for its natural antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties, making it a great ingredient within your skincare routine. It can be useful for an entire range of issues, from blemishes to body odour.

I have here a selection of products from the brand to discuss with you all; the recently released Tea Tree Exfoliating Body Wash and Facial Exfoliator and their Skin Wash and Cleansing Face Mask.

All of them contain that key ingredient and come with a range of benefits. Let's take a closer look at each of them!

Ooharr Face Mask reviews

I don't know about you, but I love discovering new beauty brands. There is something about the buzz and the excitement when you find a new wonder product and it makes me all eager to tell everybody all about them. Well, today I have some new products from by Amphora Aromatics' new company called Ooharr to share with you all.

Ooharr face masks - Star Glow, Dead Sea Cooler and Rosie Glow

Ooharr is a fun skincare brand that prides itself on providing natural based products that are "effective, natural and easy to use and won't break the bank". Their range currently consists of three face masks (with more to come) that are suitable for all skin types and I have all of them to show you all today!

Each mask comes packaged in its own personal, retro-designed sachet that contains enough product to apply to the face and neck (15ml).

To use, you need to simply wash your face with warm water only and leave damp. Immediately apply the mask evenly over the face and neck and leave on for 15-20 minutes, and then rinse off with warm water. Splash the face with cold water to close the pores and then pat dry.

So what types of masks do they have? Let's take a look.

InstaNatural Dead Sea Mud Mask, Eye Gel and Spot Treatment reviews

Recently I've been trying out a whole bunch of InstaNatural products, but today I have not one, not two, but THREE InstaNatural products to share with you (woohoo!).

InstaNatural Eye Gel, Dead Sea Mud Mask and Spot Treatment

Today I have three facial skincare products, the InstaNatural Dead Sea Mud Mask, Eye Gel and Skin Clearing Spot Treatment.

I've spent some time testing them all out to give you some feedback, so I'll break it all down and go through each product one by one, starting with the Dead Sea Mud Mask.

Delarom Acquaconfort Mask review

Delarom’s Acquaconfort mask is a hydrating face mask featuring Pomegranate Sterols to strengthen the skin barrier. It comforts and nourishes your skin, leaving it looking radiant and soft.

Delarom - Acquaconfort Mask - Face Mask for dehydrated skin

I don’t know about you, but when spring comes around I love to find the time to rejuvenate. The weather is fresh, and who doesn’t like to feel fresh too?

This mask appeared in my January 2014 Birchbox and after using it throughout winter, I’m going to review how effective this could be as the beginning to your own personal ‘spring clean.'

Made with natural ingredients, this smooth textured cream mask is designed to replenish dehydrated skin. It strengthens the skin barrier to retain moisture.
