Beautifinous.

Hey guys! Now that the title probably has your attention, you might be wondering where the heck I'm going with this post, but no fear! I'm going to be going back in time a bit to do something that I haven't done on the blog for a while and that is to talk about DIY beauty.

A couple of months ago I was at a festival and whilst I was browsing the local business stands I stumbled across a couple of awesome women selling some herbs and natural homemade beauty items. One of the items for sale was some oat tea bags that can be used in the bath. They were tea bags filled with oats and a variety of flowers; one was oat and lavender, one oat and rose and the other oat and chamomile.

We struck up a conversation about the tea bags and what they can be used for. She explained to me that they're great to be used in the bath; the oats really help to soften your skin, reduce irritation and to even out skin tone. They're great for use on the face and in hair too. The different flowers have different effects also, with lavender being relaxing and perfect for night time alongside being good at boosting the mood and easing tension in the muscles. Rose petals are great for calming skin irritations, hydration and toning and chamomile is fab for soothing the skin and helping to minimise marks. 

I bought a bunch of the tea bags and tried one out as soon as I got back. I'm going to be writing about how I found them and also how you can create your own if you're interested at the end of the post. 

Hey guys! Today I am back with a post featuring a skin-plumping, anti-ageing, hydrating serum that I've been testing out recently. 

The Bio Balance Super Serum Hyaluronic 3D is a natural, vegan friendly, youth activating serum that is designed to plump lines, hydrate, improve elasticity and firm the skin. The Bio Balance Super Serum Hyaluronic 3D gets its name from being a multi-molecular hyaluronic acid. It contains three different weights of hyaluronic acid molecules, allowing the serum to absorb deeply into multiple layers of the skin for better hydration. 

It is a Pure Global Beauty Awards 2021 finalist and is perfume, silicone, gluten, alcohol, oil and preservative free. 

It is part of their range of Super Serums which cover a collection of different skin issues from pore size to discolouration, so if you aren't swayed by the idea of a hyaluronic acid serum but are still interested in the brand, I do recommend checking out the rest in the range to see if you can find something better suited to your needs.

The Hyaluronic 3D Serum comes packaged in an amber tinted glass bottle with a black dropper lid. It holds 30ml of product and the serum itself is a clear, somewhat watery consistency. 

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 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. 

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!

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.
