Salt of the Earth Review

Salt of the Earth are award winning natural deodorant's that are kind and gentle to skin. They have won over 16 awards in the last 4 years including 'Best Natural Deodorant' in The Green Parent Magazine Awards. Their deodorants contain only 100% natural ingredients so there are no nasties or harmful chemicals. I was given the Pure Aura Melon and Cucumber Deodorant Spray which is 100ml and retails at £5.99 however, currently in Holland and Barrett they are on offer for buy one get one half price so this is an ideal time to venture into a new product.

I can honestly say that this has converted me to natural deodorants. It does the job perfectly and doesn't irritate my skin which I have found other deodorants do. It also doesn't leave any white marks which is one of the main issues I have with normal deodorants. The scent smells lovely and makes me feel so fresh in the mornings. This is also such a long lasting deodorant that it can cover me all day and night which is brilliant for those unexpected trips out at night. The best thing I love about this deodorant is that they don't test on animals!

Nakin Skincare Review

My latest collaboration is with the skincare brand Nakin. They're skincare specialises in anti-ageing treatment however, they do have some products that are marketed at people for either uneven skin tones or just a dehydration in their skin. Nakin uses the finest products to make facial products that defend, enhance and rejuvenate. Another benefit about this company is that all their products meet the Leaping Bunny cruelty free criteria. I was sent a lip treatment balm and a performance face serum and I could not wait to try these. I adore the packaging of these products, I think it looks so sophisticated. Also I must mention that currently they have a £5 discount on their website, which will be linked below, when you join their newsletter and free delivery so what are you waiting for.

I have taken a little longer to try these products as I was using other brands so I did have to stop my beauty regime to be able to try these and give my honest opinion. As I've mentioned before, I always seem to have dry lips so lip balms are one of my beauty must haves so when I saw that I had a lip balm, my day was made. The lip treatment balm is 15ml and is priced at £10 which may be a little steep for some people however, I would be willing to pay this. Instantly this lip balm nourishes and moisturises my lips so I could not fault it at all and I hardly used any at all so 15ml will last a long time. The lip balm is created with a combination of shea, mint, argan and baobab oil and as I'm a mint lover I noticed this straight away.

What I love about this face serum is that it has so many natural ingredients that each one alone has so many benefits that I didn't even know about. For example, it includes hydrolysed hibiscus extract which is known as a natural botox as it helps reduce lines such as those on the forehead and around the mouth. It also includes pomegranate which helps to reverse skin damage caused by sun exposure which I think is such a great thing to have in a facial product. I can honestly say, just like the lip balm, this product instantly absorbs into the skin and makes it feel improved and much healthier. You have to use this face serum after cleansing so this will definitely be a part of my morning cleansing routine. This is a 50ml bottle and retails at £25.

Sonic Chic Toothbrush Review

Sonic Chic toothbrushes are my new favourite thing! What's not to love about a portable electric toothbrush? Sonic Chic have 2 different ranges on toothbrushes; Urban and Deluxe. The main difference I find between these 2 ranges is that the Urban toothbrushes are battery operated whereas the Deluxe are rechargeable. I was lucky enough to be sent two, yes TWO, toothbrushes from their urban range and I can honestly tell you that I fell in love straight away. I can't get over the designs of the toothbrushes they're so bright and vibrant which is just exactly what I love. The designs I have are 'Lovehearts' and 'Starlight'.

These retail at around £20 which I think is a reasonable price for such a useful and needed product. Included is the toothbrush itself, a battery, and a replacement head so I think this is great value for money. What I love about these is that they have hygienic cap so they brush doesn't get dirty from being carried around in bags. As they're also so lightweight they're perfect for throwing in your bag if you spending the night away or if you just need to freshen up at work. The brush works at around 22,000 stroked per minute which is very powerful from such a small brush and you can feel this power when brushing your teeth.

Klorane Review

Klorane are a company that make wonderful products for hair and eyes from naturally sourced plants. They have different ranges which are made up of a combination of different plants. I was sent 3 products from their mango range which I was so excited to try. Mangos are used for their nourishing properties and Mango butter has been incorporated into their hair care range to nourish and repair hair.

 You don't understand how excited I was to be able to try this Mango shampoo and conditioner as my hair is so dry and damaged from being straightened everyday. The smell of this was lovely and quite powerful which was great as the scent of mango makes me feel so refreshed so when I'm washing my hair early in the morning, this definitely wakes me up. I always seem to put too much shampoo than I usually need as with long hair it takes ages to lather up however with this, I hardly needed any for it to work. After washing my hair I usually leave my hair to naturally dry so I'm not sure if this has an effect on my hair but after using this shampoo and conditioner my felt so much softer and looked a whole lot smoother. I can already feel my hair getting better so with continued uses I'm sure my hair will be looking much more healthier.

Dry shampoo is my best friend. It's of my beauty must haves and I can't get enough of it. I was sent the gentle natural-tinted dry shampoo with oat extract. Oat milk is used in these products for its softening and cleansing properties. I find that dry shampoo is great for on the go or when you have little time to wash your hair. This dry shampoo also perfectly restores hair volume and bounce in just a few minutes. This is a perfect hand bag essential.

Dream Dots

Code: Dream10 for discount

Pimple problems? Search no more as I have the answer. Dream Dots have created an overnight treatment to help with reducing the appearance of and healing spots. They aren't just simply stickers, they are unique super absorbent hydro matrix patches. Using these dots makes a moist healing environment which maintains an ideal pH balance, temperature and hydration levels while sealing in repair factors, which leads to a faster healing time. Pain is also reduced as nerve endings are cushioned and protected in this moist condition. I've been sent a pack of 24 Dots, which RRP at around £13, to be put to the test.

Using these are so simple, you press the dot over the spot you want to get rid of, leave it on overnight whilst you sleep, remove the dot and see the results. The results weren't what I actually expected as the spot was still there it had just been reduced in redness however it does say that the process may need to be repeated. But, the dot reduced the appearance and redness of the spot immediately and you couldn't even tell that the dot was there. The spot took a few nights of using these dots to get rid of but as you can use these under makeup I feel that this is an amazing way of hiding a spot without making it worse by adding makeup over the top. It's also a very hygienic way of removing spots as it stops you from touching or picking them.

BUFF Body Care

Code: 2U4X7FJWQUNZ for free delivery and 15% discount

My next collaboration is with a body care brand called 'BUFF' who make 100% natural and British skincare. I adore this brand simply because their products are handmade in Devon which is my favourite place to visit. Before I talk about the product itself I just need to mention the many other reasons why you should be supporting this brand. First of all, they are very committed to protecting and promoting our natural world and to do this they have a partnership with The Marine Conservation Society to ensure that they are giving back so with every purchase, 2% of their profits go directly to MCSUK. On top of all this, they are very passionate about their ethical policy where they try to make the least impact on our planet and to do this their packaging and ingredients have the lowest possible carbon footprint. All of their packaging is also fully recyclable and once the scrub is used up, you still have the beautiful smoked glass jars that can be reused for just about anything. Now onto the beautiful product I've been blessed with. Their product collection contains 5 different blends; UP, BODY, NAKED, NUIT and MAMA all targeting different aspects of lifestyles.For example, UP is an invigoration and awakening blend of spearmint and lemon to revive, inspire and energise your senses.  I was lucky enough to try the BUFF NAKED Body Scrub in Lovers Blend which contains Rosewood, Ylang Ylang and Sandalwood RRP £9.50. The scent of this is heavenly, it has a combination of sweet and floral which I absolutely love so automatically I fell in love.

Each jar comes with a little wooden spoon, which is totally adorable, to mix the scrub together as some blends become separated when warm. They also recommend that if they do become separated or rather runny then to just pop them into the fridge for several minutes just for it to become a firmer scrub. Applied to wet skin, gently rubbing in circular motions, the scrub left my skin feeling soft and much more refreshed. As summer is starting to begin this means shorts are coming out so this scrub is great for keeping my legs looking and feeling great. It also subtly scents your skin which make you feel a bit more refreshed. I just can't wait to try their other products as they all seem amazing.

Balm Balm

https://www.lovelula.com/t/brands/balm-balm

My newest collaboration is with a skincare brand called 'Balm Balm'. The reason I absolutely love this brand is because they are 100% organic and natural so there are no nasties going onto your skin. They are also part of the campaign against animal cruelty so there is no animal testing on their products which is so relieving and just overall amazing! I have been so lucky enough to try three of their products; a tea tree lip balm, a rose geranium lip balm, and a rose geranium hand balm.

Tea Tree Lip Balm

The tea tree lip balm is a mix of shea butter, sunflower, beeswax and other lovely ingredients to create a solid balm which nourishes and softens lips. I'm always a little sceptical using tea tree as I'm really not a fan on the smell but I love the beauty benefits from it. Tea tree is also an antibacterial and antiviral so it will soothe any little problems that you might have. You can also dab this balm on spots, stings, cuts or grazes to help soothe them which is an amazing benefit and is why I'm going to keep this one on me at all times.  

Rose Geranium Balms

 Instantly I fell in love with the Rose Geranium hand and lip balm because I absolutely love sweet and floral scents so this was right up my street. I always struggle with dry hands and lips even in the summer so I always need to carry a lip balm with me wherever I go and these lip balms are the perfect size to throw in your bag which means I can take these with me all the time. My first impression of the hand balm really shocked me. I found that as soon as I massaged it into my hands they instantly felt nourished and moisturised. It also really helped with my nails and cuticles so all round this is amazing! The best thing about this as well is that it is multifunctional so it can be used on your neck, legs, feet or anywhere else that needs moisturising. In addition to this, heir balms are also gentle enough to use on newborn skin so there is no need to worry about their products affecting your skin.

Snact

As I've been quite busy over the past few months, I haven't been able to post on here for you guys however I'm back with a new collaboration that I'm sure you'll love. This collaboration is with a healthy food brand Snact who specialise in tasty fruit snacks. The thing I love about this brand is that they're all about reducing food waste and they do this by sourcing unwanted fruit and blending it into a smoothie to be dried out into a healthy snack. The best bit is, even their bags are compostable. I've been lucky enough to have been sent 3x 20g bags in the flavours; apple & raspberry, apple & mango, and apple, blueberry & banana.

I absolutely love the packaging of these as they're so colourful and vibrant. The flavours of these are so lovely and are just sweet enough which is enjoyable. The bags are a perfect size for small hands of great for on the go. Overall these are so good that I'm ready to swap these instead of sweets and they are also vegan and gluten free so they're perfect for anybody.

Kiss the Moon

This collaboration is with a beauty brand 'Kiss the Moon' who specialise in making products that help you get the best night's sleep. I was given a set which contains 5 samples of their best selling products which came in a cute velvet little bag to keep them safe. At the moment, if you sign up to their newsletter you can receive 10% off your order.

Kiss the Moon Oils

These are the cutest samples I've ever seen, they come in a small glass bottle with a small pipette to get the oil out. I was given a 'love' after dark bath oil, and a 'calm' after dark face oil. There are four different types of products which you can get and each have their own different blend of ingredients to help make the perfect product for an individual.The bath oil is used by simply popping some oil into the bath and the oil will moisturise and relax the body to help you get a good night's sleep. The face oil is used slightly differently. You place some of the oil in your hands and you gently rub your hands together to warm up the oil which releases the aroma to help you get relaxed and then you pat the rest into your face to get lovely feeling skin.

Kiss the Moon Creams

In the set, I was also given a 'Glow' after dark face oil, 'Dream' after dark balm, and a 'Glow' after dark face polish. The balm is applied to the wrists and temples to relax the body helping you have a peaceful night. The blend of essential oils in the face polish brightens up your mood and makes sure you have a worry-free sleep. It's also an exfoliator for the face which helps let the skin renew itself whilst you sleep. The face is applied the same as the other face oil however, this one chases away anxiety and encourages a positive spirit before going to sleep. As it is Vitamin A loaded, it helps improve skin moisture levels and helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
