Lush - Prince Charming Shower Gel


£4.65/ 100g      
£9.25/ 250g
£15.95/ 500g        
www.lush.co.uk
Suitable for Vegans.
Tailored for all skin types.
A shower gel from the Valentine's Day 2014 collection - for beautiful smelling, silky soft skin.

With marshmallow root, fair trade vanilla and fresh pomegranate juice. Prince Charming will sweep you off your feet and carry you off into the sunset, leaving your skin silky soft and smelling lovely - the fragrance is made using a beautiful blend of grapefruit, sandalwood and geranium oils.

I would call this the Marmite shower gel, you either love it or hate it!
Personally, I adore it. The scent is sensual and seductive; perfect for a romantic Valentine evening.
To my nose, it smells like fresh pomegranates and vanilla, a fresh and sexy smell.
It lathers up very well, you need very little for a shower; I would say this will last a while meaning great value for your money.
I love the Lush stand point, natural ingredients, suitable for vegetarians, vegans or both. So another feel good factor is I know everything is fresh, natural and researched for me.
The formula is fantastic it leaves the skin nourished, baby soft and most of all cleansed. It works brilliant as a shampoo, it made my hair sparkle and ever so dreamy soft.

I have to give this a massive thumbs up. Great value for money, natural ingredients, smells great and doubles as a shampoo. Best of all it left my skin silky smooth.

Steamcream Moisturiser


£12.95/ 75g.             www.steamcream.co.uk
Made in the UK.
Suitable for Vegans.
Tailored for all skin types.
Long lasting hydration for the face, also great nourishment for hands and body.

Handmade using high quality, fresh, natural, traceable ingredients; fused together by a shot of steam.
It's super moisturising, sinks deep down instantly and revives your skin straight away.

Very strong Lavender scent. Use more than a pea size amount and skin can look and feel greasy.
I would not recommend this for normal to oily skin; this is definitely a product for dry/ very dry skin. I personally have oily skin and this created a very shiny finish.

A good size but also a mid-range price tag, if you have dry/ very dry skin this may be value for money and works incredible to nourish your skin.
I will not be repurchasing this as it is not suitable for my skin type.

Dr. Organic - Dead Sea Mineral Eye Rescue Rollerball


£8.99/15ml       www.drorganic.co.uk
Made in the UK
Suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans.
Tailored for both male and female consumers.
An eye cream which uses natural ingredients to effectively reduce puffiness, tired eyes, dark circles and improves micro-circulation.

Dr. Organic is committed to creating unique, natural products, free from parabens, SLS, artificial colours, fragrances and harsh preservatives.
A bioactive base formulation of Dead sea mineral salts with natural and organic extracts and over 20 essential oils. This targeted formulation energises skin cells which increases oxygen consumption and lypolytic action, resulting in the breakdown of fat deposits. Instantly addresses fine lines around the eyes, puffy, sagging skin and dark circles.

I enjoyed the packaging as it was clean and mess free. Very easy to use.
The rollerball made application quick and easy. The product lasted well over three months. (used day and night)
A lovely cooling effect to the under eye, making it feel refreshed. The scent was mild. No burning or irritation occurred while using this product.
The formulation did decrease the puffy, sagging skin under the eye but the fine lines and the dark circles remained the same - no visible difference in my opinion.

I would place this at average value for money.
The rollerball is personally not my preferred method of application due to hygiene reasons. The formula only addressed the puffy and sagging skin and failed to effectively target other problems.
However, if you are looking for a firming and tightening product for under the eye area and suffer from tired, puffy looking eyes, this product would be worth a try.
