Hey Beauties!

I don't know about you guys but, even though we're experiencing warm weather these days, I'm still getting quite a few dry patches on my arms and legs.

Prone to neglecting my body when it comes to moisturising, I can get quite lazy when it comes to my body care routine and my skin certainly feels it.

Now that Summer is approaching, I want to be able to rock shorter dresses and wear fake tan without worrying about it clinging to dry patches so I started looking for products to remedy this.

I Love... are an affordable brand that I have featured on here before so, when they sent me a couple of their *body butters* to try out, I was more then eager.

Read on to hear my thoughts!

What They Say

These butters are all you need to feel refreshed, thanks to their juicy scent.

Packed with Coconut Oil and Shea Butter, they will leave your skin feeling nourished, silky soft and with a beautiful fragrance!

What I Say

I like the standard body butter packaging but it's the scent that truly brings these butters to life, they're just so zesty and fruity and are perfect for Summer.

They're the typical body butter texture, quite thick and creamy, but don't feel heavy or greasy on the skin at all.

I found that they absorbed well into the skin without making me feel tacky and left a beautiful scent to my skin that did linger.

All in all, I loved these butters and think that they'll do a great job of keeping my skin in check all Summer long.

Check them out guys!

I Love... products are available from Superdrug stores and Primark stores.

Hey Beauties!

Now that we're sadly coming into A/W and the colder weather, I have decided to ramp up my skincare regime and really treat my skin.

Gone are the days of dry and neglected arms and legs, I'm saying a big hello to super soft and cared for pins.

When it comes to Winter, I like to look for a good oil-based scrub so that it's nourishing my skin at the same time and not stripping it dry.

When the *Burt's Bees Honey + Shea Sugar Scrub* landed on my doorstep, I was most curious to give it a whirl!

What They Say

Humming with the warm scent of Honey + Shea, Ground Almonds and Aloe Leaf Juice combine to gently scrub your skin smooth.

This scrub is all you need to brighten both your skin and your day!

What I Say

I love the scent of this scrub, it's so warm and inviting and will be perfect to use in the run up to Christmas.

I would recommend stirring it slightly before use as it can get a little oily layer on top which is normal for sugar scrubs.

I used this before applying my usual fake tan and it worked a treat overall.

It is quite a rough scrub but I love that as you can really feel it working at buffing the skin and making it super soft.

It was also super easy to rinse off and left my skin feeling amazing and smooth so check it out guys!

Burt's Bees products are available from Boots, Debenhams and online here.

Hey Beauties!

You guys know that I'm a huge drugstore fan and love nothing more than perusing the aisles in search of a bargain and swatching all of the loveliness.

I have my favourite drugstore brands and one of them has to be Soap + Glory, the brand that has everything from funky packaging to beautiful product quality.

I get so excited when I hear about a new drugstore release and, when that release comes from a favourite brand, you can imagine my excitement!

That's what happened when Soap + Glory released their new *Orangeasm range* and I have been putting it to the test recently so read on to hear my thoughts!

What They Say

The Body Wash from this collection is zesty fresh and softening and is packed with anti-oxidants thanks to the Triple Tea antioxidant complex.

This product also contains moisture-boosting MSUDS technology to get you singing aloud with happiness!

The Body Butter is beautifully addictive thanks to the Shea Butter massage balls and Mango Milk.

This product offers unparalleled body smoothing with a hint of zing!

What I Say

I absolutely adore this range, the packaging is cute as usual and the scent is to die for, it's uplifting, fresh and oh so zesty.

The Shower Gel created a huge lather which I love as it makes for a truly luxurious shower experience and it just filled my bathroom with scent.

It is the perfect product to use in your morning shower to perk you up!

The Body Butter is amazing, a little goes a long way and it actually sinks into the skin quite quickly for a body butter.

What I love the most about it are the little Shea Butter balls that feel a little grainy to begin with but they soon dissolve and leave your skin feeling oh so soft.

The scent lingered on my skin too which is a huge plus for me.

All in all, I love everything about these products so check them out guys!

The Soap + Glory Orangeasm range is available from Boots.

Hey Beauties!

I have been on a mission to use up the products that have been collecting dust in the back of my beauty stocks for a while now.

Nothing feels as satisfying as throwing out a tonne of empty bottles (and makes it easier to justify new purchases of course!).

One genre of products that I've been going through at a rate of knots is shower gels, due to me being rather heavy handed with them in the shower.

So when I was recently sent a shower gel from Ziaja to review, I was excited to add this into my daily rotation.

What They Say

This delicate product promises to gently cleanse and intensely moisturize the skin.

It also contains nourishing substances and won't irritate the skin.

What I Say

This product is going to be a huge challenge to use up, due to there being a massive 500ml of goodness in there!

The packaging is nice and simple and it has a lovely warm and inviting scent to it.

It has a lotion-type consistency and lathers up nicely to fill your bathroom with scent which totally adds to the shower experience for me (who doesn't love a bit of luxury?).

After rinsing this off, my skin felt nourished, soft and not parched in the slightest, although I still followed with my usual body moisturizing routine.

I also have to mention the price of this product, it comes in at roughly €3.99 for 500ml of shower gel, with a hand cream thrown in!

Simply amazing!

Hey Beauties!

You guys know that I love my skincare which makes it surprising that I can neglect other parts of my body such as my hands.

As a busy mom, it feels like I'm constantly washing bottles which totally drys out my hands leaving them rough and horrible to the touch.

Ziaja are a skincare brand that I have worked with before and I have a lot of love for them so, when they recently sent me a hand cream to check out, I was full of high hopes!

What They Say

This nourishing cream promises to protect the skin, especially the dry, rough and sensitive.

This product will restore the natural lipid layer of the skin which will prevent epidermis dryness.

It absorbs quickly and also strengthens the nails.

What I Say

I like the simple packaging of Ziaja products and I feel like it reflects their belief in simple and natural skincare.

The scent of this product is divine, so fruity and refreshing, and I love how it lingers on the hands after I apply it.

I like to apply this each night before I go to sleep and it's just perfect, it absorbs into the skin in seconds without leaving a greasy residue and leaves my skin feeling so soft and smooth.
However, as much as I love this cream, I don't love the fact that the second ingredient is Mineral Oil which we all know isn't the best.
Having said that, seeing as this is a hand cream, I don't feel too picky about the ingredients and will continue to use and love it!

This is definitely my new go-to hand cream so check it out guys!

Hey Beauties!

The subject of feet is certainly a no-go area for a lot of people, including myself.

There's just something about feet that makes me want to gag which is why I don't feature foot products much on here.

However, I have been loving strappy sandals lately which means my feet have to be in tip-top condition so I've been hard at work looking for products that will leave them baby soft.

I was recently sent some goodies from Burt's Bees including their Foot Lotion so I was super excited to see if it would make any difference to my poor tootsies...

What They Say

This creamy lotion is the perfect treat for dry and tired feet!

Containing a botanical blend of oils and extracts to help neutralize mild foot odor, this lotion is great to use at the end of a long day.

Peppermint Oil and Menthol invigorate overworked feet while Sunflower, Wheat Germ and Coconut Oils nourish and moisturize rough skin.

Lastly, this Lotion contains Beeswax to seal in some serious goodness!

What I Say

I am in love with the scent of this product, it's so zesty and minty!

A little goes a long way with this product, I like to exfoliate my feet, slather this Lotion on and put on some fluffy socks so that my feet are getting a really nice treat.

My feet were once really dry and rough but after using this Lotion for some time now, I'm certainly seeing an improvement!

I definitely think you guys should check this baby out if your feet have seen better days too!

Burt's Bees products are available from Debenhams and Online here.
