Brand Review: Essence Cosmetics

Essence Cosmetics are a cruelty-free German company who are owned by Cosnova, who are also cruelty-free. They are an extremely budget-friendly brand who first came to my attention when I read that their mascaras were good and when I heard they were being stocked by Wilko's in the UK, I got myself down there swiftly to have a gander.

The first time I went, I picked up quite a haul and out of that, I found 3 must-have products.

Review: Nom Nom Mother and Baby Skincare

Without Within is at the heart of Nom Nom

Without

What we leave out is as important as what we include.

I recently tried some of the award-winning Nom Nom range, skincare for mother and baby made without the usual nasties. They are Soil Association certified, vegan (apart from their perineum balm which has beeswax) and the baby range has no tree nut oils or essential oils.

Review: Botanicals Nourish Hydrating Mist

I was sent a sample of this lovely mist by Botanicals to try. It is cruelty free and vegan with extracts of rose and camellia and is suitable for dry and mature skin (they also do a gentle mist for sensitive skin).

June Empties - Balm Balm, Coconut King, Baby Boo Bamboo

Hmm, there's not a lot to show for this month. Other bloggers put me to shame. Perhaps I threw a few things away without realising. Anyway, without further ado.

BALM BALM FRANKINCENSE HYDROSOL SOOTHING FACIAL TONIC

Review: Laid Bare Body Butter and Scrub

I've recently been trying two products in the Laid Bare range, their Butter Me Up organic shea body butter and their Scrub A Dub Dub face and body scrub.
Laid Bare is a UK brand that uses 97-100% natural ingredients with no nasties.

Review: Botanicals Deep Peace Mineral Soak and Body Oil

Recently I had the fortune to try out the Botanicals Deep Peace Mineral Soak and Deep Peace Body Oil. Botanicals are a UK company who are registered with the Soil Association and vegan and I love their products.

I don't often take a bath due to time restraints but there's no doubt it's the ultimate relaxation tool and I really looked forward to trying this range out before bed.
