The Body Shop Hemp Overnight Moisturising Rescue Mask Review

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! Skincare is always important so I thought that I would talk to you all about a Face Mask that I have tried.

List Of Ingredients: 
Aqua/Water/Eau, Glycerin, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Myristyl Myristate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil, Panthenol, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Parfum/Fragrance, Ethylhexylglycerin, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Hyaluronate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Limonene, Linalool, Citric Acid, Tocopherol, Geraniol, Undaria Pinnatifida Extract, Citral, CI 77288/Chromium Oxide Greens, CI 19140/Yellow 5.

The Body Shop released this as a part of their Spring Range. If you have ever been to The Body Shop, then you will probably know about their very well known Hemp Hand Cream. Well, for 2020, The Body Shop have decided to branch out the Hemp range into other parts of the store rather than the range just consisting of the well known Hand Cream. I really don't know much about the benefits of Hemp and thought that it would be good to try it out to see if it helps my skin in any way, shape or form.

I wasn't sure on what to expect when it came to the scent of this product as I wasn't really that sure of what Hemp smelt of. The scent of this product is kind of a mix of sort of grass mixed with a sort of cooling beach inspired cologne. At first, I wasn't sure whether or not I enjoyed the scent, but the longer I left it on my face, the more I enjoyed the scent.

The directions called for me to either use the face mask for 10 minutes or to leave it on overnight, so, I decided to leave it on overnight. The texture of the product when I was applying it to my face was light and creamy. It reminded me of a Day Cream that I had used before. I left it on just before I went to bed and left it to do it's magic whilst I slept, which is rare at the minute due to everything that is going on. I woke up and my skin felt great. My skin felt plump but as my skin is pretty much super dry at the minute, I felt like I still needed a tad more moisturising but I think that's a skin thing more than the mask.

Would I buy it again? If they did it in the sort of sample size that I have been using then sure as I think that its a great mask to boost moisture every now and again? Would I buy it in it's full size? Probably not, mainly because I don't think I would use it enough to rationalise the price of this product.

Do try it out for yourself when you can and tell me what you think of the product!

Munching To My Own Groovy Beat | Aldi Groovy Biscuits Review

Hey everyone!

Welcome to a brand new blog post! Whilst I was on my Aldi quarantine shop, I saw some interesting products that I wanted to try. So, I thought I'd tell you all about one of those products in today's blog post.

I remember when I was in my youth, that supermarkets used to sell M&M and Twix based biscuit snacks. These used to consist of, shortbread biscuit, chocolate, and either caramel underneath the chocolate for the Twix ones, or M&M's on top for the M&M ones. So, when I was in Aldi, I noticed a packet that showed a product that resembled the M&M ones and I knew that I had to have them.

'Crispy biscuits with a caramel and milk chocolate filling, decorated with milk chocolate filled candy shells.' - Aldi UK.

I love the textural difference in each and every one of these snacks. The mix of crumbly shortbread, mixed with the smooth caramel and chocolate and then the crunchy candy shells is exquisite. It's like a party in your mouth.

These snacks are very tasty and once you have had one, you end up wanting more. The taste of the buttery shortbread goes beautifully with the buttery caramel and sweet chocolate. I know that describing all of this makes the product seem very sickly and sweet but there is something about these snacks that aren't too sweet. I think that these would go perfectly with a hot drink and a good TV show. They are only 99p for a pack too which is a steal!

Have you tried these? Do you remember the old biscuits that I am on about? What are your favourite biscuits? Let me know down below!

Lush Harajuku Bath Bombs 2020 First impressions

Hey everyone!

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I thought that today, I would talk to you all about the seven bath bombs from the Harajuku range that dropped at all Lush stores, earlier in the year.

Notice: I smelled all of the products within this post before the lockdown and I didn't go out during these difficult times just for the intention of creating content. 

Temple Of The Sky 

First of all, I love the design of this product. For some particular reason, this bomb reminds me of Zelda. I'm not really sure why but it just does. The Blue and Yellow of the product, make me also think about the Spring. The bright blue skies mixed with the yellow of the blooming flowers that you sometimes see whilst on walks. The scent is amazing. Bright and citrusy. If you love anything that is bright and just invigorating when it comes to smells then you will love this one. I kinda think of this, as, a mixture of Orange, Lemon and Grapefruit, all crammed into a bath bomb!

Tengri 

I loved the look of this one. I can imagine that this product, will create a great colour when it is in the tub. This product does contain Lavender, but from the first sniff of this product, I didn't get Lavender. I'm not the biggest fan of Lavender, so that's a plus for me, but it might be different when it is dropped into water. This product reminds me of, Big Blue, from Lush. It also reminds me of that sort of clean Eucalyptus based Shower Gels that you find at most luxury brands such as Molton Brown.

Black Ninja 

Black Ninja is such a cute bath bomb. I love any product that is black, as it matches the colour of my soul. The main scent that I got from this one, was a mixture of Patchouli and Floral. I realise that sounds like such a weird mixture, but I kind of liked it. I do like most things that contain Patchouli though. This product also contains Popping Candy, so I would love to see how the little ninja pops off within the water.

Rose Clay Salt Cube 

Rose Clay is one that I was confused at when I saw that it had dropped at Lush. I was kind of expecting it to be Rose Jam scented, due to Rose Jam being such a beloved scent at Lush. Nevertheless, the scent of Rose Clay Salt Cube is something that I haven't smelt before. It's slightly florally, like freshly picked flowers with a hint of freshness. If you like scents that aren't full on, then I would definitely recommend this one.

Flight 

Sadly, I don't think I was fully sold on this one. I always have a few that take me a few times sniffing before I love them when it comes to Lush products. I think that Flight is one of them. The smell was kind of a mix of fresh and woody. I think I would need to try this one in the bath before fully making my mind up on if I like it or not.

Roar!

If you love Bath products, and you love any type of dinosaur based film, then I think that you're going to love this one. This is one of the cutest Bath Bombs that Lush has created in a long while. The scent is slightly earthy, but at the same time, it is slightly fresh. If you love sort of Grass based scents then you will love this one. I think that this is a great product to use when you want perking up a bit. I think that it would also be a great product to give as a gift too.

Blue Gardenia Salt Cube 

Again, like the Rose Salt Cube, I was expecting it to be heavily floral scented. (If you're familiar with Lush, then I was expecting tt to smell slightly like Goddess). Instead, it smelt slightly crisp with a whisper of floral to em. Slightly like fresh cotton with some fresh flower petals mixed in for good measure.
