My obsession with Melvita lives on!

I hope you can join me in my obsession with Melvita and what I love the most is that they focus on customer needs without getting gimmicky!
Not much to say other than these are two recent additions to the range and are simply worth adding to your toiletry bag...

Plumping Radiance Cream is aimed towards the fruitfully youthful who should be aware that one day they will age and are able to most gratefully and gracefully if they start now!

This is another delight which in my opinion smells fantastic and makes my skin feel well protected, firmer and cared for.

Beauty Alert: Melvita Plumping Radiance Duo.

The idea of a bi-phase product excites me, I champion them in skincare, mainly eye make up removers, after all they lift off the toughest make up.  Now imagine my delight when I walked into the Melvita Press Day about a month ago and clapped eyes on this, Plumping Radiance Duo.  It is true beauty, beauty dew and beauty nectar, right there!
This floral water and oil combo means softening and glow from the Damask Rose Oil, whilst the Damask Rose Floral Water hyrdates and soothes it continues to keep skin plump as the oil locks it in.  Et voila! Healthy, plump skin!
Its available to purchase as of this month and tis ideal for travel to far flung places in transit and as an After-Sun, it will lock in moisture intensely, something you will want if you are trying to keep your tan.
To use I would suggest a few pumps into the palms of your hand then press onto skin, however if you like a good 'after-sun spritz' you could spray generously over the face, shoulders and hair, at arms length, for a healthy sheen (and pretty envious one I should imagine!)

I'm not fooling you, Oh Lief is here to stay!

When I get my hands on beauty products, which after a few times of use, has me thinking, 'Great!  It does exactly what is says on the tin!' I get pretty excited and need to share. Some of you may have seen the odd tweet from me mentioning the newest natural brand, Oh Lief which has me elated and guess what?  Some of the products actually do come in a tin AND out perform some of the very latest, premium body care products on the market.  Oh yes they do!

I'm a bit lazy when it comes to my lips, not with colour, I adore a bright lip but tending to dry lips is a really bad habit of mine.  I keep tubes and jars in my purse but only when its getting to cracking point do I slather on balm.  I am trying to get out of that habit so on my recent trip I delighted in keeping Oh Lief Lip Wax with me at all times and apply before even the slightly sign of dryness appeared.  The scent is soothing and texture is, well, balmy without the greasiness and it does last hours on my lips.

I'm all for steering clear of dry skin on my body not only to keep it hydrated and nourished but to avoid unsightly marks and blemishes which is why I apply cream, lotion and now Oh Lief Body Wax,  all part of my beauty ritual from such a young age, so much so that I feel odd if I don't perform it.  The scent blows me away, no, really! Grapefruit is so refreshing and as much as I'd be hard pushed to eat a grapefruit, its a pleasure to inhale the citrus notes every time I apply it.  More than this, your entire family can use these products, there is no fear of males thinking its all 'girly' smells.  Oh Lief even have a Baby range worth checking out, without doubt

Top Tip:  In addition to applying the Body Wax try the Natural Body Oil, yes, the winter months, central heating and certain materials against our skins take their toll which results in dryness and even more dryness therefore, occasionally opting for a boost with oil will have you truly moisturised and your skin ready for unveiling this Summer!

Organic Surge Shower Gel.

I am not going to go into the 'ethical' nature of the brand, as it's quite simply a 'no-brainer'.  What I will say is I didn't expect to write up about this product, it is a shower gel after all and what can be said about that other than it cleans me and smells nice.  

It is clearly stated on the front of Organic Surge Sugared Almond Shower Gel, "Your Skin's Best Friend" and I would admit to this, it is like a best friend. It's reliable and enhances my mornings, although it doesn't laugh at my jokes, I still love it so and would stock up on this product again.

The essential oils, namely palmarosa and almond are not sickly sweet but aromatic, in a grown up way.  I expected this shower gel to be grainy because of the words 'sugared almond' plus with the labelling 'softening' I really did expect quite a 'bitty' exfoliating texture but no, it's smooth and leaves my skin feeling soft, refreshed and revitalised.

Organic Surge shower gel is a lovely addition to my winter routine, it is all about hydration and lifting my spirits on these dull mornings with the added bonus of being 100% natural, it's only £3.99.
