Beauty: The Beauty Review

Here's a little round up of the beauty products I've been using recently.

Percy & Reed Totally TLC Hydrating Mask £20 BUY HERE

I have dry fuzzy hair which I make worse by my daily endeavour to iron out the kinks, so my hair needs the TLC that this mask promises. It's a rich and creamy formula that I use once a week. I rub it through the entire length of my hair, then pop on the included shower cap for at least 10 minutes before rinsing. It doesn't leave any heavy residue, my hair simply feels soft and thicker and looks healthy and shiny. It contains marshmallow to nourish and strengthen and coconut and mango oils to condition and moisturise. The smell, specially created by the brand, is fresh and pleasant with hints of apple, citrus and rose. A must buy if your tresses are in need of some TLC.

L'Occitane Angelica Exfoliating Gel £19 BUY HERE

I love exfoliating my skin, be it with scrubs, muslin cloths, brushes, gels, creams...you name it and I'll try buffing my skin with it. This formulation from French brand L'Occitane, is incredibly gentle making it ideal for sensitive skins and regular use. It has a grainy, creamy texture that contains natural gum micro-beads to tease away dead skin cells and massage the skin. It also contains organic angelica extract to hydrate. You only need a broad bean size amount to do the face and neck. It left my skin feeling fresh, clean and smooth with no sign of redness or irritation.

Cowshed Moody Cow Balancing Bath & Shower Gel £18 BUY HERE

A traumatic birth, a newborn to care for, sleep deprivation (the list goes on), have all contributed to me feeling out of sorts lately, definitely a bit of a moody cow. While using this gel doesn't help clean my home or soothe a crying baby, it does perk me up a little during my evening shower. The luxurious gel contains essential oils of rose geranium to regulate emotions and hormones, frankincense to calm and soothe and linden blossom to help relieve tension. I've almost finished this bottle and I think for the sake of my sanity I will be buying another toot sweet.
