REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask Review

REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask Review

Vegan Cosmetopia Digest   Wednesday, November 16, 2016

Clean skincare is British beauty brand REN's USP. I haven't come across a single REN product I didn't love, from their eye cream to the ClearCalm Clay Cleanser.
REN products are always free of parabens, sulphates, silicones, PEGs, TEA, DEA, glycols, mineral oil, petrolatum, synthetic fragrance and artificial colours. Nor are they tested on animals.
You must have seen samples of the REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask in some of my empties posts. It is a "potent bio-active peel mask designed to renew the complexion, reduce fine lines and dramatically improve skintone."

Antonia Burrell Forest Dew Skin Conditioner Review, How To Use

Antonia Burrell Forest Dew Skin Conditioner Review, How To Use

Toner Cosmetopia Digest   Thursday, October 06, 2016

Antonia Burrell Forest Dew Skin Conditioner is versatile. It is a one-step product. It is a layer-able product. It is a moisturiser. It is a toner. It is a serum. It is an essence. It is a conditioner for the skin. What it really IS, is incredibly lush, nourishing, pampering, and gentle. Not to mention sustainably made, and cruelty-free.
Antonia Burrell, a UK-based faciallist with more than 20 years' experience, is Associate Lecturer at the London College of Fashion. Her Holistic Skincare collection is a range of multi-tasking products that are a natural blend of potent, predominantly organic, pure, bio-active plant extracts. The Forest Dew Skin Conditioner is my favourite in the range, and a part of my daily skincare routine.

Aurelia Probiotic Skincare Miracle Skin Cleanser Review

Aurelia Probiotic Skincare Miracle Skin Cleanser Review

Skin care Cosmetopia Digest   Friday, August 12, 2016

Last year, I stopped using bi-phase makeup removers and foaming cleansers after I found they were too harsh on my skin, making my breakouts worse. I first shifted to thick balm cleansers, such as Emma Hardie and Eve Lom, but both proved too much for my will-breakout-if-you-look-in-my-general-direction skin. That was when I discovered Aurelia Probiotic Miracle Cleanser.
Aurelia Probiotic is a 100% cruelty-free, botanical British skincare brand. They have some lovely oils and creams, but this cleanser is their cult product.

LookFantastic Beauty Box April 2016 Review

LookFantastic Beauty Box April 2016 Review

Tan Cosmetopia Digest   Monday, April 25, 2016

I had high expectations from the April '16 edition of LookFantastic. For starters, the theme was #LFBlooms - to celebrate Earth Month. For another, they said everything inside was a natural, organic and eco-friendly product. Naturally (pun unintended), I expected pampering, lush skincare from Pai, Antonia Burrell, Living Nature, Burt's Bees, Jurlique, Sukin, Trilogy, Nuxe and other botanical-centric brands sold on LookFantastic.

Island Kiss Tropique Pomade Lip Moisturisers

Island Kiss Tropique Pomade Lip Moisturisers

Skin care Cosmetopia Digest   Monday, March 28, 2016

Bad beauty habit confession: I tend to bite, pinch, poke, pull, scratch and chew my lips when stressed. And peel my nails, but we can psychoanalyse me another day. End result: I have seriously flaky, dry lips all the time. Which means I run through lip balms faster than I should.
Enter Island Kiss Tropique Lip Pomades (PR Sample). These are 100% natural, phthalate-, lead-, sulphate-, petroleum and paraben-free lip moisturisers, made of cold-pressed plant-based essential oils and butters. I have three from their 2016 Collection to show you.

Human+Kind Skincare: Body Lotion, Cleansing Cloths, Hand and Foot Cream

Human+Kind Skincare: Body Lotion, Cleansing Cloths, Hand and Foot Cream

Skin care Cosmetopia Digest   Wednesday, March 16, 2016

Last Summer, I discovered a skincare brand while travelling in Europe. Irish brand Human+Kind is natural and free of chemicals, petrochemicals, parabens, colourants and additives. Their tagline is "skincare with a conscience" and they claim to avoid the nasties in their products. A number of their products are multitaskers. For instance, their Family Remedy Cream addresses eight skin concerns.
The packaging is vibrant and attractive. They had quite a lot of skincare, but being paranoid about breakouts, I picked up just three mostly bath and body products - the body lotion, the Elbow+Foot+Hand Cream and Cleansing Cloths.
