Neom 'Scent With Love' Body Care Gift Set Review

 

Hay Sweets, hope you're all well and beaming after a lovely weekend?

Mine was extra lovely after receiving this beautiful Neom 'Scent With Love' Body Care Gift Set from the lovely guys and gals at Amara.co.uk on Friday. As you can see the Gift set came well packaged with care which made it extra special.

So let's start with Amara.co.uk. I'd not really heard of them until they contacted me but the second I glanced around their gorgeous website I was in love. Amara was created to 'showcase some of the World's finest luxury gift suggestions' and they really do: from Cath Kidston (you know how much I love Cath Kidston), Ralph Lauren Home to Orla Keily, they seem to have everything I would want to buy!

Being sent the Neom Gift Set was such a treat and so sweet of them, I was thrilled. Neom are all about the benefits of beautiful quality organic products. A figure on their website really stood out at me. It reads 'New studies show that the average woman is using over 250 chemicals on her skin every day'. That's just crazy and can't be healthy? Neom promises 100% natural essential oils and waxes and its lack of chemicals and amazing fragrances make it a favourite with Kate Moss, Sienna, Kylie and Gwyenth.

The Gift set comprises of a Complete Bliss Moroccan Blush Rose Hand Cream, a sensuous Ylang Ylang, Frankincense and Patchouli Body Wash and Lotion and also a Tranquility English Lavender, Sweet Basil and Jasmine Bath and Shower Oil. As you can see there is such number of different scents and I can't as yet decide which one is my favourite! I'm smelling as I type so I decide at the end!

The hand cream is gorgeous; suprisingly creamy yet light and non-greasy - it's fragrance is beautifully soft and subtle but with an invigorating undertone. It's been straight in my handbag since Saturday morning and even boyfriend has looked up from Halo4 and commented on it's smell!

The body lotion and body wash come as a matched scent and oh my do they smell amazing. They're both beautifully sweet, full and fruity but each different with the lotion hinting at more of a creamy smell too. They really are bliss for your senses. But my absolute favourite I've decided is the bath and shower oil. It comes in a sweet glass bottle and smells deep, spicy and smooth. I added one capful to my bath tonight and had the most relaxing bath ever. My whole body smelt lovely afterwards and my skin was silky soft. This oil is seriously my new heaven in a bottle.

I usually try to think critically when I review any product but so far I'm so impressed I haven't found anything to grumble about. All I can say is a big thank you to Amara.co.uk for sending me over such great quality goodies. <3

Have you every tried or bought any Neom products? I really would recommend them just for the unbelievably good frangrances, they really are special.

L'oreal Elvive Damage Care Serum Review

 

Hi Girlies, Happy Friday!!

I’ve always had long hair (apart from an awful period at University when I decided to cut it all off and literally shave one side of it – very bad look for me!) so I’ve always tried to keep it looking in good condition and shiny. Since dying it red I’ve of course noticed that it’s vital I keep it extra nourished to avoid that awful straw like look and feel.  After running out of an old serum in capsule form that I’d had for years I went in search of a new serum to match it.

There were too many to mention in Boots so I stuck to a brand I know well: L'oreals Elvive Damage Care Serum. I really notice the benefits of a serum and will always massage it into the tips of my hair after a shower and before blow drying. I’ve consistently used serum for over two years now and feel it is the reason why I get complemented about the lack of split ends I have.

I’ve been using L’oreals serum for over a month and I feel it is doing just as good a job as any other serum and would recommend it. The bottle is fairly small, made of glass and clear. I like the fact that it’s clear as you can easily tell how much you are using, sad I know but I like to be prepared and fully restocked for when I run out! The pump action of the bottle isn’t the best and I often have to pump 5 or 6 times before any serum comes out each time I go to use it. However, I would say this is the only down side. It has a subtle sweet fragrance which isn't too overpowering and does leave your hair smelling lovely. 

I'm not too sure I buy into the 'Ceramide-Cement Technology' but whatever L'oreal's oily serum is doing to my hair I have to say I like it :)

MAC Lipstick: Cyber

Hi Girlies :) sooooo, yep I pretty much dropped off the earth for a little while eeekk sorry about that. But I'm back and bringing with me yet another trusty MAC lipstick review.

So this lil dark colour is called Cyber and is part of MACs Satin Lipstick collection. I saw it on one of the makeup artists instore the other day and absolutely loved it on her. She had gorgeous dark skin and had used Cyber on the outside of her lips and a lighter pink on the inside subtly merging the two which looked swell.

The colour is a very deep dark and mysterious purple. So deep it almost looks black which is quite intimidating when you first think you'll have to apply it to your lips! After topping up with some fake tan I braved it though and I love the colour. Definitely a dark plum I'll be wearing in Autumn this year. What do you think?

Love LC
