Delight Touch Review

Hey girls and guys, I am back with a beauty review on some products sent to me by a brand, who wanted me to test out their items for you all, so I have used it a few times and already feel like sharing with you what I think of their products because I am so impressed with them.

hope you like the review feel free to leave any comments below and I will try reply or answer any questions you may have, or alternatively as most of you prefer you can email me.

About The Company

What Delighted Touch Say About Themselves.

For many years we have researched & adopted a healthy lifestyle.

We still enjoy a occasional drink & flavoursome food. However where possible we choose organic food drink & cosmetics over non organic, which can & does contain a whole heap of nasty toxic chemicals & ingredients. These nasty toxins over time break down your bodies natural defences to keeping you fit & well. We were shocked to find out just how much of these chemicals were added to top name high street cosmetic brands. So we decided to start making our own organic cleansers then moisturisers & things grew from there, as we searched for more unique herbal extracts from across the globe that would expand our range with purity & quality & so

CLEANSER

A lovely gentle cucumber cleanser made with organic ingredients that are kind to you're skin, I really enjoyed trying this not only did it make my skin soft it made my skin have a nice glow and really made my skin feel and look better even before putting my makeup on, and after putting my makeup on my skin still felt soft and cleansed, It defo gets my approval with been organic and cruelty free it is really kind to everyone, you and the animals etc.

Only downside for me was with not having much of a skincare routine already there was no instructions on the bottle so I had to ask the company how to use it, so for anyone who is not sure you pop it on your face then rinse it off.

INGREDIENTS

Aqua (Water), Ricinus communis (Organic Castor) Seed Oil, Cucumis sativa (cucumber) Extract, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Cocos nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Prunus armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Glyceryl stearate, Calendula officinalis (Calendula) Flower & Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Calendula officinalis (Calendula) Flower Extract, Prunus dulcis (Sweet Almond) Kernel Oil, Cetearyl alcohol, Benzyl alcohol, salicylic acid, sorbic acid, Aloe barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Citrus aurantifolia (Lime) Oil, Citrus aurantium dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Citrus Limon Peel Oil, Cananga odorata (Ylang Ylang) Flower Oil, Cymbopogon martini (Palmarosa) leaf oil, Ocimum basilicum (Basil) Leaf Oil, Pelargonium graveolens (Geranium) Flower Oil, Geraniol, Citronellol

MOISTURIZER

Wow such a gentle moisturizer absorbed very well into my skin although i needed a few more squirts to cover my face because it is dry, a nice feel of moisturizer to as some on the highstreet can be too liquidy or harsh on the skin with harsh chemicals etc, but with this one I didn't have a problem as mentioned it is organic and as natural ingredients that really do care for your skin Organic arctic oat and chia seed is a excellent choice for a daily moisturiser,

it improves skin elasticity and won’t clog pores.suitable for sensitive and dry skin.

INGREDIENTS

Aqua (Water), Oenothera biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil, Glycerin (Veg), Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Glyceryl stearate, Brassica Abyssinica, Salvia hispanica (Chia) seed oil, Butyrospermum parkii (Organic Shea) Butter, Persea gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Benzyl alcohol, salicylic acid, sorbic acid, Macadamia ternifolia (Macadamia) Seed Oil, Cetearyl alcohol, Aloe barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Avena Sativa (Arctic Oat) Seed Extract, Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Aniba rosaeodora (Rosewood) Wood Oil, Citrus medica limonum (peel) oil, Citrus aurantium bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Jasminum officinale (Jasmine) Flower extract, Lavandula angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Oil, Linalool, Limonene, Geraniol, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Alcohol, Eugenol

Overall Verdict

Overall I am very impressed not only with delighted touch company but also their products too because All delight touch cleansers and creams are specifically ph balanced to the skin's natural ph. Not only this but the products are cruelty free meaning no harm done to the animals, I really love the cleanser as it is very gentle on my skin and does not sting like some high street cleansers do when I put on my face, so this is a far better cleanser for me.

I also love the moisturizer again very gentle on my skin and absorbed very well into my skin which is usually dry, all the ingredients in these products I tested have great benefits to the skin healing properties antioxidants etc so they are worth the price you pay for them.

As mentioned above the only downside to me was no instructions on the bottle to how to use the cleanser as like myself I wasn't sure to leave it on or rise off because I know every product on market is different so it might be useful for delighted touch to include some instructions especially for people who might be new to using cleansers etc.

Glitter Lips Molly Dolly

Hey guys and girls, I hope you are all keeping well, sorry I don't blog as much as I would like day to day life is just manic with looking after the home, and my little girl and juggling 101 things, anyway I am back with a review for you for a product not only am i excited to try it, I am excited to share with you what the product is like. 

About glitter lips

Glitter lips is a great lip product not only will your lips look glittery and glamourous, the product is kiss proof yes you heard me once the product as set and you can kiss your hand sometimes at first bit of glitter may come off but lips still look fine, after a while any loose glitter that will be gone, will reveal the rest which is smudge proof water proof and kiss proof.

Warnings

If you think you may be allergic to any of the ingredients please do a patch test 24 hours prior to wearing the product, safety first as much as it is tempting to skip that part.

First Impressions

When it was arrived I was skeptical of how the glitter would stay on lips, also was intrigued to try it with it been easy to use, i wasnt to sure on the glitter pot been small as i opened in carefully and see how careful you have to be otherwise you will end up with glitter everywhere meaning you will have to replace it if that should happen.

On the first use I was very excited to try so applied a nice small amount of the sticky gloss to my lips which felt a bit like glue very sticky (so be careful not to stick your lips together),then picked up my glitter pot and opened it carefully trying not to shake and spill the glitter I just about managed it, I put on some glitter with the applicator which seemed to work ok, although do feel a dif brush may of applied it better but it seemed to of worked nicely.

I

Anyway This was the finished result to what it looks like once applied which ain't too bad, although if wearing on night out etc i would suggest maybe taking it with you in your bag if you want to touch up the product as day to day things ie drinking,talking smoking can make it gradually come off your lips, which is pretty normal like with most lipsticks.

What I like about the product.

I love how easy it is to apply to the lips,just apply the gloss then the glitter.

I also love how glittery lips are after applying the product to your lips.

What I don't like about the product

I wasnt keen on how sticky my lips felt after applying the gloss,

It felt almost like putting glue on lips very sticky, saying that if it wasn't sticky then the glitter wouldn't of gone on, so do say the sticky feeling  will take getting used to.

Also didn't like the fact the glitter pot is tiny, which means you have to open the pot carefully otherwise your floor will be covered in glitter, so you may want to put out of reach of young children and anyone who may be prone to touching your things.

Overall Verdict

Overall I do like the product but a few things for me kinda makes me not like it such as the glitter pot been that small and cos it filled to top you have to be careful opening it,

I would of liked to see maybe a bigger pot which is deeper which would be great to prevent spillage. Also if they had a bigger pot they maybe could use that as an advantage for their brand and to buyer to sell big refill bottles to fill up the pot with meaning you never run out.

This aside I do like the product itself I love how nice and glittery lips are after the product is applied makes me feel very girly and glamourous. The other thing i didn't like about applying the product was how sticky my lips felt they felt very tight like they had glue on them and once glitter was on felt very glittery, but I guess if they wasn't sticky  then the glitter wouldnt of stuck that well, so as mentioned further up the sticky feeling is something that I will have to get used to as well as glittery feel, which is ok But thought I would mention it so you know this beforehand.

Q&As

Where can I buy Glitter Lips?

Superdrugs sell the glitter lips, and so does the beauty boulevard and this is beauty mart also sell glitter lips, please check out all of the stores listed above if you wish to buy glitter lips or to check stock levels if you're thinking of buying soon.

How much Is Glitter Lips to buy?

Rrp is £12.50 for 30ml which is bit pricey but not to much as the glitter lasts ages.

What colours Does glitter lips come in?

It comes in many gorgeous colours blues pinks and more,

you can see which colours they have by visiting the website.

Bandzee The only hairband your ever Need

copyright bandzee

Hey guys n girls sorry the delay this should of been posted a week ago but i have not been well I have had a bad cold more like flu I felt so rough and couldn't bring myself to writing so apologies to everyone, hope you are all well, Today I am reviewing bandzee sent to me by bandzee. Before we start, I have been sent this product as a gift in exchange for a honest review. As always views and thoughts on the product are my own and I will always state any good and bad I find in a product where I can, as I believe there is good and bad in everything.

What Is Bandzee?

So bandzee sent me a few packs of their super cool design bandzees to anyone who doesn't know what bandzee are, they are a super cool hair tie that not only looks pretty on your wrist. We all know how frustrating it is when you can only find one hair band you do to tie your hair up tighter and tighter then all of a sudden snap, well with bandzee kiss goodbye to getting your heart broken by your hairbands, who are disloyal to your hair leaving kinks every time you tie it up, bandzee is your new best friend and very loyal to you and your hair. It won't break up on you, it won't damage your hair or your feelings.

First Impression?

Upon arrival I opened the envelope and was really surprised to see the lovely designs inside,

Even my little girl was like I want them, I want to wear one on my wrist, When I opened the pack and removed a bandzee I stumbled across some wording on the cardboard packaging, and then looked to see if my other two packs had it which they did but different words, which I really loved because they are quite inspiring words and thought that was one of the great things with packaging, for the amount of young girls or guys who will be using banzee nice to see such inspirational quotes on there too inspire them. So when I first tried using a bandzee on my little girl I was abit skeptical as she sometimes moans when I try tie her hair as normal hair bands can be tight and uncomfy, but with bandzee she didn't seem to make as much of a fuss when i was tying her hair In fact I could tie her hair quite well, and it wasn't to tight like some new hairbands are.

Did You Know?

Bandzee also do subscriptions, which means you can get a pack of bandzee sent to your door each month, for 4.95 each month which means you save £1 per pack as bandzee retail at 5.95 this might be idea for someone you know wanting a subscription that’s different.

Might be good for a gift for a friend who always loses their hairbands?

Overall Verdict!

Overall I am impressed with bandzee they tie your hair and also look good on the wrist, they are not too tight to wear in your hair or on wrist, they easy to use and made doing my daughters hair much easier without all the moaning it hurts and it is too tight, bandzee gets the thumbs up from my little girl and me and my partner, we really love the designs and how each pack as a lovely inspirational quote on which is a good thing for anyone reading, positive messages and quotes have great impact on young people, the only thing I am not sure on is the price purely because I am used to buying big bulk hair bands and getting loads but putting the quantity aside and judging price on how well bandzee worked I think the price isn't too bad. even though I am impressed with bandzee I will continue to use normal hair bands as well until every last hairband I own snaps and breaks, then may think about investing in bandzees because they do not break easily like hair bands do.

Not sure what else to say other than why not buy a pack and see if you like bandzee and if they meet all your hair needs, one thing for sure I am hoping bandzee will bring out different sizes like bigger ones for people who may have loads of hair or loads of dreadlocks and wants to tie them all up together.

I LOVE Coconut

I love…. coconut hand cream and body butter review.

Hello boys and girls I am back again with a review on some I love products.

Yep I have some more from the company this time I do not have a bubble bath,

but instead have a body butter and a hand cream I am excited to share with you all.

Here is The review hope you enjoy reading.

About I love..

taken from the website.

I Love is a bath, body and beauty brand that lovingly creates,

the most gorgeous, deliciously scented products in the World.

All our products are bursting full of ideas, inspiration and happiness. They are fun and sensuous and all encapsulate the most memorable, delicious and delectable scents that magically transport the user to a different place, evoking powerful memories and injecting a little piece of happiness into our customers lives.

Hand Cream

The Hand cream smells very much of coconut like it states, quite a sweet smell and kinda makes you hungry and to eat something sweet afterwards, the smell for me was nice if you love coconut this is the hand cream for you, also the hand cream is very nice on the hands I always using my hands doing housework all day long,constantly bleaching my kitchen worktops few times a day. (ocd) typing reviewing going out in all weathers like most people put my hands through so much they feel dry and horrid at the end of each day the hand cream made my hands feel soft and smoothe which was a plus.

Body Butter

Wow after a nice long soak in a very hot bubbly bath I got out the bath and as usual dried myself off. 

Then notice in my review pile My body butter sitting there, so thinking great perfect opportunity to try it I opened it and straight away the smell of coconuts hits me, it kinda also smelt like rice pudding in a weird way that sweet delicious smell I take a small scoop probably about the size of a small plum and evenly rub it on my legs, omg after just shaving them this put moisture into my skin,The body butter made my skin smell nice and feel smooth.

Overall Verdict

I really loved both products they smell delightful and sweet and made my skin feel nice and smooth, although hubby disagreed and said the  handcream  went from smelling like coconut too smelling like something else a bit like tobacco but not sure if that's because he smokes again it might be but he didn't think it smelt like coconut like I did.

although he did say the body butter smells like coconut more than the handcream did.

but i thought the hand cream smelt more of coconut and the body butter smelt like rice pudding, weird how we smell things in different ways.

But I liked the smell but did find the scent didn't last as long as i would of liked it too but like most products I  feel not many products scents last long anyway.

Overall though I am pleased with the product and am excited to go out and buy it again, maybe put some in the christmas and birthday cupboard so I can gift some to people throughout the year.

The only thing I would change about the product is having the body butter in a squirty container although i do love the one it is in already a squirty one might also be good for some people who prefer that when it comes to lotions and potions for our bodies.

I love Social media.
