First Impressions

As soon as I opened the pretty gold package, I could already smell the zesty orange scent coming from the Orange Soufflé Hand & Body Butter. All the products smell so fresh and natural. I love the packaging, it’s so sophisticated and clearly labelled.

Aloe Shea Moisturising Face Primer

I have been using the primer as a daily moisturiser for the past couple of days. So I will let you know how it works underneath my makeup on my instagram.

The primer has a very light, smooth and velvety texture, almost like a mouse. It was very easy to apply and left my skin feeling moisturised and soft without making my face look or feel oily, which is definitely a bonus for me as I have combination skin. I love how it keeps my skin smooth and moisturised throughout the day and it melts into my skin really well.

I love when products smell natural, especially if I’m using them on my face. This primer has a nice natural and subtle scent. The Shea Butter and Ylang-ylang really comes through.

Out of 5: 4/5 Only because I haven’t used it with makeup yet. My skin has responded really well to this primer.

Orange Soufflé Hand & Body Butter

 

I work in a kitchen and I’m constantly washing up, so my hands are always dry. I thought it would be best to use this butter for my hands. Washing up using the harsh chemical at work without any gloves has irritated my skin. I massaged the soufflé into my hands, I could feel a difference fairly quickly. I noticed that it reduced the redness on my hand and really soothed the itchy/irritable feeling I had before applying the butter.

Love the smell, it’s smells like a Jaffa Cake (I love Jaffa Cakes…God, now I really want Jaffa Cakes😢).

Soufflé is definitely the best way to describe the texture. It’s sooooo smooth and light.

Out of 5: 5/5 I’ve given this a 5 out of 5 because it does what it’s meant to do, so I don’t really have any complaints. I think this would be good for anyone who wants a gentle and moisturising body butter. 

Citrus Shea Body Polish

 

This smells like fresh orange peel 😍. The smell makes me feel like I’m in a fancy spa somewhere. It’s really comforting.

I was so excited to try this out, I love the feel of a good facial/body scrub.

I first tried it out on the back of my hand just to see how it felt. Even though I do prefer larger granules, I actually really liked the feel of the fine granules in this scrub. It left my hand feeling smoother and it looks a little brighter too.I then used the body Polish whilst in the bath👐👐Not only does it smell amazing, but it made me skin feel amazing too. I worked it into my neck, chest and arms for a minute or two then I rinsed it off. I was not expecting my body to feel so smooth. It felt as if I had covered myself in coconut oil, I wasn’t left feeling dry at all. It was really comforting to know that I could smell the Body Polish on my skin throughout the day.

Out of 5: 10/10 This was my favourite😍. I had to give this a huge score because it’s amazing. I would definitely recommend this, and I think this is a perfect product for a self care day.
