Flourish... Irish Organic Beauty at it's finest.

For the last 2 weeks I've been using this beautiful vitamin E face cream from the Flourish organics range which are handmade in Ireland. 




This face cream is for dry to normal skin. It's rich in vitimin E which is an antioxidant and is made from all the good oils, hemp, almond, olive and it's scented with lavender to name just a few. 

This cream cost €14 for 50mls, I've been using it twice a day for 14 days and I've only used a small amount so far so this jar will last a long time, which is fantastic value for money for a great quality product.

My face feels smooth and nourished after using this cream and it smells so nice. I feel like I've had a facial treatment after using it, it's that nice. 

I've also tried out the "eye contour cream" "the facial polish" "the body scrub" "the foot lotion" and have sampled the "rose cream". They're all equally amazing. The smell of the body scrub is unbelievable, it's so beautiful, this is just one of my favourites. The list of products they sell is fantastic, I'm such a fan, there is something for everyone. 




Take a look at the website, they have some amazing beauty products.

These products are used in beauty salons, spas and 5* hotels. So they're a fantastic buy. Check the website for local stockists. You can purchase these direct from the website and shipping costs vary. 

They sell an amazing range of products from lip balms to gift baskets and everything in between. 

The gift baskets would make an ideal present for any special lady in your life, 5* quality beauty products to use daily in the comfort of your home. Every woman would love this. 

This range of products is an amazing find. I love flourish organics, I highly recommend you take a look at the website and try some of their products, you won't be disappointed!!

Green Angel

Beauty & Wellbeing From The Ocean.

For the last 2 weeks I've been using these amazing products from Green Angel. These products are handmade in Ireland with pure irish seaweed. 

Seaweed body lotion with Neroli and Chamomile.




This body lotion is so nice, it's slightly watery in consistency but this is a good thing, as it drys in really quick, which is a major bonus for me. It smells really lovely, it's like that smell you get from a beauty salons treatment room, I love that. This lotion costs €15 for 200mls. I've been using this lotion generously at least once a day for 14 days and I'm a little over half way through the bottle. My skin feels great after using this lotion, it feels really soft. I'm a huge fan.



Argan body oil with Geranium and Neroli oils. 




This oil is great, it's absorbed really quickly and smells absolutely fantastic, I actually look forward to using this oil. Argan Oil is anti ageing and great for cellulite and my skin feels really moisturized and nourished. It costs €20 for 200mls. I've been using this oil daily for 14 days and I've two thirds of the bottle left, so it lasts quite a while which is great. 

I absolutely adore these products, the smell of them alone would make me buy them again and again, but overall my skin is in great condition from daily use. 

Check out the website, www.greenangel.ie for a stockist near you, but you'll see these Green Angel products about, so try them out ladies, you'll love them!!

Chocolate Whip & Tough Stuff!!!

Two fantastic products from the Cocoa Brown range. These can be bought everywhere, Cocoa Brown products seem to be in every shop at the moment. I bought these from  Tescos. 





The Tough Stuff is a really great body scrub, it can be used on wet or dry skin 2-4 times a week. It does exactly what it says on the bottle, it removes any old stubborn false tan patches from those awkward parts, it's actually works!! It's tough but not tough in a bad way. It leaves your skin feeling so clean and soft. This cost €7.99 for 200mls.




The Chocolate Whip is so lovely, it smells delis. It "extends the life of your tan and ensures an even fade"
I love this body moisturiser, it really does help with fading tan as it doesn't contain any oil. Definitely one worth trying ladies. This cost €5.99 for 200mls. 




Definitely recommended using both these products together, you'll love the results.

Impulse buys!!

I'm such an impulse buyer, I always grab things last minute while standing at the till. 

So I've got bought these products while at the till in Lloyds pharmacy. 

Argan oil shampoo & conditioner and  Tea tree & peppermint deep moisturising hand pack. 



The Argan oil shampoo & conditioner was on special offer, €3.50 for both and the Tea tree hand pack was €1.99.



I've been using the shampoo & conditioner for over 10 days now and I have to say, I'm not a fan. It doesn't make a lot of foam in my hair while washing it, so i tend to have to use quite a lot and over all I don't think my hair does be very clean after using it, I don't have that newly washed look, it's feels quite dull and flat. I definitely wouldn't buy this again. 





I'm not great with using hand cream, I always forget, so my hands tend to suffer quite a bit, having a 2 year old son my hands are in and out of water a lot and they get very dry. This hand pack is great, it's just 2 gloves filled with the Tea tree and peppermint treatment, you leave the gloves on for 20 minutes. My hands felt and looked great after using this, they felt so moisturised. This is a great buy and at €1.99 it's well worth it. I'll definitely be picking more of these up for sure.

Protect & Perfect!!

I love a good face serum, if I think it's going to work I'll buy it. 

I don't want to get bad wrinkles any time soon, so I'm willing to try them all. 

I've gone for the No 7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Serum





It's so popular at the moment and is advertised absolutely everywhere, so I thought it time to put it to the test. 
It cost €33 from boots. 

I've been using this serum day and night now for 14 days. I put it on before my face cream, I also make sure it's well dried in before I apply my face cream, although it does dry really quickly, it's not oily or greasy in any way, it feels really light. 

I really like this serum, it makes my skin feel so smooth and soft. 

On the box it says visibly younger looking skin after 2 weeks.

I honestly can see a small difference, the lines on my forehead have faded slightly, which is great. Result!! 




I just love how it makes my skin feel. I'm definitely a fan and would 100% buy this product again.  I'm excited to see what it's like after 4 weeks!!

GLOSSYBOX!!!

Have you heard of this?

It's such a fantastic idea, if your buying for yourself or as a gift for someone, it's such a nice thing to receive in the post. 






You basically order on line at Glossybox.com and fill in your beauty preferences. You can sign up to a one off box or you can choose a 3 monthly subscription, 6 monthly etc. You can update your beauty profile too so your preferences change with the monthly deliveries. 

I choose the one off box first as I wanted to see what it was like before I committed to a subscription. It cost €17.02 for this box including postage. I was so excited when this came in the post and couldn't wait to see what was inside. 

I wasn't dissapointed!! 





How great are the contents!! 




This is a really nice BB cream from Garnier, love the colour, easy to apply, I apply it with my real techniques miracle complexion sponge work brilliantly. Wears really well too. 




Tried this velvet smooth night mask 3 nights in a row now and it's really good. My feet feel really smooth, it's such a thick cream so I put socks on after I use it to get the full effect. 




Don't wear false nails, I'm a shellac girl through and through so maybe I'll pass these to my mom to try out? Mom? 




Love love love this mascara, I'm a big Rimmel mascara fan anyway, but never tried this exact one, it's really great, will definitely buy this again. 



This is a lovely colour lipstick, not usually something I would buy normally, but love the colour, only need to use a small amount, then a bit of gloss. Perfect!! 


This is worth well over €17, you would pay alot more if you were to buy these individually. They're great products too, products that you would buy yourself, so I'm very happy with my "Glossybox"

I will definitely be ordering more of these, I love this idea. It's brilliant!!
