Hello everyone, today I am going to be showing you four of the different products that have really impressed me recently. I have been trying and testing a lot of different products recently and really evaluating which ones have that WOW factor that makes you think that you'll use them until the end of time.

Soap and Glory glad hair day shampoo and conditioner- Targeted to repair and strengthen hair this is perfect for anybody with fine or damaged hair, I have found that my hair looks much thicker and as though it has much more volume. They are suitable for any hair types including coloured and leave your hair smelling fresh clean and flowery.

Clinique clarifying lotion- In January I bought the Clinique three- step skincare kit for normal to combination skin, I wasn't keen on the cleanser or moisturizer however the toner made my face feel fresh, clean and as though all of the dirt had been completely removed from my face, the only thing that I will say is that you should put on a moisturizer after use because it does dry out your skin.

Volume glamorous max holidays mascara by Bojois- This is currently my go-to mascara because it glides onto the lashes beautifully leaving no clumpy parts behind and extending the lashes out for a fuller look. It's also waterproof which is important if you decide to go swimming anywhere.

Sensationail polish to gel transformer kit- This has most impressed me, I was truly shocked when I found out that you could mix a specially formulated gel varnish with a normal every day nail varnish to create a gel nail varnish in the colour that you want. I decided to mix one of my favourite red varnishes with the gel and used the UV lamp that came with the polish to cure my nails and whala, you have a gel manicure that will last you for two weeks!

I hope you found this post interesting and helpful to read, after all that's what i'm here for.

Today I am going to be introducing you to the upcoming skincare brand Botanicals. Botanicals was first set up as a small company in some restored stables in 2004 where they would produce their uniquely formulated potions and lotions.
The aim of Botanicals is to provide personal care products as close to nature as possible, their products are pure, safe and fully conform to the European Cosmetics Products Safety Regulations.
All formulations are free from skin irritants such as petrochemicals, sodium lauryl/laureth sulphate and propylene glycol, and so if you are a sufferer of very sensitive skin (like me) then you are unlikely to have an allergic reaction to Botanicals products.
All products from Botanicals are cruelty free and suitable for vegetarians. One of the main things that I appreciate about Botanicals is that they are very sustainable and use biodegradable products and recyclable/ recycled packaging.
Some of the awards given to Botanicals are shown below:

I was sent two items to review from Botanicals, the first one is the nourishing face balm.

The aim of the nourishing face balm is to soften and enhance the texture of your skin and is made entirely of active plant ingredients this supports the skin to regenerate new and healthy skin cells. There is no water to bulk up this balm meaning that a small amount will last a long time, I would recommend using half a pea size of balm when applying to the face.
The key ingredients in the nourishing face balm consist of-

• Shea butter
  
• Grapeseed oil
• White and green tea extracts
  
• Wild rose
• Palmarosa and rose geranium.

I have been using this face balm for a couple of weeks now and I have definitely noticed that my skin feels much softer, I found that it has a better consistency than usual face balm and moisturizer because it has a thickness somewhere in between the two and so it is not too thick and still allows your skin to breathe, but it is thick enough to make your face perfectly soft. I love the smell of this balm as it is tangy and zingy and does not have any added fragrance and so smells amazing naturally.
I would definitely recommend this face balm to anybody with very Dry and sensitive skin, it is £22.50 for 30g and can be found on the Botanicals website here:

The next product that I am going to be talking to you about is the rose and camellia moisturizer.

I found that this moisturizer smelt similarly to the face balm, however it was much creamier and absorbed into my skin faster, it nourishes the skin daily keeping it healthy and hydrated. It also promotes the skins natural balance. One pump of moisturizer is absolutely plenty when evenly scattered around the face and neck.
The key ingredients are:

• Shea butter
• Cocoa butter
• Rosehip oil
• Aloe vera
• Carrot oil
• White tea extract
• Green tea extract
• Wild rose
• Rose geranium
• Ylang and palmarosa essential oils

The pump dispenser is good for the hygiene of the product and helps with ease of use. The packaging is beautiful and I love the dark little bottle and the cute font used on the outer sticker of the bottle. The moisturizer glides onto the skin nicely and smoothly, a small amount goes far.
I would recommend this product to anybody with mature or dry skin as it is very hydrating and thick. There are products that Botanicals sell for all sorts of different skin types. It is £22.50 for a 30ml bottle and can be found on their website here:
http://www.botanicals.co.uk/natural-face-moisturiser-rose-camellia/


Overall I think that the brand is reliable and provides good quality items for the price, both items I have tested have proven to make my skin feel super smooth and healthy and I would recommend trying Botanicals out.
