Passion 4 Natural Skincare - Review

 Goooood Morning guys,
 
I hope that you are all having a fabulous summer, although where I am the weather can't seem to make it's mind up!
 
Speaking of the summer, you ever feel that the products you use through the winter seem to dry your skin up of all it's natural oils in the summer, well I think I know something that can help with those troubles. Recently I received some products from Passion For Natural which are trying to encourage more and more people to use natural ways to exfoliate and hydrate their skin. Passion for Natural have created a range of products that provide you with the wonderful active benefits of it's natural components. 
 
 
 
 
I have six products that I would love to share with you readers, but first I think I'm going to talk about my bad experience with the products before I talk about how great they are, I had a lot of trouble in the beginning with the way the products were packed, they came in a giant bag, not at all secure, when I opened it they were all over the bag & the products were ruined.
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I found out that this was because the body scrub didn't have a secure lid at all. It was quite disappointing, I then proceeded to email the brand, it took them about 3-4 days to reply, but in the end they re-sent all the products in different packaging, that all happened quite fast!
 
I could then begin starting to use the products, to mix it up a little bit I shared some of the products with my mum & she agrees with me that these are the reach for in the summer, it's hard to put my finger on a favourite but I really do love the Aloe Vera Moisturising Mist
it is the perfect instant moisturiser, it is made with the most pure organic 100% aloe vera, you are guaranteed the best application with the 360 degree trigger spray, it does the three main things you'd want in any moisturiser.
 
1. Soothe
2. Cool
3. Moisturise
 
Great for sunburn, definitely one to carry on holiday, I hope they bring it out in a mini travel size so it would be perfect for your handbag when you're on the go.
It has a fresh scent & it does not leave you sticky, I find it perfect for after a shower for an all over moisturise and I can put my clothes on almost instantly, a 200ml bottle is £7.95 I can't really complain about the price as it's all natural ingredients and for any product like that you're going to have to pay the price, but I think that it's rather reasonable.
 

 
 
The Aloe Vera Gel is another one of the products that I reach for the most, it's a soft hydrating gel for that instant cooling relief to dry irritated areas of skin, contains the most pure organic aloe vera very much like the mist, this product is perfect for cooling sunburn, getting rid of any dry skin patches, this product is also perfect for people with sensitive skin, non-sticky with no oily residue on the skin, fast acting & it rapidly absorbs into the skin. It is £6.95 for a 200ml tube, it kind of sucks that it's unscented.. Oh & it also has no parabens....
 

 
 
 
 
Very much like the Aloe Vera Gel they have a similar product called the Aloe Vera Lotion which can be brought into a skincare routine, I tend to use the gel mostly in the day & the lotion on a night, you'll be amazed with how clear and soft your skin will be, the lotion can help fight the signs of aging, perfect for on holiday and can be used as often as you may need. The price of this is £6.95 for the 200ml tube, same as the gel, great price especially after you see the results.
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
The Aloe Vera Lip Butter is one to go on my re purchase list, it contains a blend of organic and natural butters and oils to hydrate dry lips, I use it most days & you only need a smear of it for your lips to feel instantly moisturised, I like to use it before I apply my make up because when it comes round to applying lipstick it goes on so smoothly because my lips are fresh and hydrated and it reduces flakes from foundation or lipstick which is a massive bonus for me.
 





 
The Aloe Vera Body Butter is the perfect thing for you if you'd like a luxuriously rich body butter for the ultimate all over effective moisturising, it penetrates deep into the skin for effective moisturising for the entire body, it helps to protect against signs of aging and helps hydrate dry patches of skin, I am in love with this because it helps keep a tan longer than you would with any other moisturiser and another bonus like all the other Passion for Natural products it is paraben and SLS free!
 
 

And the last product is the Aloe Vera Body Scrub, I must be honest and say I haven't really used it properly, it's a very messy product for the bath, not like any other scrub as it's very liquidized nothing like any other body scrub that I've used, it smells amazing, it helps to remove dead skin cells with the scrub leaving skin radiant and glowing, it's a part of preparing your skin before moisturising, it contains natural walnut shell to gently and effectively remove dead skin cells, it's easy to rinse under the shower but seems to stick to the sides of the bath. It's a great product for the moisturising side and I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a new skincare product! It is priced at £10.95, I wouldn't really pay this, I guess I would have to use the product more to feel how worth it, it is for the price.
 

 

I really enjoyed these products & a certain few of them will be re purchased in the future, most are the best value and quality but I think packaging and the shipping of the products to people could be a little better as the second lot of products turned up covered in tape which ruined the presentation of the products for me. But for the results I d recommend to anyone of any age to try at least one of these products!
 
Hope your skin is happy this summer!

ZoellaBeauty - Why I love it?

Aloha Lip gossipers,
 
 
I'm on a roll today, I'm wanting to really catch up on my blogs today as I am a little behind, so I've just sat for about 3 hours sorting pictures and editing text, it's a relief when it's all been edited and published onto my blog, makes me feel all relaxed and happy that I've put something on here for you guys.
 
Anyway...
 
I'm sure every blogger or almost every blogger knows the wonderful Zoe Sugg and her YouTube channel 'Zoella' it's a very cliché reason but she honestly encouraged me to do something with a passion of mine, beauty, fashion and lifestyle. So when I heard she had brought out her own beauty range, I was really excited. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
She brought out eight beautiful products, and I went out and bought three, I purchased the body lotion 'creamy madly dreamy' I also purchased the cosmetics bag 'Just say yes' and I just had to throw in the Zoella 'Blissful Mistful' body mist.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Zoella Creamy Madly Dreamy -
 
 It is totally tempting dream cream that gives a soft and silky feel to your body. The indulgent lotion pampers your skin, it also contains vitamin E, Aloe and sheer butter and condition the skin, it leaves my skin soft and conditioned, silky and smooth, it has a lovely scent and it doesn't leave the skin sticky or oily, I love this product and I tend to use it after I bath or shower. The cost of this product is £5, it's worth all the money and so much more.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Zoella Blissful Mistful Body spritz -
 
I love this, it's my favourite out of all the Zoella products, I've been using it everyday recently. It's a super light and feminine body mist to scent yourself with a floral and fruity fragrance, it is enriched with vitamin E and fruit extracts - it is pure bliss in a bottle.
The bottle is very pretty, I'm a little annoyed at the sticker that I struggled for days to get off but other than that I cannot fault it, the price for one of these bottles of bliss is around £8 I purchased mine from a Superdrug store in a town near me and I am positive that you can also purchase all of the zoella range online.
 
 
 
Zoella 'Just Say Yes' Beauty bag -
 
This is the last of the Zoella beauty products I bought, I've been wanting a decent sized bag for all my everyday make up products & this is the best one, it is super roomy and fits everything into it, it keeps everything super organised on my dressing table keeping all my make up together so it's easy to get to, I love the design, it is true to Zoella, very girly and pink, the price for this lovely piece was around £8-9, very affordable with the great quality. I totally recommend to all you Zoella lovers out there.
 
So, the question is..
 
Why do I love it?
 
I love the Zoella beauty range because it's true to Zoe herself, it's beautiful and affordable, amazing quality products that smell amazing and look gorgeous too, they're perfect for gifts to girls out there that are crazy about Zoella.
 
Which products do you think I should try next out of the wonderful Zoella beauty range?
Which products to you have?
 
That's all lipgoss girlies

My March Favourites

Hello my lovelies,
 
Two blog posts in one day, I'm doing well today.
 
*cheers*
 
I wanted to make up for the blog posts I haven't done the past two weeks due to not having my camera to take pictures, I've also not been home to write a blog, as I often stay at my boyfriends house for a few days and I only have my iPhone with me and I much prefer typing up a blog post on my laptop.
 
It's the start of a new month which can only mean it's time to look back on my favourite things in March, I plan to do one of these every month just to refresh you lovely readers on my blog posts during the month.  
 
 
First for my march favourites was definitely meeting the pug puppies which happened at the beginning of march, this is when me and Oliver picked our little pug Luna, we are really excited and I look forward to sharing her with you guys on my blog, she is an absolute cutie, cannot wait to officially introduce her into my blog.
 
 
 
Then during the month I also did a blog about the Lush Bath bombs/Bubble bars these are my absolute favourite out of all the
selection, although I still have one left to review, the products I reviewed in march was the bath bomb 'Sex Bomb' and the bubble bar 'Unicorn Horn' I really enjoyed using them which I explained in the blog post. I also did a collaboration of them both together and they compliment each other perfectly, the smell wasn't too overpowering with both the products so I recommend trying them together. Both take pride place in my top 3 Lush products.
 
 
 
 
 
Moving onto some of my other favourites this month, one of my most popular posts was my 'Benefit Haul' which included to a small selection of the products I bought, but my absolute favourite out of the three has to be Benefit's Roller Lash it is without any doubt the best mascara I have ever owned, I took some pictures of before and after I will be sure to put them on here once I have uploaded them from my camera, but that is my top product from Benefit.
 
 
 
Last but by far not the least, you'll know if you read my blog that one of my most recent blog posts was about the very beautiful and elegant Cinderella collection by Mac Cosmetics now if you read that blog post you'll know that I was incredibly lucky because I retrieved the last one at the Mac counter. I got the Pressed powder called 'Coupe D'Chic' it is so beautiful and I am still in absolute love with it. It compliments my skin tone amazingly. 

Still one of my favourites and a top product from Mac.
 
 
**As you can see it is so unbelievably photogenic**
 
So they're all my favourites this month.
I wonder what my April favourites will be watch out for my April blog posts.
That's all for now my lovelies.
 
Love

Thoughtful Thursdays - Life Update

Hello my lovelies! 

This week has gone so fast, this year is going so fast, sometimes I wish it would all just slow down but that only seems to make it go full speed ahead. 

Having a really down week, and this weekend is busy busy busy. 
I'm taking a trip out to see the most beautiful pug puppies with my other half which I'm super excited about 

and...

I'm going to go treat myself, not forgetting about Mother's Day of course which I want to do a separate post about. 

Remember...


Keep Smiling! 

Love from Baloo x.
