Mila's Apothecary - Hedgerow Nectar - First Impressions



Mila's Apothecary - Hedgerow Nectar

This was the latest product that I picked up from the fabulous Mila's Apothecary, after falling hard for the Winter Gift Set that I received for Christmas.

 The Hedgerow Nectar is a face and body oil blended with cold-pressed strawberry seed oil and hemp seed oil.

 The hero ingredient of strawberry seed oil is actually a by product from jam-making which would otherwise go to waste.

 Ingredients
Cold-pressed Fragaria Ananassa (strawberry) Seed Oil; Organic and cold-pressed Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Seed Oil; Organic and cold-pressed Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil;  Organic Pelargonium Graveolens (Rose Geranium) Oil; Linalool; Geraniol, Citronellol, Limonene - naturally occurring.


Such a luxurious oil which is a real pleasure to use and offers some fabulous hydrating and complexion smoothing results.

 It's a lovely deep, rich amber-hued oil.
Rich in essential fatty acids Omegas 3 and 6 as well as  Vitamins A,B,C,E and anti-inflammatory ellegaic acid. It might be winter time, but the Hedgerow Nectar perfectly recalls those heady summer days when the bees are buzzing around the garden and among the hedgerows. There is a definite scent of strawberry - but certainly not overpowering like an artificial strawberry fragrance. It's absolutely gorgeous!

 When applied to slightly damp skin, the Hedgerow Nectar applies beautifully, is silky smooth and absorbs nicely too. Instant results are that it leaves your skin feeling well-hydrated, soft and nourished. 
So far, I've just been using this in my evening routine because I've been loving how it feeds my skin overnight. I've definitely noticed a clearer complexion and plump, hydrated skin when I wake up the next morning. I feel that my skin has been looking much clearer and less tired over the past few weeks since I've been using this.

This is yet another supremely gorgeous product from Mila's Apothecary and I certainly look forward to trying a lot more of her products in the future.

Morning Skincare Routine - May

Image
  For the past few weeks I haven't been washing my face in the morning! I'm a great fan of the double-cleanse method, but then I read somewhere about not needing to double-cleanse in the morning if you double-cleanse at night. It was advised that you start your morning routine with the toner step, skipping out oil cleansers and foaming washes (or whatever double-cleansing products you use) altogether. Now it's not like I'd jump off a cliff if the internet told me to, but this made a bit of sense to me - why add more potentially drying/stripping/exfoliating products when there was no make-up to remove?   And this has worked out brilliantly well for me personally. I'd go so far as to say that I could currently change my skin status from combination/oily to NORMAL! I've noticed that by just toning in the morning, the oiliness on my face has calmed right down. And better still, I haven't had to blot in the day and very rarely use any type of powd

Flower Beauty ~ Light Illusion Foundation ~ First Impressions

Image
  Flower Beauty ~ Light Illusion Foundation £12.99 at Superdrug BUY HERE   I'd never heard of Flower Beauty before, let alone that it was a cruelty-free makeup range by Drew Barrymore. And I'll be honest, I bought it because I liked the look and sound of it! It took a while to get my hands on some too. Superdrug announced that they would be stocking the brand, although it must be available only in the bigger stores as it's not yet reached Norwich and I had to buy this online - completely without testing it first or even being sure about a colour match.   The shade I opted for, 'Nude', was unavailable for ages online but as soon as I got the notification email that it was back in stock, I ordered right away.   I'm not generally keen on buying foundations online without having first at least gotten a colour match - usually, this spells disaster and a product that I end up discarding quite quickly. But I struck gold with choosing the 'Nude&

Thyme Out Review

Image
    Thyme Out - £18.00 for 200ml plus Mini Thyme-To-Go Refillable Spray BUY HERE   I first saw mention of this interesting tincture (love that word!) a couple of months ago on the Victoria Health online Newsletter. Initially, I was thinking about it in terms of a skincare product - a 100% organic natural repairing lotion. But so far, it's been used for so many more purposes. In fact, I think I can safely say that this has been a summer essential for all the family, and hasn't been confined to the skincare shelf at all.   What is it?   Thyme Out is a water-based tincture where the Thyme has been steeped for weeks to draw out all of it's healing properties. The ingredients are all natural and very simple - just organic thyme, purified water, organic grain alcohol, and organic aloe vera.   What does it do? Whilst the ingredients are simple, the list of ailments that Thyme Out can help with certainly is not!   Skin Soothing and Healing   Helps
