Dames & Dimes - Choc Orange Shimmer Massage Bar



Dames and Dimes - Choc Orange Shimmer Massage Bar
£8.00 for 50g

When I heard that Dames & Dimes had released some new massage bars, I knew I had to try one straight away. And of course, my first choice was going to be the Choc Orange Shimmer Massage Bar (others are Original, Buttercream Vanilla and Coconut and Lemongrass).


What is it?
Handmade massage bar, rather cutely shaped liked big slabs of chocolate.
Made to relieve dry, parched and itchy skin; improves skin elasticity and can help reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
Naturally sourced mica pigment helps to impart a subtle healthy and shimmering glow on the skin.


Ingredients
Theobroma cacao (organic unrefined cocoa) seed butter, Butyrospermum parkii (organic unrefined shea) utter, Shorea stenoptera (organic illipe) seed butter, Camellia oleifera (organic unrefined camellia) seed oil, Citrus sinensis (organic sweet orange) peel oil, Synthetic fluorphlogopite (mica) CI 77891, CI 77491, Limonene, Linalool, Citral


I've said this before and I'll say it again - Dames & Dimes are THE BEST at creating the perfect chocolate orange scent!
I can guarantee that there won't be a single time when other people fail to comment on its delicious aroma.
I've previously reviewed their Chocolate Orange Cleansing Balm, which has the same delicious scent as the massage bar.


Best used after a bath or shower, snap off a chunk of the massage bar, and let the heat of your skin start to melt the bar into a buttery, silky balm.
The first time I used it, I can't have been very warm as I found the bar was quite solid and didn't melt totally, making it drag slightly on my skin.

But since it's been a bit warmer, it's been melting like a dream! I may even need to be careful when storing it so it doesn't melt in the heat - but so far, it's keeping its shape perfectly.

The bar is great value for money - I've only just finished one chunk after numerous uses.
Absolutely delicious! Just don't be tempted to pop it in your mouth!

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
