Glorious Glow!

Himalayan Charcoal Mask - The Body Shop  Face masks are always a nice way to treat yourself after a stressful week, especially between essay writing and stressing about exams. I'm always slightly cautious with masks in case they cause my skin to react therefore I always recommend testing a mask prior to the first use. The Himalayan Charcoal mask from The Body Shop is an amazing addition to your weekly skincare regime particularly if you suffer from oily or spot prone skin. Containing Tea tree, Green Tea and Charcoal this mask leaves you feeling detoxified with a healthy youthful glow. I adore this mask because it has the most gorgeous smell and works really well to stop my skin from getting so oily! Because the Bamboo Charcoal used in this product is Red Pandas food The Body Shop help to replant it and keep this endangered species from going extinct.  I use this product weekly in the evening after removing my makeup but before anything else in my skincare ro

Unfortunately, Garnier is owned by L'oreal who do test on animals, therefore, it was time for me to find an alternative. It's a shame because when you find a product that really works for you it becomes a staple part of your skin routine but I had to sti

I've got Faith!

Grapefruit and Orange Shampoo and Conditioner - Faith in Nature I'm always drawn to Holland and Barrett whenever they are having a penny sale, this involves buying one product and getting another for 1p! Holland and Barrett itself are excellent for cruelty-free products and generally display decent brands who care about the environment, animals, etc. I have come across the brand Faith in Nature a few times in TK Maxx but it wasn't till recently that I discovered them in Holland and Barrett. Faith in Nature produce products from hair care to pet care and they are cruelty-free, Organic and Vegan!  I've been using these two products for a few weeks now and have already noticed a huge difference! I tend to wash my hair every other day as it gets oily very fast. I would like to not have to wash my hair as often but I don't feel confident in myself if I'm out and about and I think it looks oily. Therefore I decided to pick the shampoo and conditioner for normal
