This natural body lotion, rich in sweet almond oil, was lost in my beauty stash since I got it at the winter time. Then I used almost half of it and continued using something else, probably richer body cream since my skin needed extra moisture during cold months. When I stumbled upon it few days ago, I fell in love with it again. Now, when I have little bit tan on, it shows up even better, how great this JOIK Shimmering Body Lotion with Sweet Almond Oil actually is.

As said, it is lotion, so the consistency is pretty liquid and quick absorbing. It is almost like a much needed milk on skin, that nourishes, hydrates, smooths and gives a healthy glow. I personally wouldn't call it a shimmer as it is luckily much more delicate than shimmer would be. The warm toned base of the lotion and healthy sheen running through it makes skin looking healthy and flattering at all times. 

Lotion is also rich in coconut oil and shea butter and its iridescence comes from natural minerals. The smoothest texture of this product makes it easy to apply and the warm sweet scent reminds me so much of raspberries or a strawberry milkshake.

This one was an spontaneous buy as I didn't plan on looking into British Hair haircare at all. I had seen it in the department stores, but usually walked right past by it. There's never too much of them when it comes to my haircare routine. And of course, every one of them has its own purpose! 

First of all, it comes in a plastic bottle that has a pump dispenser on top of it. Even if it is plastic, it doesn't feel cheap at all. You can sense immediately, it is a high quality product, originally meant for a professional use. Plastic container gives a benefit of carrying it around during summer time and not breaking it as hair serums often do come in heavy glass bottles. 

Ingredients wise it has coconut alkanes, that act as a natural emollient to reduce frizz and releasing shine during long period of time, macadamia seed oil, that smooths hair and defends it from heat damage and jojoba seed oil along with meadow foam oil to add shine. 

So, overall it promises to add 24 hour time release shine, reduce frizz, protect from heat damage, cut down drying time, leave hair shiny and smooth and fight against humidity. 

I didn't have much faith in it at first and went in pretty neutral when first time using it. The sweet floral, yet delicate scent of it was the first good surprise that got me. There has been times when I apply too much as my thick and coarse hair needs a decent amount to show results. I can apply it as much I want without making my hair greasy or sticky. Its texture is very light, smooth and silky. I can also imagine how it would make a perfect hair serum for thinner hair that are prone to going flat and weighing down.

Benefits list of this British Hair serum isn't exaggerated or fabricated, it does everything they promise it would do. My hair dried much quicker, even if I let it air dry. It wasn't frizzy even after the long humid day outside, but just to be sure I always apply it the next morning on my dry hair. It smooths down any fly aways and moisturises dry ends perfectly. Hair will smell delicious and feel silkier than ever. My take on it is that it works wonders! 

The Body Shop released its beautifying oils for a while ago, but only few days ago I got my hands on their Chocomania Beautifying Oil. I kept my eye on their oils for a while, but now when they had a deal going on in Estonia, where you had to pay only 6 euros for a bottle of dry oil, I couldn't resist. I sniffed pretty much every oil they had and opted for the Chocomania version of it. It smells exactly like a great amount of dark chocolate.

I am sure that many of you know about this oil already, but to sum it briefly up, it does it all. It can be used on body, face, skin and it moisturises, illuminates and soothes. I am aware that a lot of The Body Shop's products aren't completely clean when it comes to ingredients, but this one is quite good when it comes it it. It contains lightweight blend of nut oils, including marula oil, brazil nut oil, babassu oil, sweet almond oil and aloe vera. And like I mentioned before, my choice of scents smells truly like a healthy bite of dark chocolate, little bit sweet with the hint of bitterness.

Oil bottle has tiny whole in the cap that makes the amount of oil very controllable. Few drops of oil go a long way, so you don't need much, but as it smells and feels divine, you can but more on than you actually need. That is also not a problem at all, as it is quickly drying dry oil that won't leave a residue on hair or skin. I use it mainly on body, wouldn't but it on my face, but do love few drops as a hair oil on my ends. First I noticed it is a little bit drying on hair when used it as an independent hair oil, but to hydrate between washes, it works amazing without making hair greasy! As long as applying on body, it illuminates, smells divine and hydrates deeply. Illuminating effect of it conceals any faults your skin might have and makes your summer tan appear a lot healthier and smoother. I would definitely buy it again as using a oil has never been so easy and fuss free.

Team of Beyond Organic creates certified organic cosmetics that is hand made and won several prestigious beauty awards in years. The thing that caught my attention at first was the fact they use a seabuckthorn which I happen to love because of its omegas, fatty acids and anti-oxidants. Not to mention all the natural glow it gives to your skin!

Beyond Organic Rejuvenating Serum is highly concentrated, so you need the smallest dab of it to cover whole face and neck area. It is suitable for every skin type and has also balancing properties for oilier or problematic skin types. It contains high concentration of rose hip oil which is high in vitamin A and is also known for being nature's own retinol. Therefore it is highly anti-aging and skin correcting. Then it also has seabuckthorn fruit and seed oils, full of anti-oxidants that protect skin from damage. The texture of this oil is soft and deep, more thicker than other liquids, so it is easy to spread on your face. Calming scent makes it perfect for night time use, but can also be comforting in the morning. The colour of this serum gives the skin natural healthy glow and velvety smooth feel without leaving skin greasy at all.

Beyond Organic Firming Eye Cream is probably my number one choice when it comes to taking care of my eye area. It is soothing, moisturising, brightening and firming, yet so delicate and natural I first thought it won't do much for me. It contains eyebright to reduce puffiness and soothe, rosehip to fight lines and rose to gently tone the eye area. Besides all that it is totally free of any fragrance or essential oils to ensure that it is gentle won't irritate the delicate and thin skin around eyes.

As you may know, my biggest problem is darkness under my eyes. After first application I did feel the soothing effect and felt my skin around my eyes almost drinking everything up from this eye cream. Afterwards I was left smoother and more nourished eye area. When it comes to combating darkness, I didn't really believe in it as Beyond Organic doesn't state anything about it when it comes to this eye cream. But I was wrong! Within a week or so I saw improvement in my eye area, it was lighter and brighter. I believe this cream improves the circulation and therefore handles any tiredness and darkness around eyes. Truly amazing results for a natural product!

In my eyes and relying on my experience with these two: extremely well done, Beyond Organic!

When I think of vitamins, I immediately think of citruses. Jovely Naturals has put two of the most favourite fruits, grapefruit and orange, in a nurturing body scrub. Of course, these have been introduced into scrub in a form of essential oil, but still I do love a zesty aroma this body scrub has. The fresh and crisp scent of grapefruit and orange has been toned down with the sweetness of moisturising shea butter and exfoliating sugar, making this scrub a perfect combination for a natural body exfoliation.

This pinkish orange toned Jovely Naturals Grapefruit & Orange Shea Sugar Scrub has also been infused with red clay and sweet almond oil to take care of the skin while getting rid of dead skin cells. Scrub itself is very soft and gentle, but little sugar pieces still make a great job at scrubbing anything unwanted off your body. When skin is wet, sugar in this product will start to melt pretty soon and forms a creamy layer on your skin with the oils in it. This is one of those scrubs, that not only does it scrub your skin, but also acts as a body moisturiser. Afterwards you are left with smooth skin that has a  light layer of shea butter and sweet almond oil on it and you can slightly feel the delicate scent of the grapefruit and orange. 

I usually don't wash my skin after scrubbing with it, because my skin could use the nurturing moisture I get out of this product. After all, it isn't greasy, but soft and velvety. If you happen to have oilier skin, you can go over your skin with a body wash or soap and your skin will be squeaky clean and throughoutly exfoliated.

As a bonus, this scrub will give you a refreshing aroma therapy whenever you feel down or not so good. After you have done with scrubbing, sweetly fresh scent will linger in bathroom for quite some time!

It was probably the end of last year when I got my hair real short in order to get them healthier. Shoulder length is short for me as my hair is real thick and I in order to manage them, they need to be longer than that. Since I have always used some kind of oil treatments on my hair, my choices were usually grapeseed oil, avocado oil or apricot kernel oil. I looked into something else than just plain oils I used before. An organic blend of best selected and nurturing oils, especially designed for hair sounded perfect to me! This is where Yarok Feed Your Youth Hair Oil came into play.

When I first got it I was mainly amazed by its sleek bottle, wonderful scent and the colour of the oil itself. It is green and smells like orange blossom. I knew it does great job moisturising hair and feeding the scalp, but had no idea of the other benefits of it. 

It is marketed as an anti-aging treatment to make dull and stressed out hair alive again! Can't argue with that, but that is something any oil can do whether applied as a treatment or hair serum. This serum has so many oils in combination that deliver all the vitamins, antioxidants, fatty acids and minerals right to your scalp much faster than one plain oil can do. It is a mixture of avocado oil, apricot kernel oil, wheat germ, ylang ylang, yarrow oil, orange blossom and bitter orange. 

What it does besides giving your hair a much needed moisture kick? First of all, it should be applied from top to ends, so your scalp would get the most out of it. After all, this is where your hair starts to grow. A lot of times we are so concentrated in feeding our ends, we forget our scalp. 

This serum will remove any buildup and residue from other hair products that may sit on our scalp and hair, while hydrating, nourishing scalp and hair from root to tip. Oil being rich enough, it nurses them back alive within only one treatment and offers them safety blanket from sun, stress and heat tools. 

How to use it? Dropper it comes with, makes it so easy to use. You just need 2-3 droppers of oil. Smooth it through your hair, starting from to scalp by slowly releasing the oil. Then you give your head and hair little massage to get the oil working and distribute the oil more evenly. After all that, you can use a warm towel on your hair, because oils will work better with the heat, but it also works great without it. Depending on how much time you have in your hands, you should let it sit in your hair at least 10-15 minutes. I sometimes left it in for couple of hours while doing something else. Then you will wash it off and condition your hair like you usually do. You won't feel the need to double wash, because even though this oil is rich, it also absorbs into your scalp and hair quite good without leaving your locks greasy afterwards. You are left with healthy, bouncy, much stronger hair and the delicate scent of orange blossom may linger in your hair for quite some time. Also, my scalp felt always so comfortable and hydrated, it reminded me, it all starts from the roots. 

Now my hair has grown quite a lot and I truly believe Yarok hair serum has helped so much with it. Sometimes it almost happens without noticing. There will be just those days, I or someone else states, that my hair has gotten longer again.
