2.Wrap the ribbon around the headband, securing it with thread or glue.
3.Make a flower out of leftover ribbon (any shape you want) and attach the plastic flowers.

Antipodes Reincarnation Pure Facial Exfoliator Review

Hi everyone! Today I am reviewing another Antipodes product. It's the Reincarnation Pure Facial Exfoliator. I already reviewed two fantastic Antipodes face creams here and I am starting to fall in love with this amazing natural and organic brand and there is more reviews to come :)

Antipodes Reincarnation Pure Facial Exfoliator 75ml* £20.99 link 

'Antipodes Reincarnation Pure Facial Exfoliator contains 100% pure avocado oil, marigold flower, tonka bean and sandalwood. It helps to lift away lifeless skin, leaving a fresh complexion that feels reborn. Healing calendula oil works to nurture and repair, while carrot seed extract helps clear and revitalise skin's surface. Exotic essential oils of sandalwood, sweet orange and tonka bean calm and balance your skin's appearance.'

Since I started using Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish with a muslin cloth, I stopped using exfoliators, but after a couple of months I decided that my skin needs something more to remove dead skin cells 2-3 times a week. Most face scrubs are very harsh on my skin, but this one is very gentle! It also smell really nice. It is not a strong fragrance, but a very pleasant fruity aroma.

The formula is very creamy and contains micro jojoba beads that are so small that you can hardly notice them. I can feel them on my skin, but thy are not scratchy at all. The scrub leaves my skin clear and fresh and the calendula and avocado oils help to keep it soft and nourished. 

I use it on dry skin to get a better effect, but if your skin is sensitive, always make sure your face is wet prior to exfoliation. Massage it into your face and rinse with warm water. I always sweep my face with a cotton wool pad soaked in a gentle alcohol free toner after exfoliating and follow with a nourishing moisturiser. 

This exfoliator must be the best one I have ever used. It is gentle, smells lovely and does exactly what it says on the tin :)

Review: Stila Convertible Color Dual Lip and Cheek Cream in Gladiola

Tonight I will tell you a little bit about my experience with Stila. I have never heard about the brand until I started looking for an illuminating foundation. I bought the foundation from Buyapowa and when I received it I wasn't happy, it was half empty and the formula was weird, with bits of oil and some dried up product as well. I sent it back and got my money back. It's a shame, because I really wanted to use it.
When I was shopping in TKmaxx I came across sets of Stila makeup for £7.99 and £9.99! I couldn't resist it and I bought 2 sets. Five products in total. It was a great bargain. The shades were a guess, because of the cardboard packaging, but I took the risk. I got a foundation, concealer, lipgloss, lipstick and convertible color cream. Today I am reviewing the Convertible Color Dual Lip and Cheek Stain in a very bright shade- Gladiola.

Essie Braziliant Swatch- perfect for summer!

Another Essie swatch. This colour is called Braziliant and it is a very bright orange/tangerine shade with micro shimmer. It is bright, but it's not a neon colour, so if you are not a fan of neons you can feel safe about this one. It looks lovely with a tan, but also suits pale skin.

PS.Excuse my paint work and cuticles. I swatched over 20 nail polishes that day. I am currently giving my nails some TLC and I will be doing a post about it soon.

Myroo Lemon Body Butter Review and discount code

I love Body Butters, especially if they smell divine! I received this one about a month ago and I've been using it quite often allover my body, or just on my hands, elbows and knees.

 

MYROO LEMON BODY BUTTER* £15.00 for 115g

"Beautifully soothing body butter with shea butter and coconut oil is an intensive skin treat and a little goes a very long way. Our lemon body butter has the addition of beautiful lemon essential oil. STAR INGREDIENTS:Organic shea butter to moisturise, aid cell regeneration and help fade scars & marks. Coconut oil is highly antioxidant, moisturising and soothing. Sweet almond Oil rich in omega 6 and vitamins A, B1, B2 and B6"

I mentioned many times that I love everything that smells citrusy. Well... the scent of Myroo Lemon Body Butter is citrusy on another level!!! It makes me want to take a spoon and eat it straight from the tub! Honestly! I need to remind myself that it's not edible! :) 

I love using this body butter after taking a bath filled with my favourite Citrus Bath Milk from Weleda (review here). I end up smelling like a big juicy lemon and I love it! After each use, I keep sniffing my skin :) 

The consistency is a very light mousse that melts in contact with skin. It is a deeply moisturising formula that sinks into the skin quite slowly, so you have to wait about 15 minutes before getting dresses. 

If you are in a mood for pampering and you need to repair dry areas of your body, you should try this beautiful body butter! 

Every time I use it my skin feels soft and smells absolutely divine!

The one I got is a sample in a plastic container, but full size comes in a big, fancy jar.
