Evolve Organic Beauty Satin Body Gloss

I am a huge fan of Evolve Beauty and just a featured their Christmas Collection which not only introduced me to the brand but also led to the finding of the most amazing face mask. Evolve Organic Beauty products are lovingly handmade in small batches at their studio in Hertfordshire, England to ensure the freshness of the precious antioxidants in the natural oils, butter and extracts. The products are vegan, cruelty-free and eco-friendly.

Today it is the turn of Evolve Satin Body Gloss, a product that was sent to me as part of this PR Package and it is described as being a beautifully fragranced lightweight multi-purpose silicone-free dry oil for body, face and hair is designed to lovingly nourish the skin and deliver a satin-like finish in a convenient easy to apply spray mist.  Now I am a huge fan of anything lightweight and anything that is a mist because it means easy to use, not a lot of faffing about and usually, it means less mess.

This lightweight multi-purpose silicone-free dry oil is designed to nourish and deliver a satin-like finish and it can be used on the body, face and hair and thankfully, it comes packaged inside a brown glass bottle.  To use, you need to shake the bottle quite vigorously for a good minute to ensure you have mixed everything within the bottle together, otherwise, not a lot happens and the spritz pipe becomes blocked with the most beautiful yellowy gold shimmer oil product.  However, once it has been mixed, you get the lightest of mists on your skin which creates an incredible gloss look so that you shimmer in the natural light.

I like to use this Satin Body Gloss on my arms, chest, decollete and my legs on the odd occasion they see daylight and I love how my skin looks with a healthy-looking glow without looking for feeling greasy.  It washes off just as easy in the shower as any other product you might wear too.

As with all of the products I have used from Evolve Beauty so far, this one is packed full of amazing ingredients which include:

• Camellia Oil - This is known for its high moisture properties and is absorbed quickly by the skin to leave it feeling supple and hydrated. Camellia oil also contains vitamins, A, B, and E which help to protect and nourish the skin.
• Tahitian Monoi - said to have been a Polynesian beauty secret for centuries, it is made by maceration of Tahitian Gardenia blossoms into Coconut Oil and not only is it packed with vitamin E, Monoi oil can be used to help moisturise the skin and soothe sunburn, reduce inflammation, relieve dry and itchy skin, soothe eczema and rashes and can help the skin to appear more supple and soft.
• Mineral mica and titanium add a hint of gold sparkle and shimmer

This Satin Body Gloss is then fragranced with a 100% natural Rose, Lavandin, Jasmine, Orange blossom fragrance with a heart of delicious vanilla and woody notes, so as you can imagine it smells just absolutely wonderful and is very much the Tropical Scent.

This is literally holiday in a bottle and it can be used for just about any occasion that you need to use it for, even just for a bit of a treat.  Priced at £22 here, it is a great little find.

L’Occitane Soothing Mask

There are so many incredible launches from L'Occitane right now and I will be honest, I absolutely love it, I have an entire list of products I want to seek out and try.  The one product I couldn't wait to try when it arrived was the Soothing Mask, one of three new masks currently available.

It is described as being a blackcurrant, yoghurt-like texture mask that instantly calms and brings comfort to the skin and it comes with quite a few claims:

After the 1st application: 

100% The mask provides a feeling of softness to the skin *

94% Brings an immediate sensation of freshness *

100% Skin feels silky*

After one month: 

90% Skin is soothed *

97% Skin soft *

94% Complexion is radiant*

As soon as you remove the lid from this pot, the first thing to hit is the fruity scent of the blackcurrant and one which is a fresh scent rather than manufactured.  The mask is every bit as it is described and rather than being something you add your Granola too in a morning, it feels incredible on the skin.

I use a spatula to apply the mask to ensure I get equal coverage across my face.  As directed, applying a generous layer to a freshly cleansed face and then leave it for anywhere between 3 to 5 minutes and then using a cloth, gently remove and rinse thoroughly with warm water.  On a really hot day, like the few we have had recently, having kept this mask in the fridge for a few hours before using it was a lovely little treat because it was incredibly refreshing and soothing too.

My skin after using was silky soft to the touch, the feeling of refreshment and hydration was a delight and whilst it is not edible, the scent is just insanely good and again, adds to that freshness feeling.  

Priced at £29 (75ml) it is available right now.
