REN Limited Edition Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash

I am a huge fan of anything Rose scented, but it has to be a fresh rose scent and not one which smells artificial. So when the REN Limited Edition Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash arrived, I was quite excited to give it a try as I am such a fan of the normal range, I wanted to see what the limited edition had to offer.

REN Limited Edition Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash
The REN Limited Edition Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash is in collaboration with iconic London florist McQueens, a florist which was at one point a failing flower shop in Shoreditch and is now one with a reputation for quality, style and innovation. Celebrating their 25th Anniversary just recently, McQueens and their eponymous flower school in Bethnal Green is said to have defined the way we think about flowers and what better way to do that, than with this collaboration.

The Moroccan Rose is harvested at dawn from the lush valley of roses in Morocco and the Moroccan Rose is known for its delicate bloom and heady unforgettable fragrance and as soon as the get a slight whiff of the scent, it is fresh and it just undeniably divine, as though you are walking through a field of fresh roses.

This Body wash is fragranced with the Moroccan Rose Otto Oil which is one of the worlds most expensive and revered essential oils and it is one which is richy hydrating on the skin, it acts as an anti-inflammatory, it is stress relieving and it is incredibly soothing not to mention hamonising. As a product which can be used in the shower or the bath, alongside the oil is Neroli Flower Water which cleanses, refreshes and purifies the skin, Chamomile Flower Water which calms and soothes and Beta-Glucan which helps to calm and soothe redness and any irritation. 

On the skin, not only are you left smelling just incredible when you eventually step out of the shower, and trust me when the Rose Otto Oils comes into contact with the steam from the water, you might never want to get out of the shower, there is an immediate sense of feeling relieved and calm. If you haven't guessed, I absolutely love this Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash and whilst this one is a limited edition, you can find REN products on Lookfantastic, John Lewis, Liberty, Marks and Spencer and Feel Unique to name a few.

It is also worth nothing that all products from REN are free from synthetic fragrance, mineral oil, petrolatum, sulfate detergents, synthetic colours, animal ingredients and parabens.

Merci Handy Cleansing Hand Gels

If you love your hand sanitisers then get yourself to Top Shop because Merci Handy Hand Sanitisers are coming.

I am a convert to Hand Sanitisers and living in London and using public transport, a lot of people touch things in public and having watched a programme about the tube, yep those hands are being sanitised at any given moment eww.

Merci Handy Hand Sanitisers are not just cute and cherry they don't smell as though you have just covered yourself in Deep Heat and Vodka, infact they are fun and smell just delightful. The idea behind these hand sanitisers is to inject some love back into personal hygiene with simple yet effective products. These cleansing gels not only leave your hands clean, soft and delicately fragranced they are unlike other hand sanitisers because they are enriched with emollient beads and vitamin E to hydrate and nourish your skin while fighting bacteria.

So with a bottle designed to fit in your pocket or your handbag, there are seven different fragrances to choose from which are:
  • Black Vanilla - cool and mysterious but with a sweet hint of vanilla to melt your heart
  • Lollipop - takes you back to your childhood and leaves your hands feeling young, fresh and healthy
  • Cherie Cherry - has a big heart and will give your hands a light fruity fragrance
  • Flower Power - is the scent of peace and love and will leave your hands with a soft fragrance of a bouquet of flowers
  • New Wave - washes over your hands and leave them with a fresh, invigorating fragrance
  • Coco Rico - infuses your hands with that great holiday fragrance
  • Oh My Lemon - leaves your hands with all the freshness of a zesty citrus scent.
I have five of the scents from above and they do smell incredibly lovely and they are not drying either. So the next time you are passing Topshop, look out for these little cuties.
