ASOS Pick Me Up Box

ASOS beauty boxes are always incredible value for money and the newest kid on the block is the Pick Me Up Box which is priced at the usual £12 here*.

Inside this box you will find five travel-size face and body products and this includes:

• Elemis Superfood Vital Veggie Mask works to nourish and hydrate skin to leave it brighter, softer and smoother 
• Ouai Wave Spray is a weightless texture mist designed to create effortless, undone waves 
• NEOM Energising Hand Balm is enriched with aromatic grapefruit, lemon and rosemary, nourishing cocoa butter and softening shea butter 
• Alpha-H Clear Skin Daily Face And Body Wash - huge fan of the brand and this is an amazing product. It is formulated with tea tree aims to minimise acne bacteria and excess oil without stripping skin of moisture 
• Caudalie Vinopure Clear Skin Purifying Toner - I adore this toner and have featured it on my blog a few times now, it helps to purify the skin and prep it for the next stages of your routine

As you can see, amazing brands and their products, a real nice way to try before you buy a full size option and of course a little treat for the start of 2021, but these boxes sell out quick, so if it has your attention grab it whilst it is in stock!

On sale here at ASOS*

Cult Beauty Advent Calendar 2021 - News!

I can’t believe I am actually writing this in January, but if Easter Eggs are out then it’s every man for themselves as far as I am concerned.

Beauty Advent Calendars are a huge business, much more so than when I first started covering their release back in 2014, a time when there wasn’t much choice and only a few brands bothered. Now, every brand I can think of has one or is involved in one and the advent calendar everyone talks about comes from Cult Beauty and it’s easy to see why! It was priced at just £199 and as you can see, it was packed with some amazing brands and their products!

The Cult Beauty Advent Calendar for 2020 was huge, it was the one I got the most hits on, affiliate links sales on and the one I was asked about the most. I also got plenty of comments when it sold out in super quick time leaving people bereft at not getting their hands on one.... so... to save all that time and hassle, Cult Beauty are ahead of the game for 2021 and have announced their sign up list for this years advent calendar already and you can join it right here!

Japanese Cleansing Cloud by British Beauty Blogger

When I saw that Jane, better known as British Beauty Blogger, had created her very own cleansing bar, during Covid no less, I knew that it would be amazing and I bought it double quick.

Cleansing is part of my skincare routine that o enjoy the most, it’s quite relaxing of an evening to remove the entire day from your skin. Even if you haven’t left the house, you’ll be surprised how much muck, to coin a phrase, is removed! 

The inspiration for this particular cleansing bar is very much a Japan theme and it is said the shape, defined as a happy cloud, is paying tribute to the rituals of Japanese cleansing and bathing. 

This is the type of product that you can use anywhere on your body and as soon as you open the packaging, you are hit by this infusion of the most amazing citrusy, zingy fragrance, all before you have had it in contact with water. Jane states that this is an “anywhere” bar that you can use in the shower, in the bath, it’s for your body and safe enough to use on your face too - a lovely little multi-use cleansing bar - if only we could take it on holiday!

The ingredients include a whole host of wonderful this such as Japanese Yuzu which creates that amazing introductory aroma. The hero ingredient for this cleansing bar is hemp oil, the hero ingredient which helps to keep the skin supple and hydrated as it is high in linoleic and gamma-linoleic acids, as well as Vitamin E, D, B1 and B2 with minerals such as potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc and calcium. Then we have soothing rice milk which gently exfoliates and is packed with antioxidants for smooth and protected skin. Finally we have an abundance of oils which include coconut oil, olive oil, meadowfoam seed oil and avocado oil so you can imagine just how amazing your skin feels after using it!

I have used this bar of joy on my face as part of my cleansing routine, I’ve used it on my body in the shower and I’ve used it to cleanse my feet before applying a foot balm and what I love is how easy it lathers with minimal effort.

If you haven’t bought your cleansing bar yet, then do, the scent alone is enough to put a smile on your face. The Cleansing Bar is vegan and the best part? It costs just £12/100g at victoriahealth.com
