Dr Jackson's Coconut Melt

I first came across Dr Jackson back in 2015 via a beauty box and then more recently just before Christmas. Launching back in 2012, Dr Jackson’s, is described as being a sustainable, science-led cosmetics company that creates natural skincare products and organic herbal teas and with that you will find moisturisers, oils, toners and cleansers. Today, I am sharing what I think is my favourite product to date from the brand - Dr Jackson's Coconut Melt.

All of the products that I have used from the Dr Jackson range have been absolutely delightful and this Coconut Melt is my favourite to date and the one I have absolutely loved discovering.  Described as being a phenomenal Everything Balm, this Coconut Melt is made from 100% pure, pharmacy-grade organic coconut oil which is naturally rich in cocoin (a potent source of hydrating glycerides), this means that it will instantly soothes and repairs skin, lips and cuticles which might be in need of TLC.

Like all products using Coconut Oil, this one is solid at room temperature, so packaged inside this little glass pot, it is easy to use as a solid balm to apply everywhere that it is needed. It will liquify quickly if the balm is stored in warmer temperatures, so this is something to have in mind when transporting it around with you.  I keep mine in my desk drawer at work, so it is out of direct sunlight.

Coconut Oil is a great source of antioxidant vitamin E as well as lauric acid, so not only is it incredibly conditioning and a must have product for skin for soothing chapped, sensitive skin, repairing brittle hair strands, conditioning eyelashes, taming brows, calming redness post-shaving and even disinfecting thanks to natural, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.  

As it is applied to the skin, it will melt almost instantly, so depending on where you wish to apply it, you might need to think about how warm that part of your body is!  I use it on my elbows, wrists, knees, ankles and often resort to using it on my lips if they feel dry and chapped.

Priced at £20 for this 15ml Jar, it is a great product to have in your stash, plus if stored correctly, it is great for using on the go too!

Lash Star Heated Lash Curler

Lash Star is a recent addition to my ever expanding beauty collection and they are described as offering a finely curated selection of high end innovative eyelash enhancing products.  On the rare occasion I do wear lashes, I have for many years used one brand because I find them incredibly easy to work with, but I am always up for a challenge.

Inside a lovely curated gift box, I was sent four products to use and the one which really has had a lot of good press in recent months is the Lash Star Heated Eyelash Curler, something I haven't used in a very very long time.

This is a 3 in 1 heated lash curler that is designed to not only lift but also curl and style your lashes into place. Using gentle heat which helps lock in the curl, I was quite surprised how lightweight this Curler was, weighing no more than my foundation brush, it is incredibly sleek and perfect for taking with you on weekends way, on holiday or for touch-ups on the go if you must.

Poker-straight lashes are no more thanks to the Lash Star Heated Lash Curler. Your new go-to for achieving long curly lashes, the mascara wand-shaped rod gently heats up and reaches every single lash for an instantly fuller look.

Use the Lash Star Heated Lash Curler on natural lashes, extensions and false eyelashes. Simply stroke over mascara-coated lashes for more lifted lashes in seconds.

Easy to use, this Heated Lash Curler powers on and is ready to use in just 10 seconds and it has four temperature settings to choose from - 65°, 75°, 85° and 95° which you can select from the LED Screen to suit your needs.  Once the curler has been switched on, you slowly sweep it across the lashes and rest the heated rod against the lash base which allows your lashes to settle in the deep grooves and sweep the heated rod upward just as you do when you apply mascara and the whole process takes less than a minute and the effects last for hours.

What I absolutely love is that this Heated Lash Curler uses a USB to charge, which means it can be charged so effortlessly no matter where you are and one charge gives you 75 minutes of use and only takes 2 hours to recharge.

A great gift for anyone who loves their lashes and might want something a little different for 2021, it is on sale for just £29.99 via Current Body and Feelunique.

SheWolf Hydrating Collection

When you read that a brand has taken years to get their product just right, to look, feel and smell how the inventor wanted it to, that is quite impressive. Enter SheWolf, a hair care brand which is the brainchild of Mariano Ruiz and through rigorous testing, feedback and consultations, the brand was born and I have been lucky enough to give a few of them a try over the past few months.

For me, hair care is something I am very picky about.  I have what is best described as being combination hair - greasy roots, dry ends and if I am stressed, run down or not well then my scalp seems to give the tell tale signs of needing some TLC. To that end, I use a weekly mask, I exfoliate my scalp, I use leave in treatments, I don't over wash or condition my hair and I try as best as I can to not use too much heat. 

I was kindly sent the Inca-Oil Hydrating Shampoo, Conditioner, a mask and a hair oil to try and together they create quite the routine, especially if your hair does need a little bit of TLC.

The Apricot Butter pre-shampoo mask (£22) is the first product I started with, anything that is pre-shampoo usually get my attention and over the years, I have tried quite a few different branded products.

From SheWolf, the mask is described as being a weekly indulgent and luxurious deep conditioning treat that is perfect for hair that is tired-out and dried-out. Designed to be applied from the mid-roots to the ends of your hair, this mask is luxuriously thick and very smooth, it uses Apricot Butter for deep conditioning and with it is the scent of Fig and Tuberose, which if I am being honest is just delightful. Once on damp hair, you need to leave it to work its magic for up to 30 minutes, or it can be left on overnight, before washing out and continuing your routine of shampooing and so on.

The Inca Seed Oil Hydrating Shampoo (£18.50) is designed for weakened, dry hair and its job is to bring dry, stressed-looking hair back to life.

As a shampoo, the formula is really silky and not too thick, so you need a really small amount to apply to your hair.  My hair is shoulder length, so a walnut sized amount is more than enough for my hair.  Using Inca Seed Oil and Brazil Nut Oil blend to help lock in moisture, you will also find the very same scent of Fig and Tuberose, which for me is much more dominant within the shampoo than it was within the pre-shampoo mask.

Then we have the Inca Seed Oil Hydrating Conditioner (£18.50) and as well as complimenting the shampoo, this conditioner is designed to make dry, stressed hair look shiny and fabulous again.

Again, as with the shampoo, this conditioner has a lovely lightweight formula to it, instead of being thick and almost mask-like.  As I have greasy roots, I tend to use this conditioner twice a week and not when I am using the pre-shampoo mask, but it is delightful to use and once again it uses Inca Seed Oil and Brazil Nut Oil blend to help lock in moisture, you will also find the very same scent of Fig and Tuberose and again, it is most definitely noticeable within this conditioner and it really does linger on your hair for hours after using.

The final product within this little group is the Tsubaki Smoothing Hair Oil (£25) and this is my favourite product so far. Designed to turn frizzy, dull, dry hair into smooth, silky, luscious locks.

What I love about using this oil is that it isn't oily, an odd description to share I know, but it is similar to a serum in texture.  You will only need 1-2 pumps of this product I have found and you warm it between the palms of your hands and then apply to clean, dry hair just before styling, or you can add it afterwards if you wish.  The main ingredient within this Smoothing Hair Oil is Tsubaki Oil and it is said to be a much treasured beauty secret of Japanese women dating back many centuries. Tsubaki oil is created from the seeds of Japanese camellia and it works to smooth the hair without weighing it down whilst also restoring shine.  Also added to it is the signature scent of Fig and Tuberose.

I absolutely love this collection, it has worked wonders on my dry ends and I am delighted to say hasn't caused any issues with my scalp and my hair has been very receptive to the smoothing oil, which tames the frizz of new hair without leaving it feeling lank and greasy.  I should also mention that the scent of this collection is incredible, it is fresh and zingy whilst being relaxing, definitely something which should be bottled and sold as room or linen sprays and maybe even a candle!

Shewolf is on sale via both the brand website and Feelunique and alongside the Hydrating Collection, there is also Colour Protecting and Volumising product ranges too.  However, if you want to grab yourself an absolute steal, QUEEN20 gives 20% off on GlamourGenius!
