Good Enough To Eat(Almost!): Beauty Food-> Sea Salt Hair Spritz

After writing my review on TIGI Body and Waves styling mist, it suddenly occurred to me that there is no reason why I couldn't make a spray similar to this. It is something I have heard of before and after a bit of research I thought I would give it a go. Although it is part of my Good Enough To Eat series, this spritz is a not one that you would be able to 'eat'. :)

Here are the results:

Thanks for reading!! I hope you enjoyed seeing a DIY version of the Tigi product I reviewed!! 

Let me know if you make it or have any questions on the recipe!

TIGI Love Peace & the Planet Hair Styling Product Review

Hello! Today I'm doing a review on the Tigi Love Peace and The Planet 'Volumizer &Thickener' and 'Body and Waves Styling Mist'. I have been using these products a while now and am now ready to give them a review. I have already reviewed the Moisturising Shampoo and Conditioner which you can check out here. It also tells you about the brand so you can have a read if you want to. 

So I'm going to jump straight into the reviews!

FREAK OF NATURE

VOLUMIZER & THICKENER

This product is supposed to add volume and thickness to your hair. It can be applied on wet hair and blow dried to create thickness. You can use a tiny amount on dry hair into the roots to add volume. 

Price

RRP £9.95. But can be found cheaper online.

Packaging

250ml bottle. Young, fun packaging. 

Scent

Lavender, Citrus & Eucalyptus. This smell is gorgeous and fruity. The citrus scent is lovely.

Liked

*It does what it says on the tin. I use this product as if it were a mouse for volume. 

*It gives more life to my hair in seconds.

*When applied on wet hair, it makes your hair look very thick and healthy.

*You get instant volume when applied onto dry hair. You can run your fingers through the roots to recreate the volume if it gets flat.

*It does not leave my hair feeling greasy even when applied onto dry hair.

*I love the smell.

*A little goes a long way. I have loads left and have been using it all the time since June.

Disliked

*I couldn't say for sure, but it might not be suitable for oily hair. 

Recommended For:

*People with normal hair.

*Somebody who wants to make the transition from mainstream to natural/organic.

*People who want a replacement for silicone mouses.

*People who want thick healthy hair.

Repurchase?

Yes. Although I'm not sure I would pay £9.95 for it, I will be sad when it runs out and will probably want a new bottle!

TOTALLY BEACHIN'

BODY & WAVES STYLING MIST.

This product says it will give you sexy, surfer chic tousled hair. The coconut water and Sea Kelp will nourish hair while the pineapple and sea salt add texture to your hair. It can be sprayed onto dry or damp hair and air-dried or blow-dried to finish.

Price

RRP £8.89. But can be found cheaper online.

Packaging

177ml bottle. Random size in my opinion. Slightly taller, narrower bottle. Same cute packaging.  

Scent

Coconut, Mango & Vanilla. This scent is heavenly to me. I absolutely love the smell of it. Some people might not like the sweet scent but its a winner for me. It reminds me of my childhood and I want every product to smell like this!! 

Liked

*The scent of course.

*This product works. I have naturally wavy textured hair but It creates slightly more wave and definition.

*It doesn't give that crunchy dry effect that scrunched hair normally has.

*It gives my hair more volume.

*It doesn't run out quickly.

*Did I mention the scent?!

Disliked

*I think the scent attracted wasps on my holiday!

Recommended For:

*People with any hair type.

*Somebody who wants to make the transition from mainstream to natural/organic.

*Somebody who wanted to create a natural looking texture/wave to their hair.

*Someone who loves the smell of coconut and vanilla together!

Repurchase?

Although I love the smell, I'm not sure I would repurchase. There are lots of similar products out their and this product does a good job but I want to see what else will be as good. 

Rating

8.5/10

All round a good product worth checking out.

White Rose Soaps Mango and White Clay Face Mask Review

As my mum has a business selling handmade soap and natural skin care, you become a guinea pig trying all sorts of concoctions until the final product has been created to sell. This is great fun and I end up having favourite beauty products that I otherwise would have never tried. The process of making and testing one item takes months until the product is ready to sell. The face masks started being created in about March/ April and I can genuinely say I have been using and enjoying the Mango and White Clay Mask a lot since then. I have tried lots of different varieties and I always come back to this one!

This is an honest review on the face mask because I truly love the product. I wouldn't be using it once a week if I didn't like it. 

So on to the review.

Price

£6.50 for one jar. This is 50g and you get about 10 uses from one jar.

Packaging

A glass jar with waterproof label and secure lid. I'd like to think the label was nice but I designed it so that would be biased!

Scent

*The smell is gorgeous. It smells just like mangos- believe it or not!


Application
Mix powder to paste with water/milk/yoghurt and apply to face. Leave for 10 mins and wash off!

Liked

*My skin does not become irritated when the mask dries.

*You only need about 1 teaspoon, so the dry powder lasts forever.

*The dry formulation means your mask won't go off. 

*Its convenient, you don't need to start mixing up lots of products to create a face mask but you get the joy of a natural handmade face mask.

*Its an easy application.

*The morning after, my skin looks really fresh and feels smooth. The mask pulls outs all impurities!

Disliked

If you use it more than once a week, your skin might start to get irritated but apart from that I have no 'negative' things to say.

Recommended for:

*Normal skin types

*All ages- from teenage skin to mature skin

*Somebody who enjoys having a natural face mask but doesn't have the time to make one from scratch.

*There is also a Apricot and Honey mask which is good for all skin types and a strawberry one coming soon for oily skin. 

Repurchase?

Yes! This is my go-to product for great looking skin especially before and after a night out.

Today I have a post showing you a simple body scrub which will leave your skin feeling really soft and nourished. The scrub contains Rock Salt, Ground Almonds, Olive Oil and Lemon Juice. All of which combine to make your skin feel gorgeous. The salt and almonds exfoliate while the olive oil moisturises and the lemon juice helps to smooth out any skin imperfections.

EcoTools Brush Review & How I clean them.

Kabuki brush(far right) is by Lily Lolo.

EcoTools. Everybody has heard of them, everybody who likes natural make up has probably tried them. They are available in your local pharmacies such as Boots and Superdrug and are extremely affordable. As far as i'm aware, you can only get their brushes in the UK, but they sell other cosmetic products too. Ecotools.com say about their brand:

"EcoTools^® cosmetic brushes are what started it all! The iconic look of the sleek bamboo, gorgeous recycled aluminum and incredibly soft bristles are only part of what makes EcoTools, EcoTools.

Our cosmetic brushes are beautiful and show respect for the earth. They are 100% cruelty-free, have incredibly soft bristles made of synthetic taklon and have handles made of bamboo and recycled aluminum ferrules.

We also package every product in an eco-conscious way including: reusable pouches, post-consumer recycled plastic and recyclable packaging."

I bought the 6 Piece Brush set which includes Blush brush, Eyeshading brush, Eyeliner Brush, Lash and Brow Groomer, Concealer Brush and a case for your brushes.

 

I also own the Foundation brush and Eyeshadow Brush.

Price

£15.31 for 6 piece Brush set

£8.67 for Foundation Brush

£5.61 for Eyeshadow Brush

Packaging

The brushes come in a little storage pouch which you could use for putting your brushes in if your travelling. The brushes are made of Bamboo so have a nice look to them.   

Liked

*The brushes are extremely soft.

*They do not shed.

*They hold their shape after they have been washed.

*Their price. 

*The case my brush set came in. I use it all the time when travelling. 

*The variation of brushes. 

*High quality.

Disliked

*That I don't own any more!!

Favourite Brushes.

The eye-shadow brush as its great for blending and putting a colour over my eyelid. The blush brush as its a perfect size and shape and blends the blusher in well. The Eyeliner brush is also wonderful for using with my Lily Lolo mineral Eyeshadow in Moonlight.

Recommended For:

*Anybody interested in eco-friendly cosmetics. 

*Somebody who wants to make the transition from mainstream to natural/organic.

*People who don't want to break the bank buying a new brush.

*Somebody who wants long lasting good quality brushes.

Repurchase?

I plan on buying more of these brushes. I love them! I have nothing negative to say about them. They are wonderful brushes. My next purchase will be the powder/bronzing brush!

HOW I WASH MY BRUSHES

I thought it might be interesting to show you how I wash them. This doesn't involve buying any fancy brush cleaner. I simply use natural shampoo or natural soap. 

Step one. Run the brushes under warm water. Making sure to point the brush downwards so that you are not getting the rest of the brush wet as the glue that holds the bristles in might 'unstick'.

Step two. Lather up some shampoo or soap and swirl the brush around. Wash off with warm water and repeat until the water runs clear.

Step three. Squeeze out any excess water and reshape the brushes with your fingers. Leave on a towel until completely dry. I put mine in the airing cupboard as its warmer.  

Step four.Repeat with all brushes. I also use the same method for my Lily Lolo Kabuki Brush.

Thanks for reading guys! I love writing this blog. I have so many things to review for you so I think I will start doing more posts a week. Don't forgot to follow via Google Friend Connect or Bloglovin'. 

Have a nice day x
