SKINCARE SOS: AD SKIN SYNERGY CLEANSING BALM REVIEW



 Cleansing balms have been around for a few years now and they seem to be really taking over the world of cleansers in the skincare world. For anyone who is new to the cleansing balm concept, they are an oil based cleanser that remains solid in room temperature but once it gets in contact with your skin it melts and cleanses your skin removing any traces of make up.

As I mentioned above there are many out there but today I wanted to talk to you about one particular brand called AD Skin Synergy who provide the finest natural and organic skincare range which has been designed in such  a way that they are suitable for every skin type , hello simple yet effective skincare! Now personally I have only discovered the brand recently and after only trying their cleanser only I am very keen to try out the rest of the range which says a lot in my opinion as when it comes to skincare I am a very picky person.

Organic and natural skincare has become pretty big over the last few years and if that is something your keen to convert to, girl I got some good news for you. AD Skin synergy products are free from petrochemicals, artificial perfumes, parabens and colorants meaning your not putting any nasty chemicals on your skin which can lead to irritation and redness on the skin not to mention unnecessary skin damage.


The Actual Cleanser?

The product's come beautifully packaged and your provided with a muslim cloth which seem to work best when used together due to the cleansing balm being very gentle the muslim cloth acts as your gentle exfoliator.  The product is very simple to use , I simply take a little pea sized amount warm up the product in between my hands and gently massage it on to your skin for a few minutes once you've completed that step wet your muslim cloth in warm water and start cleansing the skin. Now this will remove most of your make up however I am a double cleanse kinda girl as I like to make sure all of the dirt and make up is off my face the next step is optional you can either repeat this step or go in with your ordinary cleanser which is what I tend to do as that works best for my skin type.

Why should you try a cleansing balm?

So now that you know all about the concept behind it , you might be wondering why should you splurge out on this particular product. In my experience cleansing balms really make a difference in your skin and its condition, having used one before eliminating it from my routine and now bringing it back I can honestly say it makes a huge difference to the appearance of your skin. Cleansing balms have a lot of essential oils which not only feel relaxing due to their natural scent once applied to the skin they are very clever in a way that no matter what your skin type they will adjust to your skin needs hence why they are suitable for all skin types. I notice my skin feels more nourished and glowing when this is part of my routine I think this is particularly a must have product in winter when the air is very cold and harsh on the skin.

Overall this product has a huge thumbs up from me, it works great at removing make up , does not irritate the skin , leaves your skin balanced and not stripped from the natural oils which is what a lot of cleansing products tend to do.

PALMER'S COCONUT OIL HAIR RANGE REVIEW



Hair care is something I am pretty big on and always on the look out for the latest product launches which are designed for dry and damaged hair. Being blonde for over 6 years until last year did some pretty bad ass damage to my hair and I am now on a missions to try and get it back to a good condition.  During my recent visit at the hairdressers whilst going through magazines I came across an article about hair repairing products of which one of them was the Palmers Coconut Oil hair range which I have seen in shops before but never really showed much interest in the products for some odd reasons , which is strange considering I am a big fan of using organic coconut oil as a treatment. Nevertheless I picked up both the shampoo and conditioner and have totally fallen in love with both products. 

A little about the Products: 

The products contain coconut oil, keratin as well as vitamin e all of the ingredients mentioned have a great impact on repairing your hair and are all natural which is a bonus for anyone like me who colours their hair as it won't strip your colour off. On top of all of that the shampoo is sulfate and paraben free which is great as those two ingredients are known to be pretty damaging on the hair and tend to dry it out.



The shampoo has a white creamy consistency with a coconut scent to it which personally I really like, although it is paraben and sulfate free it does lather pretty well for an organic shampoo and I find it doesn't strip my hair or leave it feeling straw like intact the opposite it leaves it tangle free and super easy to manage. I found that this shampoo left my hair cleansed yet still provided me with moisture and manageability to my hair even when the conditioner wasn't used which is pretty impressive in my opinion. 

Conditioner: Feelunique: £3.99

The conditioner has a pretty thick almost like a treatment consistency but it is super easy to spread through the hair. The scent is pretty much the same as the shampoo which is pretty strong and does linger for a while. I tend to leave this conditioner on for ten to fifteen minutes to really deeply condition my hair and find I am left with silky , soft and tangle free hair after. This is by far one of the best inexpensive treatments I have used in a while! I have tried and tested many conditioners from the most expensive ones to the cheaper ones and this product is totally worth the hype. 


Overall:

These products are divine and I can honestly say it has been a while since I've loved a drugstore hair care product so much. The consistency and ingredients of both of the products are very impressive not to mention how well they work. I have only been using this for about three weeks and am very impressed with the results I had so far so am very much looking forward to the long term effects of this shampoo. Of course it is very important to switch up  your hair care so that your hair doesn't get use to a product or it will stop working however I can assure you this will be part of my routine for a very long time in the near future.

Dare To Stand Out





 The Bright Pants are back ,  many of you loved these from my LWF  SS15 post so I decided to do a post featuring these Pretty Little Thing Trousers  but in a more casual and everyday style, although this is not something everyone would be comfortable wearing as let's be honest these are a rather bright statement piece however personally I love it.  I paired it with this gorgeous Lace Top from H&M and my oh so very famous sandals from New Look which are still one of my favourite and most comfiest everyday pair of shoes. The white top adds a very chic and classic look whilst the black accessories add a little bit of contrast and drama to the look.
