Original Source green banana & bamboo milk

Original Source Green Banana & Bamboo Milk

My first question when I picked up this product was what does green banana and bamboo milk smell like?

To be honest I still can’t tell you what either of them smells like even after using the shower gel multiple times in the shower. What I think it smells like is sherbet; the kind you find in refresher sweets that fizzy fresh fragrance that I personally don’t find offensive in fact it is really nice. It is by far the subtlest fragrance I have found with Original Source shower gels; they are normally bursting with juiciness and fill your shower with a true to life fruit or herb explosion this one is slightly lacking that experience for me.

This shower gel does have many plus points:-

·         Vegan friendly

·         Tested only on humans (big plus in my opinion)

·         100% natural fragrance

·         Natural Moisturisers

On that last point the natural moisturisers are brilliant they left my skin moisturised for hours; my skin felt silky and to know that was done with natural elements is great peace of mind on my delicate skin. Whilst using the gel it creates luxuriously thick bubbles that are created with small amounts of product needed meaning they last ages.

Overall I don’t think I would buy this particular fragrance again but I would definitely buy from the ‘With milk’ range for the moisturising qualities and I always seek out their fruity shower gels for the fragrance. I highly recommend Original Source products.

Hair On Brush & Bobbles

Hair On Brush and Bobbles

I received both Hair On products in Glossy Boxes

I had never heard of Hair On before receiving them, but thank the lord I now do. I have extremely long thick wavy hair that tangles quickly and is normally a nightmare to brush; however this miracle blue mini brush is amazing. It detangled my hair with no fuss, there was no tugging or pain I have never brushed my hair so easily in my life. I highly recommend this product and to replace is only £7 bargain in my opinion.

The crease free bobbles are spirals of plastic which is normally the sort of thing I keep away from my hair as it does tangle so easily but these bobbles are brilliant. They allow me to put my hair in a pony tail or bun without leaving a huge crease across the middle of my hair, as my hair os so thick they stretch out so only last half the day before I need to swap for another one but my hair is ridiculously thick. I leave the bobbles till the next day and they have returned back to normal size and shape.

Overall I will be sorting out Hair On for more products as I have nothing but praise for this brand.

original source mango shower gel

Original Source – Mango Shower Gel

This is my first review on Original Source products but is in no way my first experience with them; in my house hold these shower gel go like hot cakes and I never get to review them before they are in the shower.

Using the mango showering gel is like being in a star burst; the fragrance is amazing and feels your bathroom it has a real citrus sharpness that I love with the mango sweetness. It lathers lovely and makes your shower a very fruity experience.

The products are made in the UK with all natural products which I love it is also tested on humans not animals, vegan friendly, the bottle is recyclable and uses all natural fragrance oil. What more could you ask for in a humble shower gel.

I highly recommend Original Source; we currently have 3 on the go in our shower and I always give them in gift hampers at Christmas and birthdays.

bee good plump & firm

Bee Good Plump & Firm moisturiser

I received this in May 2016 Glossy Box.

Firstly I love the packaging; the light blue tube has a honeycomb patterning in the back ground with super cute little bees flying around the tube. The applicator is a thin nozzle which I squeezed on to my finger for applying rather than directly on to my skin as this gives me greater control. The thin nozzle allows you to apply small amounts of moisturiser so you do not over load your skin.

I applied on freshly cleansed skin and it made my skin feel smooth and moisturised over night; I only used it on targeted areas around my mouth, my eyes and forehead. I don’t need the plumping action just yet but those are the areas that are always affected first due to the skin be thinner.

The product itself is made in the UK by British bees and contains no parabens, synthetic colours, mineral oils, SLS or SLES. I really enjoyed using this product and would definitely consider purchasing again. I look forward to seeing what else Bee Good have in their product line.

Absolute new york Lolita

Absolute New York Velvet Lippie ‘Lolita’

I received this lipstick in May 2016 Glossy Box.

I have been on the hunt for a good liquid lipstick; so far I have been disappointed. They are normally gloopy and sticky and more like a lip-gloss than a lipstick. However this may be my long lost lipstick; it glides on effortlessly leaving a solid colour without need to ‘cake it on’ to get the same effect as a traditional bullet lipstick.

The colour looks really bright up close but from a slight difference it creates the look of healthy pink full lips. The texture is like butter and leaves your lips feeling smooth and soft through out the day.

I highly recommend this product and cant wait to look at more products from the company. I had never heard of them before but that is one of the joys of Glossy box you always get something new.

Thanks for reading.

Leighton Denny Morning Dew

Leighton Denny – Morning Dew

If you are looking for a summery teal this colour is perfection. It screams summer for me; visits to the beach and long days of sun or if like me and you live in gloomy grey England then at least this colour can transport you to a sunny location.

I am a huge lover of Leighton’s products and colours however this one didn’t go on great, it didn’t go on with a smooth motion like normal it was dragging and took four coats to get level. I hope this was a once off as I have not experienced this before with Leighton’s nail varnish.

Thanks for looking

Love

After publishing this post Leighton Denny arranged a replacement product to be sent. Great customer service. 

Tsum Tsum collecting

Disney Tsum Tsum Collection

I have put off buying any Tsum Tsums as I am the kind of person who goes from 0-100 in 5 seconds and knew that after I brought one my collection would grow quickly. For those who dont know what Tsum Tsums are i have taken a picture of the tag that comes on all your Tsum Tsums as they can explain it better than me. Me and the kids call Tsum Tsums disney hamsters as they have the cute squishy look like chubby little hamsters.

 I am a true Disney addict and love everything from the films, the parks and all the toys and collectables. This post I will be constantly updating with Tsum Tsums as I buy them to show everyone my collection how it grows, I will date all updates as I go. I have a 4 year old little boy and a 1 year old little girl so as I buy them they have to be evenly sexed or world war 3 breaks out.

My first 2 – the beginning 30/6/2016
