Comvita Radiance Plus Moisturiser – Brilliant Stuff!Beauty by Mrs C - June 16, 2011Comvita Radiance Plus Moisturiser is a really lovely moisturiser which you're meant to use at night after cleansing and toning.I've never been one for toning so in my case I use it after taking my make-up off every night. I haven't tried using it in the daytime yet but I'm tempted to, as it doesn't seem at all greasy to me like many of
Not Too Sure About Weleda Skin FoodBeautyShopping and About Town by Mrs C - June 6, 2011September 26, 2011Anyone who has read any of my blogs will know what a massive Weleda fan I am but I have to say I was a little disappointed with my latest purchases.First of all, Weleda Skin Food ....Yes it hydrates dry skin but no more than similar cheaper products. For me anyway, it also has quite an unpleasant smell. I wanted to try it for
Living Nature Nourishing Day CreamBeauty by Mrs C - May 20, 2011Like all the moisturisers I've bought from the MyPure website, Living Nature Nourishing Day Cream is completely free of all the usual nasties you find in most of them. I wouldn't say this one was particularly special but it's certainly a good everyday moisturiser. It's a tad creamier than I like for daytime but it nevertheless sinks in quite quickly and within 5 minutes

Japan Aid is LushBeautyShopping and About Town by Mrs C - April 11, 2011If you want to help a good cause and smell good too, then buy one of Lush’s LIMITED EDITION Japan Aid soaps and all the proceeds will go to the relief effort in Japan. The soap is a fiver, which isn't far off what you'd spend in a visit to Starbucks and spending it will make you feel very virtuous!The powers-that-be at Lush were as
Senzimi SkincareBeauty by Mrs C - April 8, 2011I've been using Senzimi Cleanser and Moisturiser over the past few weeks and apart from the scent of the cleanser, I am pretty impressed.The cleanser has an unfortunate scent for what is basically a good and very effective product. No such problem with the moisturiser though and this is one I will almost definitely buy again.The sensitive daily moisturiser is absorbed easily enough although when
A’kin Skin Care Lavender & Rose Moisturising Night CreamBeauty by Mrs C - March 21, 2011March 21, 2011Before I go any further, let me just say that I love, love, love A'kin Lavender & Rose Moisturising Night Cream. The scent alone is a winner. So many of the 'natural' moisturisers, I've been trying recently, smell quite unpleasant but this one is lovely. (Although the A'kin daytime rose-scented one still remains my alltime favourite.) The lavender-scented anti-oxidant Night Time Face Cream includes alpha
A’kin Rose De Mai MoisturiserBeauty by Mrs C - February 25, 2011March 1, 2011After months and months of struggling to find decent skincare products whicharen't packed full of a zillion 'nasty ingredients', I've just come across the A'kin range from MyPure. I've been using the A'kin Rose de Mai Anti-Oxidant Day Creme. It's a lovely rose-scented moisturiser which sinks in well, is really well absorbed and doesn't leave my skin greasy for ages - something I've found with
What is Sea Buckthorn?BeautyShopping and About Town by Mrs C - January 27, 2011January 28, 2011I've been trying out a new moisturiser called Alva Sanddorn Moisturising Cream, from a range of anti-ageing natural beauty products. The 'blurb' says 'it is an intensive day cream which boosts the protective mechanisms of your skin'. Then there's the sciencey bit which says, in a nutshell, that the cream protects against damaging UV-rays and free radicals. It's meant to smooth out fine lines and
