- Ume Ni Uguisu Steamcream.

I love testing out lotions and potions for my body and I to see how they perform, especially at this time of year when dry skin is guaranteed with the colder weather. Recently I got this Ume Ni Uguisu Steamcream*  tin to try and I've been enjoying it very much so far...

First off, the packaging is a total winner, this tin is definitely a keeper when I've run out of actual cream.. It would be so perfect to keep earrings in or something. They have loads of different designed tins, each one is unique and really cute!

As for the actual Steamcream, I really like it. A big reason for that is because it's a great multi-use product and I love a product that has more than one use. I have used this for my hands, face, body and even a tiny bit to tame frizz in the ends of my hair! It's very hydrating and works really well under makeup, to soften those drier areas like elbows and heels and even on hair like I said. It also smells really good, very fresh and natural.

This product gets a thumbs up from me. Take a look for yourself here and check out the cool tin designs here. I'm loving them!

Multi Purpose Skin Saver! » Liz Earle's Superbalm!

I am sure that many of you have heard of the 'Superbalm' from Liz Earle? I was keen to give this a try as it sounds like a winter skin savour!

This product is amazing, and so multi purpose. I love a product that has lots of different uses, they make me smile! Liz Earle's Superbalm is suitable for all skin types. It's a salve that rescues and soothes skin. Made from pure plant oils and natural waxes plus shea butter, it gently softens and calms dry skin on hands, heels, elbows and lips and also helps condition nails and cuticles. 


It contains a long list of naturally active ingredients, including :
Avocado Oil
Rosehip Oil
Neroli Essential Oil
Vitamin E
Beeswax
Chamomile Essential Oil/Extract
 
To name just a few ...

So, what do I think of it? .. I really like it actually .. It has a lovely scent to it which is kind of fruity and herbal at the same time, it's quite strong, but smells good enough to eat! It's a hard balm that melts to the touch and I have been loving it on my dry patches and cuticles, it softens everything and is addictive to use!
 
It soothes and hydrates the skin leaving it feeling smooth and soft. You only need the tiniest amount of superbalm for your needs and it doesn't leave your skin with a greasy feeling at all. This is definetely a winter skin saviour product!

Have you tried this before? What are your favourite Liz Earle products?

Superbalm is available from the Liz Earle website, or in store. They also sell a mini jar too, perfect for popping in your hand bag, or travel! :)

» Trilogy : Certified Organic Rosehip Oil.

Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil has been voted ‘Best Organic Anti-Ager’ and praised as ‘an organic miracle worker’ in the UK’s prestigious Harpers Bazaar Beauty Hot 100. Sales of the organic oil have soared 85%, with shops having to re-stock  as women snap up this wonder oil! The only budget anti-ageing product to be featured by the prestigious annual ranking from the Harpers Bazaar beauty team, identifies the ‘best products’ on the market today - products which the team say ‘deliver on their promises’. Trilogy’s oil was on par with expensive products such as Crème de la Mer’s £210 Regenerating Serum, which won best skin transformer, and Skinceuticals’ £124 CE Ferulic, best skin boosting serum.

“An organic miracle worker, this luxurious oil really makes a difference, whether your skin needs a hefty boost or you want to reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks. Massage it overnight for noticeably plumper, prettier skin for the morning after.”
That all sounds like amazing praise, doesn't it? .. That's why I did not turn down the chance to try this miracle worker out! I was sent this about two weeks (or so) ago now, and I was super excited to get trying it out.


Even though it is an oil it claims to not be greasy, and suitable for all skin types, So in I went - I read all of the into, cleansed and stuff, and then dropped a couple of drops into my palms, massaged together, and then massaged into my face and neck. Upon application it feels a little slippery, but after less than a minute of rubbing it in, it was all but gone! It certainly does not feel greasy, which is amazing for something with the word oil in the name.

It smells good and instantly gave my skin a boost and left my skin feelings hydrated, smooth and plump. It has now become a regular staple in my evening skincare, and I apply it each night before I go to sleep. It soothes my skin, and I wake up with moisturised skin that is ready for anything.

This is also great for multi use, and can be used on cuticles, stretch marks and the like, which is a big plus too, I love multi purpose products. You only need the smallest amount of it for use too, so a bottle with last you for ages! I have barely made a mark on mine yet.

The packaging is nice and the dropper is simple to use, and I like the glass bottle.It's small enough to carry with you, for all your needs too.

Oh, and Trilogy also have an awesome campaign whereby they are donating $1.00 from the sale of each specially marked box of Rosehip oil to the Borneo Orangutan Foundation, which is the world’s largest orangutan rescue sanctuary, So that is an added bonus, You can treat yourself, and help out those gorgeous Orangutan's.
