Beauty Thursday

This week's Beauty Thursday is dedicated to my review of AA Essentials Skincare's Lavender and Tea Tree moisturizing face lotion. I was recently sent this moisturizer to test out and consider to review for you lovely people. As usual, I must stress all of the opinions are my own.

AA Skincare have many years experience in aromatherapy and natural skincare, and create naturally effective products for your skin whilst being affordable. I love having great products out there  that are affordable anyway so when I find a great brand with natural ingredients in their ingredients I become obsessed.

I received the moisturizer a month ago and have been testing it for a while. It's described as a gentle daily moisturizer made with pure essential oils and herbal extracts formulated to naturally detox and balance skin.
 To apply, you simply squirt two pumps onto your hand and rub upwards into your face. This moisturizer is suitable for all skin types but works great with acne prone skin.

The lavender helps to smooth, and balance the skin, whilst the tea tree oil helps to clear and refresh the skin. The scent of the lavender  also gives a very calming feel.

Pros:

- Made with natural ingredients

- Nice calming scent

- Nice packaging, comes with a pump and the plastic bottle is great for travelling

- Large bottle of product for price, so will last a good time period

- Helps reduce redness around breakouts

- suitable for all skin types

Cons:

- Takes a little while longer to absorb, so I personally would use it as a night time moisturizer 

Overall, I enjoyed using the product and would recommend it to a friend. I really liked the effect the moisturizer had on my skin, when I applied the product I did feel a cooling sensation on the breakouts that I had and I found when I woke up the next morning, 
the area around them wasn't as red or swollen. I would personally recommend this as more of a night time moisturizer over a morning one, as it does feel a little thicker and takes a little longer to absorb into the skin, also the soothing lavender scent helped me feel relaxed like I was ready for bed. Although it didn't clear my breakouts, the natural ingredients helped to reduce the swelling and redness so I was grateful for that.

For this week's Beauty Thursday, I was recently scent an AA Essentials Skincare natural deodorant in the scent grapefruit and cedarwood and thought I would review it for you guys. As usual, I must stress all of the opinions expressed are my own. AA Skincare have many years experience in aromatherapy and natural skincare, and create naturally effective products for your skin whilst still being affordable.

I received the deodorant almost a month ago and have tested it for a while. There are three different deodorants in the collection- bergamot and aloe, grapefruit and cedarwood and lemongrass and lavender. They're made with natural ingredients and don't contain alcohol or artificial fragrances.

The roll on container makes sure that none of the product is waisted. The deodorant has a clean and light sweet scent. The roll on glides on the skin smoothly and dries out in a minute or two without feeling sticky.

Pros:

- Made with Natural ingredients

- Great scent

- Lasts well, only need to reapply after 5 hours

- The roll on ensures no product is wasted

Cons:

- The glass wouldn't be great for travelling and could break easily.

Overall I enjoyed using the product and would recommend it to a friend. It's the first natural deodorant I have tried so I don't know how it compares to other natural ones but I definitely love that there are more and more natural products coming out.

Beauty Thursday- AA Skincare Essentials Collection

For this week's Beauty Thursday, I was recently sent a Refreshing Eye Gel from the brand AA Skincare Essentials to review for you guys. Once again, I must stress all of the opinions expressed are my own. AA Skincare have many years experience in aromatherapy and natural skincare, and create  naturally effective products for your skin whilst still being affordable.

I received this eye Seaweed and Aloe Refreshing eye gel two weeks ago and have gotten to test it a good few times now. First off, I love how cute and handy the packaging is, I love products that have pumps because it's so much more hygienic than the jars or pots and it's a good size that you are getting value for your money but you can also fit for travel. The Refreshing Eye Gel has multi purposes; it can safely remove eye make up, soothes tired eyes and can also help cool the skin after the sun. 

As you all know by now I have sensitive skin so before I placed the product near my eyes I rubbed it in the back of my hand and had no reaction so I tested it on my eye's. Thankfully the few times I've been using it I have really liked it.

The gel is thin and when I applied it, it felt really light and I got a tingling sensation on my face. It instantly absorbs into the skin and then gives a firming sensation making my skin feel refreshed and alive. When you apply it as a cooling gel you just lightly dab and rub into the area around your eyes.

If you are using it as a make up remover, you just apply one pump onto a cotton pad and remove your make up. I was really surprised at how easy it was to remove my make up, I didn't have to rub very hard to remove my eye make up which I sometimes need to with other make up removers.

Pros:
- The packaging is adorable and having a pump is so handy! 
- It does a great job of waking up my eyes and face no matter how tired I was and it also removed my eye make up with ease! 
-It's super affordable
-It's multipurpose, who doesn't love multipurpose things?!

Cons:
- When I used it to remove my face make up other than eyes I felt greasy for about 15 minutes afterwards

Overall I really enjoyed using this product and would definitely recommend it! It did a great job at removing my eye make up and it was a miracle when I didn't have much sleep and had a tired looking face.

The Seaweed and Aloe Refreshing Eye Gel costs £6.96 and you can purchase it here:

That's it for this week's Beauty Thursday, I hope you enjoyed today's blog!
