Review: Joik Citrus & Bergamot Body Butter

Hi loves! Today's review is on Joik Citrus & Bergamot Body Butter (150ml, 17.50€). Their products are 100% natural, gluten free, cruelty free and vegan. It comes in a plastic tub and has a black lid with the brands logo on it. The formula of it is light weight and it has a citrusy and herbal scent to it. The scent comes from essential oils. The formula of it is enriched with shea butter, coconut oil and macadamia oil. It helps to hydrate skin and keeps it soft and smooth.

I have been using after shower and it's amazing gem to have. It sinks into my skin fast leaving it soft and silky smooth. It also helps to maintain the elasticity in the skin. I also like it keeps my skin hydrated for days. I don't need to reapply it every day, which is a plus. Another good thing is that I don't need a lot of it. Little goes a long way. It's so effective product.

Ingredients: aqua, butyrospermum parkii seed butter, orbignya oleifera seed oil, glycerin, macadamia ternifolia seed oil, caprylic/capryc triglyceride, olea europaea oil unsaponifiables, isoamyl laurate, apricot kernel oil polyglyceryl-4 esters, isocetyl stearoyl stearate, glyceryl stearate citrate, polyglyceryl-4 cocoate, sucrose stearate, cetyl alcohol, sodium ricinoleate, sodium benzoate, xanthan gum, glyceryl caprylate, citrus aurantium bergamia fruit oil, potassium sorbate, sodium phytate, citrus aurantium dulcis peel oil, limonene*, linalool*, benzyl benzoate*, farnesol*, benzyl salicylate* *components of natural essential oils


Joik is one of my favorite natural beauty brands. There is so many products I enjoy from them and I highly recommend this body butter. Its so delicious skin food ;) if you are interested you can check it out here. There is another flavor available. I wish they would expend their body butter range.

which is your favorite natural beauty brand?

Review: Turbliss Bioactive Peat Mask with 24K Gold

Hi loves! I have been using few weeks now Turbliss Bioactive Peat Mask with 24K Gold (180ml, €38.50). They make 100% natural products and everything is handmade. It's also vegan and I like there is only 2 ingredients: peat and gold. No nasty ingredients.

The mask comes in a dark glass jar and has a black cap on it. The design of the label is with white, black and gold. I love how they designed it and it fits the brand well.

The mask has no scent to it and it looks in the jar dark brown. It's more to the thick side and feels like its whipped. It claims to do a lot of good thing to the skin like smooths wrinkles, slows down the depletion of collagen and hyaluronic acid, reduces skin receptivity to allergies, increases the production of elastin, reduces pigmentation, alleviates acne and psoriasis and gives a silky smooth sensation. Gold ions helps to stimulate cell metabolism.

How to use: It's recommended to use 2-3 times a week. the instructions say to apply it on clean wet skin. Leave it on for 10 minutes and don't let it dry on the skin. They recommend to moist the mask with their peat toner or spray clean water or wet fingers 2-3 times while using the mask. After 10 minutes remove the mask with damp cloth and I also wash the face with water after I have removed most of the mask. They day slight reddening might occur due to the increase of microcirculation.

My skin always looks so smooth and soft after I have used this mask. I used it always after I have taken shower. It's also great to use in sauna. I can't comment how it works on wrinkles, because I don't have any. But it does help with skin texture and my skin looks so much clearer since I started using it.

I did try to find it online, but it's sold out everywhere. If you are in Estonia you can check out Kaubamaja, Pillerkaar and I.L.U. To be honest I don't know where you could buy it outside of Estonia. The few pages I found this mask was sold out.

Have you tried skincare with peat before?

Review: Inecto Naturals Superbly Smoothing Coconut Body Lotion

Hi loves! Sorry for missing last week's blog post. The day just got away from me. But I'm here now and sharing with you Inecto Naturals Superbly Smoothing Coconut Body Lotion (250ml). Their products contain up to 90% natural ingredients and are vegan. I picked it up when I was last time in France and have used it on and off ever since.

The lotion comes in a white squeeze tube packaging. I love how simple and fuss free it is.

The formula of the lotion is light weight and is bit like a gel. It has a sweet coconut scent. It's not too overwhelming though. I can smell it only when I put my nose close to my skin where I applied it. The lotion sinks into the skin fast and fits dry to very dry skin type. It's perfect for me, because my skin on the body is very dry. I need to moisturize every day. It's recommended to apply twice on spots which are rough.

Ingredients: AQUA> 75% - ≤100%, ISOPROPYL MYRISTATE> 1% - ≤5%, GLYCERIN> 1% - ≤5%, STEARIC ACID> 1% - ≤5%, CETYL ALCOHOL> 1% - ≤5%, CETEARYL ALCOHOL> 1% - ≤5%, ACRYLATES / C10-C30 ALKYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER> 0.1% - ≤1%, LAURYL METHYL GLUCETH-10 HYDROXYPROPYLDIMONIUM CHLORIDE> 0.1% - ≤1%, COCOS NUCIFERA (> 0.1%) -> 0.1% ≤1%, PEG-20 STEARATE> 0.1% - ≤1%, PEG-14M ≤0.1%, PERFUME> 0.1% - ≤1%, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN ≤0.1%, PHENOXYETHANOL> 0.1% - ≤1% SODIUM HYDROXIDE ≤0.1%

I do like this body lotion. It's going to be perfect for summer. I love the light weight texture and how fast it sinks into my skin and leaves it smooth and soft, no stickiness. If you are interested you can find it here.

Have you tried any of their products before?

Thank you so much! xo's

Review: Aïcha Glowing Radiance Range

Hi loves! Welcome back to my blog! This week's post is on Aïcha Glowing Radiance Range and I have their Rice & Poppy Face Scrub (100ml, 27.95 euros) and Antioxidant Face Mask (100ml, 31.50 euros). Both products come in a white and turquoise blue squeeze tube packaging. It looks so beautiful and I love the contrast of the white and turquoise . The formula of these is vegan, paraben and sulphate free. There is no chemicals in their products and their products are not tested on animals.

I have been using Aïcha Rice & Poppy Face Scrub in the mornings to wake my skin up. Some amazing ingredients it contains are oat and rice mil and also vitamin C. It's a super gentle face scrub with poppy seeds, which massage the skin. It activates the blood circulating and removed dead skin cells. It also helps with the production of collagen and ensures new cell generation.

I like its gentle enough so I can use it everyday. It's a thick cream with poppy seed in it. I apply it on dry skin and massage it into it and after that I wash it off with warm water. It makes my skin feel plump, soft and hydrated. It's perfect for autumn and winter. I also like it doesn't have a strong scent to it.

After I have cleaned my skin I like to do their Antioxidant Face Mask. Its thicker cream mask and has a slight green color to it.  There is no strong scent to it, which I like. It's with green pea extract, spinach, kale, oat and rice milk and also vitamin B8.

It's recommended to use once or twice a week. I apply on cleansed, dry skin, thick layer of the mask and keep it on for 10 minutes, you could keep it up to 15 minutes. After that I remove it with damp cloth. You can also wash it off with warm water.

It works like magic! Every time I use it my skin looks so much brighter and plumper. I love to use it before special event to have a brighter looking complexion. It also plumps the skin and my makeup applies so much better after I have done this mask. I always have a great skin day when I use this mask.

I did got these as PR, but I do love both of these products. I love the brand itself and I have bought with my own money their products over and over again. I love the Antioxidant Mask and I need to have it always in my routine. I'll be buying it once it run out. The Rice & Poppy Face Scrub is perfect for winter, so I would wait the weather to get colder to buy it once this one runs out.

If you are interested checking out the brand you can find their online store here. I believe these are not on it yet, but you can always get in touch with them and ask if they have them.

Which is your favorite pick me up face mask?

Thank you so much! xo's

Review: Novexpert Booster Serum with Hyaluronic Acid

Hi loves! Happy Sunday! Hope you are all doing well. Today's post is a review on Novexpert Booster Serum with Hyaluronic Acid (30ml, €49.90). It french brand and all the skincare is formulated in France. 95% to 100% molecules are plant based or derived from green biotechnology. 

The serum comes in a black glass bottle and has a dropper. The serum itself is clear and watery. It contains in the formula 4 different molecular weight of hyaluronic acids to act all levels of the skin. It can be used together when you get hyaluronic acid injections. It is perfect for dull, dehydrated and tiered skin. It's not recommended for oily skin type. My skin is between oily and norma, so I'm more combo skin. I have to say it has been wonderful for my skin.

First thing I noticed, when I used it, how soft my skin got. It also plumps the skin and makes it seem overall more healthy. I tried on my girlfriend and she has very dry skin and after first use her skin was plump and hydrated. Its ideal for dry skin type.

I used it every morning and evening after I have cleansed the skin and applied the toner. And I use only 3 drops. It's recommended to use up to 6 drops.

Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Propanediol, Sodium PCA, Sodium Lactate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Perfume (Fragrance), Arginine, Lactobacillus Ferment, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Phytic Acid, Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, Xylitol, Galactaric Acid, PCA Ethyl Cocoyl Arginate.




I'am in love with this products. Its so good at keeping my skin hydrated and it helps to smooth out fine lines. It also helps to stimulate procollagen, because of polysaccharide. It has fragrance in it, but it's not too strong and it hasn't irritated my skin. I'm very happy with this serum :) If you are interested you can order it here.

Have you tried the brand before?

Wishlist #1 | 2019

Hi loves! I haven't done a wishlist for sometime and I think its time to one. These are some of the products I wanna try from brands I have never tried before. 

100% Pure:

There are few items I wanna try from the brand 100% Pure and first is their Multi-Vitamin + Antioxidants Potent PM Serum (€64.24, link). This claims to help brighten the skin, fight against fine lines and contains lot of good anti-aging ingredients. I also like its natural, gluten free, cruelty free and vegan. 

The second item I wanna try from the brand is their Gemmed Luminizer (€40.29, link). There is 2 shades available, but my name calls the shade Moonstone Glow. The shade looks stunning and they used fruit pigments to create this, how awesome is that. Do I need to say anything else :P

arbū

Next is a brand called arbū from Bulgaria and I wanna try their Advanced Wrinkle Erase Cream with Peptides Complex ( €119.00, link). 82% of the ingredients are organic. It helps to reduce the look of wrinkles and fine lines, helps with skin texture for more smoother looking skin. All the things I want :)

Next I wanna try their Revivifying Toner (€49.00, link). Its 95% organic and its a rose toner. I love everything with roses. It hydrates and tones the skin. It can also be used as a mist through out the day. Their products are not tested on animals.

Bee Good 

The last brand I wanna try is Bee Good. Its a British brand and I so wanna try the NectaPerfecta Beautifying Mask (£39.95, link). This sounds wonderful when the skin needs some plumping. Do I even have to say anything more.

Review: Joik Exfoliating Facial Scrub

Hi loves! Today's review is on Joik Exfoliating Facial Scrub (75ml) with AHA fruit acids, bamboo and stone granules. The scrub comes in a black squeeze tube packaging and has a simple and clean design. 

The formula is 100% natural and its cream based micro peeling scrub. It's also gluten free. It removes gentle all dead cells, helps to improve skin tone and promises to give healthy glow. 

I have been using it since January and I like to use it in the mornings. It has a faint fruit scent to it, which I like. I apply a little bit on the dry face and gently massage the face with it. The particles in it are fine and it makes my skin soft. It also leaves my skin hydrated. It doesn't feel stripped or too tight after using it. It's perfect scrub for this time of the year when the weather is colder.

Ingredients: aqua, cocos nucifera oil, butyrospermum parkii fruit butter, glycerin, helianthus annuus seed oil, bambusa arundinacea stem powder, stearic acid, carthamus tinctorius seed oil, olea europaea seed powder, vaccinium myrtillus fruit extract, saccharum officinarum extract, cetearyl glucoside, sodium levulinate, sodium anisate, citrus aurantium dulcis fruit extract, citrus limon fruit extract, acer saccharum sap extract, citrus aurantium amara peel oil, linalool*, limonene* * components of natural essential oils.

I think its fantastic face scrub and I don't need to use much, so it will last me for a long time. It doesn't have strong scent and has been gentle to my skin. I'm very happy with it. I discovered you can get their products now in Netherlands, so I don't have to buy them from Estonia. If you are interested in it you can find it here. Its around 23 euros.

Whats your favorite face scrub?
