Review of Lavera Shower and Bath Gel
By Irene M.
Packaging: Lavera Body Spa – Orange Feeling Shower and Bath Gel is packaged in an attractive free-standing orange and white tube. Lettering is in black and silver. The box in which the tube is housed has the same colour scheme and details the ingredients and further product information.
Application: Applied to wet skin in the bath or shower this delightful gel simply glides over the skin scenting it with a lovely orange fragrance.

Ingredients: Suitable for vegans, and formulated in accordance with the new NaTrue certification guidelines, Lavera Body Spa Orange Feeling Shower and Bath Gel combines the invigorating fragrance of organic orange with the moisturizing and soothing properties of sea buckthorn extract. Like all Lavera products, this shower and bath gel is guaranteed to be free from synthetic preservatives, perfumes, colorants and mineral oil products.

Results: Lavera Body Spa Orange Feeling Shower and Bath Gel is wonderfully mild – a gem of a product for somebody like me with super dry skin. This is definitely the mildest shower and bath gel I have ever used. My skin felt super soft after bathing and was fragranced with a lovely, totally natural, orange aroma.

Pros: A totally natural formulation. Wonderfully mild and moisturizing for even the driest of skins. Skin is left gorgeously scented with a natural orange fragrance. Excellent for travelling light as it doubles up as a lovely shampoo too!

Cons: Absolutely none!

Inika Mineral Eye Shadow Review

Reviews of Inika Mineral Eye Shadow

By Debra S.

Packaging:Inika Mineral Eye Shadow is simply contained in a clear plastic jar with a blacklid. The product name is printed in gold on the lid top. The clearplastic label on the bottom contains the basic information.

Application:There is a plastic sprinkle lid inside with holes in it topped with apull off label. As my nails are short, it was difficult to pull off this label. I use a brush for eye shadow, so I found it irritating touse, as I had to pull off the sprinkle lid too to dip my brush inside,which scattered powder.I needed to dip my brush twice into the powder to apply to the wholeof each eye. It went on evenly and looked the same colour as the colour in the jar.

Ingredients:The Inika website was easy to find and contained lots of information and looked fairly interesting. I noticed the shade was a different colouron the web, but that was to be expected. They talk of the purity ofthe ingredients and say they are organic.

Results:This gorgeous pale pink-brown coloured powder of Lychee 18 has a velvet softtexture. Although it went on evenly, it soon became patchy and fadedfast. I tried re-applying it, but the results were the same. Despitetrying it every day for a week, the results were disappointing, asthey were always the same.There were no allergic reactions though.

Pros:Gorgeous colourNo allergies

Cons:· Found the design fiddly to handle and apply· Need to apply a lot of powder to cover eyes· Colour was patchy· Colour faded fast.

Pai Camellia Cleanser Reviews

Review of Pai Camellia and Rose Cleanser
By Zainab C.

Packaging The Pai Camellia and Rose Cleanser comes in a little pot which is beneficial as it is re-usable. The design is classic and modern with black writing over clear plastic and a white lid. The full size product is packaged similarly in that it is clean and modern. The full size product comes in a pump dispenser design.

Application The Pai Camellia and Rose Cleanser is a white cream with a gel like consistency. It has an interesting scent, which, although calming, may not be pleasant for some people. It was easy to apply and can be washed off with water. However, I found that it worked better, and cleaned deeper if it was removed using a damp muslin cloth.

Ingredients All of the ingredients in Pai Camellia and Rose Cleanser were natural with several essential and vegetable oils. This cleanser has luxurious, rich ingredients such as rose water, Shea butter and manuka oil.

Results The overall result was that my skin was left cleansed, refreshed and nourished. The cleanser got rid of any grime and dirt and added a nice glow to the skin. It did what a cleanser should do to a high standard.

Pros: Very natural, rich ingredients
This cleanser did not dry out skin whilst cleansing and removed make-up well
Leaves skin feeling nourished and thoroughly cleansed

Cons: The scent may not be to everyone’s taste
· The packaging could have been more eco-friendly
· This cleanser was very good and there isn’t anything else I can put in the ‘Cons’ section!

Pai Macadamia Skin Cream Reviews

Review of Pai Macademia and Rose Skin Cream

By Louise M.

Packaging The Pai Macademia and Rose Skin Cream is contained within a beautifully decorated little glass pump dispenser, it could certainly take pride of place on your dressing table. The pump is also a hygienic way to work your way through the product without repeatedly putting your fingers back into the same jar. In line with the company’s ethics the pump is recyclable and comes with minimum packaging to minimise the product’s environmental impact.

Application Pai Macademia and Rose Dry Skin Cream has one of the most velvety textures of any cream I have ever tried. It is rich and creamy without feeling like it is sitting on the surface of the skin and from experience that seems to be a difficult balance to strike! Beyond the texture of the cream, the scent is also striking. Like many other natural face creams it smells of a very pleasant mix of rose germanium and roses, beautiful on its own but the scent does last a while and I found I needed to avoid wearing perfume as well.

Ingredients I have incredibly dry and sensitive skin, especially on my face and I tolerated this cream without any adverse reactions at all. The macademia oil and shea butter had wonderful moisturising properties and I imagine that the rose water would make this cream an especially good choice for mature skins. The formula of Pai Macademia and Rose Skin Cream also contains borage oil which I have used previously on my eczema so from my own experience I would have no hesitation about the benefits of this cream’s plant-based ingredients. I was also gratified to find out that Pai does not use any chemical nasties in their products, nor do they do not test on animals.

Results I was very impressed with this Pai Macademia and Rose Skin Cream. It looked feminine, sleek and modern in the packaging, felt like velvet on the skin and managed to keep my very dry skin hydrated for several hours (which is no mean feat). The scent of rose geranium was pleasant although a little overpowering, but this would certainly not stop me from using the product again. I imagine that over time the moisturising benefits would soothe skin further, so it would be worth sticking with it over several weeks.

Pros: Looks good and rather expensive in the bottle

· Has a wonderful texture which strikes the right balance between feeling rich and absorbing easily

· Really did moisturise my skin

· Has a raft of natural ingredients which did not aggravate my sensitive skin

Cons: The scent may be a little overwhelming

Logona Natural Concealer Stick Reviews

Review of Logona Natural Concealer Stick

By Debbie S.

Packaging I was sent a Logona Natural Concealer Stick tester, so the only information provided was very little on the circular label underneath. Container was quite a tasteful metallic bronze/pewter coloured metal tube with clear plastic cap, which pulls off and it then twists up.

Application I could not smell anything with this Logona Natural Concealer Stick at all. It looks light enough in colour for fair skin, but it actually changes on skin contact and becomes a darker shade. I noticed straight away that it was greasy, and was so greasy that it was very difficult to apply. It was like trying to apply oil, so subsequently it does not cover well.

This product does not last long either and it can be removed easily by simply touching.

Results Oh dear…I would definitely not recommend Logona Natural Concealer Stick at all. It does not do anything that a cover stick should. If I had bought it, I would have returned it immediately. After using this for a while, I developed a couple of spots, which I think is purely because of the greasy formula. I definitely did not enjoy using this Logona cover stick.

Pros: None

Cons: Ingredients contain alcohol

· Shade on skin different to shade in tube · Greasy · Difficult to apply · Poor coverage · Does not last long · Too easily removed · Poor website information · Greasiness caused a couple of spots to form

Pai Camellia and Rose Cleanser Reviews

Review of Pai Camellia & Rose Cleanser

By T Gunson

Packaging The Pai Camellia & Rose Cleanser comes in a small white plastic pot, with a screw top lid which gives you easy access to the cream. The packaging has the recycle symbol on it.

Application When I first used this Pai Camellia & Rose Cleanser, I thought the cream was going to be thick and hard to work with, but in fact it was the other way round. I found it easy and quick to use and quickly became part of my daily routine. The cream was white in colour and felt soft to touch and easy to clean off.

Ingredients They use some organically grown products which you can smell when you use the cream, which I love because I know I’m not putting any man made chemicals on skin. The ingredients were put on the outer packaging in English.

Result After using the Pai Camellia & Rose Cleanser on my face it felt soft, clean and moisturized. When I wash my face in the morning, I always need to put moisturizer on after but with this product I didn’t feel the need to do that. After a month of using this, my face was baby soft and looked healthy. I will definitely buy this product and use it again.

Pros: Leaves my face feeling soft and moisturised

• Smells fresh and summer like without being over the top
• Uses natural/organic ingredients which you can smell
• Easy to open and close pot

Cons: It is a small pot and quite expensive for the size.

• It was only a sample pot
• After a few uses I found it started to go a yellow colour
