Sloane Tea makes my faovurite teas! I'm a tea purist and prefer, just tea leaves. None of the extra chocolate bits and things of that nature. They're based out of Toronto, and their tea leaves are the good stuff. It's not watered down and a small teaspoon is all you need for a mug of coffee. I've been known to make a second up with the same leaves often, albeit slightly weaker, but still plenty flavourful.
The Heavenly Cream is my favorite one, although, they make all types of lovely tea. Heavenly Cream is a black tea and sooo smooth! I don't drink a lot of tea black, but this one, I do. This one also tastes amazing with milk and sugar as well, if that is up your alley. This tea is the reason why I have a tea drawer full of Sloane Tea at my coffee/tear bar!
The packaging is luxurious and eye-catching.

I don't use clay masks too frequently these days because my skin is now more dry and not nearly as acne prone as it used to be, and I find clay masks have a tendency to dry my skin out. This clay mask however, is not nearly as drying. I only applied a super thin layer on my face with more focus on the poresnon my nose. It was easy to spread on your face without getting super thick or heavy. Washing this off was a relatively quick and painless process. I noticed my skin didn't feel dry or tight afterwards and my skin felt smooth. My pores also felt a little less clogged.
I think if you are looking for a clay mask that is on the gentler side and have sensitive or acne prone skin, this might be the mask for you!

The cream is very lightweight, slightly whipped but more of a watery whipped consistency. I used this moisturizer following the intense hydrating serum. Together, they formed a nice layer to protect my ultra dry skin. I'm not a fan of the sticky feeling when it comes to serums and night creams, but that is personal preference. This cream has a cool feeling on the skin and soothing for minor skin irritations. -

The Serum has a consistency slightly more viscous than a liquid. Definitely a few drops is more than enough product for 1 application otherwise, your skin will be feeling quite sticky. There is a very light scent, but minimal, and mostly dissipates after application and you follow it with moisturizer. -

Following the cleansing moisturizer, I applied the Acqua Reviscentalis Reviving Lotion. This is an essence in lotion that acts somewhat like a toner to prep the skin. Because it a liquid, it is best to pour a bit of product onto your hands and pat on your face! A few small drops is enough! It does have a slight stickiness, but it is lightweight. I followed this step with my usual moisturizer and the morning-after my skin felt hydrated and plump. Even my pesky eczema patches were nicely hydrated the next morning. I was throughly impressed. -

The Crema Nera Cleansing Moisturizer is gentle and foams in a similar way as my favourite cleanser, but slightly less thick fresh out of the tube. It lathers into something like a creamy microfoam, as opposed to foam like the foaming hand soaps. Picture something similar to the perfect microfoam on a latte.
Only a tiny dollop of product is required, as it transitions into something thick, viscous and rich, as water is added and massaged over your face. This cleanser is quite gentle and feels luxurious on your skin. It washes off quite nicely and effortlessly, leaving your skin feeling refreshed!
It is fragranced, but only a touch more than subtle, and not so overpowering to the point, you feel like you're washing your face with perfume, and the scent dissipates once it's been rinsed off your face.

This night moisturizer contains Niacinamide, a form of Vitamin B3, which helps the skin retain moisture; also smoothing our uneven skin texture and reducing the look of wrinkles. While the texture of my skin has never been an issue and I am fortunate to not be at the age that I have anything more than a few fine lines yet, so I am unable to speak to whether I saw a difference in that regard.
I loved that this moisturizer is fragrance free because my skin + most fragranced skincare do not agree. The texture is rich and slightly whipped, but because it absorbs relatively quickly, it doesn't leave any stickiness to the skin!

When I first started my beauty/skincare journey, First Aid Beauty was one of the first brands I tried! I have eczema and everytime the weather changes, I get flare-ups and dry patches on my face, and the ultra repair cream provided the hydration I needed without being too heavy and leaving my skin feeling greasy! It a lifesave for dry skin and also soothing for eczema irritations! -

The Face Cleanser is gentle and while effective at removing dirt/makeup, doesn't feel like it's stripping the natural oils from your face, which is a yay, since my skin is already dry enough on its own! It is great if you have ultra dehydrated skin, dry skin because you live in a dry climate, or have eczema prone skin! -

The Coconut Smoothie Priming Moisturizer is a win for me. When it comes to primers because I not only have dry skin in a dry climate, but I also have eczema to tackle with, so lot of primers are way too drying for me and makes my makeup cling to the dry patches. This primer protects my skin and keeps it hydrated throughout the day! I also love that it also brightens and gives your skin that amazing luminous glow! I generally moisturize before using this, because dry skin and eczema patch girl over here, and it wears well 😊 -
