I used the shampoo that goes with this conditioner first and followed that with this conditioner. I found the shampoo very drying and was hoping that using the conditioner after would help. The conditioner is ok but isn't that moisturising. My hair is quite dry and I do swim daily so my hair gets washed each day after swimming. When I use my usual shampoo and conditioner they seem to help my hair revive while this shampoo and conditioner leaves my hair feeling a bit parched.
I can't say I have noticed the colour of my hair changing either which is a bit disappointing.

I absolutely love this stuff. It is a body conditioner you apply when wet in the shower then rinse off. It smells of rose jam and So yummy.
I actually prefer to use it as a moisturiser and not rinse it off as the smell is so lovely I enjoy smelling my skin all day long. I have not found it to cause any reaction from not rinsing it and I feel all the goodness will be absorbed by my skin and not washed down the drain!!

I have been using this shampoo for about ten days and really cannot see any big difference in my hair shine. The shampoo is a pale purple colour and not as dense a purple/blue as the shampoos I have bought previously for blonde hair.
The shampoo lathers ok but I did need to use a good amount to get a lather and my hair is quite short. As I got two tubes of shampoo I had to use my own conditioner and I am sure the result would have been better had I had the conditioner that went with this shampoo.
I found that my hair which has a tendency to be dry became much drier using this shampoo and I had to use hair masks a couple of times during the ten days I used this shampoo.
I am not sure I would buy this shampoo again as I was a bit disappointed with te result n my hair.

The pack has seven separately packed masks which are sealed. As you unpack the mask and unfold it the mask begins to heat up.
The two eye pads are held onto your head with fabric ear bits so it is very comfortable to wear. It feels lovely and soothing on your eyes as it gently warms and emits a lovely lavender aroma too which helps the entire brain relax at the same time.
Because you have to close your eyes you are forced to do nothing else like watch TV or read so you really are zoned out and totally realxed.

I don't use these often in my wash since I discovered that they are harmful to the environment and it all goes into the water and eventually into the sea. I now use mine for freshening in my wardrobe; I put some in a small cloth bag in my wardrobe and shake it every now and then. Great for putting in shoes too to keep the odours away.
The other thing I use mine for is ina small cloth bag I pack some in my suitcases and this makes my clothes smell nice while we are travelling.

This is one of my 'go to' lip balms as they are lovely in texture, feel great on my lips and lasts well once applied. It is full of great natural moisturising ingredients and really helps to stop my lips from chapping in winter.
They are not the cheapest option but for a non-petroleum based product it is great value in my view.

I got a small sample tube of this in a beauty box but have since bought it from Birchbox. It is beautiful but expensive, it's my indulgent treat.
All the Three Whishes body butters contain Organic Aloe, Organic Raspberry Butter, and Organic Shea Butter. They are great for repairing and rejuvenating antioxidant ingredients.
I did love the smell of this it was sweetly lavender rather than herby lavender but not in any sickly or ‘old lady’ way at all. It is a pleasant calming fragrance and one I loved to apply after my evening bath and it soaked into my skin easily and left it smelling great.
I found the body butter no where as thick as a Body Shop butter, more like a rich lotion in texture. Because it is all natural it kind of melts into your skin and really soaks in leaving my skin feeling well nourished and yet not feeling sticky, greasy or slippery at all.
I have very sensitive skin so have to be careful what I apply and this has not caused me any itchiness at all nor did I develop any rashes as sometimes happens.
The ingredients that moisturise in this are :
Organic Aloe: which is a gentle and soothing, natural antiseptic with anti-bacterial properties, anti-inflammatory, and moisturising properties.
Organic Shea Butter which is a wonderful natural moisturiser with a high content of non-saponifiable fats which are by far the best natural skin moisturisers. It is also high in anti-oxidants.
Organic Raspberry Butter which is high in anti-oxidants which attack free radicals and is also a good moisturiser.
As well as these lovely natural moisturising ingredients this also has Organic Rice Bran Oil which is very high in tocotrienols; a super anti-oxidant that they believe is 30 times more powerful than vitamin E. Some studies have been said to show help for skin cancer and improve sun screen efficiency.
Finally this also has a great firming ingredient Organic Seaweed Extract: which is full of firming peptides and anti-oxidants.

Firstly I do like the fact that this hair spray comes witha protective cover over the button you push to spray as it means that no one can have tamperd with it in a shop. The plastic protective bit pulls off easily.
The push button is easy to push and doesn't need any effort. The spray comes out as a fine mist and on my hair is virtually invisible. I can't say I noticed any shine at all. It smells pleasant enugh like most other hair sprays but is not a nasty strong smell. It doesn't mell when dry on my hair.
It brushes out easily when I want to brush it out and doesn't feel heavy and weighty on my hair. You can feel it a bit when you touch it but it isn't like a solid rock type of feel.
I am not sure how different this one for coloured hair is from a normal hair spray but it is meant to protect coloured hair from sun fading as it has a UV filter but that is hard to assess really.

This is a nice natural body wash that smells lovely and lathers well. It isn't full of preservatives and chemicals so it is really gentle on my skin. I have sensitive skin and many baths products irritate it and cause me to have itchy red skin.
I have never had any problems after using any Faith in Nature products and can highly recommend them.

When I first saw how small this little bottle was I was very skeptical. It is a powder so that does make the size a better option as powder goes much further.
A very small amount of this powder amazingly does really give a great hold and lift of my short hair. It may be aimed t mn but I love how this lifts my hair giving it body and a nice style. You really only need the smallest amount for each side.
It brushes out at the end of the day having lasted all day and the next day my hair feels as soft as it was before I used the product.
It isn't a bad price either as it lasts quite well using just a small amount each use.
