The best of British ♥

I was going through my natural and organic skincare products and realised that most of them were British brands.  So I decided to go with this theme.  Who wouldn't love anything made in Britain!




The newlywed Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.  I just love this couple♥

My lovely British skincare products I'm using now.  From left to right; Vaishaly Cleansing Balm, nude skincare hydrating water, Ren Glycolactic Skin Renewal Peel Mask, Ren Jojoba Micro Bead Purifying Facial Scrub, Neal's Yard White Tea Toning Eye Gel, Neal's Yard Frankincense Hydrating Cream.  Watch out for my review of these products, coming soon~~



The Wimbledon Tennis.  The only sport that I watch every year.

My mug of the moment.  Union Jack mug from Jack Wills.

I found this in a book shop and just had to buy it hahaha!

Liz Earle Eyebright

Liz Earle Eyebright Soothing eye lotion.

"A gentle herbal lotion to soothe and refresh tired, puffy eyes and remove light eye make-up. Naturally active ingredients include; the herb eyebright, witch hazel, aloe vera and cornflower to cool, soothe and revitalise tired eyes. Apply Eyebright to cotton wool pad to clean and wake up your eyes first thing. For a revitalising, soothing compress, soak 2 cotton wool pads in Eyebright and place over eyes and relax for 5-10 minutes. It is light, non-oily and suitable for contact lens wearers."

This is another great product that I'm using at the moment. It's actually my second bottle! I bought this in John Lewis Oxford Street London, but you can also buy it online at uk.lizearle.com.

It has a clear, watery liquid consistency like a toner so feels really light on your eye area. This is enough even for removing all my heavy eye make-up. My eyes feel very refreshed afterwards. I just love using this as a soothing eye treatment to relieve my red and tired eyes I get from wearing contact lenses all day. I highly recommend it!

Acai Berry





This is one of my favourite moisturisers at the moment. I'd tried out Kiehl's products years back, before I got really into natural beauty products. I knew that all the Kiehl's products contained some ingredients I wasn't fond of so when I walked pass their counter in a department store, I was surprised to find that they'd released a new line with 100% natural ingredients. The staff at the counter was very helpful and they were also doing special offers so I was quickly sold!

Kiehl's Acai Damage-correcting moisturizer claims to help repair the very early signs of aging caused by oxidative damage, giving you visibly renewed, smoother, more even-toned complexion.

When I first used it, I found the smell a little too strong for my liking, but most of the natural products I have used so far never smelt good. The texture felt quite thick and it didn't spread very well, but when applied to the skin, my face felt comfortable and matt afterwards. It also made my pores seem smaller and didn't make my normally oily skin greasy during the day.

What I like most about this product is that it makes my skin more even-toned, helping my foundation to look more fresh throughout the day.
