Hope's TESTING Decleor Hydra Floral Light Cream.

Wow wee, not always a fan of light creams when i love to use a good face oil but this maybe the product to transform my thinking. Hydra floral d'hydratation formula works a treat, drawing the water in the skin to the surface and discovering softer more radiant textures in only a few days. Cream is soft and has a mild but luxurious smell, the glass jar is tactile and cold while the lid releases easily. Satisfying to open and even more satisfying on the face! I challenge any brand to make a cream that makes you feel like you have luxury on your skin. FAB product!! OOOh one to remember for popping on, on holiday after a day covered in sun lotion and protection. 

I think this brand is now happily on my radar and i am excited to try out other products.

Ingredients include
Wild Pansy Extract, Samphire Extract, Moringa Oleifera Microproteins and Sunflower Extract.

This week Hope's testing ...... Peppermint lip balm by The Visionary Soap Company

Being a massive lover of peppermint, the smell that takes me back to the souks in Marrakech, I was excited to be introduced to vegan brand The Visionary Soap Company. 

Totally fair-trade, organic and with sustainable ethics, it was an instant triumph. Super smell not too much, nice and smooth with a little shine and packaged in a green glass jar and made with fair-trade certified shear butter from Ghana. Small and compact and great for recovering lips after this super cold weather!! Popped in my make up bag for this week :) 

And priced at just £3.45 its the perfect gift for a friend.
