Slendertoxtea || Slender Shake (*) ...

Slendertoxtea kindly sent this Slender Shake to me when I requested it after being part of the #bhtwitterparty hosted by The Bloggers Hub.

As I am not a tea drinker, I was very happy to see that they offered other products as well - A shake and Coffee variations.

This shake is made from natural and organic ingredients -

Acai Berry, Soy Bean Germ Extract, Rice Delivered Extract, Ceramide Extract, Coenzyme q10, Low Kcal Sweetener, Hyaluronic Acid, Lactose Milk Sugar, Condensed Milk Powder.

The shake they sent me was the 14 day shake meal replacement (80g). It came with a 5g scoop to measure the amount to mix with water or milk (100-150ml).
I opted for milk as I thought it could also add to my daily calcium intake plus I love milk shakes.
That 100-150ml of shake is around 30kcal and I generally had it for my breakfast.
It was super fast, easy to make and tasted really good.

For the first few days I didn't notice much of a difference in how full I felt afterwards, but after the 3-4th day I started feeling fuller for longer in the morning after drinking my shake.
I was really impressed with how it kept my energy levels up.
I am one of those people who go downhill fast if I don't eat anything in the morning and this really helped me feel full up to lunch and sometimes beyond.
I found that this really helped me snack less as I just wasn't feeling as hungry.

I have lost 2lbs/0.6kg in weight but I'm not sure if it was due to this or the amount I have been going to the gym recently. I have also felt I look slimmer which is a definite plus.

This 14 day Slendershake costs £21.99 and the 28 day shake costs £36.99. 

If you want something that curbs your snacking, keeps your hunger to a minimum and keeps your energy up then this is for you!

I have looked on their website and found there are two variations of coffee which is definitely up my street and am considering buying one of them to try out soon - Slimming Coffee (£10) and 10 Day Detox Coffee (£8). They also have free UK delivery which is great and saves you a few pounds.

St. Kitts || Facial Toner (*) ...

I received this facial toner (*) from a company called St. Kitts Herbery. The produce herbal toiletries and chocolate. You can read all about how they started and grew into the company they are now here.

I have been using this toner for a few nights now and find it very refreshing to use. There is also a hydrating feel to it, I think this is due to the citrus & frankincense oil in it. It has a scent to it but not one that is overpowering, a citrusy clean scent.

Ingredients - Aqua, Boswellia carterii, Citrus aurantium dulcis peel oil, Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid & Limonene.

It comes in a metal bottle and a spray pump, which you're supposed to spray directly to the face after cleansing. I however found this to be too messy and I spray it onto a cotton pad and wipe my face. I find that this removes any make up that isn't already removed using a make up wipe and cleanser. 

It leaves my skin feeling moisturised, replenished and clean.

You can buy this toner for £9.95 in which you will get 100ml of product, I think this will last me a very long time as you only need 1-3 sprays per use.

I think this is a lot better than the toners you buy on the high street, as it has natural ingredients. It doesn't leave my skin feeling tight like I have with some other toners. I also love the fact the company is based in Cornwall.

Do take a look at what St. Kitts have to offer on their website.

Beauty Kitchen || Lip Balm Collection (*) ...

I got in contact with The Beauty Kitchen via The Bloggers Hub and they kindly sent me this Lip Balm Collection (*) to review on my blog.

'Freshly made in the UK with no parabens, no sulphates, no synthetic fragrance, no this, no that, no the other...'

I am one of those people who needs lip balm all of the time, there is always one in my handbag, near my desk or next to my bed. I love the fact these are made in the UK with natural ingredients.

This lip balm collection sells for £10 and they each come in a small metal tin; which I think is the perfect container as it is solid and you can't loose the lid. There are 3 scents in this set so I'm sure you can find one you love.

Firstly there's Refresh Me (blue) which is a crisp minty lip balm and isn't overpowering.

There's Love Me (red) which is a cinnamon lip balm, really unique and to me smells like Christmas.

And lastly there is Inspire me (yellow) which is a fresh citrus based balm, usually not one of my favourite scents but I do like this one, I will be giving this one to my boyfriend as he loves anything citrusy.

All in all a some amazing lip balms which moisturise your lips, don't feel greasy and have some lovely scents. I think these would make a great present for someone and also great to keep in your handbag.

Go check out the Beauty Kitchen as they have lots of other great products and do workshops where you can create your own beauty products.

Lush Face Mask || Cosmetic Catastrophe...

I think this has become my new favourite mask! 

I hinted that I wanted to try this and my best friend got it for me for Christmas!! 

It's called Catastrophe Cosmetic, and the name alone made me think it would be great for my skin as I wear make up everyday.

 The ingredients in it are; Calamine Powder, Talc, Irish Moss Gel. Blueberries, Glycerine, Almond Oil, Rose Absolute, Chamomile Blue Oil, Sweet Wild Orange Oil, Limonene, Alpha Isomethyl Ionone & Perfume. 

I know that blueberries have a lot of antioxidants in and chamomile is very calming so I knew this mask would be great for my blemish prone, oily skin. 

I have been using this once a week this month and I absolutely love it. 

I apply it in the evening after I have taken my make up off.

Once it's been on my face for around 10-15 minutes and dries to a powdery consistency, it is very easy to wash off (the blueberries start falling off after around 5 minutes). 

It leaves my skin super soft and slightly powdery feeling, I can also feel that it has an instant calming effect on any breakouts or redness I have going on.

Some people don't like the powdery feeling but I love it as my face gets pretty oily in my t-zone and I do like my face to feel normal once in a while.

Overall definitely one of the best face masks I have used in a long time and am going to get more of these in the future!

Which Lush Face Masks have you tried? Any that you suggest for me? 

Hope you enjoyed my post!
