White Tea & Orange Blossom Facial Wash – £13.50 for 100ml

I really wanted to review this one as I’ve long since known about the health benefits and anti-oxidant qualities of white tea (Even more so than green tea)  Orange blossom is also a wonderful tonifier and despite not using a toner after using the wash – it wasn’t noticably in need of one.  Ingredients list (full list at the end) also contained neroli, rose and lavender essential oils – which have proven abilities to balance, hydrate and refresh and cleansing ingredients such as coconut and oat amino acids.    The application was lovely and smooth – it massaged in very nicely – felt easy on the skin and rinsed off quickly.  It also smelled wicked.  Buy exclusively online

Super Anti-Oxidant Serum – £17.50 for 30ml

Unlike most serums I’ve ever tried which are generally either a runny lotion or gel like consistency – this one was more like a facial oil.  Having known that upon requesting – I probably would have gone for something else as I have an oily t-zone.  However I was glad it was sent as a VERY little goes a long way (generally the case with natural beauty) and the application isn’t as oily as it could have been. It absorbs into the skin well – the carrier oils are peach kernel, sweet almond and rice bran so it’s nourishing right away from the moment you apply and the essential oils carried within get to work on your inner layers of skin.  Other key ingredients include Red Raspberry, CoQ10, Vitamin E and Green Tea Extract and is scented with rose and ylang yland – although both of those have their own beauty benefits!  I think for me I’d just prefer to know it was an oil application upfront.  The serum can be bought here.

Orchid Extract Radiance Moisturiser – £15.00 for 30ml

Okay now this one caught my eye so I had to try it as I felt I really must have radiant skin.  I don’t know what “radiant” skin looks like.  I don’t know if I have it or if I don’t.  But this is a darned good moisturiser regardless of whether you need radiance in your skin or not.  It comes out of the tube very nicely, not runny or too thick and has the right consistency for massaging into your skin.  The best part is how soft my skin feels afterwards!  I’m really pleased with this one as I’m an awful stickler for moisturisers – I find most too heavy, too sticky or take too long to soak in but this is perfect.  Dang that means I’m going to have to buy a full sized tube!  It can be used AM or PM so 30ml probably won’t last that long.  Contains Orchid extracts and fruit enzymes to stimulate skin regeneration, marine collagen to encourage hydration and plumpness and red raspberry (aren’t all raspberries red?), green tea extracts and the delicate rose and ylang ylang scent.  Available from Lisa’s website

Her other products include;

A Botanical Marine eye gel, Mandarin & Papaya cleansing cream, White Lotus Rejuvenating Serum, Calendula Extract Soothing Moisturiser and Pomegranate & Goji Berry Beauty Balm.  She also sells facial muslin cloths for £1.50 each and May Chang & Geranium Aromatherapy Candles.  That’s the range – something for everyone – she doesn’t go over the top and baffle the consumer with a hundred different products for this and that.  Each product is perfectly tailored for all skin types so there’s really no need!
