After I tweeted out about wanting to start a Blogger Collaboration for a Secret Box Swap, I recently teamed up with the lovely Rachel from thebeautyisabeast.com, to collaborate on a Pamper Night Box. A budget of £20 pounds was set and our boxes needed to include at least 5 items that we could use for a Pamper Night.

Superdrug Honey and Almond Foot Pack
Garnier Pure Charcoal Black Tissue Mask
Palmers Manuka Flower Honey Protein Pack
Superdrug Naturally Radiant Hot Cloth Cleanser
Bomb Cosmetics Cotton Candy Bath Bomb
Nip and Fab Glycolic Cleansing Pads
Barry M Nail Paint in Peanut Butter

I would like to thank Rachel for taking the time to prepare such a lovely box for me!

 When it comes to my haircare routine, I'm always swapping and changing the products I use. I love to try out new products and new ranges that brands bring out, and when ECO Cosmetics reached out to me and asked if I would be interested in trying out a couple of new products from their hair styling range, I couldn't say no!
Eco Cosmetics Natural Hair Products
German-based brand Eco Cosmetics has launched its hair styling range, fully natural and organic, containing ingredients like Goji Berries and Pomegranate, a perfect combination for nourishing the hair whilst boosting the appearance, volume and shine. The range is certified by Ecocert, contains organic ingredients and is cruelty-free.

"This styling foam gives your hair volume and hold. No more frizz, even in damp weather! Enriched with goji berries*, it provides strength and protection all day long. It makes styling easy and leaves your hair feeling silky smooth, shiny and full of body. Precious pomegranate extracts* protect the skin and hair from drying out. Hair stays smooth and supple even after repeated use."

"Nourishes your hair and protects it from drying out. Enriched with goji berries*, it provides strength and protection all day long. Hair feels silky smooth, shiny and full of body. Precious pomegranate extracts* protect the scalp and hair from drying out."

After trialling these two haircare products from ECO Cosmetics over the last month, I have to say I was quite impressed. I don't really tend to use hair sprays or mousses in my usual day-to-day haircare, but the Hair Mousse from ECO Cosmetics in particular was a great addition to my haircare routine. 

The mousse itself was very lightweight, and not at all sticky, so it didn't weigh down my hair at all. The natural ingredients packed into the products helped my hair to maintain a healthy shine and appearance, adding some volume and I also found that my hair was less frizzy after washing and styling.

The hairspray was unlike any other hairspray I have used before. If I was to use a hairspray, it would most probably be in an aerosol sort of can, however this hair spray from ECO Cosmetics is an actual spray like consistency, similar to a facial mist, not something I was expecting or used to at all. However, when using the hair spray after styling my hair, I found that my hair was still in very good, healthy condition, and not looking dry and crispy-like some hair sprays can do to your hair.

Have you tried ECO Cosmetics before? What are your favourite haircare products?

As part of my healthy eating regime, I'm hoping that I will find enough time each morning to get myself a healthy and filling breakfast, that'll make me feel energised and ready for the day ahead of me. In today's post, I wanted to share with you my current go-to breakfast and what ingredients I use to make it, that keep me fuelled into lunchtime. All you need is a few ingredients and about 5 minutes of your time in the morning, and you can also treat yourself to this super tasty breakfast porridge!

After receiving one of the huge Christmas gift sets way back in 2014, 2015 was the year that I really discovered Soap and Glory as a brand and started to try and test out the beauty products they had to offer, and if I'm honest, and ever since I have fallen in love with the brand 100%!
Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub
Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub
"Soap & Glory’s cult-classic Sugar Crush Body fuses freshly-squeezed sweet lime, sparkling lemons, sweet vanilla musk and almond oil, with sea salt, smashed brown sugar, glycerin and macadamia oils to leave your skin feeling smooth, supple, and sexy. Miraculous on dry legs, elbows (really – all over), it’s energising, exhilarating, amazing!"

The Sugar Crush range that Soap and Glory has to offer is potentially my favourite scent. With the rich, fresh and zingy citrus fragrance, topped off with a hint of sweet sugary goodness, what's not to love? The Sugar Crush Body Scrub being my all time favourite body product, the perfect pamper bath time essential and my go-to exfoliating scrub for when I have dry patches, especially on my arms or legs. 

The scrub feels very nourishing and luxurious once applied to wet skin, enriched with Macadamia and Almond Oil, this helps to leave your skin feeling refreshed and moisturised. I tend use body scrubs all year round but especially over the winter months when my skin is super dry from the cold, harsh weather. I find the scrub gentle enough to be used all over the body, especially on any dry skin patches, around 2 or 3 times a week and if teamed up with the Sugar Crush Body Buttercream, the delicious fruity fresh scent will linger on your skin for days! 

Have you tried any of the Sugar Crush products?  What's your favourite product from Soap & Glory?
