The second product from Temple Spa is a recently launched product in the form of an Eau de Toilette. My Essence is described as being inspired by the warmth and vibrancy of the Mediterranean.

As a fragrance, I was expecting to find something that was more akin to the scent of a spa, but that wasn’t what I got at all. 

This fragrance has some beautiful notes which includes the zesty top notes of bergamot & petitgrain, blooms which opened the fragrance with quite the zing and one you immediately notice, then as it begins to settle, the heart of jasmine, neroli & rose absolute comes to life to give this fragrance the most wonderful rich floral aroma whilst not totally dismissing the citrus notes. Finally, it rests on a base of cedarwood and amber which are warm, rich, comforting and add depth to the fragrance. 

On the skin and clothes, the longevity surprised me because I wasn’t expecting it to be long lasting at all, but it does give you at least 6 hours wear time before the need to re-apply. Impressive for fragrances these days - though of course it does depend on how the fragrance sits with your own skin oils.  Priced at just £45 for 50ml here, it is a scent with a difference and definitely not one you would expect!

RITUALS THE RITUAL OF JING CALMING RITUAL

Did you know September was self-care month? It is a time to remind us that taking care of ourselves, first and foremost, is not just something we do when we find the time, but it is essential. I am a huge fan of Self-care Sunday, something I picked up on via Instagram a good few months ago and it is something I have managed to stick to for 90% of the time. Self-care isn’t just about finding an hour to wash your hair, try a mask or just have some time out, important though all of those things are. It should be something that becomes as much of your routine as that morning shower or that first cup of coffee for the day ahead.

With that in mind, I was kindly gifted a voucher for use on Beauty Expert and one product really jumped out at me and it comes from Rituals with The Rituals of Jing Calming Ritual*. Described as being the ultimate pampering evening in, this collection is packed full of absolutely everything you need for a little bit of self-indulgence after a challenging day, week, month or even just because you want too. 

The Rituals The Ritual of Jing Calming Ritual bundle features products that are designed to be used together to really make that calming ritual worthwhile. The four products are a shower gel, body scrub, body cream and a candle and they are packaged inside an opulent white box, complete with gold-toned lettering and a green ribbon, which really makes it look exquisite and for just £29.90, it would make a fabulous gift, so I have in fact ordered two more for a couple of friends of mine who just need a thoughtful gift.

The Set Contains:

The Ritual of Jing Foaming Shower Gel (200ml) - Described as being the product to help restore tranquillity whilst your skin experiences a deep, thorough cleanse with this shower gel. Said to have been inspired by the ancient Chinese concept of Jing, this shower gel is formulated with a soothing scents of sacred Lotus and Jujube which help to provide sanctuary after a hectic day. On contact with water, the gentle foam is not only designed to help nourish the skin with soothing botanical extracts but it is also there to help you to take a moment out of your day and think of nothing. 

The Ritual of Jing Body Scrub (125ml) - I adore this scrub as I do all Rituals products, it is gentle on the skin but does an amazing job at removing dead skin cells, dirt and other impurities from the skin, all without being overly abrasive and scratchy. Using ultra-find Bamboo particles, which I prefer to have an exfoliant over sugar and walnut. Again, this scrub is very lightly scented with the same Sacred Lotus and Jujube as the shower gel, so it leave the skin with its floral fragrance.

The Ritual of Dao Candle (290g) - The description of this candle alone is enough to make you want to shut the world out and enjoy it

"Encourage a tranquil, refreshing atmosphere with the cocktail of scents within the candle. Once lit, watch the flame dance joyfully as notes of opulent White Lotus are released, reminding you that challenging times can often lead to hopeful new beginnings".

Using Lotus Flowers which are renowned for blossoming in muddy water, yet still thrives as a symbol of spiritual growth and purity in the Far East. The come the alluring scents of Yi Yi Ren, derived from China and has been favoured in Chinese medicine for centuries, it offers a sweet, smooth aroma works well with the White Lotus. It is beautifully floral without being overly sweet and it lingers for a really long time. To finish it off, this candle is packaged in glass and has a burn time of up to 50 Hours.

The Ritual of Jing Body Cream (70ml) - As the candle is burning, the time to finish off the calming ritual comes with the body cream and at this point, it is time to sit back, take time out and enjoy. 

The cream is, as with the rest of the product within this range, enriched with Jujube Extract, and it works to condition and nourish lacklustre skin to leave it feeling silky-smooth. The addition of the Sacred Lotus, bring with it a really lovely floral fragrance and again, it lingers on the skin with this cream. The cream itself is very rich but absorbs really quickly without leaving a greasy film on the skins surface, intensely nourishing, what I like about the cream is that leaves my skin feeling moisturised and looking hydrated, particular on my shins, which often feel dry to the touch. 

Putting all of these four products together, not only have Rituals given you the opportunity to switch off and enjoy them but it is almost like having a spa treatment at home. A wonderful experience and the products are just delightful.

You can find the Rituals of Jing Calming Ritual right here for just £29.90* with Beauty Expert and it is a fantastic price for all four products!
