Mr Frosty Bath Creamer

At the London Blogger Secret Santa Meet, we were all given amazing goodie bags and in mine was this fabulous Mr Frosty Bath Creamer from Bomb Cosmetics which you can find HERE.  Now I am a HUGE fan of Bomb Cosmetics and their products are simply amazing and naturally I couldn't wait to chuck this into my bath and enjoy it.

Bomb Cosmetics tell you too "Drop Mr Frosty into a warm bath and watch him melt, softly giving up his Cocoa and Shea butters and Rose essential oils. With a warming, satisfying hot chocolate fragrance for cold winter nights".

Whenever I use something like this, I ensure there is a few inches of water in the bath and then placing the Bath Creamer into the warm water it begins to fizz instantly and run around your bath like someone on a sugar rush.  As it melts into the water it releases the Cocoa Butter and the Shea butter as well as the Rose Essential Oil which you can smell and it is totally divine.  Rose scented products rank highly in my favourite scents, so to use this Bath Creamer is a complete delight.  Once the Bath Creamer stops fizzing, it is time to get into your bath, relax and enjoy.

This Bath Creamer is full of lovely ingredients and I always like to look at what is something before I use it, it fascinated me for years and this particular product includes: 

• Cocoa Butter and Shea Butter - both know for their ability to moisturise the skin
• Rose Flower Oil - is great for toning the skin and also has moisturising properties
• Coconut Oil - the goodness within coconut oil and benefits for your skin is literally endless and it is something I always have in my kitchen cupboard and it leaves your skin feeling soft, smooth and incredibly moisturised to name but a few.

There are other ingredients included within this Bath Creamer which are listed on the Bomb Cosmetics website.

The water that you immerse yourself into feels really soft on the skin, that is the best way for me to describe it, the Cocoa Butter and Shea Butter are incedibly moisutirsing and I almost felt no need to add anything else to my skin because it is all there in the water. However with this cold weather, my skin is quite dry on my legs, so I did exfoliate, but then rather than use anything else, I used what was in my water and once out of the bath, my skin was soft and smooth to the touch and it smelt totally amazing.

Sometimes in these products there are bits which float about your bath, mainly to add some decoration and fun and the warning always is to rinse them away from the bath after use to avoid and prevent any staining.

All of the products from Bomb Cosmetics are formulated to be free from Parabens, or Paraben based preservatives.

Amie Skincare - Your Skins Best Friend

Amie has become a brand I am always excited to see and use. the name meaning friend in French, is a brand which is non-expensive, kind to skin and contains no nasties. My morning routine at the minute involves two Amie products - first there is Morning Clear which is a facial wash and then there is Morning Dew, a matte finish moisturiser.

Starting with Morning Clear which is in the pastel pink coloured tube, this product is pH-balanced and uses what are called harmonising natural actives such as:

• mayblossom and elderflower purify and decongest the skin, keeping oiliness in check and helping prevent spot formation. 
• Natural sugar moisturisers ensure skin is not stripped or dried out. 
• Cocoa seed butter nourishes and sweet almond oil softens. 
• Orange blossom and raspberry tone pores and refresh skin.

Putting all of these ingredients together it leaves your skin feeling fresh, properly washed and smooth to the touch. What I love about this product is the texture of the wash which is quite creamy and it lathers really well upon contact with water and the fruity smell it gives is wonderfully refreshing.

After showering and then further using a toner and cleanser, I moisturise and again with Amie. Morning Dew, which is contained within a pastel yellow coloured tube.

Morning Dew is described as being a "really light daily moisturiser that’s totally mineral oil-free and parabens-free" which I am sure will get the thumbs up from some bloggers. As you apply this to your skin, it is surprisingly quick to absorb itself and it leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth to the touch. When a product states that it will leave a matte finish what does it really mean? Well in the case of this moisturising cream I am told that "it gives skin all the hydration it needs while controlling shine and leaving a smooth, matte finish that’s a perfect base for make-up or facing the day or night ‘au naturel’" and having used it for the last few weeks I can almost certainly tell you that it does that.

As with the facial wash, this product also contains those harmonising natural actives and in this case they are:

• organic rosehip and bilberry nourish, 
• natural plant sugars hydrate 
• Vitamin E acts as an anti-oxidant protecting against sun damage and pollution. 
• Lemon Fruit Extract acts as an effective antiseptic 
• Orange Blossom is an excellent skin clarifying agent, helping to remove excess sebum and keep oily skin clear.

Again this smells really wonderful and it has one of those scents which lingers on your skin all day long. As someone who often suffers from an oily t-zone, I can confirm that it does indeed help remove excess sebum and keep oily skin clear, so much so that I haven't even opened the new pack of blotting pads I bought prior to use these two products.

Both of these products retail for £4.95 and they can be found in places like Waitrose or from their own website which you can find HERE
