Kind Natured - The New Naturals

Kind Natured - The New Naturals
Kind Natured is a brand that believes in keeping it natural, the feel good formulations stick to a carefully edited list of non-toxic, eco-friendly and thoughtfully selected plant extracts to deliver a therapeutic pampering exercise and a totally guilt free one at that.

I have been using some products from the new tropically inspired Kind Nature Bodycare range Shea and Macadamia plus Coconut and Monoi and basically they smells absolutely blooming amazing! Described as being delicately scented, these products are designed to leave your skin and body feeling absolutely amazing from touch to scent.

The first item is the Deeply Nourishing Shea and Macadamia Creamy Body Scrub which is for very dry skin. A creamy and rich exfoliant which uses crush olive seeds to renew even the scaliest of skin, so there is hope for my lizard calves yet.  On the skin, the crushed seeds do a really great job at removing the dead and dry skin without being too overly abrasive and the scent is just really lovely.  Priced at just £4.99 for a 200ml tube, this is very much value for money.

In the same Shea and Macadamia scent is a Deeply Nourishing Body Lotion and again the scent is just fantastic. The use of both Shea Butter and Macadamia Nut Oil are absolute heaven for dry and parched skin as they deeply moisturise, nourish and hydrate. A 250ml tube is priced at £5.99.

If Coconut is a scent for you then the Kind Natured have products for you.  The two products I have been using is a body lotion and a hand cream.

The Coconut and Monoi Hand cream is infused with Shea, Grapeseed Oil and Coconut Oil to keep your cuticles nourished and your hands soft, smooth and hydrated.  What I love about this hand cream aside from the smell is that the formula is non-greasy when applied and it absorbs relatively quickly.  A 100ml tube costs just £4.99.

The Moistuising Body Lotion which is also Coconut and Monoi has the same scent as the hand cream.  As a cream it is really lightweight, non-greasy and once it sinks in it leaves behind velvety soft and smooth skin to the touch and again scented delightfully.  A 250ml tube is priced at £5.99.

The Kind Natured brand has a plethora of products available in Boots - here you will find Shampoos, Conditioners, lip-balms, sugar scrubs, body washes and bath soaks in an array of scents, so if the two I have shared with you are not your thing, then there is plenty of other choices to be had.

You Beauty Box Collaboration with Feelunique

For the month of December You Beauty have collaborated with Feelunique to bring forward a Party Prep box. The products to choose from this month ranged from the affordable to the niche with everything in between. 

You Beauty Box Collaboration with Feelunique
For once, I found it really hard to decide what I wanted to try because the list to choose from contained some of my absolute favourite products such as Jurliques Rosewater Balancing Mist. However, I decided to select three products I had not tried but have looked at on FeelUnique quite a few times.

The December Treats in the box there is a 15% off code which always comes in handy and as ive got some things on my basket, I may be checking out sooner rather than later. The next item is a Narciso EDT sample and it is described as being a mixture of elegance of woods meets the delicate femininity of a white flowers bouquet.

It is quite a musky floral with a hint of a woody note fragrance which I liked on first spritz, im just not too sure it is for me.

The first item to go into my box comes from The Vintage Cosmetics Company in the form of a Powder Brush and something you can never have too many of and something I needed for my work makeup brush set.

Described as being a multipurpose brush, with its super soft, synthetic bristles helps to apply your chosen coverage, whether that be foundation, powder, or a touch of bronze, it’s sure to leave you with a flawless natural canvass. This brush has an RRP £16.

Moa Fortifying Green Bath Potion - This is a product I have been wanting to try for ages, so I was delighted to see it on my shortlist of choices. Described as being a single ‘shot’ of award winning Fortifying Bath Potion.

Foreo Night Cleanser - I have the day cleanser so am excited to try the evening version. Described as being a product which detoxifies and soothes, the night cleanser melts from a gel formula into velvety milk fused with the power of meteorite for gentle deep cleansing that removes impurities, makeup and pollutants with precision.
