Ren Clean Skincare X Ateh Jewel Glow Kit

One of my favourite brands, REN have collaborated with Dr Ateh Jewel to create a fabulous Glow Kit*

The Glow Kit features three of REN’s top products which are designed to give you that much wanted glowing skin.  I am a huge fan of three of these products and I love that they come packaged inside an exclusive recycled kraft bag, which is designed for future recyclability, too.

As well as the bag, the three products, which if bought as part of this kit, gives you a saving of 32%, so it is an absolute bargain at just £80* instead of £118 and anyone who spends over £65 will also get a free gift of the Ultimate Glow Trio, worth £25 and this gives you three products which are designed to give you a glowing, even, smooth complexion.

The contents of the Dr Ateh Jewel Glow Edit are:

• Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic 250ml - this is a gentle one that focuses mainly on Lactic Acid and it is suitable for even sensitive skins. Described as being a toner that provides a daily dose of clean bio-active extracts to help your skin get glowing. I have a full review of this Tonic here on my blog.
• Overnight Glow Dark Spot Sleeping Cream 50ml - targets only uneven pigmentation on all skin types and tones - without affecting or lightening your natural skin tone. made from 94% naturally derived ingredients works as we sleep, to target dark spots and re-energise your skin leaving it with a healthy glow. I have a full review of this cream here on my blog.
• Brightening Dark Circle Eye Cream - the newest product to launch and I for one am obsessed with, this cream is proven to visibly reduce dark circles after just 7 days of use. Not only is this a beautifully textured, award-winning eye cream, it can be used all over the eye area, without causing irritation to help brighten and reduce the look of puffiness. I have a full review of this cream here on my blog.

This is an incredible trio of products and if you are yet to delve into the world of REN, then this is a great kit to start with and one that is just fabulous value for money, but one that also features three incredible products which my skin absolutely loves. As a reminder, all orders over £65 will also receive that free Ultimate Glow Trio which is worth £25 too!

This lightweight serum is a product which lifts, tightens, smooths, fades dark circles and diminishes puffiness. This product is packed with Hyaluronic Acid, Omegas and Aloe Vera to cool eyes making it the perfect prep product for the rest of your eye look.

The second product out of the box is from Stila and it is the Suede Shade Liquid Eye Shadow. Within your box, you will either get the shade Nude Awakening which I have or the shade Sassy (4.5ml / RRP £24.00).

This Liquid Eye Shadow is said to offer a velvet-matte formula that can be worn alone or combined with something a little more sparkly. It uses a doe-footed applicator for easy use and as well as being weightless and long wearing, its matte formula features subtle iridescent pearls to prevent a flat appearance, adding a hidden lift while remaining velvety.

The third product is also from Stila and it is their Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner in Lionfish (0.28g / RRP £22.00). Said to be their best-selling shade and will suit all skin tones.

This eye liner which can also be used a smudged eyeshadow is a reddish-brown almost burgundy shade and it has a gold shimmer to give it quite the sheen. This eyeliner is always sharp and never needs sharpening because there is a sharpener in the lid.

The fourth product is from Bellapierre with their Waterproof Gel Eye Liner in Sapphire (1.8g / RRP £17.00).

If you prefer a coloured eyeliner, then this one should tick all the boxes. Described as being creamy, Waterproof eyeliner which glides on effortlessly, it is formulated with pure minerals, natural waxes, and antioxidants thus making them hypoallergenic and safe for all skin types. The colour, Sapphire is a beautiful and bold shade of blue.

The fifth product in this box also comes from Bellapierre with their TwistUP Brow Pencil in the shade Cocoa.

This ultra-slim, retractable brow pencil is designed to give maximum precision when filling in sparse brows such as my own. This double-ended pencil features the Cocoa Brown shade on one end and on the opposite is a spoolie which is perfect for grooming the brows beforehand and blending once the colour has been added. It has an oil-free formula, is noncomedogenic and delivers smudge-free pigmentation that looks natural.

The final product in the box comes from Stila again and it is their Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Beso (3ml / RRP £17.00). This is quite the amazing shade and is described as being perfect for women over 40. Beso As you can see is the brightest Red.

This full coverage and colour-rich matte finish has a weightless texture and offers long-lasting results. Said to be a lipstick that won’t bleed, feather or transfer for up to six hours, it is enriched with vitamin E and avocado oil. Its formula is designed to gently nourish and hydrate the lips.

Aldi Hotel Collection Lime, Basil and Mandarin EDP

I absolutely love fragrances, if you hadn't guessed and even though I have been working from home for over a year, and choosing a perfume to join my daily Zoom call is as much a decision now as it is in normal times. For me, a fragrance is chosen to reflect my mood rather than the season or the weather on most occasions, but what I absolutely love to do is try out new offerings and the latest addition to my collection comes from Aldi with their Hotel Collection - Lime, Basil and Mandarin EDP.

Alongside fragrances, Alid have quite the collection of health and beauty products which includes everything from skincare and haircare to makeup, bodycare and beauty tools.

This Hotel Collection Lime, Basil and Mandarin EDP fragrance name might be one that you have come across before with regards to Jo Malone and the absolute classic scent, but the Aldi version is at £5.99 much kinder to the bank balance being almost £90 cheaper.  From the outset they look and sound familiar, in fact they share almost identical notes, but for me, having worn a combination of the two for the last few weeks and then asking my hubs which one he prefers, they are very much different.

The fragrance which comes bottled in a rather luxe looking glass bottle with a minimalist label and it is really quite weighty, not what I was expecting for just £5.99. 

It opens with top notes of lime, mandarin, orange and bergamot and with it comes a bitter citrus scent as all the fruits come to life and it is as uplifting as it is surprising. As it settles, the heart notes of basil, lilac, iris and thyme really get behind the top notes and the lime, is the one for me which captures your attention as it mingles with the earthiness of the basil and thyme before the base notes of patchouli and vetiver which intensify that bitter citrus to create the most wonderful fragrance that is perfect for a Spring and Summer day. The different between it and Jo Malone? The opening notes are not as strong with this version and you don’t get an immediate hit of like until it settles on the skin. 

If Lime, Basil & Mandarin is not a scent you think you would love, thankfully there are other options to choose from, there is also the option of  Velvety Rose or Pomegranate, both of which, I am now wanting to try especially given that they are all retail for just £5.99. As with anything Aldi beauty related, you need to keep your eyes peeled because they go out of stock as quick as they come in to stock!
