AD..A gift that will melt your heart

AD. All products in this post have been gifted to me, I am not paid for this, however all opinions are my own. 

We've all had that moment when we don't have much to do so we end up scrolling through social media, lets face it we've all been there. There is so much controversy over social media. Is it good? Is it healthy? Should we stop doing it? But here we are still using it and I love it. The likelihood is you just found this post via social media. But this post isn't about social media its about discovering a small business I 100% support. 

So a little while ago I stumbled across a young lady on twitter who was in search for bloggers to test out her products for her new company. Her company is called Essential Creation Sensations and she makes homemade wax melts. I messaged her to find out what she would be looking for in a blogger and we ended up here. She was kind enough to say she would send me some of her wax melts to test out. I couldn't be more excited for them to arrive. She didn't ask me to write this post but I love them so much I wanted to share them with you. 

The package...

When they did arrive I was over the moon with the generosity of the package. She sent me a beautiful package of six different scents of wax melts that she offers. The package also included a lovely thank you card and her business card. 

The melts...

Pink Heart- Flower Explosion (Like Flower Bomb)

This one smells as beautiful as it looks. It is this gorgeous pink heart that is inspired by flower bomb. It is the perfect scent for all you girly girls out there as it is super floral. 

White Heart- Light blue by D&G inspired

This one is one of my favourites. Its scent is so delicate like the fragrance and I think it would smell amazing in a bathroom. Again in the heart shape it is just so sweet. 

Paw prints- Popcorn scent 

This one is for all the sweet lovers out there. It is super sweet and creamy. The design of the paw prints is super cute and the scent is perfect. Anyone with a sweet tooth this is yours. 

Purple Heart- Black Opium Inspired

Wow the colour, the scent its all perfect. I absolutely adore this one and again very much aimed at the girly girls. 

Blue Star- Sauvage by Dior Inspired 

This smells just like the mens fragrance and if you love that manly smell, there is not doubt you will adore this. Also how cute is it being a star. 

Removal-

Once the scent is gone you will want to remove the wax from your melter. I do this by melting it and then using cotton pads to soak it up. I then dispose of them and use a clean one to wipe round the melter. It's then ready to put your next one in. 

I love sharing sharing products that I love with you guys so you can love them too.

Discovering Pixie Skincare

So I have been a dedicated Neal's Yard Remedies user for over 5 years now and don't get me wrong I am still deeply in love with it, but there's always time to try something new. I have seen Pixi all over instagram for so long and always loved the look of it. The products are eye catching and sound absolutely incredible. So when a good friend of mine Leanne told me how she had been using them and that they were on introductory price in boots, I thought it was time to take the plunge.

I wanted to buy products that would work as a full skincare routine for me. As I had ran out of all my current skincare. For first impressions I will say Pixi do have a lot to offer products wise. But with all skincare its about what you want from your skin, you cant just buy and hope it does what you want it to. You need to know your skin concerns. 

I went for three products that I thought would work with my skin. I don't have many concerns and my skin is pretty normal. I get a few breakouts here and there but overall I am happy with my skin. Having said that if you asked me that a few years back I hated my skin. I was breakout after breakout, my skin wasn't clear and I just didn't have that "glow". Now I am in much more of a happy place with my skin. Whether that's due to extremely hard work caring for my skin and giving it products it needs, or using Neal's yard remedies. It could even be just down to the fact that now I can safely say I am a more confident person. I am in an extremely happy relationship, I'm a healthier version of myself and I'm not only physically strong but now mentally. All of these could be factors. But enough about my skin and me, lets get down to the products. 

With any skincare we start with cleanse. I picked up the beautiful Double Cleanse. Now I am use to using oils on my skin, I went through a phase of using coconut oil to wash my face (I loved it) till my tub ran out. Double Cleanse has two cleansers. The first one being a solid cleansing oil. This is truly beautiful. You only need a small amount rubbed into your fingers until it melts. You can then apply this to your skin to break down any dirt, makeup or even sunscreen. This has then prepped you for step two, which is a cleansing cream. This is soft, creamy and luxurious. It applies to the skin effortlessly. This step is to cleanse the skin you have just broke down any impurities on and then condition it. Leaving you with the softest feeling skin. 

Once your skin is all cleansed and feeling incredibly soft, its time for a toner. I chose the Glow Tonic. Now anyone who has heard of Pixi has most likely heard of this product, if you haven't where have you been? This was the first ever product I saw all over the Internet from Pixi. So many people raving about it but I never took the plunge. Now I wonder why I waited so long. This is only what I can describe as the dream product. As with all pixie products the packaging is flawless. This is a 5% glycolic acid exfoliating toner. This helps to exfoliate and purifies the skin while also encouraging new cell renewal. 5% is quite low but you must be careful when using this if you have sensitive skin, if you do Pixi have other toners that will work for you. I adore the way this leaves my skin feeling. The only way I can describe it is fresh. 

After I have got rid of the day and toned my skin I want to moisturise. Which is where Hydrating Milky Mist comes in. When I went into boots they didn't actually have any cream moisturisers in as they had sold out. But I loved the look of this mist and honestly I am so glad I purchased this. It smells divine and it leaves my skin feeling hydrated and ready to take on the day. It is a very light mist with hyaluronic acid to plump the skin. This will be the perfect product in the summer when your skin just needs that burst of moisture. 

Have any of you tried Pixi? If so let me know what you love.
