REVIEW: RITUALS GINKGO'S SECRET HAND BALM & MIRACLE SCRUB

It's winter time and that means dry, cracked and painful hands for many of us, including me. It usually takes me ages to find a hand cream that is not too greasy or too thin, which means that over the years I have build up a few favorites and dislikes. This time, I tried out the Ginseng & Ginko Biloba Miracle Scrub and the Ginseng & Ginkgo Biloba Ginkgo's Secret hand balm from Rituals. I usually love Rituals, so I was very curious about these two. Do I add these to my favorites or not?

BOOK - PRETTY HONEST BY SALI HUGHES

I was looking for a book with beauty essentials.. one that I could consider a bit of a Beauty Bible. The book Pretty Honest, was recommended by A Model Recommends (a model turned beauty guru on YouTube). I downloaded it on my iPad and was so surprised. This truly has the form of a Bible with its 413 pages ... But do I like what's inside??

THE ORIGINAL PAWPAW - LUCAS' PAPAW OINTMENT

 

 

 

I feel a trend coming! When I was flying to Brisbane (Australia) last year, this small red tube kept going around the airplane. One flight attendant put some on her lips, another one on her hands. I finally got a hold of it and was so surprised: Papaw? What the h*** is that? I went looking for the red tube when we arrived and brought home 2 tubes and a jar. Now that other brands have started duplicating this magical stuff, I decided to write about it: Lucas' Papaw Ointment.

 

Shoplog: The Beauty Bakery

 

The Beauty Bakery is a Dutch webshop run by a very funny and beautiful Dutch girl called Angel Raterman. The Beauty Bakery makes their products by hand and uses natural ingredients like sheabutter and almond oil. If you go on their website you will be overwhelmed by all the Bath Cupcakes, Lollipop Soap and tons of Whipped Body Butter. Besides this, the Beauty Bakery make great dupes of brands like LUSH and even Chanel. I tried out a sugar scrub, facial cleanser & facial cream. Want to know what they smell like? And if I like them?
