AA Skincare Review- Lavender & Tea Tree Face Lotion

As you know from my previous AA Skincare review i'm totally loving their natural deodorant (If you missed that review you can check it out here). I'm back with another review of an AA Skincare product this time the Lavender & Tea Tree moisturising face lotion. 

Firstly I thought I'd talk about delivery because I didn't talk about it in the last AA Skincare review; one of the best things about AA Skincare is that they email you exactly the day and the time that they are going to deliver. For me that's a major selling point because the worst feeling is when a delivery man is banging on your door and your half dressed. A++ for delivery!
So the Lotion, because that's what we are here to talk about right? I've been using it for the past week and can honestly say it is one of my favourite face creams of all time. (No exaggeration) . Not only is it  naturally antiseptic but it's been keeping my spots at bay. Usually during autumn my face tends to get dry so using this moisturiser is very refreshing and the medicinal scent definitely clears your nose as well. The medicinal scent does wear off quite quickly which for me is great because I like to wear it for stepping out. AA Skincare also gave me a sample sachet of the accompanying gel wash, which I used to wash my face before putting on the moisturiser. I personally think the gel and the lotion are a match made in heaven and I can see myself purchasing the gel wash to accompany my lotion. 
AA Skincare is certainly become one of my favourite places for natural skincare products and there are so many other products i'm dying to try out such as their Seaweed and Aloe Eye Gel and Mint and Dead Sea Salt Mask. You can buy AA Skincare products from www.amphora-retail.com at a retail price of £6.96. Also AA Skincare were kind enough to give us a 20% discount code (just enter the code BLOG20) so make sure to get one now that it's on sale.Thank you for reading and  I'll see you in the next post. *This post is not sponsored by AA Skincare, although they did kindly send me the product to try. I'm sharing it with you because I genuinely think it's an awesome product.*

AA Skincare Review- My New Natural Deodorant

Your probably wondering why on earth would I review deodorant right? because deodorant is basically well...deodorant. For a while now i've been on the market for a new deodorant and not just any deodorant but a natural non-pore clogging one and that's just what AA Skincare's deodorant line is. 

AA Skincare has three deodorants in their line; Bergamot and Aloe, Grapefruit and Cedarwood and Lemongrass and Lavender. The deodorant that I currently am using is the Lemongrass and Lavender one. In all honesty the initial scent in the roll on isn't my particular cup of tea, it's slightly too strong on the Lemongrass side. However after applying it and leaving it to dry the scent dramatically reduces, which is great for people like me who don't like strong scents.
I did a little research and found that AA Skincare claim the deodorants have "daylong protection without any nasties". Although I have to admit I'm not sure what they are referring to when they talk about "nasties" (I can only assume they mean harmful chemicals) but I did decide to test out the first part of this statement, the daylong protection. Shamefully I'm going to say out aloud but...I sweat like a pig and with the current British weather getting warmer I was convinced the natural deodorant wasn't going to last an hour. Being the over the top person I am I decided to take a note and see how much protection I was getting (haha never thought I'd ever be measuring my sweat on my blog but oh well there's a first for everything). I'd say roughly within the first three hours I was pretty dry under my arms and gradually after about couple hours later i'd gradually get slightly stickier but nothing too crazy that couldn't be patted down. Overall I'm so far loving this deodorant not only because it is natural but because it works well for me, keeping me dry and odourless for quite a while. The main selling point for me is that one of the active ingredients is Aloe vera which  means it's ok to use just after shaving because it soothes the skin and cools it down. 

With that all being said, I hope this review was helpful and let me know what you think about natural products; does it matter to you personally to use natural products and do you try to use natural deodorant? If so leave a comment below letting me know all about it!  Remember you can buy your own one from www.amphora-retail.com at a retail price of £4.95. Oooh literally just checked their website and they are doing 20% off right now so if you want one I'd say grab it on sale right now whilst you can.  Thank you for reading and  I'll see you in the next post.

A Visit to Cadbury World.

When I was younger actually significantly younger, I had gone to Cadbury World, and I can honestly say that my love for chocolate must have stemmed from that experience. Ever since Cadbury had been bought by Kraft, I had been dying to go back and see the factory to see whether it has changed or not...and boy has it changed. 

In the past, Cadbury World had been known to be a place full of chocolaty freebees and the first time I had gone, I had eaten so much chocolate I was almost sick. This time the factory had changed so much that each person as you entered only got 3 bars of chocolate; crunchy, dairy milk (Sample size) and Wispa. I have never been so disappointed in my life because I had emptied my stomach prior in the hope that there would be so much chocolate I would actually be sick this time. (yeah gross I know). What disappointed me even more so was that the chocolate production side of the factory was closed and I didn't also get a chance to see how the chocolate was made... oh bummer.  

On the plus side, the 4D experience at the end was undoubtedly the highlight of the night (or in fact the only good bit). When the 4D experience ended after a measly three minutes, I really wanted to watch it again but its just one viewing per ticket. I don't really enjoy telling people about negative experiences hence why I'm keeping this short, but I doubt I would ever go again since it is not worth £15.44 ticket and the train travel from London to Birmingham. In summary, would I go back?... I think this will have to be a Nay!

Update: Sorry I had to repost this again, due to yet again playing around a bit too much with the coding of my blog and corrupting the original post.  Thank you for your patience, and I'll see you in the next post.
