Angela Langford; Award-winning natural skincare handmade in Somerset.

Source: Angela Langford.
   Today I’d like to share some fantastic products from Angela Langford skincare. Everything is handmade in Somerset and completely natural (and organic, where possible), and nothing is tested on animals. Angela’s straightforward and simple approach to skincare makes a refreshing change from the scientific terminology and complex ingredients listed on more commercial brands.
   From awakening eye creams to luxurious body butters, Angela Langford’s extensive, award-winning range contains countless products to pamper you from head-to-toe for both men and women. If you’re feeling spoilt for choice, why not order your free sample pack? With a little help from a simple questionnaire, Angela handpicks generously-sized product samples for your skin’s particular needs for you to try before you buy (mine is tailored to my combination skin type). All you pay is P&P! Visit the “Free Sample Pack” section of her website for more information. Don’t forget to check out the amazing Special Offers, too!

    First of all, I’d like to share Angela’s latest release. Her new eye treatment, Angel Eyes, has taken over a year to perfect. This gentle oil contains caring ingredients such as cooling cucumber to hydrate the delicate eye area and improve the appearance of dreaded dark circles (a must-have for the upcoming Party Season), and Argan oil to strengthen the skin’s elasticity. It also contains Rosehip and Thistle oil to nourish, heal, strengthen, and boost the skin’s Omega 6 and Vitamin E levels. Of course, everything in this little wonder-product is 100% natural. A little goes a long way – simply apply a touch morning and night with the easy-to-use roller-ball applicator. You can also use a touch whenever the eyes feel tired for a quick pick-me-up!

look no further than Angela Langford’s Bloom & Glow Face Oil. The idea of putting oil on the skin may worry some, but this concentrated formula is absorbed quickly without leaving and greasy residue (it actually gave my skin a perfectly matte finish!). This mild and powerful product is packed full of vitamins, antioxidants and fatty acids that help to smooth the skin restore radiance as well as balance and protect. It even has a beautiful bright hue and a wonderful uplifting scent!
   Freshen Up is one of my favourite products. Packaged in a handy spray bottle, this toner contains a caring concoction of revitalising ingredients to prepare your skin for the day. I love to spritz a little on my face when my skin needs a refreshing boost – it feels so cooling and energizing! The secret to the ultra-fresh feeling is a combination of hydrating flower waters including Rose, Geranium and Neroli. Many commercial toners contain alcohol which can leave the skin feeling tight, dry, and uncomfortable, but Angela’s is alcohol-free. Plus, this one can be used to set your make up, too! The spray bottle allows quick and easy application of the perfect amount of product.

If you have problems with pores, Angela’s Perfect Pores Serum could be your skin’s saviour. It contains Rose Petals, Cypress, Juniper, and Lemongrass, which are not only pore-perfecting, but also help to keep blackheads at bay. Angela has also infused vitamins, antioxidants, and Kiwi and Rosehip oils to repair and protect whilst battling signs of ageing, and Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate and plump the skin. Many serums are heavy and oily, but this all-natural one is lightweight and quickly absorbed, and has a fresh, clean and natural scent!
   We all know that cleansing is an important part of any skincare routine, and Angela Langford’s Sweet Cheeks Face Wash also balances the skin and helps to restore radiance. It’s non-foaming and gentle enough to use daily, so it’s perfect for incorporating into your regular routine. It contains fresh and fruity Papaya which cares for dry areas and stabilises oily skin, and Jojoba oil to remove grime and banish blackheads. It also contains Rose, which not only smells lovely and calms the skin, but it can also help to keep pores unclogged with regular use. Use day and night to leave the skin looking and feeling clean, fresh, and healthy (and smelling great!). Although this natural product is gentle enough to use regularly, Angela does recommend that you first carry out a patch test if you have sensitive skin, just to be on the safe side.

Bramley; Nature-inspired Somerset skincare; my thoughts + photos!!

   We all like to keep on the look-out for local produce, but not many of us think beyond what we eat. There are many toiletries and beauty products available that are produced right on our doorsteps.
   Hand made in Somerset, the Bramley range consists of high-quality nature-inspired delights to pamper you from head-to-toe. The mastermind behind these indulgent treats is Chloë Luxton. She’s no stranger to developing bath and body products, and she’s poured her knowledge and experience into perfecting the Bramley range. The products have a strong connection with nature, from containing the finest essential oils and natural botanicals on the inside, to the eco-friendly packaging and pretty floral labels on the outside.

 On the Bramley website you will find a wide range of single products, as well as gift setstravel-sized miniatureswash bags, and even an all-natural fragranced candle scented with uplifting rose and spearmint. A personal favorite of mine has to be the hand cream. It left my hands feeling irresistibly soft and silky smooth, and the zingy grapefruit fragrance is like a burst of sunshine to the senses. It’s the perfect product to follow Bramely’s hand wash, which smells sublime as well as having important antibacterial properties. You’ll also find a range of products to cleanse and indulge the body. A relaxing bath with Bramley’s sweet orange and lavender bubble bath with a sprinkling of lavender and geranium bath salts is sure to help you unwind. If you’re more of a “shower person”, don’t despair! The invigorating mandarin and lemongrass body wash is sure to keep everyone happy. After cleansing, treat yourself to the Bramley body lotion, developed to detoxify and hydrate the skin (tip: excess water will only dilute your moisturising product, so make sure the skin is not too wet before application).
   I’m also a fan of the hair care products. The cleansing shampoo’s rich rosemary and lemon-scented lather is sure to keep your hair squeaky-clean, and the balancing conditioner will keep your hair looking healthy and smelling fresh-as-a-daisy!

   It’s safe to say that I’m a lover of these little citrus-scented luxuries. The range was originally designed for the guests of The Beckford Arms, Wiltshire, but they are now available for us all to enjoy. To purchase and for more information visit www.bramleyproducts.co.uk.

Greenfibres; Organic Terry Cotton Wash Cloth & Muslin Face Cloth; review + photos!!

© Tuesday T. Bryan Photography
DO NOT USE IMAGES WITHOUT PERMISSION. Copyrighted material
Totnes in Devon has been home to “Eco Pioneers”, Greenfibres, since 1996. The business was founded with the aim to promote organic, natural, and traditional fabrics, and they are still producing high quality eco-friendly products to this day.

Caring for the environment is paramount to Greenfibres. They are a member of the FSB, a founding member of the Organic Trade Board, and a licensee of The Soil Association. Their passion for our planet is apparent in everything from their understated recycled packaging, to their divine environmentally-friendly produce.
Their values are somewhat heart-warming. The soft, delicate organic cotton is grown according to G.T.O.S (or “Global Organic Textile Standards”), and their produce is manufactured under fair and safe working conditions. Using products like these really does help to make a difference to the world and it’s inhabitants, benefiting not only your body, but also the environment and your peace-of-mind.

You can certainly feel the quality of the products. The soft-as-a-feather Organic Terry Cotton Wash Cloth not only feels divine on even the most sensitive of skin types, but it’s practical, too. It absorbs liquid well, and it’s kind to the delicate facial skin. After use, I just wring it out and pop it over a warm radiator to dry. I not only use mine to wash with, but I also soak it in hot water and hold it about four inches away from the face for a few minutes, letting the steam work it’s magic and cleanse deep into the pores. It’s great for giving your face a “deep cleaning session”, and it’s ever so relaxing.
The Organic Cotton Muslin Face Cloth is another handy item to keep in your wash bag. Muslin cloths can be used in various skin routines. I use mine to remove wet face masks, to wipe away excess facial cream, and to help work products into the skin. The unique texture of this versatile fabric also makes it ideal for using as a gentle “exfoliating cloth”.

There are endless products to choose from, I felt like a kid in a sweet show when picking mine! I really was spoilt for choice, but I finally opted for the Fresh Berry Blaster (which looks like a bowl of ice cream and smells just like Raspberry Ripple), a selection on little Bath Creamers and Mallows which turn your tub into a creamy, nourishing, sweetly-scented skin treatment, as well a pot of Piña Colada-scented Pout Polish Lip Scrub, and a bar of rather breath-taking and artistic-looking soap.

You can search for your nearest stockist by using the "Find a Retailer" option on the Bomb Cosmetics website (mine is only located five minutes from my house, lucky me!), or you can simply order online. You'll find all their produce on their website.
Why not start your day with the invigorating scent of the Pineapple Expressed Bath Blaster? It's sure to make you feel refreshed and wide awake. Or, to unwind after a stressful day's work, try the Lavender Bath Creamer. It's infused with lavender oil and rolled in dry lavender, perfect for a tranquil, relaxing bath to bring about calm (perfect for bedtime). If you fancy a sweet treat, immerse yourself in the delicious fragrance o­­­­f the Cherry Pie Bath Mallow - it's an indulgent delight minus the guilt and calories! It even looks like a little cup cake. A time when many of us feel we need to relax both the mind and body is after a gym

 session. The Lime Blossom And Lavender Brulee delivers an invigorating citrus scent and a refreshing bathing sensation, perfect for soothing the muscles and reviving the senses after a hard work out. Plus, one Bath Brulee can be used six times, so you needn't feel like reserving it for that "one special bath".


Of course, relaxing in a steaming hot bath isn't just for us ladies. And, Gents, Bomb Cosmetics have got you covered. ­­­­Check out the Man Grenade Blaster, which releases an explosive rush of black pepper and rosemary oil as it fizzes. Or, if you're more of a "shower man", your perfect purchase has to be the Reef Reviver Shower Soap. The solid shower soaps last ages, and this one is fragranced with masculine eucalyptus and stimulating spearmint.

Bomb Cosmetics are sure to make an impact when it comes to the design of their products. Expect serious eye-candy when browsing their bath time delights, especially the Soap Slices, which really are a sight to savor. I couldn't resit getting my hands on the stunning Adventures In Eden Soap, it's reminiscent of slices of fruit encased  in a block of jelly! Don't think that these luxury goodies will break the bank, though. All of the Bath Mallows are priced at £2.24, and the Bath Blaster prices peak at £2.29. Plus, almost all of the products are not for just one use. The Handmade Soap Slices last what seems like forever, and, as previously mentioned, the Bath Brulees can be used six times and only cost £3.49 each.

Other products from Bomb Cosmetics include Body Scrubs, Shower Gels, Hair care, Home Fragrances, Lip Care, Massage Bars... the list is endless. Be sure to head over to their website to see their full range.

Bomb Cosmetics; Locally produced, handmade, natural ingredients, and an extensive range of products, all of which nourish the body and uplift soul. Expect indulgence on a budget, without compromising on results. I'm impressed (and addicted).
