Orchard View Naturals Capsule Collection; review + photos.

Orchard View Naturals is a small independent business based in Shepton Beauchamp, Somerset, and ran by Lucy Stevens MFHT (Member of The Federation of Holistic Therapists).

Today I'd like to share my thought on their Capsule Collection, a bundle of five facial oils to help improve an array of skin types and problems. Maybe people have given fabulous feedback and excellent reviews, and I am no exception!! Of course, each of them smell simply divine and leave the skin feeling supple and soft-as-a-feather. A little of these potent oils will go a long way, so you can be sure that this collection will last you a good while.

Please note that a Patch Test is suggested 24 hours before use (just as you'd test a hair colourant), especially if you have sensitive skin.

My delivery arrived safely packaged and beautifully wrapped (it was so pretty that I photographed it after every stage of unwrapping!!). In the pack are five vials of essential facial oils; Rose Geranium, Orange Blossom, Triple Rose, Tea Tree, and Infused Marigold. Also included are various leaflets and information containing everything that one could possibly need to know about the oils, the business, and directions for use.

Sixteen skin types are listed in a helpful guidance leaflet, all of which can be helped by one or more of these five essential oils. Well-known skin types such as dry, sensitive, combination, and normal skin can all benefit from them, but they can also improve problems such as dullness, acne, large pores, and sun damage. "Listen to your skin" and use the simple guide to help use the correct oils when required.

My first choice was the Rose Geranium Facial Oil, as it's recommended for use on combination skin, like mine. I instantly fell in love with the pungent exotic aroma, it's so refreshing and uplifting. After use, my skin felt softer and smoother. Shine was instantly banished and replaced with a healthy luminous glow.

Another personal favorite is the zingy, invigorating scent of the Orange Blossom Facial Oil. It helps to boost the skin's moisture levels, as well as having the ability to improve the condition of aging skin, large pores, and sun damage, and it's fragrance is bound to lighten your mood on even the dullest of days.
The freshly-fragranced Triple Rose Facial Oil is recommended for use on dry, dehydrated, and dull skin to provide intense hydration. It leaves the skin feeling deeply nourished and looking healthier.
Tea Tree oil is renowned for it's impressive array of benefits to the skin, and OV Naturals suggest it for use on ten of the sixteen listed skin types. It seems to be something of a miracle-product.
The Infused Marigold Oil can also be used to treat a range of dilemmas. It too is recommended for use on ten of the sixteen listed skin types, including sensitive skin, which can be hard to treat correctly.
Please remember that a Patch Test is recommended 24 hours before use when using products on sensitive skin.

Not only do OV Naturals care for the body and soul, but they are also passionate about protecting our planet. All of the products are 100% natural and 99.5% organic, and everything is cruelty-free. Caring for the environment is important to OV Naturals, so all packaging and paper is recycled and locally sourced where possible, and glass bottles used are recyclable, which is bound to help put your mind at ease.

Needless to say, I've thoroughly enjoyed using my Orchard View Naturals Capsule Collection. To get yours and for information on more products and services from OV Naturals, including massages and gift vouchers, visit www.OVnaturals.co.uk or call 01460 240234.

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).
