Montagne Jeunesse - A Cruelty Free Beauty Essential - Giveaway

I am delighted to announce that I have teamed up with Montagne Jeunesse to give 30 of my readers an at home pampering experience with one of their masks. 

Most of you might have heard about or seen Montagne Jeunesse face masks as they are sold in all major pharmacies in Ireland and can also be found in Penneys Stores. I myself have been using their face masks since my teens. They have so many different types of masks available for all different skin types and I find them a real treat. 

The peel off masks are my personal favourite. I recently tried out the Black Seaweed peel-off mask and I loved it. It was really easy peasy to apply and after 15 minutes I peeled it off all in one go and my skin felt truly cleansed afterwards. The following week I tried out the Brazilian Mud Fabric mask. I've never tried a fabric mask before and looked a little like Leonardo DiCaprio in the film Man with the Iron mask but it smelled so nice fruity and gave my skin a real boost. 

Montagne Jeunesse has been crushing, pulping and juicing natural goodness into their cruelty free face masks for 25 years and are now available in over 80 countries worldwide. Costing less than €2 they really make the perfect affordable weekly treat. 

To win, simple click on the link **HERE** and fill out the form. 30 winners will be selected at random in one month and contacted by email. Good Luck! 

Love,

Sarah

Bumble Bliss - Natural Irish Skincare

I love natural and I love Irish, put the two together and you get a wonderful brand called Bumble Bliss. Síle McDonald the owner of Bumble Bliss is inspired by nature around her and by putting her studies of natural science to good use she has created some zingy, smelltastic natural products for us all to enjoy. She is based in Co Kilkenny and hand makes all her wonderful products at home on her farm sourcing ingredients locally. Love that!

You can check out her product range for yourself by visiting her website http://www.bumblebliss.ie/.

Some of my personal favourites are the Lavender and rose petal bath bomb (€3.50), Tea tree and eucalyptus soap (€4.50) and the Germanium hand balm for gardeners (€7.50).

The lavender essential oil in the bath bomb really sooths my worries away. The Tea tree and eucalypus soap leaves my hands feeling clean, fresh and moisturised. And even though I don’t have green fingers and haven’t done any garden work in a while the Germanium hand balm is perfect for me because the combination of beeswax and sweet almond oil really is a treat for my dry hands.

Sile also explains on her website why we should go natural and updates her blog on products she makes for her family and of course for her customers.

Bumble Bliss....Yes please! 

Love,

Sarah

Buy Irish Day 6: Pixy Natural Skincare

PIXY natural skincare have you covered this Christmas. Their range of products made  from natural ingredients include bath bombs, body oil, lip balm, cuticle balm, soap, bath salt and oils, shower mousse, foot scrubs and the list goes on and on! Having an Irish brand that offers variety is brilliant but it doesn't stop there. The entire range is hand made by local people in Mallow, Co Cork. That's what Love Irish, Buy Irish is all about this year. Supporting Irish business which in turn support the local community. 

I discovered Pixy not too long ago at the Pro Beauty Exhibition show in the RDS. I was attracted by the magical aroma that surrounded their stand and I also got to talk to a lovely lady who's name I believe was Eilish. Her excitement for the Pixy brand was so obvious that it in turn made me excited to learn more about it. She told me all about their experience on the Dragons Den and suggested some of her favourite products.

The child in me could not leave without getting the Hidden Surprise Pink bath bomb €3.70. It's pink, covered in glitter and has a toy inside. What more can you ask for really? Oh wait, it also smells like sweet candy! 

Blue Sapphire, my favourite! A bath bomb good enough for royalty! 

Pixy also have a range of Gift Sets for you to choose from for Christmas. They also over free shipping in Ireland to orders over €50. Also for this week only they are giving you 20% off their Pixy Dazzle gift set, it usually costs €49.95 but you can snap it up for €39.96 and comes with eight amazing products. 

I think Pixy individual products would make fantastic stocking fillers. They also make these Pixy Pedi gifts sets which you can buy on their website for €16.95.

I know too many people with foot phobia's so for their sake I will re-frame from showing any picture of my feet. I will say this though, my feet felt so smooth and smelt great after using the Pixy Pedi set, good enough to eat you might say! The first time I used it I went a bit mad on the peppermint cream and smelt like an after eight which I didn't mind! I'll know better next time, plus the instructions say to apply a small amount but as per usual Sarah no patience got too excited and had to learn the hard way! 

Pixy also don't use ingredients made from animals and only test on themselves so I am proud to announce that Pixy received the Puppy seal of approval. YAY!

You can buy Pixy Online and in Pharmacy's nationwide. To stay up to date on their new products and special offers make sure you head on over to Facebook and like their Pixy Natural page.

Lots of Love,

Sarah

Buy Irish Day 2: Bia Beauty

 All the way from Blarney in County Cork I want to introduce you to Bia Beauty, an exciting range of skin care products made from 100% natural ingredients.

The creation of Bia Beauty blossomed after Tracey Ryan took her love for plants and studied Herbal Science at Cork Institute of Technology. As a result of her studies Tracey says "I know how to select the most appropriate herbs and use them in the most beneficial ways".

Tracey sells all her handmade products on her website www.biabeauty.com. Individually they range from €4.95 up to €19.95. You can also buy beautiful gifts sets containing all her wonderful products. I think these would make wonderful gifts for Christmas. 

This gift set contains: Detox Body Scrub 240ml and Apple Blossom Body Butter 200ml.

This gift set contains: Mellow Mandarin Moisturiser 60ml, Orange & Grapefruit Facial exfoliant and Cleanser 60ml and a 7ml Lip balm in Lime Pie.

The Feed Your Skin gift set included the whole Bia Beauty skin care range including the Lemon Myrtle Hand Cream 60ml.

I can not get over how fresh these products smell. Each product really is made from 100% simple natural food ingredients and are even suitable for dry skin. One thing I didn't know before discovering Bia Beauty is that your skin absorbs 60% of what you apply to it. If you are what you eat then your skin is also what it eats. That's why Tracey named her natural handmade cosmetics company Bia beauty (Bia being the Irish word for food). Tracey also tries to order her ingredients as local as possible. She buys bees wax from a bee keeper in West cork and chocolate from O'Connell's in Cork city.

I've liked all the Bia Beauty products I have tried out so far and if I had to choose, I say my two favourite products are the Apple Blossom Body Butter (200ml €19.95) because it is so nourishing to my skin and I love the apple scent. I also love the Lime Pie Lip Balm (7ml €4.95) again because of the wonderful scent and handy packaging. I love them all, the smells and textures are just perfect for me.

You can stay up to date with Tracey's expanding product range on her Facebook page and Twitter

Support Irish this Christmas and buy Irish for your family and friends.

Love,

Sarah
