So if you follow me on Instagram, you'll have known this post was on its way. Recently I was sent some beautiful organic, handmade beauty & cosmetic products. These are from a new brand called Smudge!
The products I was sent were a Strawberry Lip Gloss and a Patchouli Hand & Body Cream. They also sent me a lip balm, but that I'm saving for a separate post because I seriously love it! (lip balm lover over here.) I was so excited receiving them as they are 100% organic and it is lovely when brands are resourceful instead of packing products full of chemicals & fillers. It's refreshing to know the ingredients are sourced from natural oils and such.
The first thing I tried was the Patchouli scented Hand & Body Cream. This is a very strongly scented cream with a natural fragrance, so if you like Patchouli... you'll love this! It has a gorgeous consistency of a thick, creamy, silky yoghurt and then tin is a perfect size. There's enough to last you a good while but not too big to throw in your handbag to keep your skin hydrated on the go.
The great thing about this cream is it soaks in quite quickly. I can't sit still so this is important for me! I love applying this after a long soak in the bath and shaving my legs. I am a sucker for creams after suffering from dry hands but I will gladly add this to my collection.
The Strawberry Lipgloss is perfect for anyone who's not keen on straight up lipsticks or lip-glosses. It's a great combination of these two things! The texture it not too sticky and you almost forget you're wearing it. It has a lovely shimmery look which gives a nice shine on the lips and can also be worn very faint (by dabbing onto the lip with your finger) or as a heavier colour with the applicator to build it up.
The applicator is such a great shape & is lovely and soft!
The packaging is great and stylish. This wouldn't look out of place is any make up bag.
For anyone looking for organic, cruelty free cosmetics, Smudge is totally for you! I have also heard they are moving into candles & home scents too which I am very excited about! Nothing like a beautiful smelling home (and if its organic then all the better!)
You can catch up with Smudge over on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram! So head over now to order yours.
Until next time..
