Summer-ready skin in two easy steps from Reversa and Coppertone!

Fragrant Friday - Yardley London English Rose, English Lavender and Lily of the Valley

My apologies, this was meant to have gone live last Friday for Victoria Day weekend but there was a scheduling snafu so please enjoy, albeit a little late!

Yardley London, one of the world's leading purveyors of quality perfumes and bath and body products since 1770 with a succession of Royal Warrants was kind enough to send me a package so I could try out the collections in honour of Queen Victoria’s 200th birthday in 3 light and fresh smelling scents perfect for spring:

English Rose - a refreshing, light fresh floral with sparkling citrus and rose top notes blended with tea accord. Combining a complex floral heart of rose bud, magnolia, violet and cassis with warm woody notes, it’s enhanced with patchouli and musks, adding velvety tones to the base.

This was my favorite scent of the trio - I don't normally like rose scents but I really love this one, it has a freshness to it that makes it totally unlike an "old-lady" rose fragrance that I would usually reject!

English Lavender - a beautifully fresh, clean elegant fragrance combining bergamot and clary sage with a heart combining English Lavender, eucalyptus, geranium, jasmine, chamomile and violet, enhanced with deeper, warm notes of wood, vanilla and patchouli.

Lily of the Valley - a light, feminine white floral with fruit pear accords in the top note and a beautiful floral bouquet heart of lily accord blended with freesia and enhanced with a pretty, musky base.

With each scent available in:

Moisturising Fragrance Body Mist - 200ml - $12.99 - a long-lasting, quick-drying, non-staining light fragrance with a vegetable derived alcohol base and 97% naturally derived ingredients.

This week I'm obsessed with... No7 Laboratories Resurfacing Skin Paste!

No7 Resurfacing Skin Paste - 50ml - $28 - combines the instant skin-enhancing boost of a mask with the efficacy of a skin transforming treatment to visibly brighten and refine the skin's texture, reduce the appearance of pores and improve the appearance of hyper-pigmentation for brighter, more even looking skin.

The formula gets to work instantly to deliver visible results in just 15 minutes and from first use, complexion appears brighter and more even-looking; skin feels smooth and pores look visibly clearer. After 1 week, skin texture is dramatically improved, pore size and uneven skin tone are visibly reduced.

It's easy to use, just apply an even layer to cleansed skin, avoiding the eye, brow and lip area. Wait for 15 minutes, during which time you may experience a light tingling sensation. Remove with warm water and the muslin cloth included. Use 2-3 times weekly but ease up if you experience irritation and take a break before resuming use. Also keep it mind that because it contains an alpha hydroxy acid, your skin's sensitivity to the sun may be increased so be sure to use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing and limit sun exposure while using and for a week after use of the product has stopped.
