New in: The Rose Tree Intensive balm with Marshmallow and Frangipani

I have been lucky enough to have a sneak preview of the latest product from The Rose Tree which launched this week and it is a total treat to use! The Rose Tree is a brand that I love, their products are well priced and very effective. See my post Introducing the Rose Tree for more information on the brand.

The Rosey Serums: Mun and Herbfarmacy

Continuing my long love affair with Rose I have two Rose oils for you today, both very different, one with a high end price tag and one extremely well priced given it's organic credentials and quality of ingredients. I say it again and again, there is no need to pay for high end products unless you want to, I know that for a lot of people me included they like to splurge and that is OK, however I like to offer options that I think are great quality at all price points. Roses are one of my favourite skincare ingredients, they seem to suit my dry/sensitive skin and rose oil has been highly prized now for centuries for it's exquisite scent and skincare qualities.

Starting with the high end product the MUN - Aknari Brightening Youth Serum is something of a cult product across the pond. Created by make up artist Munemi Imai, who fell in love with the benefits of natural ingredients after a brief period of illness. The Mun serum is made simply with three ingredients, with a host of serums on the market with 20+ ingredients you know that this blend has to be made with the highest quality ingredients to compete.

Artisan candles from Almost Edible

I don't think there is anything more lovely than a product truly made with love, which is why I am very pleased to be bringing you a brand that oozes quality and craftsmanship. I have known Kate the founder of Almost Edible through the blog since before she launched her gorgeous website and have seen first hand how much passion goes in to her work. Kate's story is also very similar to mine, she also was a lover of conventional beauty products and approaches until she realised that percentages of beneficial ingredients were often minimal.

Exotic beauty: Mauli Rituals W. Pure perfume oil
