I'm no beauty guru or skincare expert, I'm just a really happy customer :)





Ahh, what a lovely company. On their USA website, they have a page for their 100% vegan products which is such a huge help :))


I'm in love with the packaging of this product. I really love how The Body Shop markets itself. It's basic, aesthetic and most importantly cruelty free!
All of their products aren't tested on animals but these 2 face masks are actually 100% vegan because they don't contain any animal products in them!



YASSS!!

The jar feels really solid and sturdy which is really nice. The smell is divine and everything you can expect from a rose-scented product.

From The Body Shop website, this mask is said to be their 100% Vegan British Rose Fresh Plumping Mask, it's a refreshing gel-textured moisturising mask that nourishes and hydrates your skin.

It works to moisturise, soothe and tone the skin and it's best for skin that needs to be quenched and replumped with hydration.
So this mask is typically used to hydrate :)

It provides comfort with its aloe vera calming properties and freshly replenishes the skin's water reserves, while the petals provide the gentlest exfoliation!


After leaving the mask on till it dries completely (maybe about 20 minutes), you can massage your face with water to exfoliate your skin :)


That's all for this post, bye for now :)

Ever since I saw Handmade Heroes being featured on friends Instagram accounts, I felt the itch to get my hands on some of their products too. It's so refreshing to find local cruelty-free and vegan products! All of their products are all handcrafted in Singapore.


Just a little background, on the Handmade Heroes website it says:

All our products are vegan, even our sugars are vegan. Being plant based vegans ourselves, we nitpick our ingredients to ensure they are all vegan and cruelty free. Our sugars are vegan and have not been filtered with bone char.

All our products are really 100% all natural. We don't use any synthetic chemicals in our products nor do we use any preservatives. We use ingredients that are easily recognisable: rice, coffee, cocoa butters, coconut oil, sweet almond oil.

Our products are paraben free and don't contain any nasties.


I chose to get the Rose Petals Super Duper Nourishing Rice Scrub and the Coconut Sorbet Lip Scrub.

First, let me talk about the Rose Petals Super Duper Nourishing Rice Scrub.

I chose to get a scrub because I at that point in time, I had really dry and flaky skin, especially on my legs. So I wanted to have a nice exfoliator while it being moisturising to leave my skin feeling smooth and nourished. Thankfully, I found Handmade Heroes!

Ingredients: Organic Rice, Sweet Almond Oil, Cocoa Butter, Rose Petals, Geranium Oil

This rice scrub is very effective. It comes with a cute little spatula to easily scrape the product out hygienically. It feels a little oily but it's just the almond oil, cocoa butter and geranium oil doing its magic. Can I also just say that this smells divine!

My verdict for this rice scrub is that it's amazing and if you're looking for an effective and affordable exfoliate, this is a must-try. However, it can't be kept for long especially in a warm and humid environment like the bathroom so try to use it quickly once opened- be generous to yourself when using this product :)


The next product I'm going to talk about is the Coconut Sorbet Lip Scrub.
I've been looking around for a lip scrub and I was elated when I saw that Handmade Heroes had one and in coconut flavour, no less.
