Review: Lavera Range...

Hello my lovelies.

Long time no blog! I had a manic week last week celebrating my 21st but I'm back on full form now & have lost of blog posts lined up =]

I was recently contacted and asked if I wanted to try a range of products from a brand called Lavera, I'd never heard of this brand before and as you know I'm always up for trying new things so thought I'd give them a go.

Here's a little bit about Lavera the brand...

'A multi award-winning brand championing natural, honest products.  Available in over 40 countries world-wide, lavera has three main brand principles; effectiveness, naturalness and skin tolerance. Using these principles it has created more than 230 certified natural products containing sophisticated blends of active ingredients.'

When it comes to beauty products in my opinion the more natural the product can be the better so this sounded right up my street. Here is what I received...

Lavera Mineral Sun Glow Powder, Lavera All Round Cream & Lavera Glossylips Lipgloss.

Lavera Mineral Sun Glow Powder*:

'Lavera Trend Sensitive Organic Mineral Sun Glow Powder 01- Sun Light gives a light bronzed affect and radiant appearance. Recommended for fair skin.
Lavera Trend Sensitive Organic Mineral Sun Glow Powder is perfect for all year round use to keep that naturaly tanned look.
Apply over face or highlight cheek bones and brows using the soft pad provided.'

This is described as a bronzer/highlighter for the face but it's a little too light for me to use as a bronzer so I prefer to use it all over as a pressed powder to combat oil and add a little colour. I've really enjoyed using this, the formulation is silky smooth and it leaves a lovely glow to the skin. 

Lavera Mineral Skin Glow Powder is available here priced at £13.90 per 6.1g.

Lavera Organic All Round Moisurising Cream*:

'Lavera Basis Sensitive Organic All Round Moisturising Cream is an indispensable rich moisturising cream with organic nourishing and moisturising ingredients of organic jojoba, organic almond and organic shea butter to protect and care for your skin.'

I've recently been suffering with really dry knees & elbows and this cream has been a god send. I slather this on any dry areas after my shower at night and wake up to super soft skin. This cream also smells amazing, it really reminds me of lemon cheesecake and I must refrain from eating it! If you're looking for a fairly inexpensive cream that is great for really dry skin then I cannot recommend this product enough. 

Lavera All Round Moisturising Cream is available here priced at £6.95 per 150ml.

 Lavera Organic Glossy Lips - Magic Red*:

'Highlight your lips with Trend Sensitive Organic Glossy Lips Lip Gloss in Magic Red. This two in one Glossy Lips lip Gloss gives your lips nourishment from organic jojoba and olive oil plus shimmer.'

As you can see above the packaging for the Glossylips lipgloss isn't anything fancy but this has to be one of the most hydrating and wearable lipglosses I have ever tried. I'm not a huge gloss fan, I much prefer to slap on lipstick as it tends to last longer but I've really been enjoying using this. If you're afraid of colour but want to inject a little into your makeup routine this gloss would be a great introduction, it adds a subtle hint of red without being too bold or overpowering. If I was into gloss more than I am I would certainly look into purchasing a few more shades of this gloss.

To celebrate their 25th Anniversary Lavera are offering complimentary products worth £25 when you spend £25 or over on the 25th day of each month, throughout 2012!
