Angela Langford review

Hi my little beauties.....

Today I'm going to review the wonderful Angel Langford samples that i received...to have a look on her website please go here...





Clean Sweep Luxury Cleansing Balm £21.40




This is exactly what it says on the tin...pure luxury..it is a clear oil base of Shea butter, apricot kernel oil and Eucalyptus and chamomile to name but a few ingredients..so comforting. I massaged this over my whole face and eyes, a little goes a long way and it spreads over your face like a dream with no need to drag the skin at all...we don't want any pesky wrinkles ladies.. then i used a wet hottish flannel to take off my makeup while i inhaled the wonderful aroma....every single bit of mascara and make up came off...woop woop...my skin felt moisturised, smooth and clean. I would highly recommend this especially if you normally buy Liz Earle cleanse and polish...as angelas clean sweep also takes your mascara off in one fell swoop. There wasn't much change in  my skin as i received a sample size.
I would definitely recommend this product


Freshen UP rose,geranium & orange blossom toner £10.35
This sample came in a brilliant little spritz bottle which was so convenient and i wish all toners came packaged like this.....Oh and the smell was absolutely gorgeous because of the rose geranium and orange blossom. To be honest i am not one for toners really and i only use a toner once a week....but it got the last traces of my cleanser off and smelt so fresh...and didn't make my skin feel all tight...which was great as i have dry skin. If you love your toner this is definitely worth trying out.


Renew & Repair Q10 & Vit E Oil £22.55
This oil is absolutely delightful to use..some of you would think...eeewwww an oil on your skin wouldn't feel right..but believe me on my dry skin this felt amazing. This oil includes ingredients such as Argon oil,blackcurrant and rosehip oils to name but a few. I put a few drops on my fingertips and gently tapped in onto my skin, again inhaling the wonderful aroma.. then as angela advises gently massage for a few minutes for the oil to be absorbed into your skin. The oil sank in beautifully and my skin felt hydrated and smooth..in fact i didn't use a moisturiser on top of this as i felt my skin didn't need it. This is well worth the money as a little goes a long way.

Overall the samples i was sent were a decent size but didn't last long enough for me to visibly see a major difference in my skin..however my skin felt moisturised, smooth and looked really healthy. I would highly recommend all of the above products i have used especially as angelas products are natural and have not been tested on animals... which in my book is a huge bonus.

Has anybody tried angelas products? What are your thoughts....

Lady Mucks haul

hi bloggettes......As i was looking through the hundreds of blogs that i follow i noticed a website called Lady Mucks (sorry can't remember who's blog it was)... so i had a mooch and found some mega gorgeous bath and body products all handmade. so i went ahead and i ordered:-
(l-r) Pink Wedding cake soap, solid lotion bar, passion fruit pink soap, 8 bath creamers, blue amber wood soap (with label), Ocean breeze soap, Blue solid sugar body scrub, Massive bath bob in center

This is what Lady Muck states about her soap

A wide selection of hand made soaps made from 100% vegetable based ingredients to produce a mild and gentle lather to cleanse...They are not tested on animals as its very strongly against my beliefs and are also suitable for vegetarians...


My order....






Blue Amber wood SLS Free Handmade Soap £1.69

I wont be reviewing this as its a present, a great smelling man soap.


Pink hand made soap Wedding Cake strawberry & cream £1.50
This is also a present but smelt of strawberry's and looked so cute..mmmm


Ocean Breeze Traditional Handmade Soap £1.89
This is soap is so fresh and would defo wake you up in the mornings. I actually bought this for Mr but he likes my passion fruit soap!!!hehehe The lather off this soap is sooooo moisturising and creamy and your skin is like silk after using it.Its going to last ages too.














Passion Fruit SLS Free Handmade Soap 1.69
Yes this is mine all mine, well that's what i thought!!! Again this soap has such creamy bubbles and i found that after using it i didn't need to use moisturise. I have never experienced that before as i have dry skin all over!! Again this soap is long lasting.













French Vanilla & Blackcurrant Bath Creamers x 8 £3.89
These little balls are amazing...i am normally very heavy handed so i thought..i will pop 2 of these little babies into my bath...OMG...even though they are small they take absolutely ages to dissolve..which is a good thing...and your left with pure Shea butter floating on top of the bath..i then rubbed the Shea butter into my skin while i was still wet and in the bath...After my skin was amazingly moisturised and silky. I will defo be repurchasing these as they are brilliant value. You have to be careful when using these bath creamers as the bath will be slippy when you get out...so make sure you clean the bath out or not depending how much you like your partner!!!lol



















Black Raspberry & Vanilla Bath Bomb 200g £1.99
This is massive you could put the whole thing in the bath or use if for 2 baths and smells divine. I cannot review this as it was a present.




















Carnt remember flavour...solid sugar body scrub 120g £4.49
This baby i now cannot live without. Its a good size to hold in your hand and it does not crumble at the first sight of water. I use it on my dry body which feels so invigorating before i shower and its amazing at exfoliating and getting rid of the last bits of fake tan. This bar is a proper hardcore scrub..i love it...I have also used it on my wet body which then turned it into a medium scrub and obviously it went further. I cannot stress how impressed i am with this bar as i have been looking for a hardcore scrub for ages which actually feels like its doing something and not just tickling the skin!!! Again like with all the products i have reviewed this is amazingly moisturising and left my skin like silk. Defo defo a repurchase.

Fruity Solid lotion bar 90g £2.99
Wow this another favourite of mine..You hold the solid bar in your hand and it gently starts to melt and let off the most amazing fragrance. I have found that this bar can be used everywhere on your body...elbows/knees/cuticles/hands..just about everywhere. As the bar is a solid oil you would think it takes ages to sink..well it doesn't but i would save it for a night time when you put your jarmers on after because it really relaxes you. In the morning you have beautiful baby soft skin..another repurchase.



















So overall i am over the moon with my new purchases and will defo repurchasing again in the future as my skin is hydrated and not scaly like a snake anymore.











I also got a volume discount of £1.54 Bonus and the shipping was £5.30..not too bad as the package will be quite heavy .


I would like to point out that i am not affiliated in any way to Lady Mucks and i purchased all items with my own money.

sorry about the weird spacing of this post...took me ages to get it nearly right!!!gggrrr
