Madara Moon Flower Tinted Moisturiser

Madara, Moon Flower Tinted Moisturiser, 50ml £21.50

This is the first Madara product The GIN Lady has tried and we're totally sold on this fabulous product! Let's face it, most of us want a nice natural tint to our faces, and this clean tinted moisturiser does the trick terrifically well! You only need a small amount and it glides onto the skin easily, giving your skin an even glow - perfect for giving your skin's irregular skin tone a deceptive covering. So light, it also moisturises and gives your skin the all important SPF factor as it also contains a sunscreen.

Worth every penny, we're giving this tried and tested tinted moisturiser a high 8 out of 10.

Weleda Deodorants

Weleda at Big Green Smile, Deodorants, £5.95

It's true you can't get a natural anti-perspirant, but as far as natural deodorants are concerned, we've loved using the Sage version offered by Weleda. It works effectively at combating underarm body odour, and can also work on your feet too if that's a concern. We love the Sage smell - woody and herbal, and really quite refreshing - and without a doubt, beats the chemical and aluminium bomb found in traditional deodorants. So if you're looking to change and need some advice - look no further than Weleda. We haven't tried the Rose version yet, but we bet that smells nice too!

Organic Poppy Body Cream

Body Cream, Poppy Organic, £20

The GIN Lady has been using this 'miracle' product for a while now and is a firm favourite in her beauty cabinet. Why? Because it works a treat on dry itchy skin, and in the summer, it doubles up as a fantastic product to help sun damaged skin. Its effectiveness lies in its Birch Bark extract. It contains powerful natural ingredients that offer pain relief and anti-inflammatory properties and we have to admit, it really does the job. With research, the small team behind this lovely skincare label also discovered Birch Bark extract can combat Actinic keratosis (the result of prolonged exposure to the sun), skin cancer and other cancers. Highly recommended.

Natural Empathy Limited Edition

Natural Empathy, Hand and Body Lotion, £15 for 200ml

Beautifully British, Natural Empathy is a skin care brand we've raved about before and for good reason. Their products are highly effective and there isn't a chemical in sight. Brilliantly clean, it's also one of those rare brands that can boast a beautifully British label, as is made in the rolling green hills of Northumberland.

This limited edition Hand and Body lotion, proudly wrapped in Union Jack flag packaging, is a luxurious blend that gives off a nostalgic natural fragrance enhancing its non-greasy, silky formula and a little goes a long way too - surely the perfect gift for your mum (we're certainly buying some for our mothers!).

This exclusive lotion is enriched with organic essential oils including cedarwood, lavender and patchouli and contains the Natural Empathy range’s signature cold pressed extra virgin moisturising oil grown exclusively in Northumberland, to care for and nourish your skin.  Britain’s superior answer to olive oil, rape seed oil is one of the most natural and healthy oils in existence - richer and more nutritive, easily absorbed and wonderfully softening. 

This paraben free, cruelty free, synthetic free, natural beauty product is made lovingly in small batches and is suitable for even sensitive skin.

ELEMENTAL HERBOLOGY

Elemental Herbology, Facial Glow, £35.72

We're feeling really chuffed by our latest skincare product trial - Elemental Herbology. If you ever shop at Space NK the chances are you've seen it, even better tried it. Thankfully free of all those known nasties - mineral oils, synthetic fragrance and colours, sulphates, PABA sun screens and parabens - our first two products - Facial Glow and Soothing Oil Free Facial Hydrator - have done the job nicely, and addresses a skin problem many of us can relate to - dull skin.
