Emma Hardie - Lighter Hydrating Lotion Moisturiser

A few weeks ago I actually had a Emma Hardie facial! Okay it was a 'retail facial' at work. I got a little star struck as I recognised the lady off QVC who works along side Emma herself, I was lucky enough to have her perform ( I feel like that could be the wrong word, but,  it did make me want to have a sing and dance about it after!) the facial. It was a training session at the same time for the rest of the staff, I promptly jumped at the chance to be the guinea pig! A great way to try out products and have a pamper session!  I had just ordered a package deal of EH products from QVC and that night they were waiting for me at home, impeccable timing!

As I am now such a massive fan of the balm and had such great results I thought it only right to try some of the rest of the products in the range!

In my joyous bundle I received :

• A full size moringa balm jar - 100ml
• A full size Lighter Hydrating Lotion Moisturiser
• Night Cream - 50ml
•  1  trial size of Skin Plumping Serum
  
  
  All for £36.00!! - The Moringa balm is £34.00 on its own! Insane bargain! Oh I do love a bargain me! Good old QVC's TSV!
  
  

  

  
  
  
  
  Lighter Hydrating Moisturiser
  
  
  I've been using the moisturiser for the last month.  Before I started to use it, my skin was definitely dehydrated, felt dry and horrid.  Normally,  I am  programmed into thinking that ' I must have oober thick cream on my face nowww and that it must come from a pot to have hydrated skin again!' However, this is most certainly not the case and has changed my way of thinking. Since using  the lighter lotion I have not had any signs of dryness! - It may be a combination of using the moringa balm as well as this, but, I have not felt like I have needed a thicker cream at any point. This also feels lovely on my sensitive skin. It goes onto the skin beautifully and I have found it a great base for makeup.  It hasn't broken me out either which I'm happy about!
  Another heavenly smelling product!
  I love the packaging of the products and they look rather luxurious in my drawer! I'm still trying out the night cream and have not yet tried the serum! All in due course!
  
  

  

  

  
  
  
  
  £38.00 bought on it's own. Feel Unique has a great discription of this product.

Emma Hardie - Moringa Balm

Oh Emma!

I first tried the 'wonder product' the Moringa balm in Sep 2011. Initially, I did not use it as a cleanser, I was still using my trusty cleanse and polish. I tended to use it as a mask 1-2 times a  week. The balm was an absolute god send in the winter months when my skin would get chapped in the freezing winds! I'd slap this all over my face and lips I would sit back and relax, everything would be calmed, soothed and put right. For the last few months I've been using this as a cleanser. Oh my goodness my skin has never felt so soft  looked so clear and hydrated! I still use it as a mask too during the week.  I'm on my third pot! I'm looking out for that bad boy 200ml pot too!

It's a multi use balm, you can use it as a cleanser,mask, night serum, got a dry patch? Pop it on there too! calms sensitive skin, revitalises dull and mature skins. I love it!

A brand new pot!

I Had to poke it! It's like fresh snow!

When using it as a cleanser I use it morning and night. I scoop a small amount into my hand an add some warm water. I mix it together and it becomes a creamy milky consistency. Then all over my face it goes including eyes (melts makeup away beautifully) and rinsed off using a  muslin cloth or flannel,  I cleanse twice if wearing make-up. Voilà my skin feels soft clean and even a little plumper! If I am using it as a mask I will cleanse my face and then pop the balm all over my face (not adding water) and keep it on there for roughly 30 minutes. It doesn't dry but  it will keep it's balmy feel and then again rinsed off using  warm water with a flannel/muslin cloth ...hydration perfection achieved! Smells good too!

I noted some of the ingredients  from the main site:


Moringa seed extract, Wild Sea Fennel, Orange, Neroli and Mandarin extracts, Jasmine, Cedarwood and Rose.

Emma Hardie

It's priced at £34.00 available at Space NK, feel unique and lots more!

It's been in my life for nearly a year and it won't be going anywhere for a long time! - Apart from on my face!
