Lusting after …

Just when you thought you would be free from beauty products temptation when going to buy milk, you need to think again. I am doing this diet at the moment where I am trying to find alternatives to traditional skimmed milk. So I headed to my local Hollands & Barrett to find some 'different' kind of milk. I had no idea there were selling so many organic beauty products and the first sight which greeted me when I entered the shop was a very tempting stand full to the brim of Dr Organic skincare products.

The stand is absolutely massive, from face moisturisers, face masks, serum, shower gels, body butters. Huge, I tell you. And they extend, from what I can gather, across 12 ranges, with the Moroccan Argan Oil and the Coconut one as their most recent.

I can't buy everything that I see but if I could, this would be what I would love to spend my pennies on:

Virgin Coconut Oil Hydrating Radiance Elixir (£12.99, 30ml) I am totally nutty about coconut, anything with coconut in and I am there. This is what they have to say about it: An intensive treatment that organically replenishes and rehydrates the skin for instant radiance and softness. This light, fast absorbing elixir instantly penetrates the skin, helps restore the hydrolipidic barrier, improves the dynamic and static hydration and decrease the trans epidermal water loss.


Virgin Olive Face Mask (£6.19, 125ml)
I have been recently disappointed with a certain olive oil face mask but I am still craving olive oil products.  "This nutrient rich clay based formulation draws oil from the pores while ridding the skins surface of dead cells and impurities and supporting the circulation deep into the capillaries to leave the skin feeling toned and perfectly hydrated".


And finally, I also fancy the Pomegranate Skin Lotion (£7.19, 200ml). This is the only product I was able to test on my skin: so light and smells divine. In fact, I don't know of any other pomegranate product which smells equally as good. Yum!


Have you ever used any products from Dr Organic?

Bargain Time: Dr Perricone Super Skincare at half price





Ever since I heard about the launch the 'Super' skincare range by Dr Perricone last September, I've been wanting to try it. If you're new to the brand, the concept is simple. It's called 'super' because it is based on the 'Superfood' theory, and use for example fruits and vegetables identified as superfoods (see the list here) as its main ingredients. And the range is super cute, with its simple, minimalistic yet bright and colourful packaging.But there is one thing which has stopped me: the prohibitive price. The range is a premium skincare brand with an obvious price tag to match. Well, there's never been a better time to try the brand as Cocosa has got a half price sale on selected Dr Perricone Super skincare products.

My personal favourite pick from the sale? The acai berry cleanser. At £12, it's still more than I would usually pay for a cleanser, but it sounds a hell of a lot affordable than £26. I am tempted.  What if I like it too much and then I am 'stuck' to then buy it at full price? Aaa, this has always been my dilemma around trialling premium products. I don't know. I was hoping that writing about it on here will help me make make up my mind, but I am still undecisive. So I thought I'd tempt you too :P.
