Now this is one Oh So Heavenly body butter

And it is a BUTTER. Not a thick cream with an identity crisis, but a real body butter.

This is a new release from Oh So Heavenly and I am hooked. And yes I wrapped it in hearts because this beauty deserves the love.

Oh So Heavenly Butter Me Up  Moisture Miracle Body Butter is a very rich, triple butter blend of Avocado, Shea and Cocoa butters and is infused with anti-oxidant rich Goji Berries and rejuvenating strawberries.

The texture is super thick and rich and perfect for dry winter skin or areas that need more TLC. Even though the butter is so thick, it melts into your skin. I have my pot on my desk and apply it to my hands during the day, and it is absorbed within a minute. Then it doesn’t even leave greasy finger marks on my phone’s screen. Yet you can still feel the butter on your skin, like a comforting layer that’s protecting your skin. My skin soaks up the goodness and is left feeling supple and soft and it glows. I REALLY love this butter. It also works extremely well with my sensitive eczema-prone skin. I have noticed in the past that some body butters aggravate my eczema, but this one actually calms my skin. As do most OSH creams that I have tried.

I was a bit worried that the scent would be too sweet and over powering, but it is beautifully subtle and reminds me of strawberry Sugus. Totally yum.

Oh ja… and it retails for R37. Yes, you read that correctly. And I promise you, this budget beaut beats a lot of the ‘higher end’ butters  I have tried. It is available at Clicks right now.

There is one more butter in the range and I am convinced it is just as good as this one.

I received a couple of new releases that I will share with you shortly, but this one deserved a post of its own.

Naturals Beauty is a thing of beauty!

Facial oils are a necessity during the colder months, especially if you have dry skin or you feel you need a little assistance in the anti-ageing department. I have two oils that I love, but when I read about the Sweet Orange Wrinkle Banisher from Naturals Beauty I had to get it ASAP.

With my purchase the lovely Tanya from Naturals Beauty also included the Avocado Night Treatment and a Lip Balm for me to try out.

The Sweet Orange Wrinkle Banisher is my new favourite oil. It contains ingredients that soften and moisturise the skin, eliminates toxins, supports collagen formation and it contains AHA to rejuvenate. The orange scent of this oil is just fantastic and immediately makes you feel pampered. It’s just lovely. The oil feels a little thicker than my other oils, but it still absorbs completely. My skin feels soft and pampered when I apply this oil. My face is left with a radiant glow that is noticeable on application and the next morning. The directions say to apply the oil to the areas around the eyes and mouth (to target the areas that usually start to show signs of ageing first), but I also like to apply it to my whole face and neck when my skin feels particularly dry and dull and it needs a little extra TLC. I will most definitely buy this product again. R55 for 10ml.

Tanya warned me that the Avocado Night Treatment is very rich and is suitable for more mature skin, but I am so glad I tried it. It is an amazing cream and perfect when my skin needs an extra boost of moisture and more TLC than usual. My skin goes from slightly (sometimes more) oily in summer to very sensitive and dehydrated with dry patches in winter. This cream contains avocado oil which assists in the regeneration and rejuvenation of the skin. It will assist in healing sun damage, scars and reduce age spots. It also contains geranium oil that has antiseptic, refreshing and astringent qualities which will help to balance oil (sebum) production in the skin. Even though this cream is very rich, my skin absorbs it beautifully and I love it. I have also been using it on my hands and it is a brilliant treat for dry, sensitive and even eczema-prone skin. I love applying it to my hands just before going to bed. I will definitely buy this cream for myself. R55 for 50ml.

Another little treat was the lip balm. To be honest, I wasn’t too excited to try it as a lot of natural lip balms just don’t do it for me. Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner! The balm is beautifully scented, light on the lips but very moisturising. Lovely. R20 for 10ml.

During the time I tried the above products, I remembered that I had a milk cleanser sample that I received at a BloggersWhoBless meet earlier in the year. It was still very hot then so I was happy with my foaming cleansers that I was using at the time.

The cleanser is thick, creamy and gentle. I have been using it as a cleanser in the morning and I love it. It cleanses well without stripping my skin. My skin feels smooth, soft and clean after use. I highly recommend it. R80 for 125ml.

I am so impressed with Naturals Beauty. The products are of superb quality and you can be assured that it doesn’t contain any ‘nasties’. The packaging is also pretty and the products are very affordable.

Naturals Beauty gets two thumbs up! I can’t wait to try more from this brand. The baby range also looks brilliant. Visit their FB page to check out the special on the baby range that is running this month.

Naturals Beauty can be very proud of the brand and products they have created.
