Connock London Wonder Balm Review

I am a real fan of Connock London products, but I am an even bigger fan of multi purpose products.  I love the challenge of seeing how many uses I can find for one product.

Connock London Wonder Balm is right up my street.

Wonder Balm contains Kukui Oil, Monoi, Cocoa Butter, Mango Butter and Beeswax.  It hydrates, soothes and moisturises dry skin, it also calms irritated skin.

Wonder Balm is made with 100% natural ingredients.

First things first, I really like the packaging of this product, all too often balms come in pots so small I struggle to actually get my finger in the pot, this is absolutely ideal and when you eventually get to the bottom of the pot there will be absolutely no wastage.

Secondly there is a very light, pleasant fragrance, not at all overpowering.

Finally what can you use this balm for?  Well to be honest you are only limited by your imagination.  I have used it on cuticles, cracked heels, a dry patch of skin on my back, as a lip balm, eyebrow tamer, fly away hair, sun burnt ears on my cat!  See what I mean, it's one of those products that you will use each and every day for something on someone.  It truly is a Wonder Balm.

Now I know you will probably be thinking £18.50 for a balm is a bit steep, but I photographed the balm above on Saturday, I have been using it for about 6 weeks and as you can see I have hardly made a dent in it,  I reckon that even using this balm several times a day I am going to get at least 6 months use out of it, that works out at about 7p a week, absolute bargain for such an all round product.

Batiste Tropical Dry Shampoo Review

I don't know anyone that doesn't love Batiste Dry Shampoo.  I have 2 daughters and all of use this product and there are cans of this stuff in every room.  We have various colours, fragrances and sizes.  This product has been a saviour for me as a shift worker and I always have a mini can in my handbag in case of 'flat hair' emergencies.

The latest addition to the Batiste family is the Tropical, with Coconut and Exotic Fragrance.

This works exactly the same as all of the other Batiste products but the fragrance is very summery.  The fragrance is not as powdery as some of the others.  This is a light, fresh fragrance that gives you that just washed freshness.  I love the fact that this comes in the larger can and it is a firm favourite in my household.
