Do you ladies know any UK beauty/fashion/makeup blogs by black women?
thanks in advance!
There you go....
Vex in the City - Make up
Or, and there's London Diva's one (Fashion)

Ugh
Also Blaque*Angel's natural perfumes are a winner. Lovely fragrances without the immediate sneezing fit that normally follows me spraying conventional perfumes. The choice is craaaaaaaaazy. They are a winner with DH
and I still have a couple to go home and crack open: Chanel No. 5 and Watermelon. I can only imagine they will be great too.
ETA: 100 % natural - they have a silk base are blended with vitamin e oil,aloe vera and contain natural organic fragrance oils and organic ingredients.

B*A is another one I need to stay away from.
I went through her list and WOW! There's a good 10 fragrances I need!
Does it come in a spray or, roll on?

Here's the review...
CV's Lavender Lemon soap
Smells divine. Suds really well so, a little is needed. Didn't dry out my skin and could still smell the fragrance on me a few hours later. It served as duel purpose through as I used it to wash my muslin facial cloth.
Worked well in fact! Will buy again!
CV's Honey Butter soap
Didn't sud as well but, that was due to the fatty content. Cleans well and left my skin smooth. Looks like I found my Spring and Autumn soap! (Winter soap is SheaButterCottage's Karite - Sheabutter Soap)
There you have it!

Hey sunrise!
thanks for the link and for the review! Do you have sensitive skin? Did you notice any drying or breakouts?
Sunrise
Ugh
Hiya Mimi22
Yer welcome!
I should clarify that I used the CV's soaps on my body only. Nope, my skin is not sensitive. My skin is drying out as I get older and, worst during the winter (THIS winter in particular...).
I found a cleanser for for face some years ago and, it works well (Liz Earle's Cleanse and Polish cleanser) but, was struggling in finding something that works for my body until recently.
I will be buying a facial soap for my mum soon so, I will let you know how that goes.

Ladies who CO wash, which conditioners do you use? I'm looking for something moisturising, with no cones and relatively affordable. TIA

Try V05 the american brand most BSS carry them now, the british ones in the supermarkets/chemists are not cone free. HTH
I use Inecto Pure Coconut Oil condish. Its available at Superdrug for about £1.99 and it doesn't have cones OR mineral oil! Yay!
Smells great too.

^^^ Yeah I know it's called beautiful ends and it has slightly diff ingredients but the stuff I am talking about is the actual US version which you can even get in Thailand & Cambodia (also saw it in Oz). The UK is fugged up I tell you. 
I tried the Beautiful Ends and it was crap on my relaxed hair (it weighed it down and made it dull) but it was good on my regrowth. I don't believe it's the same as LTR because the vids I've seen of it on YT show it to have a more liquid consistency while Beautiful Ends is more creamy.
ETA:
Stella. Long time, no speak. How are you?

Thanks for that Gabrielle, I was wondering why they were selling it so cheap. I need to order a few tubs...
Well done on grazing APL, I hopefully should be there by the time I touch up in June, although I need a trim...
Got to give props to Darcy Botanicals Peach Kernel Hydrating Milk. Not only is it all natural but it smells fabulous and it keeps my hair beautifully moisturised. I'm very glad it's natural, as everything else that I use has so many cones...

^^^ Nothing serious Mimi - just transtion didn't go well as the two texture thingy was a nightmare and my hair literally just broke off. Not even the super duper hard protein treatments could save me so I just had a lady cut it all off when I was in Thailand.
Its pretty sad but to tell the truth I think I made the right decision
Btw APL is not to be sniffed at woman - I dream of getting there sometime within the next two years .....
