If there is one thing I love it's Scandi style. And no, I'm not just talking about IKEA (even though I practically lived there over the last 2 weeks whilst furnishing my flat!) I'm talking about that effortlessly coooool, minimalistic look which is so simple that it's beautiful. Little did I know, that Scandi cool wasn't only for the wardrobe - but also beauty too now!
Enter Danish beauty brand Mirins Copenhagen. Mirins has a whole ethos based on hand crafted, natural body care using essential oils, aromatherapy and ingredients without parabens or SLS. Just look at how gorgeous their Copenhagen shop is! Like some amazing beauty bakery..

Mirins Copenhagen: Scandi Style Comes To Your Beauty Cabinet!
NEW PRODUCT ALERT! It’s been a busy week at Face Value Beauty Blog HQ but there is a pot of Californian gold at the end of the rainbow because I’ve got Coachella coming up! WAHOOOOO!
I don’t know about you but I LOVE planning and packing for
holidays (unpacking is another story obvs) and one of my most important – must-have-this-sorted items has gotta be suncream. Kinda obvious I know, but the right SPF product is crucial to having a good time.

Comfortable Sun Cream? New SPF Comfort Cream From La Roche-Posay Anthelios
Before I went through this whole holiday/move flat double combo, I went to a great event with Vichy. Instagram friends will have probably spotted it alll over my feed but here's the real down-low on what happened.
Vichy has been high on my beauty radar for a while now but especially their Normaderm range as it's for oily and combination oily skin. ie. IT'S MADE FOR ME.
This launch event was to mark the incoming of the latest VICHY Normaderm product - the Night Detox cream. Held in the Ham Yard Hotel in Soho, there was a cinema screening, lovely cocktails and a whole host of fun canapes..
I ended up with three VICHY products to test - the new Night Detox cream, the Normaderm moisturiser and the Normaderm 3-in-1 cleanser - how did I get on with them?

VICHY Normaderm Night Detox Launch: Part 1
It's official - the temperature is slowly creeping up, the sun is coming back out from behind the clouds and the dull days of winter are getting longer and brighter. That's right my dear Face Value friends - Spring is here!!
And what do I associate with Spring? Nothing other than a full spring-clean and overhaul of course. Spring-clean my room, de-clutter my wardrobe and of course, seriously sort out my body.

The days of covering up under snug jumpers and warm woolens are over. My body is in serious need of a detox, de-fuzz, de-scale - basically, a full caterpillar-into-butterfly transformation. It's not going to be easy ..... or is it? Here's where NUXE steps in.
NUXE is a lovely French brand which combines the power of nature with luxury. (See what they did there?) I've been using their micellar water for a while now, and when the opportunity to win some of their products came up, I absolutely jumped at the chance.

So, in line with my Spring transformation, here's my wishlist of the NUXE products I need in order to become that butterfly!

#NuxePamperHamper: My Nuxe Spring Wishlist
Did you see last week when I went to the Burt's Bees Natural Lip Colour launch? I was really impressed with the event and now that I've had time to try out all the products..... I'm even more impressed!
Like I said last time, I've started to think more about the ingredients in my lipgloss - particularly as we swallow 2 kilos of the stuff in our lifetime!!
So the first thing I used to associated with "natural colour cosmetics" was wishy-washy colours, weird rose-tasting formulas and, quite frankly, just lacking that overall OOMPH that my favourite chemical-loaded cosmetics have.
Well - and I very rarely say this - I was wrong. Feast your eyes on these babies!
Lacking in OOMPH? Wishy-washy colours? First of all, they look great. This is a stunning picture, and truly representative of the stunning lipglosses contained within them.
Let's take a closer look!

NEW Burt's Bees Natural Lip Gloss & Lip Shimmers
Have you heard that age-old fact that a woman swallows 6lbs
of lipstick in her lifetime? 6lbs?! How much is that in grams .... *Googles it* ... 2700grams?! OVER
2.5 kilos??? Is that actually for reals?!
The more I think about what
I’m putting on my lips or onto my skin, the more I start thinking I should go
organic. Y’know, go back down the natural path? Avoid horrible parabens and
petrochemicals - stick to the good stuff.
I touched on this a bit when I reviewed the lovely Korres WhiteTea Facial Gel Cleanser and I realised that the no-nasties approach should definitely be applied for my lip products. If you're gonna swallow over 2 kilos
of this stuff, you’d rather it be a natural product right?!
Jokes aside on natural things you can swallow, in my opinion, the Burt’s Bees original beeswax lip balm is one of the most
natural lip balms you can find at your local beauty dealer. Me and my friends have been a fan
of that little yellow tube for quite some time now.
Here's the even better news..... Burt’s
Bees have now launched a gorgeous new natural lip colour collection – all natural and free
of artificial elements!
The new kids on the block are these stunning Burt's Bees Lip Glosses.
100% natural and packed full of Mother Nature’s moisture-makers – Jojoba,
Sunflower and Botanical Oils – these lip glosses are priced at £8.99 and will
be launching very soon!!

Burt's Bees Natural Lip Colour Launch
So one of my new year resolutions was to start washing my face properly. Not that I don't wash my face or anything gross like that - but I'm talking a twice-a-day soap and warm water routine. My 90 year old nan swears by a hot flannel and warm water wash twice a day, and seriously - she has skin as soft as *insert some sort of metaphor here other than a baby's bum*
I talked about the first cleanser of 2014 in my review of the Botanics Hot Cloth Cleanser I didn't really like that though (it's for sale in my Blog Sale) mainly because the oil/balm consistency was too heavy for my skin.
So let's change up the formulation. Something lighter, something a bit less oily. Mr FV's lil sister bought me this gorgeous Korres White Tea Gel Cleanser for Christmas and it.is.awesome. HIYA.
Minimalistic, natural and effective - this Korres White Tea Fluid Gel Cleanser is designed for all skin types. A lovely, silky gel which is a joy to massage over my face, it cleanses with a mild foam but without dehydrating the skin or leaving any of that squeaky-clean residue.
What makes it stand out?
