Eminence Organic Skincare: The Rose Collection

I have been looking for an Eminence Organic Skincare UK stockist like forever! I was pleased to find one via an article in InStyle magazine. I browsed the site and treated myself to the very gorgeous Rose Collection (£50 plus P&P).  Delivery was quick within a couple of days.

The award winning brand is made using organic and natural ingredients grown in Hungary. Products are free from parabens, SLS, propylene glycol, mineral oil, artificial dyes and perfumes.

The set comes in a handcrafted wooden tube and each product contains a few weeks supply (although I think the serum will last longer) - so great try me size or to take on holiday.  The set consists of trial sizes and one full size - Couperose-C Serum which is worth £33.

The pots are all 1/2 oz (15ml)

Sweet Red Rose Cleanser - a light milk which smells intensely rosey. It is suitable for normal/combination skin and can be used AM and PM.  Place a small amount of cleanser in palm add a little water to emulsify and apply to the skin massaging in circular motions. Remove with a damp warm muslin cloth.  This is gorgeous. It leaves the skin feeling clean yet hydrated.  Love!

Rosehip & Maize Exfoliating Masque - this has a fruity scent and gently exfoliates the skin.  Suitable for all skin types.  Apply as you would a mask, leave to dry for 5-10 minutes and then remove with a warmed muslin cloth, gently scrubbing off the mask as you go.

Sweet Red Rose Treatment Masque - this looks like jam! It has rich red rose scent and is gentle enough to use every day. It is suitable for normal, dry and sensitive skin types.  To use: apply a small amount to your palm and use a few drops of water to emulsify. Leave on 5-10 minutes before rinsing.

Rosehip Whip Moisturizer - this is a light and fruity moisturiser which is suitable for normal/oily and sensitive skin.  Again emulsify a small amount in your hand with a few drops of water and apply to the face and neck.  It soothes and hydrates the skin.

Sweet Red Rose Whip Moisturizer - this is a rich cream which smells deeply of roses. It is great for mature skin types as it rejuvenates and leaves the skin looking radiant and renewed.  This is a best seller which hydrates and softens the skin.

Couperose C Serum - this serum is especially good for sensitive, reactive, oily, dehydrated and dry skin types. It has a base of rosehip oil with lavender and peppermint which gives it a minty herbal scent. It absorbs quickly and leaves the skin hydrated as well as helping to smooth out lines and wrinkles. Can be used AM and PM.

I've been enjoying using the collection and I'll update you as to my thoughts when I finish each product. There's definitely a few more I'd like to try from the range.
