English Rose Cosmetics have great packaging. The right amount of kitsch and glamour. All inspired by women living in war-torn Britain in the 1940s and how they managed to look glamorous despite having limited resources. Founder of English Rose Cosmetics, Karin McKay, drew on her 16 years of experience to create the brand. She choose ingredients that are proven to work.

We reviewed two of the products from the range.

 

Daily Defence Moisturiser.

This moisturiser has a wonderful texture, it is a cream but is gel like. It is very refreshing to put on and melts into the skin. It makes my skin look instantly radiant and it smells great. Long term it improves skin, making it look loved and more youthful. What more could you want?

This lovely refreshing gel like moisturiser plumps out fine lines and wrinkles whilst intensely moisturising.  Skin is protected from free radicals and shielded from allergens and pollutants and helps reduce redness caused in inflammation.

Cocoa Ration Body Butter

This body butter is the way body butter should be. It is thick and takes a while to massage in. It smells great and improves skin tone. Even on the first use. It has cocoa, shea and avocado: all brilliant ingredients that really make a difference to skin. What’s more, it only costs £10. I know that is not cheap, but for what it is and how long it lasts it is worth it. A good product. I loved it.

Skin is intensely moisturised by penetrating and calming Cocoa, Shea & Avocadol , leaving a velvety after feel with natural vanilla fragrance.  Highly recommended for sensitive, irritated skin that needs calming.  As shea and cocoa butter melt at skin temperature, we recommend warming a dollop between your palms before applying.
