PUKKA

~ PUKKA TEA ~

This time of the year brings many things. Cold weather, fog, wolly socks, snuggly blankets, hot

soup and hot tea. Thank goodness for hot tea's to make me not only feel nice and warm on the inside,

but to also make me feel good from the inside! This time of the year also seems to bring sickness

and the sniffles to our whole household! Blah!

These Revitalise and Three Ginger Pukka teas have been a welcome addition to my daily routine

because they smell amazing, make me feel energized and feeling more like my old self again.

Revitalise -

This flavour is my absolute favoutite of these two because it smells incredibly comforting even before I have added water and stirred. The blend of organic cinnamon, cardamom

and ginger give it a yummy, delicious scent and flavour with a hint of organge peel, elderflower,

licorice root, sencha green tea, spearment leaf, clove bud and black peppercorn.

Brings the bounce back into your step when you are feeling low on energy and motivation

even though Pukka teas are caffine free! Pretty amazing and makes me feel great about drinking

it completely guilt free! :)

Three Ginger -
I have never been too fond of ginger until I experienced the unbearable

discomforting feeling of morning sickness. It took about a millisecond for me to decide I'd rather eat ginger by the whole root then bear another minute of feeling like all of my insides are about to come shooting out of my mouth without hesitation. No matter how horrid the taste!

(Ginger works miracles if your stomach feels uneasy.)

Over the years ginger and I have become quite friendly as I have come to really appreciate it.

This tea's scent is milder than the Revitalise but stick packs a punch when it comes to it's flavour.

With a blend of organic ginger, galangal and golden turmeric this tea is beautifully strong and

whilst I have been all snuffly and feeling rotten, this tea makes my head feel less heavy and my body

not as weak. When you can't stomach anything else, this should help. Also contains licorice root.

Back to the Lip Nourish!! Pictured above, is the lesser pigmented shade of all the flavours.
Yet the shade does in no way diminish the scent nor quality of the product!
I am obsessed with Vanilla and Cinnamon as it is a scent I grew up with. We always had it
in the house and regularly used it in cooking. So this flavour combo attracted me straight away
and smelling them for the first time mixed together bought back memories of my sister & I
making sugar and cinnamon sandwiches together after school when we were little.

The vanilla isn't as dominating as the cinnamon, yet you can still smell it slightly and
taste it more when it is on your lips as it cuts through the intensity of the cinnamon.

As someone who has always grown up having pets and being around animals, naturally
I love them and am a big believer and in complete support of companies who find alternate
ways to test their products. I am also not much into eating meat or meat products.
Although I have not ruled them completely from my diet, I consume very little and try
to nourish my body with more natural plant based foods in replace of red and white meats
as I just in general do not crave the texture or taste. So the fact that Luk Beautifood is
completely vegetarian and vegan goes with everything I believe in and am looking for in not
only my food products, but beauty products as well!

The fact lük beautifood is created completely from food and natural ingredients
and not harsh chemicals and other long term nasty products just goes to show how
much this brand cares for it's consumers and not just how much is going into their back pocket!
I am impressed by a brand who can think forwardly into the future of the beauty world.
Delivering a range of quality products the majority of the population actually
want and are looking for! Who support using clean, natural and
healthy products in and on their bodies.

This Lip Nourish contains;
Vitamins A, C & E,
Antioxidants Omega 3+6
Essential Fatty Acids from Avocado
Sesame Seeds, Jojoba, Beeswax, Cocoa Butter
& more!

I would describe this product as a clear balm packaged like a lipstick.
It feels smooth as silk on my lips. Isn't at all sticky or grainy.
It makes my lips look natural, supple and moist - but not shiny or glossy.
The balm last all day with me just having to reapply after eating or drinking.
I have also found this to be the perfect product to help protect, hydrate and keep lips
form drying out over night, so wearing this to bed has been beneficial.
I have also tested wearing this on a windy day and the harsh wind doesn't cut through it!
I must remember to have this handy with me throughout these hot Spring & Summer
months to protect my lips when I am at the beach or down by the pool. :)

Delightfully packaged in matte, crisp white, gold and yellow with slightly raised grey
writing of the flavour on the side. This generous twist balm can be purchased for
RRP: $24.95 full size. Or to get an idea and sneak peak of their range of flavours
you can order one of their Lip Nourish Tasting Plates which let's you sample each of
the seven shades for just $3.00!
