When I was asked to do a review of some pieces from The Jewellery People, I was thrilled. There were so many things on the website that I was interested in and it took me a long time (seriously!) to pick what I wanted. Big thanks to the people over at TheJewelleryPeople.com!

Each piece came in a nice box with a magnetic closure and their logo in silver type etched on top (pictured above).


Slim Silver Curb Chain - 0.5mm (£7.99)
Information from The Jewellery People:
The simple chain glistens wonderfully in the light adding chic shine to all your outfits. It is ideal for smaller pendants and comes in lots of different lengths to suit your look.

Length Options:
35.0cm (13.8")
40.7cm (16.0")
46.0cm (18.1")
50.0cm (19.7")


Normally a chain wouldn't really impress me because I think that pendants are what make a necklace, but I'm a fan of this one. It's really well made, though I find that to be a trend among The Jewellery People's jewellery. My one and only complaint is that it's too short. I'm the one to blame for that though, I should have ordered a longer length.

Perfect for: smaller pendants
Overall Grade: A


3 Diamond Silver Pendant (£8.99)
Information from The Jewellery People:
This silver pendant has a simple geometric design and a bright polish that really lights up your look. Each pendant is finely handcrafted from solid silver by our own silversmiths. Simple and chic, this silver pendant makes a delightful gift for any occasion.

Length: 2.5cm (1.0")


I don't know why, but I love geometric jewellery! "Simple and chic" is right. This is one of my favorite new pieces. I don't think there's anything bad to say about about this pendant. I especially love that the hoop to add this to a chain is part of the pendant, right on the back of it.

Perfect for: date night
Overall Grade: A+


Duo Spiral Silver Pendant (£8.99)
Information from The Jewellery People:
The flowing curves of this pendant highlight its beautiful shine and really light up our look. Finely crafted from solid silver, this versatile silver pendant looks gorgeous with any outfit.

Length: 3.0cm (1.2")


Isn't this just the cutest? It's the perfect size to brighten up any outfit. I love this pendant with a sundress. Again, there's nothing negative to say about it!

Perfect for: spring and summer wear
Overall Grade: A+


Polished Ankh Silver Pendant (£9.99)
Information from The Jewellery People:
With all the allure of ancient Egypt, this superb Silver Ankh is a beautiful addition to your collection. With high shine and attractive design, you'll love wearing this lovely piece out with friends.

Length: 3.0cm (1.2")


This is my all time favorite. I can't tell you HOW EXCITED I was to see this pendant on The Jewellery People's website. It looks just like the one from my old necklace that I needed to throw out a few years ago because it was old and gross. My old necklace was made from a cheap material and I'm so happy to have this as a replacement. I know that this piece will look good for a years and years to come (and it won't turn my neck green)! Hooray!

Perfect for: all the time, always
Overall Grade: A+

All of the pieces I was gifted are such great quality. I highly suggest everyone at least checking out The Jewellery People's website, if not grabbing a few pieces of their own. With the quality and prices of everything, it's definitely worth it.

Spoiler alert: I adore these necklaces.




Strawberry Necklace (£8.00)
Feeling fruity! This classic strawb necklace is perfect for a cute and fun look. Featuring a realistic strawberry on a delicate chain for a juicy look.

Pendant - 5cm; Necklace – 22cm


This necklace looks like a gummy strawberry! It's great when I want to add a bit more color to my outfit, plus it's perfect for spring. I think the one tiny thing I would change is not adding a jump ring to the top of the pendant cos the strawberry doesn't always lie flat, but it's a super easy fix if it becomes bothersome. It's an awesome necklace either way!

→Overall Grade: A



Terry's Chocolate Orange Necklace (£8.00)
There's a segment for everyone now with this deliciously chocolatey chocolate orange necklace for a fully original look! Featuring a very chocolate orange segment on a delicate chain.

Pendant – 6cm; Necklace – 21.5cm


I think this might be one of my favorite necklaces. Seriously. Terry's Chocolate Oranges are like my favorite candy and Kate does an amazing job replicating the chocolate segments! I can't find anything wrong with this one. It looks so much like the real thing!

→ Overall Grade: A+

Cocopomme is a fantastic handmade jewellery company that I think everyone should check out. All of their pieces are totally adorable... Plus, they offer worldwide shipping (and free shipping within the UK)!
A few of my favorites are the Kiwi Gateaux Ring, Liquorice All Sorts Charm Bracelet (featured in the top picture), Beans on Toast Necklace, and Jammie Dodger Pearl Necklace.

Keep an eye out for an exciting interview with Kate, the talented & creative mind behind Cocopomme, coming later this week!

Review: STEAMCREAM*

review, steamcream, moisturizer, purpure, kitsch recommended

Last month I was approached by someone who offered me a chance to try out a product called STEAMCREAM. I had heard some really good things about STEAMCREAM before and was really interested to try it out, so of course I said yes and I am so glad I did. Before I tell you what I think, let me share with you a rundown of STEAMCREAM!

review, steamcream, moisturizer, purpure, kitsch recommended

Concept

STEAMCREAM represents the latest concept in skincare. Freshly handmade using high-quality, natural ingredients that are fused together by a shot of steam. This unique method makes the cream very lightweight, providing long-lasting hydration for the face. The texture also makes it a perfect nourishing treat for your body and hands too.

STEAMCREAM is handmade in the UK and Japan with fresh, traceable ingredients. It’s super-moisturizing, sinks deep down instantly and revives your skin straight away. It makes your skin simply the best it can be, naturally.

Our beautiful, eco-friendly limited edition tins are designed by us but we do also enjoy working with other inspiring designers to spice things up.

Why Steam?

We use our unique STEAM process because it makes a naturally effective, lightweight emulsion that your skin can instantly absorb.

It’s STEAMCREAM’s unique STEAM process that makes our cream much more effective on the skin. The force of the STEAM fuses the ingredients instantly - holding them together in a very gentle and loose emulsion. When it touches your skin, the naturally moisturizing ingredients and pure, calming essential oils are released from the light emulsion so they can sink past the surface reaching the areas they are needed fast. Your skin will feel intensively moisturized and softer for longer.

By using such a simple process, we can invest in natural materials such as orange flower water, oatmeal and vegetable glycerin to hydrate your skin. Almond and jojoba oils, with moisturizing cocoa butter, soften the skin’s surface.

Ethics

We want to make excellent quality skincare available to everyone by using beautiful natural materials and reducing packaging to a minimum.

By formulating an effective face cream that's light enough to use on your body and hands, we can reduce the number of products you need to keep your skin in great condition.

We use the minimum amount of preservatives so that the skin's natural balance of flora can be protected. Low preservative levels also help STEAMCREAM to biodegrade easily.

We use materials that are produced sustainably.
All our high quality raw materials are vegan and STEAMCREAM is approved by the Vegan Society.
We use the minimum amount of preservatives so that the skin's natural balance of flora can be protected. Low preservative levels also help STEAMCREAM to biodegrade easily.
Our packaging can be recycled, but we hope that everyone will want to keep it and reuse it.
We constantly look for ways to reduce our energy use, in manufacture, transport and sales.
Where we produce STEAMCREAM in the UK, we compost all organic waste, recycle all plastic and burn all wood in our biomass boiler.
We give our business to suppliers who respect our environment, and the animals and people living in it.
We have a strict no-animal testing policy.
We will not buy from any company that tests or funds tests on animals at all, even if their tests do not involve the ingredients we use. This way, we hope to encourage suppliers to look for alternative methods.
As we grow, we want to use our buying power to drive positive change.

TL;DR

→ $20 for 75ml
→ STEAMCREAM is an amazing product that you can use as a face moisturizer as well as on your hands and body.
→ It's 100% vegan and not tested on animals!
→ Won the CEW (UK) Award for Best Everyday New Skincare and Pure Beauty Award for Best Design & Packaging.
→ STEAMCREAM is long-lasting, lightweight, and extremely moisturizing.
→ STEAMCREAM offers free shipping worldwide!
→ The tin I chose was Purpure (for anyone interested).

Ratings

→ Consistency: 9/10
(I really like that it has a thinner consistency, much like a facial moisturizer. I feel like it's easier to work into the skin and if I need to wash my hands not too long after application, I don't get that horrible slimy feeling like I do with my normal lotion.)
→ Fragrance: 4/10
(I'm actually not a fan of the scent, but I don't like lavender, oatmeal, or chamomile so it would make sense. My husband really likes it and honestly, I can look past it because I like the product so much. Plus, I'm getting used to the scent more and more each time I apply.)
→ Size of Product for the Cost: 8/10
(Normally I would want more product for $20, but I'm used to lotions that are normally found in the drugstore. I think for the quality of product and the great packaging, it is worth the money.)
→ Performance 10/10
(The product definitely held up and supported all of the company's claims.)
→ Overall Grade: A

Recommended: if you have any dry skin or dry patches on your hands and/or body, if you want an all-in-one moisturizer, if you have dry skin on your face. (I would not recommend this as a facial moisturizer if you have oily skin. I tried it out and found that it made my face greasier than it would be if I had used my regular moisturizer.)

Would I purchase this with my own money? Yes!
