Personal Experience: you havethree colours to choose from, it is very hard to tell as on screen the colour beige-medium looks dark in real life it is really light. The bronzing powder comes in a sturdy piano black compact great to bring out on the go and has a decent size mirror. The white sponge keeps the powder transferring to the mirror. The powder is baked so it is really long lasting and doesn’t crumble a big plus for me. The colour itself failed to show up on my skin, as you can see from my swatches the powder produces a slight shimmer and works well to highlight my cheeks. As a bronzer it didn’t make my skin look tanned or bronze. I had to put a few layers on to make it show up on my face, I usually like to use a bronzer as a contour for cheeks.

I was really excited to try these products out, Milk and honey is one of my favourite scents that I love for my bath and shower products.

Both products come in squeeze tube and are both 150ml in size.  The body lotion came boxed; the ‘alva’ logo is embossed on the tube in silver. The corporate brand colours are orange and canary yellow.

Alva Naturkosmetik Milk and Honey Shower Gel are priced at £6.50. Alva Naturkosmetik Milk and Honey is priced at £8.00

I start with the shower gel

Product claims: - Pampers the body and soul providing warmth and harmony. This wonderful creamy shower and bath sensation protects the skin’s moisture level with organic aloe vera and wheat protein.

Active Ingredients:

aqua, cocamidopropyl betaine, citrus aurantium dulcis fruit water, coco glucoside, sodium lauryl glucose carboxylate, lauryl glucoside, glyceryl oleate, triticum vulgare extract, symphytum officinale extract, aloe barbadensis, glycerin, parfum, sodium phy

Verdict: - The product lathered really well on a shower puff, it is very economical I have been using the product for over a month and there’s still half the tube left. The scent is what I expected; the honey smells divine and good enough to eat. I’m surprised this was in a gel like form, usually milk and honey products are creamy looking.  My skin felt very clean, although not nourishing but it preps my skin for the body lotion.

Now onto the body lotion

Product claims: - Milk/honey body lotion pampers the body and soul

Ingredients:

aqua, helianthus annuus seed oil, polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate, simmondsia chinensis oil, butyrospermum parkii butter, carapa guaianensis, theobroma grandiflorum, symphytum officinale extract, tocopheryl acetate, algin, galactoarabinan, bisabol

Verdict: - The lotion is thin in consistency; and same with the shower gel the honey smells yummylicious.  I was pleasantly surprised that the lotion left my usually dry skin soft and supple this lasted for 24hrs. Maybe it’s because of the shea butter content. Once applied the lotion was instantly absorbed to my skin and left no greasiness. I have used 1/3 of the lotion even when I used it sparingly.

Will I repurchase? Yes to both products, both are great value for money and economical. I look forward to trying the rest of the range
