I was lucky enough to be sent the Girls with Attitude Rock on Beauty Collection to review recently. The collection is made with 99.5% organic ingredients so there are no hidden nasties inside.

mailgooglecom What is it? Three different balms: Calm Balm Lavender, Beauty Balm Rose and Fresh Feet Peppermint. They all come in individual handbag sized pots.

Who’s testing it? Me - keeping this one to myself.

In use – Massaging the Calm Balm into my temples, after a busy day with my two year old, did bring an instant feeling of peace. The balm smells lovely and because of its size it could easily be carried around and fished out when the stresses of the day get to you.

Rose is one of my favourite fragrances so I love the scent of the Beauty Balm. It’s an effective moisturiser and skin softener. The suggestion is that you use it on lips, hands, elbows and knees. It works well on all these areas, but it won’t last very long if you use if it as an all purpose moisturiser.

Fresh Feet does what it says on the tin. My feet felt soothed and pampered plus they smelt fresh and minty. A real treat for the feet.

Any negatives? The balms come in handy handbag sized containers so they are very portable, but obviously they don’t contain a lot of the products. This is fine with the Calm Balm as you only need a little at a time and the tin should last well for even the most stressed. I wasn’t sure that such small containers were as suitable for the Beauty Balm and Fresh Feet. I used Fresh Feet three times and the tin was half empty. If you use the Beauty Balm as a lip salve, the container size is fine, but if you use it for larger areas it will quickly run out. However, if you’re packing light for a short break away or a festival weekend, these balms could really be what you need to take you through.

Price and Availability? Price from £9.75 and available from ASOS or Amazon.

Overall I loved the products, but wasn’t sure that the sizes were appropriate in all cases. However, the packaging has a great slightly funky look and would look good in any handbag.
