little white truths

I was first introduced to Urban Skincare Co via Lust Have It and this Repair+ Body Balm was the first item I tried from the brand.

I loved it straight away and so at the time I made use of an LHI code and bought a small sample pack, which was happily upgraded by Urban Skincare and I received this large bundle and a bunch of other products to try. Great marketing from Urban Skincare, I must say!


It's taken me a while to open this pack, however, because I wound up with a lot of face creams and cleansers from Memebox that I didn't like (so I used those on my body, just to get rid of them), and it was only a month or so ago when I was finally able to open this pack.

The shampoo and conditioner were meant for my husband, but he didn't like them (I can see why, but more on that when I review those products) so they've been sitting around for me to use once I'd got through the haircare I had open.

Anyhoo. I'll review each product in turn and then do a round-up post on the whole set.
