Mummy post alert!
A month or so I was approached
by Mustela to review some baby products. I’ve been using their products on Emma
since she was 3 weeks old. We tried everything and her skin was so sensitive and
kept having reactions. I was recommended this by my sister in law she used it
with my nephew when he was born. I searched high and low as they are hard to
find in the UK. I found a local chemist that stock them and I haven’t looked
back. When they spoke to me a collaboration I was super excited as I’ve always
bought the same products.
Let me start by
saying I was so shocked at how much they actually sent me! Most products were full size.
1. Baby
perfume, £12.50
I was so excited to try this!
I remember picking it
up from post office and spraying it all over her straight away. (yup, I’m that
kinda girl that opens packages in the car, I can never wait till I’m home!). It’s
just the most perfect baby scent you’ll
ever smell. If you have ever used any of their products they smell heavenly. The smell
is so light and not tough on their little button noses. I got many compliments
on how good she smelt. I will be buying this over and over it’s a sweet
reminder of those new born days.
2. Baby
Oil, £7.95
I’m not a big fan of
baby oil, I just hate the way it feels greasy on the skin and takes forever
to dry. This one is slightly quicker on the drying side. It’s done wonders to
her thighs Emma has very dry patches on her legs I think it has a lot to do
with her clothes rubbing and sweat as I notice it more after a nap. It has
helped calm it down when it’s very bad. Overall I don’t think I will be buying
this myself as I personally don’t like oils. I think this product would be
perfect for baby massage the smell is lovely too.
3.
Baby wipes, £7.49
I LOVED these wipes.
I’m
so fussy when it comes down to wipes for her, as a baby I used water wipes and
then moved to pampers and basically used that since. These just felt nice and
the correct wetness if that makes sense? If you’re a mum you know what I mean. I
have gone out and bought these, but the price tag just isn’t purse friendly, I go
through far too many wipes a week.
4.
Crème Change 1 2 3, £7.00
This
was the only product I got in travel size, I have used this since she was
little so it’s a good size to through in my handbag when we are out. I love
this stuff and use it with every nappy change. We’ve been very lucky she’s
never had a bad nappy rash, the ones she has had clears up within a few hours. LOVE
LOVE LOVE it.
5. Skin
Refresher, £5.95
I really
wanted to love this, I thought it would be perfect for after lunch or dinner
when I want to make her smell nice. BUT this is so strong I know I kept going
on about how amazing their scent is but I think this is a tad bit to strong. I also
noticed her skin went very dry after a few uses. I have however started using
it diluted with water to refresh her bed hair in the mornings.
Overall:
Anyone
that knows me knows I will recommend Mustela products to anyone, even if I run
out of her bits and buy some to get by I find I will be running to the chemist
within a couple of days. Nothing comes close. It’s pricey compared to a few
brands out there, but you get what you pay for. A little goes a long way!

is the smell of a baby”
