LUSH Cosmetics Solid Jungle Conditioner (Old Formula) - Review

LUSH Cosmetics are highly against animal testing and use only ethical ingredients. All of their products are handmade and are 100% vegetarian-friendly, not all are vegan-friendly, so make sure you look out for the Vegan Society Approved stamp!

A solid conditioner packed with tropical fruit, oils and cocoa butter to calm your mane. Made from a cocoa butter base, this is full of fresh figs, kumquats and passion fruits to add shine and hydrate hair. It's also naked and self-preserving. LUSH mash fresh bananas and avocados into this base to condition the hair. Just stroke the bar directly down wet hair a few times; a little goes a long way.

It's taken me so long to review this Solid Jungle Conditioner from LUSH Cosmetics, that the product now has a new formula and a different design! This really isn't one of my favorite LUSH products and I may have to call it my worse. I found product very messy to use and I felt that it left my hair feeling knotty afterwards. My only love for this product is that I love the smell of it, it's fresh and fruity and the scent stays in your hair all day long. After trying this product I wasn't thinking of repurchasing it as I didn't get along with it, but now it has a new formula I may just have to try it out.

Veeda's Natural Cotton Ultra-Thin Regular Pads & Natural Cotton Regular Tampons - Review*

We believe that natural feminine care products that are better for your body,  better for your health and better for our environment shouldn’t have to cost more.  Sounds simple right? Problem is a lot of conventional brands are made with synthetic materials and contain hard to pronounce, scary to think about putting in or on your body chemicals, dyes or fragrances! At Veeda, we are committed to making all-natural feminine care products that are healthy, effective and price-friendly and also making them available to women everywhere, even if they can’t afford them through our social mission. Unlike other natural brands, we are proud to be able to offer premium products without the premium price.

I was looking through my emails and I had surprisingly received an email from Sandra asking whether I'd be interested in reviewing a few of Veeda's feminine care products. I was kindly sent a few samples of their Natural Cotton Ultra-Thin Regular Pads and their Natural Cotton Regular Tampons to try out. 

Veeda's range is the cheapest, yet natural and still good quality brand that I've come across so far! All of their products are made without chemicals, synthetics or dyes and they're whole range is biodegradable, hypo-allergenic and fragrance free. All of their cotton is prepared using oxygen-based cleansing agents for a totally chlorine, dioxin, and pesticide free product.

Their Natural Cotton Ulta-Thin Regular Pads are described as being engineered for maximum absorption and unparalleled comfort. With their unique blend of highly absorbent cellulose fluff and their furrowed design to trap liquids, Veeda's Towels and Liners are particularly effective for heavy flows. Their oxygen cleansing (no bleach, ever!), "silk soft" coversheet, and anatomically-designed shape make Veeda Pads and Liners body-friendly and safe. When I first saw the pads I'd loved how slim and compacted the packaging looked and thought these will fit into bags nicely! I found the Ultra-Thin Regular Pads to be comfortable throughout the day and even though these pads are described as ultra-thin (which you might worry about), I didn't have any leaks whilst using them which is always a bonus.

Their Natural Cotton Regular Tampons are said to provide the comfort and reliability you value without compromising your health or our precious environment. Free of chemicals, synthetic fibers, additives and pesticides, you can be sure that only the softest, purest, most hypoallergenic material on earth comes in contact with your skin. The Regular Tampons were a little difficult to insert for me as I'm used to using an applicator when I do decide to use a tampon. Even though it took a little long to insert I found them comfortable to wear after they were in use correctly and they didn't leak during the day. I haven't tried these whilst sleeping though as I prefer to use my Moon Cup during the night due to how comfortable and practical I find it to be instead of tampons.

Benecos Natural Nail Polish in Peach Sorbet - Review*

For a long time, natural cosmetics had a bland, generic look, limited product choices and, generally, high prices. However, this is no longer the case because at Benecos we offer bright, modern, cruelty-free products all at affordable prices. Our products are natural and organic and our make-up range is filled with a variety of colours, so say goodbye to dull and boring and hello to the vibrant and dynamic world of Benecos colour cosmetics! The Benecos range is BDIH certified except the happy nails nail polish range which is now free from 8 harmful chemicals (toluene, formaldehyde, camphor, phthalates, parabens, silicones, TPHP and colophony).

We are continually developing our products to ensure effectivity and results to bring you the best natural and organic products possible. Our team are constantly on the lookout for the newest make-up trends to make sure our cosmetic collection remains modern and fresh.

Benecos Natural Nail Polish, Peach Sorbet is a beautiful on-trend pastel creamy peach shade reminiscent of hot summer days eating sorbets. No base coat is needed with Benecos Nail Varnish but for even longer-lasting chip-free nails finish with a coat of our Nail Polish in Crystal.

I've never really been one for nail art or anything like that, but I do like to take care of my nails. The second product I liked the look of to review from Mypure this month, was this Benecos Nail Polish in Peach Sorbet. With nail colours, I've always preferred darker reds, pinks and everything in between as I think that's what suits my nails best. I tend to steer clear of light colours though as I can't cope with applying so many layers to get a good outcome. So I was a little disappointed with this colour as I thought it looked dark enough to skip all the layers. I ended up needing two or more layers of the product, and as you can see from my photos above I may have needed more. This was a shame as I really like the Peach Sorbet colour as I find it really pretty and Spring-like. Besides this colour, I actually have quite a few shades that I'm in love with and use quite often from Benecos' range so I think it's about finding that perfect shade for you.

Lavera SOS Anti Blemish Control Spot Treatment - Review*

For over 25 years, Lavera has manufactured all natural skincare and cosmetics to the highest quality standards. Using herbal ingredients, certified organic whenever possible, Lavera products are all formulated without synthetic preservatives, colours or fragrances, developed to be effective yet gentle for sensitive skin, and safe for you, your family and the environment.

Effectively reduces skin imperfections. The lavera SOS Blemish Control provides immediate results. The redness of spots is reduced and skin is calmed. Its concentrated formulation with zinc and natural salicylic acid from willow bark extract minimizes blemishes, clears up spots, fights bacteria and helps prevent new eruptions. The transparent gel is easy to apply and is ideal for when you are out and about.

I've suffered from spots for as long as I can remember, so the first product I choose to review from Mypure this month was this SOS Anti Blemish Control Spot Treatment from Lavera. The tube itself that the product comes in is a handy size to take away with you as it's small and compact. I also like that the item has a fine nib to help apply the product directly to any blemishes without it going everywhere and wasting any of product. The product itself is a clear liquid and when dried it creates a thin see able barrier over your blemish, because of this I prefer to apply before I go to sleep so that no one else can see this! I found that the product helped reduce redness and that it calmed my blemishes down quicker than without applying the gel. Overall I'm quite happy with this little item and it's now part of my night time routine.
