Going Bananas!

Banana Hair Mask - The Body Shop


I was requested by one of my lovely readers last week to do a review of the Banana Hair Mask from The Body Shop. This is a fairly new product from The Body Shop, however, the actual Banana hair range has been around for many years. Specifically designed for normal to dry hair this nourishing hair mask is designed to be a once a week treatment to help your hair reach a healthy state. 

For years I had always suffered from slightly oily hair so anything like this I would have stayed away from. However, after many years of bleaching my hair, it became damaged and dry, so after deciding to let my natural colour come through I needed something to help the extremely dry ends of my hair. 

I use this product about once a week on one of the days I am washing my hair. After shampooing and conditioning, I use a hazelnut size of the mask and massage it into the ends of my hair (I don't use it at the root's as I get greasy hair there but if you don't I'd recommend using all over) and I leave it for 5 minutes before rinsing it. Immediately after coming out of the shower you can tell that your hair feels a lot softer and healthier and has a gorgeous banana smell (that's if you like bananas). 

The mask is made of community trade bananas and is 100% vegan, silicone free and cruelty-free. It is available online here and instore at The Body Shop for £12. Overall I'd give this product a 5/5 as it leave's hair feeling moisturized and soft. If you are unsure about using a hair mask The Body Shop also do a Banana shampoo and conditioner for normal to dry hair. 

Also if you haven't yet The Body Shop have a petition to get animal testing banned on cosmetic products worldwide which you can sign here!

The power of Hemp!

Hemp Body Butter - The Body Shop One of The Body Shop's most popular ranges is their Hemp products. It is renowned for its intense moisturisatio n powers, which led to the company selling a Hemp hand cream every 8 seconds last year. The community trade Hemp seed oil inside the Hemp products has been sourced from France since 2015. Interestingly The Body Shop has to keep this location top secret as the crops could be mistaken for other purposes.  It took me a long time personally to get over the initial smell of the Hemp product's as they are particularly strong but it's amazing performance as a moisturiser simply outweighs any other cons. With the bipolar weather at the moment, I find that my skin can get quite dry especially as I shower a lot (twice a day don't judge) and shave my legs a lot. The result of this is extremely dry annoyingly itchy legs! I needed a product that I could apply once in the evening that was going to deeply nourish my skin.  Afte

Cheap and Cruelty-free!

Superdrug's B. Pure Micellar Water  A lot of people make the assumption that buying cruelty-free products is a lot more expensive and that can be the case especially with brands such as Burts Bee's , Lush etc. However, a lot of affordable brands have made their own products cruelty-free such as Waitrose , Marks and Spencer and my personal favourite SUPERDRUG ! I love Superdrug with all my heart (apart from their loyalty cards, literally what do I get out of that thing?) their products are ridiculously affordable and are actually good! All Superdrugs own products have the leaping bunny logo and often are vegetarian and vegan.   For a year or two, I have been using the Garnier Micellar water for sensitive skin. Unfortunately, Garnier is owned by L'oreal who do test on animals, therefore, it was time for me to find an alternative. It's a shame because when you find a product that really works for you it becomes a staple part of your skin routine but I had to sti

Summer Glow

Solait Gradual Tan Lotion Summers coming which means the legs are out. Which also means I don't want to blind people with my shockingly pale skin. Don't get me wrong I don't want to look like a satsuma, I just like to give my leg's a glow as they never catch the sun.  I'm always wary of using tanning products as I don't want to look orange, I hate the upkeep,  I don't want streaky lines and also I don't really mind being pale. However gradual tan always seemed appealing to me as it sounded easy to maintain and do quickly.  If you have read some of my blogs you already know I love Superdrug and their products so I decided to give their gradual tan lotion a whirl. I picked the medium tan option which I've been using for a few weeks now and the results have been amazing! The colour isn't too dark, it doesn't leave any streaky marks and it's so easy to use! I use this every morning or evening on my legs depending on what I'm
