Peppy Galore Facial Toner

Vegan Sensitive Facial TonerIMG_3434

A pump spray of toner for sensitive skin called Diva from Peppy Galore.  I got this in the June edition of The Vegan Kind monthly box.

Since this arrived a few days ago, I have been constantly using it.  You can use it as a skin toner before you apply moisturiser or as a face spritz to give you a lift.  The smell itself is lovely and uplifting (gentle rose).  I found it does a pretty good job before applying moisturiser,  my skin felt refreshed and I think it may have improved the look of my skin slightly.  Also as a face mist, I find it to be really handy, especially for late in the day when you are feeling a bit tired.  I really like this product.

Each 45gram spray is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Made in UK.  Retail price is around £9.95.   I got mine in The Vegan Kind June box.

Vegan MoisturiserIMG_3229

A jar of organic Marigold, Frankincense & Myrrh moisturiser from MU London.  MU London sent me this to try.  I am very pleased with MU London,  they have got the leaping bunny award, which means they are certified totally cruelty free.

This moisturiser is very pleasant and totally natural.  You use it very sparingly.  Can be used for face as an intense moisturiser and for hands, feet, tummy or body and is best applied to moist skin.  I have tried it on my hands and it is really lovely.  It has a butter like texture,  it soaks into your skin pretty well and feels really nice.  No nasty chemicals.

Kris D’Amour Body Treatment Butter

Vegan Body ButterIMG_1897

A tub of soothing body treatment butter with organic argan, tamanu and sea buckthorn, from Kris D’Amour.  I was sent this to try out.

This is a lovely natural body butter treatment.  It smells fresh and light, the sea buckthorn is the prominent aroma, which is pleasant.  The cream is ideal for dry skin or for people who suffer from eczema.  I do have this problem so I was pleased to try this butter.

I have found that it is really good on my skin.  Even though it is a body butter, I tried it on my hands as they do get very dry, especially at this time of year.  The butter is quite creamy, and it really felt good on my hands and they feel better for the cream.   Also great as a body butter.

Each 100ml is made with natural ingredients,  and is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  I got mine direct from Kris D’Amour.

Vegan Natural Shower Cream
heavenly mint_shower

A 100% organic natural shower gel with Mint from Heavenly Organics Skin Care.  I got this from I Choose What I Use a veggie only skin care and beauty supplier.

I really really like this shower gel,   it is more of a shower cream because it is so thick and creamy.  I like that it is 100% organic and natural.  It goes on your skin really well, really soft and creamy,  the smell is uplifting and minty.  I like that it feels fresh and not processed like you get with some other brands.  The shower cream left my skin feeling really nice.  Great for men and women.

Each 300ml bottle is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Vegan Society Approved.  Organic and hand made in Wales.  I got mine from I Choose What I Use.

GreenPeople Rejuvenating Eye Cream

Vegan Eye Cream

A rejuvenating nighttime eye cream from Green People.   The main benefits are to Nurture, Soothe and Age Reversal. The active ingredients are Baicalin which helps to maintain elasticity of delicate skin around the eyes and diminish the appearance of crows feet, and Immortelle extract which helps to reduce dark circles.    I have been using this for over a week now and I must say that I have not noticed any difference in the wrinkles by my eyes.  But I do like the cream,  it is easy to use,  you gently tap it into the skin around your eyes before bed.  Hopefully I will see some results over time.  I like that it is natural and organic.  No nasty chemicals or parabens.

Each 10ml tube is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Organic.  Not tested on animals.  Vegan and Vegetarian Society Approved.  Sold in some health shops and on line.

Greenpeople Anti Ageing Facial Oil

Vegan Anti Ageing Oil

An organic anti ageing daily facial oil from GreenPeople.  Made with Rosehip oil which is rich in omega oils and Phytolipids which helps maintain a natural barrier function of the skin.  This oil is designed to nourish, enrich and balance your skin.

I was a little worried about trying an oil on my face as I thought it might make my skin greasy,  however I was worrying about nothing.  The oil goes on really easily, you pump it out of the bottle so you get just what you need,  the oil seems to go into the skin very quickly and after a minute or so your skin feels very soft and not oily at all. I find that this worked well all day.   I found it OK with foundation on my skin so I was overall very pleased with the product.  I like that it is organic and contains no nasties like parabens,  also it is not tested on animals and has no animal ingredients.

Each 30ml bottle is suitable for vegans and vegetarians,  organic and paraben free. Made in the UK.  Sold in health shops and on line.

MuLondon Organic Face Balm

Vegan Organic Skincare

An organic lavender skin balm suitable as a facial day cream, night cream and all over skin treatment from MuLondon.  My first impression is this cream looked medicinal like something you would get specially made up for you by the herbalist.  I really enjoyed using this cream and I do think that this will be in regular use in my house.  It is a firm set cream, you just scrape out a little bit and rub in where desired.  I have used it a few times now and the results are excellent.  I do suffer from dry skin and I don’t think my skin has felt better for ages.  It really works and it is not greasy,  i have used it on my face which is very sensitive to new products and it worked lovely, my skin feels really soft and not dry. I even caught Paul putting a bit on his hands and even he likes it. I can really recommend this product.  I also like they have gone to the trouble of getting Vegan Society Approval, Vegetarian Society Approval and has the Peta symbol on there too.

Each 60ml tub is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Cruelty Free.  Organic.  Made with lavender, shea butter and jojoba oils.  Sold on line for £9 or £15 depending on the size.

Please note that my reviews are always honest and unbiased, however I feel it only right to point out that MuLondon did supply this product for me to review

Borlind Natural Concealer

Vegan Makeup Concealer

A natural liquid concealer from Borlind.  I like this type of concealer as it hides problem areas of the face like dark spots and blemishes. You can also use it to highlight your brows or around your eyes.  When you first open the pack it does take ages to get the concealer out,  you have to twist and twist,  but then it flows fine after that.  It does offer a good level of coverage and you can build up layers if necessary.  I like to use it over the top of foundation and blend it in with the little brush and then fingers.  I like that it is made using natural ingredients.

Each 1,5 pen is made using natural ingredients.  Vegan friendly.  I bought mine on line for £13. Made in Germany.

Green People Vita Min Fix Skin Care

Vegan Anti Ageing Cream

A 24 hour vitamin face cream from Green People.  This is my new favourite skincare product.  I really have enjoyed using this cream for the last few days,  my facial skin has been quite dry so I wanted to give it a boost.  I have found that the cream really holds moisture onto your face.  It has a medium texture to it so it goes on and then takes a couple of moments to soak into your skin.  Then it leaves you skin feeling really lovely and soft, but not greasy. The cream has a pleasant smell which is delicate.  Designed for day and night use.   Made with organic ingredients in the UK.

Each 50ml bottle is Vegan Society Approved and Vegetarian Society Approved.   Free from nasty chemicals made using natural ingredients.  Sold in some health food shops and on line.

Vegan Skin Lotion

A daily skin moisturiser made with lavender essential oils from dr.organic.  I have used this lotion for a while and it is quite pleasant.  It does moisturise the skin very well and left my skin feeling really good. I like the smell, but it would not be everyone’s cup of tea,  because the lavender smell is to me a bit old fashioned.  It is made with shea butter and cocoa butter.

Eahc 200ml tube is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Paraben free. No artificial colours, fragrances or harsh preservatives.  Sold in Holland and Barrett.

Simple Skin Care

Vegan Skin Care

It is worth knowing that Simple a big brand of skin care products offer a large range that contain no animal derived ingredients.

I have over the years tried a few different types from the face cream to hand cream.  They do hand wash and everything you could imagine including anti wrinkle cream.

Sometimes I use their body wash/shower gel,  they do a few different varieties, some are clear and some have a creamy texture.   I find them quite pleasant to use and they do not seem to irritate my skin.  They do not use heavy chemicals.

Always check the label and look for the “contains no animal derived ingredients” as some of their products are not OK for vegans.

Simple products are sold in supermarkets, chemists, Superdrug and most smaller grocery shops.

Dr Organic Lavender Body Wash

Vegan Body Wash

From the bioactive skincare range at dr.organic a lavender body wash for the shower or bath.  Made with the essential oil lavender and aloe vera juice.  I quite liked this shower gel,  it smells fresh and clean and felt nice on my skin.  I found that it was not drying like some gels. I like that it is free from Parabens and not tested on animals.

Lavender can smell a bit old fashioned but I have always liked it,  because it reminds me of when I was little.  My sister and I used to make little cloth pockets and sew dried lavender flowers from the garden into the pocket.  These made nice little drawer scents. So using this body wash brings back some nice memories for me.

Each 250ml bottle is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Paraben free, Organic and not tested on animals.  Sold in Holland and Barrett.

Vegan Hair & Body Gel

Handmade happy hippy mellow yellow hair and body gel with freshly squeezed grapefruit from Lush.  I have only tried this as a body wash but I like it,  the zingy citrus smells seem to wake you up a bit.  The gel is a really good body wash, perfect for the shower,  it left my skin feeling clean and fresh,  the gel did not dry my skin.  I also like that it is vegan society approved.

Each 250gram bottle is suitable for vegans, handmade in England. I bought mine in a Lush shop on the High Street,  priced at £5.95.
