Dr Organic - Vitamin E Deodorant

What it claims?

An antibacterial deodorant liquid cream roll-on, extremely gentle yet highly effective providing skin care benefits to all skin types. It is based on Organic Vitamin E and Aloe Vera, Sunflower oil, Icelandic and Irish Moss. This mild and non-irritating deodorant helps neutralize unpleasant body odours and leaves the skin protected, hydrated and soothed.

What I Think?

My main two reasons for buying this were that it was pretty cheap for an organic deodorant and it smelt incredible. If you have a Holland and Barratt near you, go in and have a sniff of this , it's so nice!

So the deodorant itself, it's a  cream based roll-on ( like all roll-ons) that is free of Aluminium, SLS, Parabens and Alcohol, as well as artificial colours, fragrances and preservative. You need to remember that natural based deodorants is that they won't stop you from sweating as they're not antiperspirants. I don't think it's very good for your skin to use with chemicals to stop you from sweating, which is why I use these deodorants instead. Natural deodorants will however make you smell super nice and get rid of your sweat, so don't worry, you're not going to be walking around smelling horrible all day. The deodorants from Dr Organic all have a non-pore clogging formula and I found this very good. As it's a natural cream roll-on, on application it is wet of course and does take a little time to dry. I don't find this a problem for me personally, as I always apply deodorant after a shower, so by the time I've put on my body lotion and everything else, it's dry and fine for me to get dressed.
I found it worked well throughout the day without needing to be reapplied, but I did need to reapply it if I did some exercise. It doesn't irritate my sensitive skin and can be applied straight away after shaving with no stinging at all. But the best thing about this deodorant is the scent. I can smell it subtly throughout the day and it's so nice. Lovely, fresh and feminine, perfect!

Would I buy it again?

Yes, I would buy it again, its great for your skin and smells super nice. This price is about €5.00

Soap and Glory -Hand Food Review

Recently I've noticed that my hands have become horribly dry. They were so dry the other day that it was like walking around with sandpaper as skin.

So, I got this hand cream and tired it. First I tried one from Boots which smelt amazing but was a too greasy for my liking. Then I tried a cheapy one from Tesco which did the job but I had to wait half an hour after using it before I could touch anything as it didn't soak in very well. 

So I took myself off to Boots and went up and down the aisles looking at all of the hand creams. There were hundreds. They all claimed different things, all came in different sizes with different prices.....So I chose the pretty one. Soap and Glory's Hand Food.

Before I start with the review I have to say that this hand cream comes in two different sizes. There is 50ML for €2.50 or 125ML for €5. 

The packaging calls it an "anti greasy hand cream" and I completely agree! It's thick, creamy and dries into the skin within moments. Once it's absorbed I can get on with whatever I was doing again - no waiting half an hour for the grease to soak in to my skin. It leaves my hands feeling super soft, completely moisturised, 

Another great thing about this product is the smell! All of Soap and Glory's products smell amazing (Supercat eyeliner not included) so I didn't expect any less from this product. The packaging says it smells like "shea butter, macadamia oil and marshmallow" I don't know about you but after reading the word 'marshmallow' I was completely sold! I don't know how to describe the smell but it smells amazing.

On the packaging Soap and Glory asks "the most astonishing hand cream ever?"  yes it is!!

You can buy the 50ML tube here for €2.50 or the 125ML for €5.
