GreenLand - Fruit Emotions & Fruit Extracts Review*



Hello lovelies! Hope you are all doing well. I have a bunch of review posts to get through, so do keep a look out for those in the upcoming weeks.
Today's post is a review for Greenland products; They're a natural bath and body company dedicated to using the most organic ingredients within their products.

Review of - Fruit Emotions Grapefruit-Ginger Gel mask, Coconut-Tangerine Body butter and Fruit extracts papaya body & massage oil

All comments and opinions are 100% my own and I've not been paid to say them.

----------------------------------------------
Fruit Emotions//Grapefruit-Ginger Gel Mask test and thoughts


  • A 10ml product that should be used within 12 months of purchase.
  • Mask's purpose is to vitalize and hydrate the skin and bring strength to the surface; it is an intensive product.
  • The grapefruit was very refreshing for the skin, I could literally feel the product working while the ginger had an uplifting scent to it.
  • Because I have combination skin which is also sensitive, the more I left the mask on, the more I felt it tingle which is why I left this mask on for around 10 minutes at the most.
  • There were slight apricot seed pits within the gel, this felt almost exfoliating when removing with warm water, which is where I noticed my drier areas to be reduced!
  • Personally this wouldn't be a face mask that I'd use on a weekly basis, but more once a month for an extra skin boost; I would find this product to work particularly well when feeling run down with a cold, because of the ginger being such a positive impact to the senses.

----------------------------------------------
Fruit Emotions//Body Butter Coconut-tangerine test and thoughts


  • A 100ml product that should be used within 12months of purchase.
  • I'm obsessed with using body butters, and I must admit that a coconut scent has been the top of my list for any type of moisturizer; with this body butter, the added tangerine wasn't barely as noticeable as I would have thought, it did however give the scent a zing to it!
  • The consistency of the body butter is slightly thick, but not overly greasy; when applied to the skin it feels light and easy to blend even on the driest of patches!
  • I used this product after being in the shower, it absorbed into the skin like a dream which goes to show my skin was in need of hydrating so it was a hero body butter!
  • It is a great travel sized product, but of course I would hope to see it in an even bigger size if it has not been created already, in the future! I'm keen to find out how the other scents match up from the fruit emotions range.





----------------------------------------------
Fruit Extracts//Papaya Body & Massage Oil test and thoughts


  • A 100ml sized product that should be used within 12months of purchase.
  • This is a screw top item which when opened there is a small hole in the lid, I found this much easier because I was able to pour a better amount than it all coming out at once!
  •  Now personally, I've not really smelt Papaya before so I wasn't sure on whether or not i'd like the aroma, but I was pleasantly surprised with the sweetness of the scent it almost reminded me of a juicy lime, very exotic and realistic. 
  • I suffer with dry skin at times so I was interested on how my skin would benefit from using an oil, most of the time I've used a body butter or moisturizing cream so this was an interesting experience for me! I found the oil light and not at all runny, it didn't leave the skin greasy or sticky in texture but very smooth and soft with the scent lingering for a long time which I found pleasant!
  • Everything within this oil was natural, with 100% organic extracts so it felt pure and not at all artificial.

GreenLand Natural Gifts For Christmas!*



Greendland Raspberry travel set Review

Hello Lovelies! Tis the season to be jolly and of course planning what to get for loved ones as well as writing our own wish lists! 
I love purchasing sets for family, and I was lucky to hear about Greenland Beauty which are a company who provide a wonderful range of goodies, that are all Natural and organic skin care.

I was surprised to get the opportunity to review one of their fruit extracts gift sets, the glorious Raspberry set which contains four travel sized products.



All comments and opinions are 100% my own and I've not been paid to say them.

Initial Thoughts
  • The packaging was perfect for reusable purposes, personally I'd usually take my toiletries away in a separate bag which would usually be a cloth texture; But with this seal lock bag its a better alternative if for instance something was to spill within it can easily be cleaned up!
  • The product packaging is very simple yet states the obvious of the scent and the collection, including all relevant information on the product such as its contents amount and ingredients.
  • The selection of products I found was ideal when you're going either to someone's to stay over or even take on a break away! There is a shower gel to freshen up, a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, a body cream to soften your skin and a fruity hand soap.
  • I found that the actual raspberry scent of the products wasn't overpowering, it was a soft light scent which I feel is perfect for subtle skin care.
  • I think a set like this is adorable for a Christmas gift, especially for those who haven't tried any of this range before. Also with being organic you can't go wrong with kind to skin ingredients!

Natures Healthbox - Avalon Organics Shampoo & Conditioner Review *




Today's post is featuring a wonderful new company that is called, Natures Healthbox, they specialise in limited to organic, eco-friendly and natural products from skin products to home cleaning! 
I had the opportunity as a blogger to experience the Natures Healthbox experience by reviewing products that can be purchased through their site. I was kindly sent both of these hair care products, which were received nicely packaged with bright tissue paper and green shredding which really reflected the organic and eco theme so well!  

Both of these hair products are the Avalon Organics brand, the shampoo and conditioner both focus on giving the hair more shine naturally with a Ylang Ylang base and enriched with mica minerals, babassu oil, plus vitamin E, panthenol and arginine.


Both bottles are 325ml (11 FL OZ) and clearly mark how the product will help to improve the hair, directions of use and a list of ingredients but it's also noted that they don't contain artificial colours, synthetic fragrances or parabens. With this is mind i was very eager to try them out! My natural hair colour is a dark blonde, but with having highlights etc i have focused a lot on coloured hair shampoos and conditioners. Sometimes i feel my hair can get quite dry and dull at times, i used the shampoo twice, made sure it was thoroughly massaged in and rinsed throughout, to then add the conditioner from the roots up and left it to absorb efficiently.  

The scent was indeed something i wasn't too sure of, but i grew to like it over time! from drying my hair i instantly saw a difference, it was much more glossy, and the blondness enhanced so much more; it made my hair feel so much healthier due to the friendly ingredients within.

I've had so much positive thoughts from using these products and i'll be sure to check out the rest of their eco-friendly line!



These products are £5.99 each which i think for the amount of product you get it's a reasonable price! Please check out their brand new website - http://www.natureshealthbox.co.uk/
