Christmas Gift Idea #2: Conscious Skincare Sweet Orange and Frangipani Bath Soak

If you missed my Christmas Gift Idea #1 you can see that here but today I have a gorgeous luxurious, organic bath soak from Conscious Skincare to talk about. In my October Favourites post I included their Sweet Orange & Frangipani Body Butter, the texture and scent is incredible and the Sweet Orange & Frangipani Bath Soak* smells just as good, perfect if you like layering up with the same scent. If you aren't familiar with Conscious Skincare, it's a British organic skin and body care brand. The products are made at the company's rural retreat in Wales and are free from chemicals, synthetics and preservatives. The brand is strongly against animal testing and is approved by Cruelty Free International and 'Leaping Bunny' certified.

Most products from Conscious Skincare come with the option of premium eco-natural, 100% recycled gift boxes and ribbon at no extra cost which isn't something many brands offer. I love the gift box, it's simple yet still festive and makes the gift seem that little bit more special. If you usually buy a prezzie for someone who loves having baths but only uses organic products, it's well worth having a look at the website. If this bath soak doesn't appeal to you, I'm sure you'll spot something that does. Unlike a lot of bath products, the scent does linger on the skin for a decent length of time and because it's free from sls, it doesn't dry out the skin.

Would you be happy to receive this on Christmas day? :)

DGJ Organics HairJuice Clarifying Shampoo, Conditioner & Berutti Oil Review.

If you like to avoid parabens and SLS in your shampoo/conditoner and you're looking for an affordable way to rid your hair of build up caused by styling products, mainly hair oil's containing silicone then you might want to read on.

HairJuice Clarifying Shampoo 250ml £5.99*: This clarifying shampoo contains mandarin essential oils and rose extracts. I love the scent, it reminds me of orange sweets and lingers on the hair all day. The lather is crazy for an SLS free shampoo! If you've used SLS free products before then you'll know it's sometimes hard to get a lather going but not with this. If you use alot of styling products or even shampoo/conditioner containing silicone your hair is often left feeling weighed down by the end of the week which is where HairJuice Clarifying Shampoo comes in. It removes every scrap of build up without sucking all the moisture out of every strand of hair. You don't only have to use it once a week though, I've been using it twice a week and each time I'm left with shiny, clean hair.

HairJuice Clarifying Conditioner 250ml £5.99*: The scent is exactly the same as the shampoo. The conditioner rinses out easily and never leaves the hair feeling weighed down which make's it perfect for girls with fine hair who struggle to find conditioner's that don't stop them being able to put some body into their hair but if you have thick, crazy hair like me it may not be enough.

Berutti Oil 150ml £7.99*: Berutti Oil is a cross between a serum and oil. It can be used on damp hair before styling/leaving to dry naturally or used to smooth the ends of the hair once dry. It contains organic argan oil to help nourish and restore healthy hair and just like the more expensive Moroccon Oil, it improves the overall look and feel of your hair instantly. I have naturally curly hair and noticed Berutti Oil helped tame any frizz and defined my curls in a soft, natural, bouncy way but if I decided to straighten my hair it looked sleek without being limp or flat and any frizz was kept to a minimum even in the drizzly rain.

If you have problems with your scalp - dry from time to time, drives you mad with itch, you'll know SLS make's the problem even worse. All DGJ products are free from this skin irritant and unlike a lot of organic hair care brands everything mentioned in this post is purse friendly.

Have you tried any of these products before?

Review: JASON Smoothing Sea Kelp Shampoo & Conditioner



A couple of weeks ago I got bored of my hair being one colour and decided it would be a smart idea to add some highlights. I love how it turned out but since then my hair has needed a more moisturising shampoo. The SLS free shampoo I've been using is still one of my favourites and probably something I'll repurchase for the rest of my life (Liz Earle Botanical Shine Shampoo) but I just felt my hair needed something a bit more. I've been trying out two different shampoo/conditioner combos, one SLS free and one which isnt.

JASON Smoothing Sea Kelp Shampoo £6.29* is free from SLS, parabens and phthalates. It cleanses my hair in the same clarifying way that all SLS free shampoo seems to but it adds a lot more moisture as its enriched with Sea Kelp, Ginseng Root & Kukui Nut Oil. If my hair is left to dry on its own after using this it looks frizzy (if you use SLS free shampoo you will know what I mean) but you can tell the hair hasnt been stripped, its just not weighed down with any nasties, and the shine it leaves behind makes your hair look so healthy like you've never used heat or even coloured treated it. It also lathers up really well which is something some SLS free shampoo can struggle with. JASON Smoothing Sea Kelp Shampoo is enriched with multi vitamins and botanical extracts - Vitamin A, C, E and the botanical extracts help to protect your hair from enviromental stressors.

JASON Smoothing Sea Kelp Conditioner £6.29* is packed with vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. It conditions the hair really well but doesnt leave build up which means I'm able to go longer between washes. My hair never feels heavy and once I've left my hair to dry naturally it still looks a bit frizzy but once I've straightened it it's completely smooth and the style stays in for days.

Each bottle is huge - 480ml and the price is so reasonable. The scent reminds me of coconut and remains on the hair untill the next wash. I havent had any irritation at all since using this shampoo/conditioner and would fully recommend it to anyone who feels their hair needs some extra moisture. If you dont really style your hair then maybe give this a miss as it doesnt leave any build up which means the hair can be a bit frizzy when left to dry naturally.

JASON Smoothing Sea Kelp Shampoo & Conditioner can be purchased here for £6.29 each

My Hair: I have long, thick, naturally wavy, colour treated hair. My scalp can be quite reactive to certain ingredients and tends to be itchy/dry if I use the wrong products. My roots get oily very quickly but my midlengths/ends are dry/damaged.
