Solid Beauty Bars The Ultimate Travel Essentials

Posted on by

I adore beauty bars. None of the guilt of plastic, and all of the beauty benefits. They are perfect for traveling because they can’t explode in your bag or leak. Hurray!

Solid Beauty Bars – The Ultimate Travel Essentials

When it comes to travelling, the struggle to streamline and squeeze in all of our beauty essentials can make packing feel like a mean feat – especially with carry-on restrictions and tight luggage allowances. Hack your summer holiday packing and forgo the liquid hassle altogether with solid beauty bars from Eco Warrior.

These compact, job-specific, plastic-free, solid cleansing bars are not only kind to your skin, hair and the planet, but also help to take the stress out of packing – replacing bulky and heavy liquid bottles, you can simply pop your Eco Warrior bars in your hand luggage, without the risk of any leaking or spilling. From washing and exfoliating, to shaving and shampooing Eco Warrior has all your cleansing needs covered…in solid form. It’s time to hit the bar this summer!

Alexis Jordan wants soapy perfume

Posted on by


Alexis Jordan wants her signature scent to smell like soap.

The ‘Good Girl’ hitmaker would love to have her own signature scent but rather than a delicate flowery scent like may other celebrities choose, she wants hers to smell “fresh” like soap.

Asked what she would name her own perfume, Alexis said: “I can’t tell you that because if I come up with a great name, someone might steal it! It would smell very fresh, like soap. I like the smell of soap.”

Because Alexis is constantly on the move for work, there are a few beauty essentials that she can’t live without.

She explained: “Because I have long curly hair, a big thing for me is after I wash it, I put in this stuff that I just found. I think it’s John Frieda. It’s like root something. I forgot, but if you go in the store and see something that says roots and its John Frieda, then that’s it and it’s amazing. I love John Frieda’s products.

“I also love Aveeno exfoliating scrub. Of course you have to pack your toothbrush and toothpaste and I love Crest, so that’s a big thing for me and floss of course and I always carry around Chap Stick or lip balm or something like that and I just like Chap Stick in general. I have to always have something on my lips.”

Review: Visionary Soap {Beauty}

Posted on by

Visionary Soap Company are a Fairtrade Foundation Certified Soap and Body Care company based in Hastings. Their ingredients are ethically sourced from Palestine, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Nicaragua, The Dominican Republic, Sri Lanka and South Africa.

All their products are made with the finest vegetable oils, butters, essential oils and botanicals with no synthetic dyes or fragrances, parabens, petroleum-based ingredients, palm oil, alcohol, sodium laureth sulfate or animal products.  All products have been safety assessed and comply with current EU regulations as well as being fully certified by The Vegan Society and are cruelty-free.

So when we were asked to review some of their products, we were felt honoured and completely guilt free. Here’s our thoughts on the products:

Rosemary and Lavender Gardeners Hand Salve, £5.95

Genevieve Sibayan: At first this hand salve looks like an intimidating block of wax but it warms really quickly to the touch and melts into your skin. The fragrance is strong and ever so slightly medicinal. I’m pretty sure this means it’s good for me. A great product containing shea butter for those who don’t like the smell of shea butter but want to reap it’s benefits. Would work just as well on your elbows, knees and heels or anywhere requiring intensive moisture.

Organic Lavender Soap, £3.18

Catherine Balavage: I am not always a fan of soap. I can find it drying. However, the Organic lavender soap smells like a dream, lathers beautifully ( rare in most soaps, never mind one that is organic) The soap leaves my hands soft and cleans properly. I highly recommend it. All the visitors to my house loved it too.

Organic Lip Balm (Available in Grapefruit, Peppermint, Lemon and Orange) £2.99

GS: I rarely coo, but I did when I saw these cute little pots of lip balm. The grapefruit balm comes in a cute pink pot and all of them together looked like jelly sweets. There’s no additives here however. These contain Vitamin E and essential oils and lots of things that are good for you. The grapefruit balms are delicately fragranced and the peppermint balm leaves you with a little tingle of coolness.

CB: I also loved the little lip balms. The packaging is fun and colourful. My lips tend to dry out in bad weather and some lip balms make it even worse. This little pot of ethical heaven did the job beautifully. The Visionary Soap company may have just become one of my favourite brands.

Stockist include Oxfam, products also available from their online store.
