After my previous pink and blue posts we are now moving onto green! I’m
so unimaginative, I hate coming up with the titles for these posts! Anyway,
here are my favourite green (or packaged green) products!
Garnier Fructis Strength and Shine Fortifying Shampoo
I have been using this shampoo for years now and when I just want a
real good clean it’s still what I reach for! It lathers up well (full of
sulphates!) and smells lovely and my hair always feels fresh and clean after
using it! I always have one of these to hand! The best thing about it is its £1
in Poundland!
I’ve had this bottle for about two years and it’s still going strong!
This is my favourite thing to wash my brushes with (I used to use shampoo) as
it’s so lightweight, lathers up well and gives such a good deep clean! It’s a very
watery consistency so some product does go down the plughole when you pour it
out if you’re not careful but the bottle it massive and it’s lasted me ages!
Boots Essentials Eye Makeup Remover Gel
While I wouldn’t recommend this as an eye makeup remover if you wear
waterproof mascara or heavy eye makeup, it works so well for me as a morning
eye cleanse and takes off anything I’ve missed the night before while being
cooling and refreshing! It’s so affordable too and really gentle!
I got this in a set of masks last Christmas I think and it’s lasted me
such a long time! I use this at least once a week when my skin is feeling a
little dehydrated and it feels so luxurious! It works overnight to replace
moisture and I find I always wake up with plumper hydrated skin! I’m nearly finished
this tube and definitely will replace it! It also smells amazing!
I’ve gone through a few of these in the past then didn’t bother
repurchasing as I couldn’t see much of a difference in my skin. I still don’t, but
I may have needed to reach a certain amount to get a free gift or something so
of course I filled my basket! I usually use this in the morning if I’m not
using Serozinc and I just find it to be a really refreshing step in my routine
that helps to wake me up. I love the smell (main ingredients include grape,
orange blossom, rose, mint and rosemary) so although it’s not a necessity for
me it’s still a product I enjoy using!
This has to be my favourite toner ever! It’s an exfoliating toner that
dissolves dead skin cells helping to reveal fresh cells underneath. I find it
really gentle and use it daily and its one of very few products that I see a noticeable
difference in my skin with! It looks a lot more even, clearer and smoother and
I couldn’t be without this now! It also featured in a repurchases post here!
Essie Absolutely Shore
Another perfect pastel shade from Essie and one of the the only green
shades I have! I actually think this is now discontinued L but it’s described as a “sea foam green with a cream
finish”. Again, it’s another nail polish I like to wear when I have a tan as it
just makes it look 10x better!
Ribbands
I have become addicted to these bobbles since I first got my hands on
them last year! I actually thought these were just Popbands which I also talked about here but they are by a brand called Ribband and I got them in a Selfridges
Beauty Box last summer! Just like Popbands they keep my keep my hair secure but
don’t pull it too tight and they don’t leave kinks!
This is probably my favourite fragrance and I love layering up the body
lotion and the perfume! I actually prefer the original but it was too difficult
to photograph so I gave up! The skin hydrating version is meant to moisturise,
smooth and brighten the skin which to be honest I haven’t noticed. I do however
notice how light and fresh the scent is and it’s also a bit more affordable
than the original Be Delicious so handy for popping in your bag for top ups! I
think all three versions of the fragrance have featured in my empties over the
last year too!
Do you have any of the products I talked about? What’s yours favourite
green beauty product?
