Environmentally Conscious Beauty Brands

Antonym Antonym Make up is a natural, organic and cruelty free make up brand. They use Ecocert ingredients in their products and most of their products are packaged in bamboo or paper. Not all products use plastic free packaging but a large amount does so be mindful to check before purchasing. Lush We are all aware of Lush’s incredible bath bomb but they create so much more. Lush have a Naked range which is completely packaging free products. From make-up, hair care and skincare all available without the plastic packaging. I am a huge fan of Lush and in particular this Naked range. I hope to see other brands adopt a similar range.   Kjaer Weis Kjaer Weis sell certified organic natural makeup in refillable metal tins. This brand is expensive however you can buy the refills for these products and the metal containers will last forever.

What's Trending?!

So recently I've been seeing a lot of new trends that have arrived or will be coming in for summer so I wanted to share what trends I have noticed and which ones I think will be huge this summer. The first has to be the revival of camo. I am a huge fan of camo so I always love to see it back in the shops. I recently picked up a pair of camo trousers myself which I'm looking forward to wearing as soon as the weather picks up. A lot of camo clothing has sold out online as I have been looking for camo trousers for the longest time so if you're interested in this look I would recommend acting quickly. The next trend I have spotted is hair clips and hair bands. I'm a big fan of these and I have noticed both items appearing bit by bit in the shops. Although this trend hasn't taken off everywhere quite yet I think they will really gain traction in the next few months. So anyone who is a fan of Gossip girl can relive their Blair Waldorf moment.

The Body Shop Shea Butter Range

Recently I was lucky enough to receive a package from The Body Shop which was kindly gifted to me and includes some of their Shea Butter range. I received the 100% Natural Shea Butter,  body lotion, conditioner and hair mask. I wanted to try out these products as I have heard so many great things about this range. They have recently launched the 100% Natural Shea Butter which is a multipurpose product with a rich and creamy texture. This can be used to moisture almost any part of your body from head to toe. You can also use this product as a part of crafting when making your own lip balms for example.  All the products in this range leave your skin feeling super soft and moisturised and really targets any dry skin you have. I have started using the body lotion when I come out of my shower. This lotion adds hydration back into my skin and smells incredible. I also noticed that the scent is lasting on the skin which is unlike most body lotions I have tried. I use the hair conditio
