Over the last few weeks there have been a few beauty products worth mentioning as being particularly great.

1. Victoria Green Beauty Bags are not only stylish with unique designs that you won’t find in every other shop on the High Street but they are big, wipe-clean and superb value for money too.  Victoria Green definitely gets The Thumbs Up and I can highly recommend.

2. NHP Nourish Hair Bath is without a doubt ‘the best shampoo’ I have ever used! Mr. C has heard me say that so much over the last few weeks and when Maddie (middle daughter) tried it at the weekend she said exactly the same thing. NHP stands for Natural Haircare Program and the NHP Nutri Argan range I’ve been trying out is made up of a blend of organic Argan Oil and Macadamia Oil. Usually if I use hair products with oils in, my hair goes all limp and dull but the NHP shampoo has made my hair lovely and soft and shiny and it kind of calms down the flyaway static hairs which often stick up around my parting. The NHP Hair Mask is in a league of its own and the fact that it’s free of parabens, paraffins and colourants is an added bonus! The Thumbs Up to NHP!

3. Niki’s Organic Balms have been a revelation to me. I particularly like Niki’s Organic Lavender & Chamomile Balm which I’ve been using as a Hot Cloth Cleanser. It has a really lovely scent and is calming on my skin. Lots of cleansers make my skin go all red but Niki’s is spot-on!
Niki’s Rose Balm is equally as good and I’ve been using that as a night-time moisturiser. It’s a little bit greasy on my skin for day-time use but other people I’ve asked say it’s fine for using in the day under make-up.

So that’s just a few of the 5 Star beauty products in my life at the moment.

Next week I’m thinking of writing about the 0 to 1 Star products in my life although it’s got to be said that there haven’t been a lot of them recently.
