Green People Vitamin Shampoo - Review

One of my New Year resolutions was to focus more on the condition and upkeep of my hair. The aim being to always have healthy soft, manageable and shiny hair.

My hair has recently been looking quite dull and frizzy and sorry for itself and I want to return it to its former glory. I remember when I went to the Daniel Galvin Salon at the Corinthia Hotel and had their detox treatment, how bright my hair looked afterwards so when I was sent the Green People Vitamin Shampoo for review I was looking forward to seeing what it could do for my hair.

The Vitamin Shampoo is a detox/shine product that is designed for use on dull, lifeless, dry hair or one that has been affected by the sun, salt or chlorine. The blurb on the back states 'Detox your hair, add shine and nourish your scalp'

It is an organic shampoo that contains no parabens, is SLS free and ingredients include organic avocado and mandarin.

The shampoo smells slightly citrusy, if you have tried Green People products before you will be familiar with this pleasant scent. It comes out clear and foams quite nicely which as we know a lot of people associate with a product that is doing its job, in this case cleaning the hair.

I found this shampoo to be soothing (it contains Aloe Vera) and non -irritating on my scalp, this is important to me as I suffer from scalp psoriasis.

The results -

I have been using this shampoo for a few weeks now and noticed from the first use how it seemed to cleanse my hair, removing build up of product use, making my hair and in particular my highlights brighter. I would like to see more shine but I suspect this might be achieved by using it in conjunction with the Vitamin Conditioner.

Previously I may have been a bit sceptical of 'detox' products for the hair but I am convinced now that they have a place in my hair care routine.

Green People Vitamin Shampoo costs £9.95 for 200ml

The Mineral Powder That Converted Me...

Readers of BeautySwot know that I really struggle to like mineral powder foundation. I admit the results are good (I have tried some really great ones) but I find it far more of a faff than liquid foundation. Loose powders get up my nose, so they soon go by the wayside.

However, I may just have changed my mind with Green People's Pressed Mineral Powder SPF15.

I love this powder and am increasingly reaching for it when I need a quick fix and need to get out of the house in a hurry but don't want to compromise on looking good. The fact that it is pressed means that it doesn't make a huge powdery mess on my clothes, nor does it go up my nose. It covers in seconds (including the redness I have) and looks unbelievably natural and flawless. I have got the 'caramel' shade which is described as for skin with a yellow undertone, it is the perfect shade for me. As an added bonus, I tried it without a primer today, it looked good for hours and no hint of a shiny nose! A great Matte foundation in my opinion.

Green People's Pressed Mineral Powder is certified organic and is suitable for sensitive skin and those prone to acne, eczema, psoriasis or rosacea. Minerals reflect light to minimise fine lines and wrinkles and apparently the foundation does not clog your pores, allowing skin to breathe naturally.

This organic mineral face powder is made without Parabens, Bismuth Oxychloride, Petrochemicals, Phthalates, unnecessary Bulking Agents and Synthetic Colours.

The compacts are made with 100% natural plastic and coloured with earth-friendly, natural colour. I actually find the shape of it quite easy to hold.

I apply the mineral foundation with the Kabuki brush also from the Green People, which is available to purchase separately. This is an eco-friendly, vegan brush made of bamboo, I find it incredibly soft, I think it gives excellent results and can highly recommend it.

I am so pleased with the quality of both items and I am now looking at other products in their make-up range as they are created with the same 'natural' ethos.

Pressed Mineral Powder SPF15 costs £20.45 for 10g 

Kabuki Brush costs £20.45
