*The Humble Co Plastic Free Dental Products

-

*I received these products for free but the opinions are my own.

I was kindly sent a selection of The Humble Co. products* to review recently. The Humble Co. is one of my go-to brands for sustainable dental products especially when I am travelling, so I'm not adding to the disposable plastic that ends up in oceans and landfill.
The Humble Co Plastic Free Dental Products
Humble Brush Plant Based Toothbrush 2 Pack* - The Humble Co. have created a plant based Humble brush which has a handle made from a mix of plant based materials & Polypropylene (PP). The products inner and outer packaging is made from paper and is eco-friendly and 100% recyclable. Its vegan, cruelty-free and verified Bisphenol A (BPA) free. These are for sensitive teeth and are very soft and as someone who has sensitive teeth I didn't have any problems using this toothbrush at all. It comes in a pack of 2 brushes and there are 2 colour options - purple & blue brush heads or black & white brush heads. These toothbrushes are available at Holland and Barrett for £2.49 here.

Humble Brush - Replaceable Head Toothbrush* - The Humble brush* has a handle made from 100% biodegradable, sustainably-grown bamboo (the fastest growing plant on earth). Bamboo is also naturally antibacterial which means that there is no need to use fertilisers or pesticides during its cultivation. The Humble brush comes with 1 handle and 3 easily removable brush heads. The box is made from recycled materials, and the inside wrapper is made from compostable paper. The products are also certified vegan, cruelty-free and verified Bisphenol A (BPA) free. The bristles are not stiff or harsh and clean my teeth really well. I think these are a great replacement for plastic toothbrushes (3.6 billion of which are produced every year, the majority of which will end up in oceans and landfills). You can buy this brush at Boots for £3.50 at the moment as there is an offer on (normally it costs £7).

The Humble Interdental Brushes* come in 6 different sizes which is great if like me you have some teeth that are really close together with a barely there gap and others that have a bigger gap and are very prone to getting food stuck between them and can be quite painful. The brushes have handles made from 100% biodegradable, sustainably grown bamboo like the toothbrush above. These BPA-free little brushes are great for removing the small food particles between your teeth. The pack contains 8 brushes and costs £3.99 at Holland and Barrett.

The Humble Co. Floss Picks* are made using Plant Based Materials. They are mint flavoured and charcoal infused  & also have twin floss which slides between teeth easily. This product has a handle made of a mix of plant based materials and Polypropylene (PP). The thread is made out of Polyethylene (PE) and flavoured for fresh and minty breath. Its safe and certified vegan and verified Bisphenol A (BPA) free. Its a handy product to use to remove food debris and bacteria from inbetween the teeth to prevent bad breath and gum disease. This product is available directly on The Humble Co. website for EUR3.99 here. One pack contains 50 floss picks.

The Humble Co. was established in 2013 and is based in Sweden. This company was founded by a dentist to design and develop eco-friendly dental products which offer an alternative to the regular plastic products that most of us use. Every Humble purchase goes towards funding projects for the benefit of children in need. You can read more about the Company's philosophy here.

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

**Reposted as the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer is  currently reduced to £2.50 from £4.50. I picked up the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer because it looked like it was a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. The Primark version costs £4.50 for 45ml and the Bobbi Brown Face Base costs £48.50 for 50ml, so there is quite a price difference.   I had always wanted to try out the Bobbi Brown product, so when I received a mini version in a gift with purchase goody bag I was really excited to try it out, but I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed.  I have quite dry skin and the face base did not have as much slip as I was expecting, so it didn't feel smooth when I applied my foundation. For the price I was expecting to love it way more than I did. It does have a lovely lemon smell which I really enjoy, where as the Primark version doesn't really have a fragrance.  Overall, I actually preferred the Primark version as it is thicker and it ma

I have wanted to get an LED Mask for ages but with prices for some of them at over £400 I just haven't been able to pull the trigger and buy one yet. So when I saw the LED Light Mask in Primark for £15 I just had to try it out.  The Primark version targets 3 different skin concerns with 3 different types of light sources. Red Light - Use for Anti-Aging benefits by helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles Blue Light - Helps to remove acne causing bacteria and reduce skin  inflammation Yellow Light - Helps to improve rough skin, reduces appearance of wrinkles and skin redness To use you cleanse your face and apply soothing and hydrating products.  You can use with face cream, eye cream, facial mask, eye mask, essence, toner etc.  Press the button for 2 seconds to turn on and press again until the LED light that you want to use appears.  You then use it for 10-20 minutes.  It does advise that in case of sensitivity to use with your eyes closed.  After use switch

Aldi Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-

I managed to get my hands on the newly released Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer from Aldi which is supposed to be a dupe of the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. It costs £5.99 for 50ml whereas the Bobbi Brown product costs £48.50 for 50ml. That's a big difference especially at times like these when every penny counts. The big question - is it any good? I actually really enjoyed using this primer. I have dry skin and this thick creamy primer really suited my skin. It contains vitamin c, vitamin b, vitamin e, shea butter, sodium hyaluronate & geranium oil and I found it very hydrating on my skin and it provided a great base for my makeup. My makeup stayed on all day and didn't go patchy or dry. It also has a fresh grapefruit and geranium scent which is really refreshing, but don't worry its not an overpowering smell. If you have dry skin I really recommend this product. It looks like its only available in store, so be quick as I'm not sure how long it will
