Product Review: Vita Coco Coconut Oil

I was sent this Vita Coco Coconut Oil to review some weeks ago, it has been tried and tested and it has a 100% pass mark from me but before I jump right into it, let me tell you a bit about this product.

Here is what Vita Coco has to say about this Extra Virgin 100% Raw Coconut Oil:

Vita Coco, the company who first brought us delicious tasting coconut water, now brings to our shores its own brand of 100% Organic Coconut Oil. Cold pressed from Organic coconuts, 100% raw and extra virgin, this new addition to the Vita Coco Family is the perfect cooking oil and goes a long way to rescuing dry skin and hair – that’s why people swear by it!

So after some weeks of using this coconut oil almost every day, here are my thoughts on the product:

PROS

  1. This coconut oil is a natural multi-tasker and a good value for money. It can be used from the bathroom to the kitchen, for baking, moisturising, hair conditioning, makeup removal, cooking, you name it, it can do it.

2. Say goodbye to dry skin with this coconut oil. It is a perfect body moisturiser. I have been using it along with my body lotion, everyday for weeks now, and I can see a noticeable difference in my skin. My skin is now smooth and supple.

3. I use it as a weekly hair conditioner. I apply some of it to my hair after washing with a shampoo and I leave in for about 2/3 hours, before rinsing off with a shampoo. It has brought my hair back to life literally. My hair is now growing at a terrific rate, it has stopped breaking and it is no longer as weak and brittle as it used to be.

4. I use this coconut oil as a makeup remover. I apply on my face with a cotton wool and it removes every trace of makeup except waterproof mascara.

5. I love the smell of this coconut oil. It has a sweet, refreshing fragrance, just like a coconut.

6. This coconut oil also serves as my lip balm and it soothes my lips.

7. I love the fact that this Vita Coco coconut oil is readily available in various stores.

CONS

None

Sorry but I can’t fault this product. It is one of the best products I have had the privilege of reviewing this year. If in doubt, just Google up the benefits of the coconut oil, or better still, try this Vita Coco Coconut Oil for yourself, you can grab the 250ml for £5.99 at Tesco, Amazon, Boots, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Waitrose and many more stores.

Product Review: Geluxury Moisture Replenishing Leopard Slippers

IMG_3057

I was recently sent this Geluxury Moisture Replenishing Leopard Slippers by Simply Feet some weeks ago to review. My feet is usually OK, I don’t suffer much from cracked heels or damaged cuticles but I couldn’t turn down a golden opportunity to pamper my feet. I love pampering myself at home, so I am usually on the lookout for products I could use at home by myself.

Here is what Geluxury has to say about this moisturising slippers:

Our dematologist-tested slippers feature our patent-pending SmartGel lining, which is scientifically formulated to transform dry, damaged skin. The deep-hydrating gel lining delivers therapeutic botanicals and oils that heal, intense hydrators that nourish, and ceramides that seal and protect. With regular use, you will restore, repair and rejuvenate your cracked heels, calluses, and damaged cuticles.

How To Use

  • The Slippers work best when used regularly (20-30 minutes at least 2x per week).
  • Daily use is recommended for optimal results.
  • The Slippers should be worn for light, indoor use only.
  • Slip them on while relaxing at home, doing light housework, or just sitting at your desk.

Here are my thoughts on this product:

PROS

  1. No mess or preparation required. All I needed to do was to put it on. I applied a mosituriser on my feet after having a shower, before wearing it for a more intensive treatment.
  2. This slippers made my feet smooth and soft in a couple of days so it works!
  3. After wearing it for about 15 minutes, it starts to feel nice and warm, I could feel the moisturisers and oils release and start to work.
  4. I love the leopard print design, so chic. It also comes in a ‘cuddle cow’ print design

CONS

  1. It felt kind of weird the first time I wore it. It wasn’t what I was expecting. I expected a regular indoor, comfortable slippers but this feels nothing like that. It has a gel like lining that feels like rubber when worn initially. I guess it has to feel like this to do the job.
  2. I choose a medium size as I am a UK 6 and the medium size is meant for UK 5-6.5 but this was a little small for me, only if that is how it is meant to be in order to do the job?

Overall, I recommend the Geluxury Moisture Replenishing Slippers, it does all it claims to do in a matter of days. It will repair, replenish and restore your feet, leaving it feeling and looking smooth and soft.

The Geluxury Moisture Replenishing Leopard Slippers costs £30 and you can grab it on the Simply Feet website (link in the first paragraph). So what do you think of this product? Have you tried it?
