I was a bit skeptical at first because I've a) never used a deodorant in balm form and b) never spent more than a couple of quid on a deodorant. But this genuinely did change my life! Smells amazing, and you really do not smell a thing afterwards. I'd been looking for a natural and non-toxic deodorant for a while. Tried a crystal stick (worked for a bit then stopped working) and various other brands. This is honestly amazing. I started using it last October so I didn't have the chance to test it out in a gig or festival setting, but after this summer I can safely say, it works all the time. Really really well.

Nada!

Undeniably delicious.

It is pricey, but if it's all fair trade and the supply chain is slavery free, then I guess that's the price you pay.
Oatly
Experience
I love Oatly. A lot. To the point where I used to have 3 oat lattes a day. But I was feeling super sluggish, and bloated, and I couldn't work out why (after something caffeinated?!) I was gutted when I checked out the ingredients list and did a little more online snooping to find out it's full of rapeseed oil - not good! Since I've switched to having black coffee my energy levels are up and I actually feel the impact of the coffee! I do have an oat latte every now and then cos it's soooo delicious but yeah - sad times!

So many additives!
BAGGU
Experience
I have tote bags galore but i LOVE my baggu. It was gifted to be for my birthday last year and so far has come with me to various countries, supermarkets, beaches - it's so versatile and really holds its weight. And being neon green it's easy to spot anywhere!
Horizn Studios
Experience
I looove my carry-on case. It's lightweight (which means you can squeeze more stuff in!) and is super sleek. It wheels along perfectly, and you can charge your phone from it too which is an added bonus given iPhone's notoriously rubbish battery! It is perfect for a few days' away, and comes with a laundry bag too.

Honestly nothing - I love it!
THIS
Experience
I followed this brand on Instagram way before they launched and so was excited to try their products when they came to market. I wasn't let down - really delicious and 'meat-like' - even the bacon was pretty damn close and a far cry from old flappy Quorn from the 00s.

Nothing I can think of!
Glossier
Experience
I was gifted some Glossier products for Christmas, having never tried them before and I thought they were all hype - but I was wrong! LOVE Boy Brow, Lash Slick and Cloud Paint and will definitely be repurchasing very soon as they're almost out. Reasonably priced too.
Feedback
A lot of plastic is my only concern.
Ouai
Experience
I love their scalp scrub! Smells amazing and after I've finished with it on my hair I use it everywhere else as a scrub and it works amazingly.
Feedback
Pricey but I love it as it is!
Summer Fridays
Experience
Beautiful, simple, colourful packaging - which is what drew me in. I bought the blue one, and it feels just like Nivea cream but minty. It was kind of stinging whilst it was in, so I removed it, and it had made my skin peel! Sad as it's an expensive mask.
Feedback
The formula didn't feel luxury enough to meet the price tag. It was an irritant and I don't have sensitive skin!

On my third tube - it's the only natural deodorant I trust! I've used salt sticks, other natural deodorant brands, the lot and was so surprised that this works even after a few weeks. What I find happens with most natural deos is that it works for a week, or two, and then slowly I begin to notice it's not doing the trick anymore! These also smell amazing, it's like they transport you somewhere else :)

The first tube I had (back in October 2020) was quite difficult to squeeze out but the formulation has since been slightly changed and it now comes out a dream. Love that there's no plastic in the packaging too. Pricey but it's something I use every day, in sensitive areas, so I want to make sure it's safe and of a high quality, which this definitely feels as though it is.
