World Vegan Month at Big Green Smile & Pacifica Perfume Review

Big Green Smile is celebrating World Vegan Month this month and has lots of tempting offers available.  You can see these here and here.  I'm liking the look of Faith in Nature Natural SoapsLavera's Fine Loose Mineral PowderGreen People's Aloe Vera Roll-on Deodorant and Dr Hauschka Blackthorn Toning Body Oil.

Big Green Smile offer a wide range of products - make up, beauty products, natural cleaners and baby food. It is one of the biggest natural and organic online retailers in the UK.  There are over 4,5000 products available.  When your order is over £10 you can choose 2 free samples from a wide range see here.

There is also a fabulous range of gifts available (link) from top natural brands.  You can also enter to win a £50 gift voucher to spend at Big Green Smile. The entry form is on the link. The competition in association with World Vegan Month 2014 ends on 30 November.

I've heard a lot about Pacifica brand but this is only my second try (I received one of their Devocean Lipsticks in October's Petit Vour beauty box).  The range is 100% Vegan and cruelty free and the products are very affordable.  The products are free from phthalates, nitro-musks, benzene, mineral oils, GMO and propylene glycol.

Founder Brook Harvey Taylor started blending her own perfumes as a teen. When she went to college in the early 90s she studied aromatherapy. She met photographer & film maker Billy Taylor and together they created Pacifica. The brand includes perfumes, cosmetics and skincare.  They try to work with local suppliers, support local charities and Brook personally develops the scents.

Pacifica Tahitian Gardenia Roll on (10ml - £12)* is made using natural pure grain alcohol with perfume blends made from pure essential oils.


This is a heady scent which mellows to a white floral scent with Gardenia, Jasmine, Sweet Orange and Tea leaves.  It is quite sweet and floral.  I'm really impressed with the quality, scent and price and I'll definitely be treating myself to a few more!

  1. Pacifica has definitely piqued my interest and I'll definitely have to take a look at them. They also seem like they have some great gift ideas for teens as well.
