au sujet de Vert online boutique

Shubana, who writes Berry's Beauty has recently launched online beauty boutique au sujet de Vert (which means about green in French) She recently got in touch to see if I'd like to try a product from Cîme Skincare (a brand I'd never tried up until now).

It was a nice surprise to receive a hand cream from the brand but also some other lovely goodies.

I like that your order can be hand delivered if you live in the W1 area of London. Brands stocked are natural and organic and have no parabens. In the 'mixed' section in the shop you will find products which contain some synthetic ingredients but are much loved. Everything has been tried and tested by Shubana which I think is a nice touch.

Brands you can buy:

Cîme Skincare - I've been testing out their De Main en Main Hand Cream (£21 - 100ml)* which is enriched with apricot kernal oil and aloe extract. It leaves the hands nourished and delicately scented. Expect a fuller review soon. I was also sent some sachets and I'll update my thoughts on them in a samples or empties post.

Tabitha James Kraan - I was sent a 60ml size of the Organic 4-in-1 Conditioner in Amber Rose*. This smells absolutely heavenly and I can't wait to try it. I have tried the conditioner in the Golden Citrus scent and you can see my review HERE.

Ermana Natural Skincare - a brand I tried way back in August (review). The Comfort Balm (15ml)* cares for dry skin patches on the face and body. Scented with Lavender, Geranium and Ylang Ylang and packed full of nourishing butters it's an absolute delight for the senses, a skin soother and hydrator. Use it on lips, elbows, cracked heels, knees, for cuticles and dry hands. You can also massage it onto the temples and wrists to help to calm down (I've also used it on flyaways).

Vedani Botanicals: Silky Cleanser No.22 & Silky Moisturiser No.32

I've been testing out Vedani Botanicals No.22 Silky Cleanser with Hazelnut & Tamanu (50g - £22)* and No.32 Silky Moisturiser with Baobab & Chia (30g - £32)*.

I'm pretty much in love with everything about them - luxe packaging, fabulous ingredients, lovely scents, both oils absorb easily and leave the skin looking glowy and nourished. 

The Bamboo Muslin Cloths* (single cloth £2.50, pack of 5 £12) are quite simply the best I've ever used - a decent size, soft and makes the cleansing routine into a lovely ritual which I've been enjoying nightly.

The cleanser has a light-medium texture and a pleasant floral/fruity scent. It absorbs easily onto the skin. Massage a couple of drops into the face and neck before removing with the warm damp bamboo muslin cloth.  The skin is left feeling clean, nourished and balanced. This is my favourite from the duo.

The moisturiser again has a light-medium texture which absorbs easily onto the skin leaving it balanced, moisturised and feeling comfortable. All you need are a few drops.

All the blends are 100% natural and are handcrafted in small batches in the UK. They are Vegan friendly and are made using the highest quality Essential Oils and cold unrefined Plant Oils. Other blends include - No.21 and No.31 which are very light textured and suitable for oily/problematic skin types and No.23 and No.33 which has a rich texture and is suitable for dry skins.

There is also a range coming soon which will be suitable for the men in your life.
