J.R. Liggett’s Old-Fashioned Natural Bar Shampoo

I don’t like using soap bars on my face but other than that, I’m quite game to use them on my hair or body. Somehow, they appeal to me in a certain strange way and that’s probably why I couldn’t resist buying this J.R. Liggett’s Old Fashion Bar Shampoo soap even though I don’t really need it. I suspect I bought it because I was captivated by the packaging – don’t you think it looks quaint?

Morcare: natural skin care range with a green focus

♥Guest Post♥ Today’s post is contributed by FWY, a regular reader of Viva Woman. Please note that all products featured here were provided on a complimentary basis for the purpose of review.


Early last month, I was sent a couple of products from Morcare in UK. This is a line of cosmetics that are formulated with naturally derived ingredients, and made with a strong focus on social responsibility where special care is given to the origin, the cultivation, the method of collection of the raw materials for the further processing. All Morcare products are made to be free of chemical preservatives, PEG, mineral oil, synthetic additives, GMO, and fragrance. In addition, they are not tested on animals and the formulations are said to be non-comedogenic.

Avalon Organics Thickening Shampoo & Conditioner

I’m actually more careful with my hair than with my skin and this is probably why you see fewer hair products reviewed on this blog. However, I’ve been rather bored using the same shampoo over such a prolonged period and decided to try some new products. So I ventured to buy the Avalon Organics Biotin B-Complex Therapy Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner from Watsons, especially after reading some positive reviews up on iHerb.com.

Crystal Body Deodorant Stick: mineral salt rules

I’ve been quite happy with this Crystal Body Deodorant I got from iHerb. It’s a travel size deodorant stick made of mineral salt and except for the shape and size, it’s the same as the Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal I was using but broke after I dropped it. Because This Crystal Body Deodorant is a travel-size stick, it’s much smaller and chances of dropping this is much lower.
