Review: Method Cleaning Products

I don’t really like cleaning, actually I HATE it, and if I could afford a cleaner I would have one.  When I was offered some Method products to review I was a but hesitant as it meant I actually had to some cleaning but when I was told they were non-toxic I thought I would give them a go.

I was sent:

Non-toxic multi-surface cleaner pink grapefruit £3

Kicks grease and grime clean off surfaces with no chemical residue

Put the hurt on dirt with our new range of non-toxic cleaners with powergreen™ technology. our cleaners have powerful new formulas made with naturally derived surfactants that work by absorbing dirt rather than chemically degrading it.

I love this stuff; it does smell like pink grapefruit which is a 100% better than any other cleaner I have used. It works so well on grease and grime.

I use it all over the house and it’s amazing. You don’t need to use a lot and because you can use it everywhere it makes it better value for money.

It is more expensive that other cleaners but I think it’s worth it.

Being non-toxic means you don’t have to rinse it afterwards so I just spray and wipe.

Non-toxic glass cleaner mint £4

for a streak free shine. enjoy the view

ammonia-free, with a corn based solvent that eliminates dirt, dust and pesky hand prints

no streaks or chemical stink

ammonia-free plant-based powergreen™ technology

This is another great product; it smells great and cleans glass really well.  It didn’t leave any streaks just shiny clean glass.

You don’t have to use a lot to get great results. It took all the grime and hairspray off my bedroom mirrors.

I really like the Method products and would use these again.

Sun Protection from Boots.

I am overly cautious when it comes to sun protection for me and BG. We are really fair and in the past two years both my nan and BG’s nan have has skin cancer.  I would rather look like a ghost then risk my life for a tan.

We always wear factor 50 and I also ensure that the sunscreen has a 5 Star UVA rating. We often buy the Soltan range from Boots as I find it works really well and ticks all the boxes for sun protection.

Boots sent me a selection of the Soltan range to test out and now we have finally had some sun we have tried it out.

This is what we tried:

New Soltan Beautiful Bronze Wash Off Instant Bronzing Lotion, a moisturising bronzing lotion to enhance skin tone and cover imperfections, leaving you with a perfect rich, deep tan instantly. Available in either light/medium or medium/dark. £3.99, was £5.99.

I don’t have much luck with self-tan and to be honest O didn’t do much better with this.  I didn’t use a self-tan mitt which I don’t think helped and I had just shaved my legs . I just couldn’t get the tan even but on the plus side it did wash off I have been known to have patchy skin for weeks.

Soltan Once Face 8 Hour Sun Protection Moisturising Suncare Cream

Just one application of this facial suncream will give 8 hours protection, with a water resistance and ultra UV-ageing defence formula.  £10.99.

I actually use this already and highly recommend it. It goes on lovely and is not too thick and gives great protection from the sun.  I still get a light tan using this but no red nose and cheeks!

New Soltan Once Kids 8 Hour Play SPF 50, leaves your children protected for up to 8 hours with the maximum 5-star UVA protection £15.99.

I love this stuff, ideal for when BG is playing in the garden all day or at preschool. I feel  at ease when she has this on, though I often reapply to the face which gets wiped a lot. It is really thick, so my advice to apply while your child has no clothes on and let it sink in before getting them dressed or you will end up with cream all over their clothes.

NewSoltan Protect & Tan SPF 15, an ultra-light texture suncare lotion which supports the skin’s natural tanning for a healthy, radiant glow without the damaging effects of sun burn. £12.99.

I only use factor 50 as I so pale but OH can wear lower so he tried this out for me. It went on really well and gave great protection. He tanned a little but nothing extreme, though we haven’t had a huge amount of sun. It’s a good sunscreen.

Boots currently have a buy one get one free offer on Soltan Sun protection and aftersun

Children’s Clothes Review: MASH Junior Spring/Summer

Earlier this year we reviewed some clothes from the MASH JuniorAutumn/Winter range and we loved them.  

We have just been sent some lovely tops from their Spring/Summer range.

Pink Strappy Top with Camera Detail

White t-shirt with Perfume Bottles

What I like about MASH Junior is they are well made, wash well and look really cute.  BG really likes wearing them.

MASH Junior is split into two lines - MASH Boy and MASH Kiss, for boys and girls respectively. The age range is 0 month to 16 years.

The range availability is limited in UK at the moment. It is currently available from yoox.com 

Review Round Up - June

I have been the worse blogger in the world recently. Due to work commitments my poor blogs have taken a back seat which has left me with a backlog of reviews.

I have decided the best thing to do is a roundup of the products I have been sent.
