I first stumbled across Scarlett & Greene products a few years ago, when the range was first introduced in New Zealand back in October 2010. The founders of Scarlett & Greene (Rebecca Freeman-Greene and Samantha Scarlett) were unable to find skincare products for their daughters, that weren't made using loads of harsh chemicals. Therefore, they decided to take action and create their own line of natural and effective products, and named the brand 'Scarlett & Greene'. They currently have four products on the market, all made naturally, and designed to nourish young skin. I have had the pleasure of using the 'Come Clean' Facewash, 'Bare All' Facewash and the 'Under Cover' moisturiser. The first thing I noticed about all their products was the gorgeous packaging. It looks fresh and appealing and also incorporates our country, New Zealand, in the koru design on the boxes. I was also very pleased to see that all the packaging was recyclable. For this particular review, I have decided to review just the Bare All facewash. Though I really enjoyed all of their products, Bare All is the one that I just keep going back to. Like the founders of the company, I was also struggling to find a skincare line that cared for my skin and didn't contain nasty chemicals. Throughout my early teenage years, I was fortunate enough to just have a few occasional breakouts, however, I still really wanted a product that would clear up my skin fast and effectively. This is when I heard about Scarlett & Greene. As soon as I had tested out the sample, I was hooked. It has a beautiful aroma of New Zealand manuka honey and tea tree oil and the consistency of the gel feels soft and smooth on the skin, unlike some other facial gels that feel gluggy and oily. Bare All Breakout wash is applied to dry skin both morning and night, and for best results, I leave it on for a minute or two to really work it's magic.
The Result: After the first use, I noticed a difference in the appearence of my skin. Blemishes seemed to fade overnight, and my skin still felt oil free even after a good nights beauty sleep!
I have been using Scarlett and Greene products for over two years now, and I am never dissapointed with the results. Being from a small town, I have to purchase my products online. The service is always excellent and I love recieving not only the products but the notes that read "Thankyou for your continued support" :)
Rating: Absolute 10/10. This brand really knows how to take care of your skin and prides itself in being a natural, local product that really works. I look forward to many more years using their products.
Price: NZD $29.95 for 150mls.

One of the most confusing places for women to shop would definately be the cosmetic and skincare counter. With so many new products reaching our shelves everyday, and advertisments claiming all sorts of things, it can be very daunting place. One thing that I have particularly noticed is that the ingredients lists are getting longer and longer. Which is a huge concern for me. Therefore I decided to create this blog, and also challenge myself to use only natural based products on my skin. I live by the theory "If I wouldn't eat it, I wouldn't put it on my skin". After all, the skin is the largest organ and it should be protected from harsh chemicals. I already have some wonderful products lined up including Scarlett & Greene Skincare, Living Nature Cosmetics and a few other goodies.
I look forward to the challenge, and getting to know some readers! Depending on how successful my blog becomes, I would also love to introduce some giveaways, so keep an eye out!
Love and light,
Catie
