Vanessa Meganan Australian natural and organic skincare company who believes that “You should never put anything on your skin that you wouldn’t eat.” The products are consequently free from all the chemical nasties including mineral oils, parabens, PEGs, artificial preservatives, colours or fragrances and are certified Cruelty Free too. The products are made from the finest quality natural & organic ingredients, and come in 100% recyclable packaging, with all products manufactured by hand in Australia. I’m impressed.
This Mint & Citrus all natural room spray contains essential oils of
peppermint, orange, mandarin and lemon myrtle and has been designed to
eliminate odors and give your home a nice uplifting scent. The peppermint
provides relief from stress, the orange oil encourages a positive outlook and
ousts stress, the mandarin oil is balancing, uplifting and calming while the
lemon myrtle oil is refreshing and uplifting.
And the room spray really does have the most uplifting citrus scent,
with the lemon myrtle very dominant, which I really love. It quickly disguises
the smell of my two dogs and what we had for dinner, and the beautiful scent
lingers in the air for quite some time. And I love knowing that it is 100%
natural so it doesn’t harm any of us, including our 14 month old boy if we
should breathe it in.

At night I love
burning scented candles, both to create a nice mood but also to spread a nice
scent through our house. This candle is made from 100% natural soy wax, and
because it doesn’t contain any chemicals, it
means that it doesn’t burn with a black smoke that both stain your walls
and ceiling, but does even worse to your insides..
The candles are hand-poured
in Sydney using natural soybeans and contains blend of five essential oils, to
calm and relax the mind and body. The essential oils are ylang ylang to help
regulate adrenalin flow and relax the nervous system resulting in a
feeling of joy, lavender oil to soothe and calm the mind, patchouli to balance
the mind, and geranium to lift the spirits, and it has the most beautiful and
natural warm and musky scent, that’s perfect for a chilly night.

Let me start by saying that this body wash
is nothing short of amazing, no wonder it has selected as a finalist and judges' pick in the Popsugar
Australia Beauty Awards 2014 Best Body Wash category!
The body wash is made using 100% natural
ingredients, of which 80.25%
are certified organic. The body wash has the most
divine zesty citrus scent thanks to the essential oils of blood orange and lemon
myrtle, that lingers on your skin for hours after
you’ve used it, and they help keep your skin free from body odours as they both
have anti-microbial
properties. The wash is so refreshing to use in the
morning, it is like a true wakeup call. It gently cleans the skin, and froths
up to a nice soft foam, and it leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth due to
containing among others aloe vera and glycerine that helps provide moisture to
the skin, as well as olive
squalane that hydrates
and helps regenerate the skin, reduces wrinkles and assists in maintaining
healthy skin.

This tub of cream may be small, but it packs a
serious punch. It was previously appropriately named Happy Hands and Heel Balm, as it is particularly suited for extremely
dry, dehydrated or irritated skin. The 100% natural and certified cream
instantly provides healing moisture and protection to the skin, getting it back
to top health in no time. But that is not all. It is a true multi-tasker, also
perfect to soothe a rash or bite, even sunburn, and it is so gentle that it can
be used on eczema and dermatitis too! It contains among others shea butter that
may help fade acne scars and scars, bees wax to provide moisture and protection
to the skin and heals minor abrasions, calendula extract to speed up healing of
the skin and german blue chamomile essential oil, which is anti-inflammatory
and has skin healing properties.
The balm very
concentrated so it only takes the tiniest amount. It is also a little greasy
and takes a while to absorb into the skin, but the wait is all worth it once
you feel its powers on your skin. It truly is a magic multi-tasking balm
suitable for everybody and every need.
This cream is designed for dehydrated, extremely dry skin and sensitive skin
types as a day cream, as well as it can be used as a night cream for normal
skin types. Unfortunately I have combination skin prone to breakouts, and
sadly, even though winter always make my skin a little drier, this cream was
just too rich for my skin, and by mid-morning it was feeling greasy and my
makeup sliding off my face. I tried using it at night, and had a much better
result. The cream is thick, rich and very concentrated, so it hardly takes a
pea-sized amount to cover my full face, and while it does take a few moments to
absorb into the skin, it leaves the skin feeling soft and intensely moisturised
and nourished. And when I woke in the
morning, my skin is soft and smooth, and has a nice glow, and thanks to the
intense moisture my skin feels more plumb and fine lines appear to have reduced
in size overnight.
The cream is 100% Natural using 81.15% certified
organic ingredients contains
among others jojoba oil, hemp seed oil to help reduce wrinkles or minimise
fine lines, hemp seed oil to add moisture and anti-ageing properties, chamomile
extract to help purify and soothe the skin, calendula extract to help speedup
healing, rose maroc essential oil to help treat broken thread veins, and vitamin E,
olive squalane and aloe vera to add moisture, promote collagen production,
reduce wrinkles, and keep the skin supple.
So there you go, these are my top picks
from Vanessa Megan. All in all some brilliant products for both body and home.
I particularly love the Body Wash, the room spray and the candle, but if my
skin had been just a tad more on the dry side the, the moisturiser and the balm
would have been perfect too.
And there are so many more beautifully sounding products in the Vanessa Megan product range – and I wish I had known about the Mummy’s Tummy Pregnancy Oil and not to mention the Pregnancy Perfume while I was pregnant! And I will definitely be checking out the baby range for use on my little boy, as well as I’ve also got my eyes on the natural perfumes, another candle or two, and the body oils and hand and body creams….oh, and the tangerine shampoo and conditioner sounds pretty amazing too…

I recently put up a post with my reviews of their products as well! I have their Rosehip oil and hand cream and LOVE them both. I adore them as a brand and their ethos. The candle sounds so lovely and luxurious!

Do the room sprays and scented candles come in the same scents?
