Going Bananas: we’re seeing a lot of this fabulous ingredient around this season

Whether blending them, putting them into baked goods, or chopping them into cereals or salads, bananas are one of the most versatile and nutrient-packed fruits. So nutritious, it’s become a popular ingredient in beauty products.

Bananas are an all-star choice when it comes to more wholesome foods to your diet. They’re chock full of potassium, magnesium, fibre, and vitamins (mainly B6 and C).

Bananas help keep your bones healthy, reduce the risk of heart disease, help regulate blood pressure, and boost energy and cognition. In beauty products you’ll find banana is a helpful ingredient in face creams, like in Tano Skincare‘s Age Well Face Cream, and even Garnier is using the good stuff in its Vitamin C Eye Cream (see below).

In haircare, banana is also a popular ingredient choice since its richness in potassium helps improve hair elasticity and synthesise collagen, leading to less breakage and stronger locks. Here’s a bunch of great things that are currently making us go, well, bananas.

Compiled by Lisa Andrews & Antonino Tati

Garnier Vitamin C Brightening Eye Cream

Garnier proudly insists that this is the world’s first eye cream that is highly concentrated with 4% – a patented figure that refers to the amount of niacinamide, caffeine, vitamin C and banana powder combined, found in every tube. The banana component helps to lighten dark circles and improve overall skin tone, while the caffeine factor helps improve puffiness. In one week we found a certain smoothness and overall better appearance in skin complexion. By week four, we were all in with highly visible results. Available from popular beauty outlets, and at garnier.com.au. RRP 29.99 for 15ml tube.

The Body Shop Banana Range

A brand that knows a good natural ingredient when it sees and tries it, The Body Shop have a full range of banana infused beauty products including Banana Smooth & Shine Shampoo, Conditioner, and Hair Mask. The fully vegan products are perfect for taming frizzy hair, since the banana component helps flatten the hair cuticles, preventing flyaways or rough textures. Bananas are rich in natural oils and water content, which also works to quench those dry strands that can lead to frizz. Product prices vary, available from thebodyshop.com.au.

Lush Banoffee Pie Body Spray

Notes of banana are wrapped in a gooey base of vanilla and silken tonka glaze in this body spray from the fresh food-as-beauty folk at Lush. The key ingredient keeping it all together is labdanum resinoid, a rich and resinous formula that adds to the sweetness. Surprisingly, too, the scent is tropical but the sensation on the skin isn’t sticky. Store your body spray somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight between uses. Available from lush.com/au RRP $58.00 for 200ml bottle.

Maxibon Barney Banana Ice Cream

We know it might surprise you to see an ice cream in this mix of beauty products but since the calcium from milk and the minerals in bananas are all great for bone health, a Barney Banana ice cream as a treat makes perfect sense.

You might recall this fabulous treat growing up. In fact, Barney Banana ice cream originally hit shop freezers in 1958 but it was Peters who put the ice cream on a popstick, originally promoting it as having real banana pieces.

The popstick is gone since with Maxibon – you just don’t need it! The rebooted Barney Banana features a banana-flavoured slab sandwiched between two chocolate biscuits then dipped in chocolate and delicious cookie pieces. Available at major supermarkets such as Woolworths, RRP $11.50 for a four-pack.

The Velvet Underground & Nico Banana Enamel Pin

Why should Charli XCX have all the Velvet Underground fun? This here enamel pin says rock’n’roll’n’style all in one. Made of enamel on alloy, features a polished black metal outline, bright yellow enamel fill, and with sturdy rubber pinback. Size: around 2.8cm x 3.6cm. Available from The Pop Shop, RRP $22. 

Bananarama – 40 Year Anniversary of their brill album True Confessions

It’s hard to believe that 40 years ago we were dancing in clubs and loungerooms to Bananarama’s boppy version of Venus, which featured on this here album. Bananarama released their third studio LP True Confessions amid the peak of their global popularity. The album would go on to be their most commercially successful record worldwide and, aside from Venus, it housed excellent tracks like More Than Physical, Do Not Disturb, and the cool, laidback Trick Of The Night. Various new versions of the album have recently been reissued through London Records including a double vinyl set – the second record featuring remixes of Venus and More Than Physical from the cheeky likes of Richard X, Boys Noize, and Luke Mornay. In fact, five of the remixes appear here exclusively on vinyl and for the first time. Score! Available from local record stores as well as at store.bananarama.co.uk.

Dusk X Paddle Pop Banana Scented Candles

Speaking of retro memories, Dusk is yet again collaborating with Streets to create a range of Paddle Pop Banana Scented products. These include the large and small soy blend candles, pictured. The scent is very banana meets vanilla cream, and its nice and subtle – not too strong when you have to concentrate in the home office, burning the candle at both ends, so to speak.

Hit That Perfect Beat: The London Records Story – an awesome compilation of pop and indie rock songs of the ’80s and ’90s

I haven’t received a compilation CD to review in quite a while. The digital nature of music distribution today means most of my sampling of what’s new on the music scene – including the release of reissues and anniversary issues of classic albums – is pretty much all done online. So it was nice to receive a copy of the CD compilation Hit That Perfect Beat: The London Records Story – an engaging collection of songs that highlights the remarkable breadth of London Records during the 1980s and 1990s. Finally, a quality CD I can play in my car!

Scanning the tracklisting of this double-disc set and you might be surprised by the sheer diversity of artists who were on the London Records label. From Bananarama to Bronski Beat, All Saints to New Order, every genre of the times – from pop to early EDM – makes an appearance.

A lot of these songs I’ve heard before, of course, most of them actually, and it’s so good to hear them again, seemingly mastered so that I’m hearing subtle nuances that I didn’t pick up when they were first heard. Blancmange’s Living On The Ceiling kicks the proceedings off and the version of that song alone reveals beeps and buzzes I’d not picked up on previously. Bananarama’s Cruel Summer follows – a pop classic if ever there was one. And then everything Jimmy Somerville has touched appears to follow – LGBT-proud anthems by Bronski Beat, absolute grooves by the Communards, and even a Somerville solo single. You might suspect, actually, that Jimmy had shares in the production of this compilation, his vocals appear so regularly.

Then there are the huge hits – like Fine Young Cannibals’ She Drives Me Crazy; Armand van Helden’s You Don’t Know Me (a massive one in the clubs that one was); Shakespears Sister’s You’re History, All Saints’ Never Ever, and Sugarbabes’ Overload.

And if the songs themselves don’t seem like they’ve left a major mark on the pop and indie maps, the artists certainly do. New Order’s Regret kicks off CD two with that guitar riff, and while it wasn’t as big a hit as, say, Bizarre Love Triangle or the band’s legendary Blue Monday, it has all the hallmarks of a New Order classic and it’s a nice surprise to see on here (I had forgotten the band had links to London Records). Then there’s Happy Mondays’ rave favourite Stinkin’ Thinkin’; Echo And The Bunnymen’s dream pop gem Nothing Lasts Forever; Gay Dad’s alt-rock ode To Earth With Love; and Dannii Minogue’s classic club staple I Begin To Wonder. Even without Dead Or Alive’s You Spin Me Round Like A Record – which features on an alternative version of that latter song, it’s still a good, hooky number that sits nicely amid the broad artistry here.

That sheer diversity of London Records artists also meant artists were free to move around, test the solo life, move into other fields. It’s because of the chilled vibe of the label that lead singer of Fine Young Cannibals, Roland Gift, was able to go do runway work for big designer labels; why Siobhan Faye of Bananarama was given the chance to move on from her bubblegum blonde roots and into darker, gothic-romantic territory as half of Shakespears Sister (their name taken from a Smiths song, the apostrophe and letter ‘e’ purposely missing); why the Mike Flower Pops were allowed to absolutely crucify Oasis’ sacred Wonderwall (that’s on here, too).

The London Records Story moves confidently through synth-pop, nu-wave, indie rock, dance, electronica, ska, and other alternative sounds, demonstrating how the label consistently embraced artists who reflected bold and changing musical trends.

Familiar hits sit comfortably alongside deeper cuts, making the collection appealing to both casual listeners and longtime fans.

The sequencing keeps the energy flowing, with polished pop anthems giving way to club classics and guitar-driven tracks that capture the evolving tastes of two transformative decades. The mastering is generally strong, allowing songs from different years to coexist without sounding jarring. More importantly, the compilation illustrates how London Records balanced commercial success with artistic ambition, signing acts that often influenced the direction of popular music, not merely followed it.

As a summary of the 1980s and 1990s, however, it is best viewed through the lens of one label rather than as a complete portrait of either era. What this compilation does well is capture many defining styles and moods but inevitably omitting major movements and artists released elsewhere (not much New Romantic on here, put it that way). Even so, it succeeds as a vivid snapshot of its catalogue and an enjoyable journey through two decades of memorable music.

A great double-disc set that’s still regularly rotating on the car stereo.

ZZ Top, Fandango!, 1975 on London Records

Fourth release from Texas blues band ZZ Top, Fandango! included an A side with live songs (from The Warehouse, in New Orleans) and a B side of new studio recordings.

A Fandango is a dance originating in Spain and Portugal – which wikipedia tells me “is used as a synonym for ‘a quarrel’, ‘a big fuss’ or ‘a foolish or pretentious act'” – not sure which one ZZ Top were after here.

I think their first eight albums (yes, I include Eliminator) are fantastic though I’d argue after that it is downhill – but the live releases that have continued to come out from earlier days are great.

My copy—via a record fair at Mill No. 5 in Lowell, MA—is a later 1979 Winchester Pressing on Warner Bros. labels.

John Mayall, Down The Line, 1973 on London Records

Compilation of songs previously released: First LP includes songs from Blues Breakers, A Hard Road, Crusade, The Blues Alone, Bare Wires, Blues From Laurel Canyon, and Looking Back, and the second LP is John Mayall Plays John Mayall (1965) which was never released on vinyl in the US (and had not been issued in the US when this came out).

I’m a massive John Mayall fan – I don’t normally try to pick up compilations of things I already have, but this is a good way to get the live tracks on LP2 as I’ve never seen a John Mayall Plays John Mayall in the wild.

My copy is a Bestway Pressing via A1 records in New York City.

The Communards, Red, 1987 on London / MCA

The Communards were a duo of Jimmy Somerville (formerly of Bronski Beat) and Richard Coles, a classically trained musician. They put out only two albums: a self-titled debut and this followup.

I’ve actually got both a Canadian pressing (white cover with red letters) and a US pressing (red cover with white letters) of this LP. I don’t normally try to collect all variants of a given record, […]
