Shopping My Stash - Spending Ban Week 1

sorry the pic is a little dark - I need to try and remember to take my photos in daylight!

I'm actually really enjoying shopping my stash as I'm finding loads of things I forgot I love!

I'm a huge fan of Noble Isle's Summer Rising Cornish Hedgerows Bath & Shower Gel (250ml) since getting a few in swaps and buying a couple trial sizes on ebay.  I love the goosberry, elderberry, moss, cut grass and orange blossom scent.  Great for use in the bath or shower and definitely a unisex scent.

Balance Me Cleanse & Smooth Face Balm 125ml - my favourite balm cleanser. You can read my review here.

Butter London Handbag Holiday Cuticle Oil 17ml - want to try and get my nails nice for summer.  Love this coconut and pineapple scented oil which reminds me of holidays.

Moroccanoil Light 100ml - I've had this for absolutely ages.  Love the way it makes my hair look and feel and it is not at all heavy.  Use it on towel dried hair or dry to tame the frizz.

Illamasqua Freak EDP 30ml - I got this in my recent Harrods Haul and simply love it.  It has notes of black davana, opium flower, bella donna, poison hemlock, datura, queen of the night blossoms, frankincense, oud and myrrh.  I find it fairly strong to begin with and then it mellows out to a smokey, sweet floral - wearing it every day at the moment!

YSL Rouge Pur Couture Vernis À Lèvres Glossy Stain - in shade 16.  Love the colour and length of time this stays in place.  My favourite lip product this week.


Have you used any of these products?

  2. My friend let me try her Moroccan oil last week and I loved it! Worked really well with my curly hair so I'll definitely be picking that up.

  3. I've used Noble Isle's bath and shower gel, can't say it smelt very 'cornish hedgerow'! but I like the scent and as you say, totally unisex so kept me and Mr B.P. happy x

  4. The cuticle oil sounds lovely. I've just been using Liz Earle Superskin Concentrate on my cuticles but once I've used it up I might try the Butter London oil.
