Things are going quite well surprisingly although I did buy InStyle magazine for the free beauty supplement. It gives me hours of enjoyable reading and deciding what products I want to try. I also picked up my free L'Occitane Hand Cream for L'Occitane reaching 75k fans on Facebook. I picked Shea Butter (30ml) worth £8. I also got a nice surprise parcel from Grace at All that Slap Blog - thanks so much Grace! There is a little surprise in the post to you.
I'm still enjoying using my paperblanks* journal for recording my spending/wants. I think after the ban finishes I'll use it for blog post ideas and keep recording wants.
Here are the things I've been wanting this week:
RMS BeautyLip2Cheek in Smile - £28 - a tinted mineral stain which can be used on lips and cheeks. Such a pretty shade.
The Organic Pharmacy Rose Balm (£25 for 10ml) - A new product from The Organic Pharmacy - a multi-purpose balm suitable for lips, nails, hair, and dry skin on the face and body. Contains Rose, Marigold, Argan Oil, Vitamin E, Rosehip and Shea Butter. I love a multi-purpose product and I bet this one smells divine!
Mitchell & Peach Kentish Cobnut Scrub (£36 for 260g) - I read about this in the beauty pages of Psychologies magazine last week. Sounds like just my kind of scrub - I like a gritty one and this contains ground shell from cobnuts, sugar, coconut, sweet almond and palmarosa, honey and lavender essential oil.
Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler - £20 - have read so many great reviews about these especially Mez's at All Made Up.
Badger Yoga & Meditation Balm (£6.09 - 28g) - this sounds ideal for de-stressing and calm.
Tara Smith Shampoo & Conditioner - I'm unable to download a photo but you can pick this vegan and natural hair care range at M&S.

DeleteYou really are doing so well Sandra. I hope you are saving the money you aren't spending to treat yourself to something lovely once the spending ban is over, maybe a nice break away somewhere, depending on how much you save of course.

Thanks Angela! My bank balance is looking a lot more healthy. I'm going to look at all the things I've wanted every week and buy a few...or not if I don't want them anymore ;) x
DeleteHi there Sweety :)
ReplyDeleteIm also trying to not buy lot of stuff but i never be in a sort of ban at all...i guess for me it's a matter of control LOL
I can tell you that I also have in my wishlist the RMS Lip2cheek Smile, the Rodin Olio Lusso, some May Linstrom products and Tsi La Roll On Perfume but that's a lot of money to spend!
The badger Balm yoga & meditation is nothing really special..is doesnt linger even 5 minutes in the skin and except the Cheerfull Mind, the other are a lot of money! Here is my Badger Balm tag if you want to know all about this little goodies http://bambiorganics.blogspot.it/search/label/Badger%20Balm

Thanks Emma. Beforehand I was always buying magazines and beauty items I didn't need. I've avoided the shops which helps! x
DeleteWell done for keeping up the spending ban :) The body scrub sounds amazing, I bet it smells incredible too! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am sure it will be amazing! I may be tempted after the ban x
DeleteOMG that scrub sounds amazing!!! Just the kind of scrub I love too. Think it's going on my wishlist now as well! lol. x
ReplyDelete:) I know I thought it sounded gorgeous! It was suggested in the mag to use it on dry skin before getting into the shower x
DeleteI am on a spending ban too! It is so hard with the new MAC Archies collection out! But so far I'm going strong!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you are managing to resist ;) x
DeleteYou are so strong to do this ban, go girl : ) I want to get that SU curler as well, in gold color : ) I ordered the olio lusso for face last week, there was 10% on all products on that web page I shared, for st valentines special. Hopefully olio lusso will be good to my skin as well : )
ReplyDelete:) x
DeleteI an personally vouch the Shu Uemera eyelash curlers are the BEST I have ever used! You def need to purchase them after the ban if you have awful straight short stumpy eyelashes like mine :) Keep up the good work! :D
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely pick them up or ask for them for my birthday! x
