Autumn Beauty Swap - with Jen from Jen's Green Skincare

Kat at Tales of a Pale Face recently organised a Autumn Beauty Swap.  I got paired up with Jen at Jen's Green Skincare.

My parcel arrived yesterday and I simply love the contents which include two brands I've never tried before!  Look how beautifully packaged it is. It made me smile and I'm so happy with everything - thanks Jen.




Here's what I received:

lj's very indulgent organic face oil (30ml) - with rosehip, evening primrose and frankincense oils - a brand I follow on Twitter but I've not tried any of Lisa's products before. Jen also gave me soothing organic handbag handlotion (60ml) this is scented with lavender, rosewood and ylang ylang essential oils - so looking forward to trying both.

A brand I've not tried or heard of before is Wild Honey Apothecary which is made by Kat in Wisconsin, USA.  Jen included Strawberry Honey Mud - which smells good enough to eat!  Looking forward to a pampering session.

Jen also included some lovely Neal's Yard products - Aromatic Foaming Bath (100ml) which smells really relaxing. It includes essential oils of lavender, marjoram and geranium. It is said to help you relax and unwind.

She also included some NY samples - Wild Rose Beauty Balm (love this!) and Rehydrating Rose Facial Polish - which I'm looking forward to trying as well as a pukka gorgeous grey tea bag - Earl Grey with a hint of lavender - huge Earl Grey fan so looking forward to having a brew with my yummy galaxy chocolate.

I'm already a huge fan of Louisa Brown Soap and included is a wedge of Pink Peppermint soap - which also smells good enough to eat!

A final touch was a cute mini lavender bag which smells glorious - hand made with lavender from Lisa's garden.

Thanks so much Jen! I absolutely love my swap goodies. Hope you like yours!

You can see what I sent Jen here.

  2. Yay! You must have a great postman for it to have gotten from me (way down south) to you (way up north) by 7.30 the next day :)
    I just wanted to say - do you know how hard it was to find a brand that you've not used before?! haha! I scoured your blog and twitter to try and find something new to you; I'm glad I succeeded and that you are pleased with everything.
    I'll be taking my red slip to the Post Office after work today to pick mine up, very excited to get my hands on what is waiting for me :) x
