Spending Ban: Update 2

I failed on my ban last week and bought the SW Basics Discovery kit in the a beautiful world #PinkFriday sale. I bought one for me and one for my giveaway - see here.  The kits were reduced to £18 in the sale and I had a tenner worth of points making my purchase a bargainous £26 - so I don't feel too guilty!

Onto my wants this week...

I love the Content Curates kits having picked up the last few. Their New Year Collection is packed full of treats for the mind, body & skin as well as supplements and snacks.  Do you spot my favourite Therapie Himalayan Detox Salts in the kit? (these alone are worth £10). Making this a great value set.



My next want this week is the gorgeous sounding The Jasmine Garden Botanical Mist by May Lindstrom. A 100% natural botanical mist with a "heavenly scent". It calms, heals and restores elasticity leaving the skin dewy and radiant. Want!



I just spotted my next want last night! Shay & Blue Watermelons fragrance spray. It sounds delicious! With notes of Watermelon, Green Mandarin, Honeysuckle, Green Tea and Vetivert. It sounds heavenly and really refreshing and I can't wait to try! I'm going to pick up a sample soon!

My last want this week is Jo Loves A Fragrance Shot Box which contains 10 x 2ml samples of all of Jo's fragrances which is rather an indulgent treat. I'm already a huge fan of Pomelo - maybe after 31st January I'll splurge!


My January Love Lula box arrived last night (the only box I was keeping during my spending ban). It's a great value box and I will use everything but... there are only three items within I've not tried before (the Madara Dextox Mud Mask and the two Vinali products - body lotion & day cream sachet) so I'm cancelling my subscription for now.



If you are on a spending ban how's it going?  What are your thoughts on the contents of the Love Lula box this month?

  2. I always forget to check for new Content Curates kits so miss out on most of the good ones. I have signed back up to Lovelula after a wee break but i felt the same, only a few new brands in there for me too. x

    1. Sign up to their newsletter and you will be one of the first to know! Shame as Love Lula have so many great new to me brands but it always seems to be same-old x

  3. I pretty much want everything you've mentioned now haha. I'm trying to save up for a May Lindstrom product, but it's always tempting to just splurge and get one right away, especially as the Jasmine Mist sounds heavenly x

    1. I know ooops. I suppose there was quite a lot of edible bits so you'd have to be sure x

  5. These are lovely! I especially am lusting over May Lindstrom's The Jasmine Garden and Therapie. I am on an 'unofficial' spending ban at present as I am running out of my facial oil.

  7. I WANT that Jo Loves A Fragrance Shot Box! I haven't tried any of her scents but I guess I would, being such a fan of Jo Malone. Is the box expensive? Tx
