Shopping My Stash #80

Here's what I've been reaching for this week:

Avalon Organics Clarifying Shampoo 325ml - this is probably the best clarifying shampoo I've ever used. It's great for getting rid of product build up and refreshing the hair. See my review HERE. I spotted the range for sale when last in Waitrose.

4160Tuesdays London 1969 - this is my second bottle of this lush scent. See my thoughts on it HERE.

Plant ØÅ Face Oil 30ml* - simply love this balancing oil. See my review HERE.

Evolve Beauty Lip Treat sample - this lip balm came in Evolve's sample pack. It's really lovely and I'll buy full size when it's finished. It deeply nourishes the lips and has a mouthwatering orange scent.

John Masters Organics Sea Mist - I'm absolutely obsessed with this product just now and used it every single day on holiday. Just recently picked up the full size. It's one of my favourite products this summer.

I came across Bramley Products on holiday and their Body Lotion with Juniper berry and Bergamot smells fantastic. It detoxifies and moisturises the skin.

I've fallen in love with every Gallinée product I've tried! Their La Culture Hand Cream* is just amazing - see my review HERE.

Here's what I've been reaching for lately:

Saach Organics Liquorice and Carrot Seed Day Protection Lotion and Sunscreen SPF15 which is perfect for using just now.  It has a delicious spicy scent. See my review HERE. Huge congratulations must go to Saach Organics who recently won a host of awards over at The Green Parent mag.

I've been testing out Skincere's Day* and Night Creams* and they are perfect for sensitive skin types as the products are free from preservatives, alcohol, wheat, soya, dairy and fragrance free. Very effective with gorgeous packaging. The creams melt easily into the skin leaving it comfortable and nourished.

As you know I'm a huge fan of Skin & Tonic's STEAM CLEAN (which is up there in my 5 favourite products of all time). I'd say their Rose Mist* is a close second! It refreshes and tones the skin and smells of roses. Totally lush. See my review HERE.

I used to love REDKEN's natural detox shampoo which sadly they discontinued. My current favourite if Avalon Organics Clarifying Lemon Shampoo which deeply cleanses the hair without stripping. It's absolutely fantastic (as well as being brilliant value). See my review HERE.

I'm a huge fan of fig scents and my favourite being cult classic Philosykos by Diptyque. Figuier & Osmanthus EdT from L'Occitane was limited edition last summer and is fruity and refreshing. It featured in my summer scents last year (link).

My Top 6: January - June 2016

These are my top products for January, February, March, April, May and June:

In January, I fell for budget friendly Avalon Organics Clarifying Lemon Shampoo 325ml - Ria at NatuRia Beauty recommended it to me. It's great for removing product build up and leaves the hair refreshed, clean and shiny. See my review HERE.

February's number one product was much coveted OSKIA Renaissance Hand Cream  75ml which is an exquisite rose scented treat. See my review HERE.

In March I won Terre Verdi's first Instagram giveaway and one of the products I chose was the gorgeous super luxe FranchouliPom Body Oil 100ml*. See my review HERE.

April's favourite was Jo Loves Pomelo perfume 50ml which I absolutely adore. I'm currently wearing it just about every day. See my review HERE.

In May, I fell for Gallinée La Culture Foaming Facial Cleanser 120ml** which I know I'll buy. See my review HERE.

And this month I discovered the fab brand Supernatural Beauty and their gorgeous Redemption Face Oil 10ml which came in my Content Beauty GWP see HERE.  I have absolutely fallen head over heels for this rose scented oil and will replenish it soon! See my review HERE.

What's in your top 6 for the first half of the year?

Antipodes Delight Hand & Body Cream - I've got a lot of love for this gorgeous brand and definitely want to try more from it this year. See my review HERE. It's a beautiful cream scented with Vintage Gardenia petals with green notes.

Studio 78 Liquid Lipstick in Let's Get Married - Rose Wedding - it's an intense deep rose and is highly pigmented and also stays on all day/night.

Grown Alchemist Watermelon and Vanilla Lip Balm - which is the lushest and most delicious balm I own. Glossy too.

Mitchell & Peach Flora No.1 Fine Radiance Oil - this is a really fab nourishing oil which I received in a YOU Beauty Box which is packed with anti-oxidants and vitamins. It blurs fine lines, plumping and adding radiance to the skin.

Avalon Organics Volumising Rosemary Shampoo - having loved Avalon's Clarifying version (review) I picked up a couple more. This volumising shampoo is fantastic and leaves the hair looking fuller, shiny and clean. Love this brand.

Avalon Organics Clarifying Lemon Shampoo

I put a shout out on twitter for a good clarifying shampoo and Ria at NatuRia Beauty suggested this one by Avalon Organics.

I picked it up at Lucy Rose, a fabulous online Organic Beauty Boutique. You can choose 3 samples (more with a bigger spend) with your order and collect loyalty points. The store has a huge range of brands.

The shampoo costs £5.99 (325ml) and is fantastic. I used to use REDKEN's Nature Rescue Refreshing Detox Shampoo (review) but unfortunately it was discontinued.

It removes build up and restores brightness and shine and smells gorgeous. Containing plant derived cleansers, lemon essential oil, Vitamin E, quinoa protein, aloe and chamomile.

To use: apply to wet hair, massage into a rich lather and rinse. You can then use the matching conditioner if you desire.

Free from parabens, sulphates, synthetics and phthalates. The bottle is made with 100% recyclable materials.

I'm really pleased with the way the shampoo makes my hair feel - clean with lots of volume and shine.
