Shopping my Stash #32


I simply loved the Melvita Apicosma Ultra Nourishing Body Balm which came in the British Beauty Blogger Edit Box. It featured in Shopping my Stash #25. I picked up full size from Naturisimo (150ml). Made from three different types of honey it is rich and hydrating and melts into the skin leaving it smelling sweetly. Suitable for all skin types and great for dry skin areas.

Elemis Frangipani Monoi Salt Glow 480g - simply love this gorgeous scented scrub.  See my review here.

Suti Fabulous Organic Foot Balm 50ml - simply love this balm which super moisturises and refreshes the feet. I like to use this just before bed and pop on some socks to lock in the moisture overnight.  See my review here.

Lavera Organic Wild Rose Bath Salts sachet - I received this from Alice in the All things Nice swap - one of my favourites although I'd not used it for a while. Enjoyed a rose scented soak in the bath this week.

Dr Organic Manuka Honey Cuticle Nail Solution 15ml - this is the best cuticle product I've ever used.  It super moisturises the skin and nails and smells divine! 

Glam Minerals Lipsuite Rose Pink - this came in July's Souk Souk box. A preservative free, vegan, vegetarian and Halal approved product. Lip Balm, colour and Lip Gloss in one. Easy to apply with fingertips or brush. Give the lips a pink wash of colour.  Love it!

ila Face Mask for Revitalising Skin* - this came in the ila Little Face Treats* set. A rich clay mask which I've been enjoying using. See my review here.

Have you used any of these products? Are you shopping your stash this week?

British Beauty Blogger Edit Box

My British Beauty Blogger beauty box arrived yesterday!  A limited edition box (there were only 500 and they sold out in a matter of hours). Jane has confirmed there will be a Christmas box (available in November) - I'd suggest you sign up to Jane's emails or follow her on Twitter  so you will be among the first to know!

This amazing box cost just £15 (plus £4.55 P&P) and features Jane's most favourite beauty products.

Here's a picture of when I just opened the box. WOW!


Onto the contents:




Bess wanted in on the photo!




As a huge Jo Malone fan I was excited to see a 2ml sample of Jo Loves Pomelo - which has notes of Pink Pomelo, Rose, Clove, Vetivert, Suede & Patchouli - it's simply gorgeous!  Need to start saving for a full size bottle (30ml - £45, 100ml - £95).




A full size bottle of Trilogy Rosehip Face Oil (20ml - £16.50) - I'm a huge fan of this face oil so pleased to see it included in the box.



The next three items are Elemis Tri Enzyme Face Mask 15ml - I've also used this product before.  It is a gel mask which removes dead skin cells leaving the skin clear and radiant.

There is a Neom Hand Cream 50ml in Complete Bliss Moroccan Blush Rose - my most favourite hand cream...ever - so I'm pleased to have a back up! See my review here.

Philosophy Purity Cleanser 90ml - A 3-in-1 cleanser for face and eyes which removes make up, cleanses, tones and hydrates the skin.



Next up is BIOEFFECT Serum 2.5ml - I love this! It helps with wrinkles and pigmentation and brightens the complexion.

Melvita is another favourite brand - included is Orange Blossom Extraordinary Water 28ml - this is nice and refreshing for spritzing onto the skin anytime of the day. Can also be used for toning.  The Apicosma Body Balm 15ml smells sweetly of apricots.  Looking forward to trying both of these.

CND SolarOil 3.7ml - a 'hero' product which helps keep nails strong, hydrated and supple.  I'm trying to grow my nails just now so this little oil will help!



Finally the make-up!



B Mascara 8ml (£9.99) - Superdrug's own brand - a lengthening & defining mascara which is water resistant and smudge proof.  Looking forward to trying this!

Benefit The POREfessional 7.5ml - a huge fan of this especially to pat on afternoon shine.

Bourjois Cream Blush - this is a cute peach shade - looking forward to trying it out! Full size product.

Illamasqua Liquid Metal Eye Shadow in Electrum 8g - another full size product. This is only my second make up item from the brand so looking forward to trying it out.

Finally, a full size Lanolips Lip Balm 17.5ml in shade Rhubarb - I'm a huge Lanolips fan but not tried this shade yet.

Included is also a range of money off codes from the brands included in the box and an informative leaflet with a message from Jane on the front.




An amazing box.  What are your thoughts?  Did you manage to pick one up?
