February Empties

It's that time again! This month has flown by. Here's what I've been using up and my thoughts.





Melvita Fresh Moisturising Body Milk 30ml - this was lovely to use and lightly scented with roses. One I'd buy once I reduce my huge stash!

Elemis Frangipani Monoi Salt Glow 480g - loved this! Beautiful scent and effective scrub. Would definitely buy again in the future.  See my review here.

Lancome Effect Miracle Bare Skin Perfector 15ml - this was a nice primer and could be worn on it's own on non make up days to even out the skin tone. Lasted ages too. Would perhaps buy again.

Mitchell & Peach Shower Wash 50ml - this was nice to use and lightly scented with lavender. I'd happily use this again.

Creme de la Mer The Hand Treatment 30ml** - a pure luxe hand cream which I thoroughly enjoyed using...but I'm unlikely to buy full size as it retails at £70!

Noble Isle Willow Song Bath & Shower Gel 30ml - a huge Noble Isle fan. I especially like their Summer Rising scent. 

BiOrganics Perfect Balance Shampoo 30ml - this was lovely and left the hair clean and shiny. Would consider buying full size although I'd like to try more from the range.

Ancienne Ambiance Goddess Rose Water 30ml* - a beautiful lightly rose scented spritzer which I used as a toner. Definitely one I'd buy.

Jo Loves Pomelo 2ml sample vial - simply love this! Definitely one I want full size.



Aromatherapy Associates Soothing Skin Tonic 200ml* - this was lovely. Really soothing and hydrating.  See my review here.

Sweet Cecily's Coconut Body Butter sample* - a lovely rich butter. Full size is going on my wishlist!

REN Moroccan Rose Otto Bath Oil 110ml - my favourite bath oil...ever! I got this one from hubby at Christmas but just opened a new one - personalised with my name on it from REN at Christmas.  

balance Me Rose Otto Body Cream 30ml - this is really lovely. A rich body cream scented with rose.  Another I'd buy again.

Skinvelop The Cleanser 120ml - one of my favourite hot cloth cleansers. See my review here. I've just cracked open a new one.





Giorgio Armani Maestro Fusion Make Up SPF15 30ml in shade 4 - my favourite foundation. I'm sure to buy this again although for now I'm just using up small tubes and pots.

Ginvera Green Tea Nude Cover BB Cream 8g* - another product I love (and I've got another in my stash).  See my review here.

REN Jojoba Microbead Purifying Facial Polish 5ml - I really liked the gentleness of this scrub. It's one I'd consider purchasing.

Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist 15ml - love this! See my review here.

July Empties

I'm not going to use anything else up - so here's what I've used this month:











Lancome Nutrix Royal Mains Hand Cream 100ml - simply adore this mega rich hand cream.  I always seem to have one on the go. I tend to pick them up when there are GWP deals on.

Mama Mio Skin Tight Toning Serum 30ml - this came in the WIMH trio. I'd say I liked this product the least out the three.  Didn't see any signs of toning although it was nice enough to use.  You may see a difference with a full size product.  I personally Wouldn't buy.

balance Me Skin Bright Hydrating Mist 60ml* - simply love this and I'll be buying it when my stash reduces.  The best toning and refreshing mist I have ever used.

Seascape Island Apothecary Uplift Body Wash* 300ml - an uplifting scent - great for morning showers.  See my review here

Creme de La Mer The Moisturizing Lotion 3ml - simply love this moisturiser and want to buy the full size at some point.  It just works!

Alison Claire So Remarkable Mango Body Butter 50ml - a lovely mango scented body butter.  See my review here. I'll maybe pick this up again when my stash goes down.

Gielly Green Classic Shampoo 50ml - I'm a huge Gielly Green fan although I think I maybe only slightly prefer their repair shampoo.  Lovely to use though with a great scent.

Dr Bronner's 18-in-1 Peppermint Castile Soap 59ml - simply love this for cleaning my make up brushes (or the bath).  Peppermint's my favourite scent. Have a couple to use but will stock up when they are finished.

Creme de La Mer The Moisturising Soft Cream 5ml - loved this.  See my mini review here

Jurlique Rose Moisture Plus Moisturising Cleanser 100ml - loved this cleanser. See my review here. I'd maybe buy it again.

Trilogy Rosehip Oil Anti-Oxidant+ 2.5ml - one of my favourite face oils. I've got a little stash of these mini ones (thanks Julie!)

Jo Hansford Intensive Masque 40ml - this came from the Latest in Beauty Advent Calendar - loved it - see my review here.

Phyto Phytobaume Express Conditioner 20ml - this came from a Feel Unique box many moons ago! I miss the Feel Unique Beauty Boxes! I quite liked this and I'd maybe re-purchase.

Kai Perfume Oil - a teeny tiny roll on bottle in one of my favourite exotic floral scents.  Will pick it up again after I've used up some that are in my stash (only downside is it's expensive)  You can buy it at Cult Beauty see here.

Giorgio Armani Maestro Fusion Make Up - in shade 4 - simply love this light and easy to blend foundation. It's not cheap but it does last quite a while.  Will definitely buy again.

Gielly Green Classic Conditioner 50ml - nice to use but I prefer the repair option so probably wouldn't buy this.

Abahna Frangipani & Orange Blossom Bath Oil 100ml* - simply love this beautifully scented bath oil.  It featured in my 5 Bath Oils post - see here

Botanicals Hand & Nail Serum 10g - loved this fennel scented oil. Will definitely buy again at some point.  See my review here.

L'Occitane Gel Douche Universel Shower Gel 50ml - loved this citrussy shower gel. It's been lovely to use in this hot weather.  Will maybe pick up full size soon.

Jo Loves Pomelo 2ml vial - this came in the British Beauty Blogger Edit Box - simply loved it and saving up for full size (and some of the other scents).

Bloom Remedies Sleep Easy Bath Oil 50ml - love this orange scented relaxing oil. Will buy again.

Melvita Apicosma Ultra Nourishing Body Balm 15ml - this also came in the BBB Edit box. Loved this rich sweet smelling balm and will definitely pick up full size soon.

Dr Hauschka Almond Soothing Body Wash 10ml - this came in a gift set. Love the light almond scent. Definitely want to pick up full size soon.

June: Lately I've been Loving

Here are the things that are making me happy right now -


I'm a huge Crème de la Mer fan although the only thing I've ever bought is the The Lip Balm which was gorgeous! I've managed to pick up a few samples before and these ones came from the new counter at Harvey Nichols Edinburgh. Suzanne, the manager was really friendly as well as being very enthusiastic about the brand.  She gave me 3ml samples of - The Moisturizing Lotion and The Eye Balm Intense.  Super pleased!


I can't get enough of the beautiful juicy and sweet home grown strawberries which are in the shops right now - yum!


I came across this delicious Belvoir Elderflower & Rose Presse at my local Earthy Store.  See my mini review about the store here.  This is simply delicious served chilled.


I adore nice notebooks and when I saw this teNeues Hanna Werning design I just had to have it! I've been using it for blog notes and drafting posts.


This is the book I've just finished. It was a great read. A review will follow in my monthly book review.



I'm a huge tea fan and these are a few of my favourites.


I'm addicted to hearts!  This quirky one was picked up at a local shop - I'm a huge Tunnocks Teacake fan too.

I came across Wellgreen Lewes on Twitter and recently bought a lovely basked of rose scented products.  This body butter is simply divine! Lightly scented with rose and really rich. It's packed full of shea butter, coconut oil, avocado oil, Vitamin E and rose essential oil. It's the most luxurious butter I've ever used. A full review will follow.




And finally, our dog Bess who I love all of the time!  I thought this was such a cute wee picture - isn't she a beauty.

Spending Ban - Update 7

I was good in week 7 - well apart from buying Marie Claire, Good Housekeeping and Glamour magazine for the freebies!  Still enjoying using my paperblanks* journal to record my spends and wants.



Here are my wants this week - a small (but expensive!) list -


I read in a magazine that Prada were bringing out a new lighter version of Prada Candy - Candy L'Eau EDT - super excited as Prada Candy is one of my all time favourite scents.  It has notes of musk, sweet pea, mandarin and lemon.  Looking forward to going to the counter to try it.



Lancome Genitique Yeux Light Pearl - newest eye cream on the block!  It comes with a massaging applicator.


Finally, a product from a brand which I think are amazing Creme de la Mer.  I've had a sample of this particular moisturising lotion and I loved it.  I can dream!


What products are you wanting this week?  How is your spending ban?

August Empties


It's time for August empties!

Naked ooh la la creamy bliss Coco de Mer Body Wash 250ml - love this body wash scented with coconut and passionflower scent.  I'll definitely pick this up again and again.  You can see my review here.

Miller Harris Citron Citron Body Lotion 60ml - I got this from What's in my Handbag along with a vial of the scent.  Absolutely loved this and would re-purchase.  #1 of my body lotion project pan.

Clarins Eau Ressourcante Body Cream 200ml - Adore this rich body cream.  I'll definitely buy it again.  Another project pan product.

Freyaluna Stop and Smell the Roses Bath & Body Oil - this came from my Freyaluna Selection Box - loved it would buy full size.

Freyaluna Regain your Balance Facial Tonic - another from my selection box.  I've since bought full size.  You can read my review here.

Antipodes Rejoice Light Facial Day Cream 5ml sachet - this came in an Amarya box.  Lovely cream but I hated the scent so wouldn't purchase.

Suti Cleanse Balm Cleanser sample - love this.  Reviewed it here.  Would buy full size.

L'Occitane Fresh Face Water 100ml - this was a lovely product to use.  Reviewed it here.  Unsure if I'd re-purchase at full price but if I saw it in the sale again I'd snap it up.

PG Embrace EDP sample vial - lovely perfume.  You can read my review here.  Patricia actually sent me a full size bottle after my review which I thought was so kind and generous.  One of my current favourites.

Lush Vanilla Dee-lite Body Lotion sample - love this.  Will definitely buy full size at some point.

NEOM Sumptuous Rose & Neroli Room Mist vial - this was from Amarya box and I loved it.  Would love to buy the full size.

Noble Isle Summer Rising Bath & Shower Gel 30ml x 2 - one of my favourite shower gels of the moment.  Will definitely pick up the full size at some point.

Lancome Hydra Zen Nuit 15ml - lovely night cream.  Got one in my recent Lancome GWP.

Palmers Cocoa Butter Daily Cleansing Gel 150ml - quite liked this, took ages to finish though.  Unsure if I'd re-purchase.

NEOM Tranquility Bath Oil 5ml - loved this little bath oil.  Very relaxing.  Would definitely buy full size.

Miller Harris La Fumee EDP vial - this was lovely with woods and incense.  I'd maybe consider buying it but it is quite expensive.  If you sign up to the Miller Harris newsletter they will send you out sample vials of their newest launches.

Kerastase Bain Satin 1 Shampoo 250ml - the shampoo I always come back to because my hair loves it.  You can see my review here.

Vaseline Aloe Fresh Deodorant - a staple which works for me.

Kiehl's Creme de Corps 5ml sachet - lovely, would definitely purchase full size.

L'Occitane Verbena Sorbet Body Ice Gel 6ml sachet - loved trying this, be fab on a hot day chilled in the fridge.  A limited edition so will not be around for long...would love to purchase but I don't need any body lotions.  

Snowberry trio of sachets 3 x 3ml - Intensive Renewal Face Serum, Night Defence Night Cream and Rich Day Cream - nice to use but doubt if I'd purchase as I didn't love the scents.

Pure Thoughts Yoghurt & Green Clay Face Mask - single use sachet - will purchase at some point really nice and effective product.

Elemental Herbology Eye Elixir 1ml sachet - nice enough but probably wouldn't purchase due to liking the Elemis Absolute Eye Serum too much plus as a 1ml sample not much product to get a good enough idea if it's doing anything. I prefer serums or gel texture in an eye cream.

Aloe Vera+Vitamin E Sheet Mask - love sheet masks got a few in store but would buy again.

Bodhi Ylang Ylang Incensa Bath & Shower Therapy 50ml - loved using this in the bath - made great bubbles and the scent is gorgeous.  You can read my review here.  I want to try some of the other scents in the range.

Eve Lom Cleanser Sachet 5ml - enjoyed using this cleanser.  The original hot cloth cleanser and still one of the best.  I have another sachet to use up. Would maybe buy a full size.  I got about 6 or 7 uses out of this one sachet.

Lancome Nutrix Royal Mains Hand Cream 100ml - I like to get every last drop out of every tube!  Love this hand cream.  Have already stocked up in a recent GWP deal.

NEOM Refresh Bath Oil 5ml - this was lovely to use on the recent hot and sticky days in a cool bath - very refreshing.  Would love the full size.

Creme de la Mer the Moisturising Soft Cream mini pot - gorgeous.  Love Creme de la Mer - doing a project pan with moisturisers to buy one of the CDLM ones!  But I reckon it will take me a year (at least) to do it!

Creme de la Mer - the moisturising soft cream

I popped back in to see Joanne at the Creme de la Mer counter the other day and she gave me a sample of the new cream that is being launched on 1st September - the moisturising soft cream.  It's a cross between the moisturising gel cream and the original moisturising cream.  


It is a light cream which is easily absorbed and I have to say I love it.  It feels fab  on the skin and (unfortunately) it makes my skin look great.  I've set myself a little challenge...


Finish these and then I can buy a Creme de la Mer moisturiser - reckon it will take me quite a while to use these up though...

July Empties

That time again - empties! Don't think I've gone through as much as usual this month.


Lush Turkish Delight Rose Scented Body Polish 200g - I bought this with my Christmas gift voucher - smells gorgeous but probably wouldn't repurchase due to the price.  

Lush Lemon Flutter 50g - truly multi-purpose product for dry skin areas - love it. Will definitely re-purchase at some point.  I'm now only two pots away from getting my free Fresh Face Mask.

Avene Gentle Purifying Scrub 50ml - I got this in my Beauty Bible testing bundle - and loved it.  I usually prefer more scrubby scrubs but this smelt really nice and was very gentle - I'd consider purchasing it.

L'Occitane Pivoine Floral Hand Cream 30ml - lovely scent but gel like texture - it didn't feel moisturising enough for me.  I prefer the shea butter hand creams.

ila Body Wash with Apricot & Vetivert 50ml - received this in a travel pack.  Was effective but not really keen on the smell.  Love ila face oil for glowing radiance though.

AD Skin Synergy Nourishing Night Treatment 5ml - received this in an Amarya box - absolutely loved it.  Since bought a bigger size.

John Masters Honey & Hibiscus Reconstructing Shampoo & Hair Reconstructor both 10ml sachets - amazing products. Really want to buy the full sizes especially the Hair Reconstructor - it makes hair look so healthy and shiny.

Balance Me Cleanse & Smooth Face Balm 15ml - I adore this product!  Will definitely purchase full size at some point but got a few of these sizes to use up that I bought on ebay.

AD Skin Synergy Radiant Moisturiser 10ml - a rich cream, quite highly scented.  Would maybe purchase in winter time.

Bamford Geranium Bath Oil 30ml - a staple for me.  Will buy full-size at some point as I love this bath oil.

REN Vetivert v7 Hand & Body Lotion 15ml - this was free with Red Magazine.  Quite liked it but probably wouldn't buy.

Rahua Volumising Shampoo & Conditioner sachets - love these, got a few in supply.

Noble Isle Summer Rising Bath & Shower Gel 75ml - I got this from Wendy - still owe her a swap!  Lovely scent and it made great bubbles in the bath.  Will purchase at some point though I've picked a few mini ones up on ebay.

Elemis Exotic Cream Moisturising Mask 15ml - love Elemis masks.  Will probably pick this up as a freebie or in a gift set at some point - smells heavenly and super moisturises the skin.  A real treat.

Melvita Fresh Micellar Water 35ml - love this! Got this in a Latest in Beauty Box.  Got one still to use.

L'Occitane Angelica Exfoliating Gel Sachet - gorgeous!  Got about 3 uses out the sachet.  Currently loving the Angelica range.

Macadamia Deep Repair Masque 30ml sachet - love this, have collected a few in swaps.  Got a couple of uses out of this.  Made hair really soft and smooth (and it has a lovely scent).

Simple Cleansing Wipes - handy when we were getting the bathroom done.  Would buy these again as they were gentle on the skin.  Handy for late nights too.

Batiste Dry Shampoo - Tropical - 30ml - another lifesaver when we were getting the bathroom done.  Loved the scent and have since bought a full size can.

Prada Candy EDP 50ml - received this for Christmas.  Loved it.  Would definitely buy/hope for it to be gifted to me again.  Miss it.

Pure Thoughts Strawberry & Pink Clay Face Mask - single use sachet - reviewed here.  Pure Thoughts Whipped Shea Butter Tangerine & Jojoba sachet - received this as a free sample with order and have since bought the full size - lush!  The Pure Thoughts range is really fab - I'll get round to trying everything no doubt!

Tom Ford Private Blend White Suede EDP 4ml mini - loved this. Full size on my permanent wish list.  Gorgeous.

Bliss Lid+Lash Wash 30ml - got this from an Amitee box.  Loved it.  No sting/haze over eye area.  Have another 30ml size to use.

L'Occitane Angelica Cream 15ml - one of my favourite moisturisers at the moment.  I actually quite like the "green" scent now and love its light texture and feel on the skin.

Creme de la Mer The Moisturising Gel Cream - mini pot - really loved this.  (thinking of doing project 10 pan for moisturisers - though I reckon it would take me a year at least to use up my supply).  You can see my review here.  Absolutely loved this.  Went instore on Thursday to give Joanne an update on my thoughts and she gave me a sample of The Moisturising Soft Cream (launch date 1st September to try).  Its richer than the gel version but lighter than the cream - can't wait to try.  Review will follow.

Freyaluna Rose Lotion - mini sample pot - adore this rich, gorgeous rose scent cream.  Doing project pan to buy it.  You can see this here.

June Wants

Here are my June wants - the Creme de La Mer and La Prairie ones are lottery win wishlist items!

Creme de La Mer The Body Refiner - I've read amazing reviews but at £80 for a body scrub it will be forever on my wishlist!

Creme de La Mer The Hydrating Facial - eek so pricey! Again, meant to be amazing (and one I'll never be able to afford or justify purchasing).

La Prairie Extrait of Skin Caviar Firming Complex - I bought this a few times a few years ago - it was around the £70 mark then and I winced at the price but an amazing product - so luxurious.  The body cream in this range is sheer luxe - I've tried a sample pot before.

Neil George Intense Repair Mask - have used a sample sachet of this and made my hair so smooth and static free.  Retails at £29. I'm planning on buying this once I've used a few products up.


Korres Mango Shower Gel - again read loads of amazing reviews and this one's affordable!

Sleep-Over

On Saturday we had a sleep-over at my mum and dads (as it was my niece's birthday on Saturday and my mum's on Sunday).  We went for lunch to House for an Art Lover which has an amazing cafe!  The house is really interesting to look around too.  It was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and is well worth a visit if you are ever in Glasgow.

It also has a nice wee shop and I bought these - 


I just love the cute little heart cushion!  I also picked up Scottish Fine Soaps Au Lait Hand Lotion 300ml (they have this in the toilets with the hand wash and its gorgeous - I'll get the hand wash next time!)

Here are the products I took with me for my night away (very restrained I thought - even if I did take two eye creams!) x

Creme de La Mer Samples

I recently signed up to receive the Creme de la Mer newsletter.  The other day I was invited to complete a survey and on completion I got a thank-you email inviting me to go to my nearest counter and get a free sample! 


After a brief consultation I got 3ml samples of The Moisturising Lotion (which retails at £150 for 50ml!) and The Eye Concentrate (which retails at £125 for 15ml).  I've only been using them three days and I am in love with the moisturising lotion, it has a lovely light texture, soft scent and it melts into the skin (I won't be buying this anytime soon unless I win the lottery!).  The eye concentrate is good too but I'm not loving it quite as much.

I once bought The Lip Balm which was the most luxurious (and expensive) lip balm I have ever owned - it was gorgeous!

Have you used Creme de la Mer before?
