Shopping my Stash #23

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

Elemis Frangipani Monoi Salt Glow 480g - simply gorgeous and smells divine! A real luxe product to use in the shower.  See my review here.

Desert Essence Coconut Body Wash 237ml - I picked this up recently - see here. The first time I've used this natural brand.  Smells gorgeous.

Opale Lumiere d'Opale* 50ml - A simply gorgeous shimmery body oil.  See my review here.  It's one of my favourites this summer.

Palm & Soul Lips & Shimmer* - this tint gives a natural red glow and is scented with blood orange - simply yummy. Nice and moisturising too.  Can also be used on the cheeks to give a touch of colour.

Anastasia Beverley Hills Covet Waterproof Eyeliner in Black - this was a freebie in a goody bag from Cult Beauty a while back.  One of my favourite eyeliners - it just stays put!  You can pick it up here.

Weekend Away

We were over in Glasgow for a wedding reception on Saturday night and decided to make a weekend of it and stay the Friday night too with my folks.  We had lunch on Friday at  House for an Art Lover Cafe - we go here quite a lot and the food is fantastic as well as great value.  In the shop I bought this cute little spoon rest which was in the sale.

On Saturday afternoon we went to Whole Foods Market Giffnock which was wonderful - we picked up some foodie bits (and I managed to buy a beauty item too!)  The beauty section is packed full of natural brands - so nice to see Antipodes, Pai, Weleda, Intelligent Nutrients and Bach perfumes to name a few - I normally just see these brands online.

My mum had got me up some lovely bits and pieces from offers in the Daily Mail newspaper - thanks mum!

Included is:

A gift set which contains - Pecksniff's Happy Hand & Body Moisturiser 250ml, Pecksniff's Alive Bath & Shower Gel 250ml, Arran Aromatics Lavender & Tea Tree Facial Gel Wash 100ml, bellapierre Volumising Black Mascara 9ml, a Calvin Klein lipstick in Flutter and a mini Nails Inc polish.  

The other two items were separate offers - PH Advantage AM Multi-Complex Moisturizer SPF 20 51ml and Essential Care Organic Hand & Body Lotion 150ml.  I'm really pleased.

Here is my overnight beauty bag - 

When coming home we stopped by Krispy Kreme for a lovely box of assorted donuts nom nom!
