April: Lately I've been Loving

So many April loves..

I'm thoroughly enjoying Sara Sheridan's fabulous Mirabelle Bevan Mysteries. I read the 1st and 2nd books in the series last month (link) and can't wait to read about what Mirabelle gets up to next!  Pick yours up at Amazon.

I'm currently testing out bodhi & birch's latest launch - a new blend of their fabulous Desert Rose Facial Oil*. I'll be reviewing it soon! Pick yours up HERE (psst...it's gorgeous!)

I recently reviewed Earth Mother Soul Sister's Perfume Collection 1** which is available to buy at Love Lula. I absolutely loved the collection of perfumes. My absolute favourite is Violet Rose which I will buy soon. See my musings HERE.

And, in a true case of the blogger made me buy it....guilty as charged Lynda! 

Lynda has a drool worthy Instagram Feed and I can honestly say she's to blame! I must admit I was in beauty heaven when the Kjaer Weis Lip Tint arrived (passionate). The packaging is just WOW, really weighty and luxurious and of course, the shade fabulous. It won't be my last buy, that's for sure.

I've had the real pleasure of trying out A Little Star-Dust EdP* and Two Eternities EdP* by Walden which is an exciting new perfume launch at Love Lula. Both are gorgeous. Again, expect review soon!

As you'll know I love anything rose and this Rose Oud Soy Wax Candle* by [M] Botanicals is just exquisite. The candles are hand poured with love and have a burn time of 20-25 hours. Again, another product I'll be reviewing soon!

For my birthday, earlier this month I received Shay & Blue's latest launch - Dandelion Fig which is a simply stunning scent. It has top notes of Dandelion leaf, fresh greens and lemongrass, a heart of tomato vine and juniper with a fig base note. It's absolutely incredible and one of my favourites from the range.

Birthday fizz at Harvey Nichols.

I also picked up at Amazon - Clean Beauty - Recipes to manage your beauty routine naturally by Clean Beauty Co. Elsie and Dominika are also part of Clean Cult - fabulous sounding wellbeing events held in London (I really want to go to one sometime). The book is fantastic and I'm looking forward to trying some of the skincare recipes.

Another candle! Grapefruit+Sage by Wax+Wick which I adore! Love the wine bottle container (and it's ruggedness), the use of soy wax, beautiful scents and of course the clever use of repurposed glass - wine bottles from the pubs in Primrose Hill! Again, a fuller review will follow. I just LOVE!

What have you been loving this month?

Love Lula: Earth Mother Soul Sister Organic Perfume Collection

As you'll know I love perfume and am always looking for interesting new ones to try. I've been sampling Earth Mother Soul Sister's Organic Perfume Collection Box 1 (£55 - 6 x 5ml)* which is available from Love Lula.

Earth Mother Soul Sister is a brand I've been aware of but I haven't tried anything from the range until now. There is a real boutique and treatment room in Ramsbottom in Bury and the products are certified organic by the Soil Association, are Vegan and are made and formulated by sisters Rachel and Joanna.

Rachel is a facialist and aromatherapist while Joanna a fine artist, reiki practitioner and aromatherapist. They both have studied natural perfumery and Joanna's artwork appears on the packaging. The perfumes are made with 100% natural and botanical essences and 100% certified organic grain alcohol and are EdP strength.

Inside this selection is:

Violet Rose: a beautiful sweet floral which smells deeply of rose with a hint of violet (this is my favourite)

Petitgrain Green Tea: a woody and refreshing scent. The addition of green tea brightens and uplifts

Vanilla Tonka: a creamy sweet vanilla with a hint of spice

Bergamot Sage: uplifting bergamot with herby sage notes (my second favourite and unlike anything in my collection)

Jasmine Sandalwood: heady, rich and floral with a touch of woods

Angelica Marjaram: this is my least favourite from the selection - it's just a little bit too herbal for my tastes

It's a great selection however and a fab way to try out new scents. Of course, I now want Collection 2 which contains bottles of Sandawood, Neroli Mandarin, Spice Silver Fir, Geranium Bergamot, Orange Patchouli and Ylang Ylang Jasmine.

Have you tried any products from Earth Mother Soul Sister?
