Naturisimo Wish List: Rahua, S'Well, ILIA, 100% Pure, REN

I'm always checking out Naturisimo's latest arrivals. These are the ones I'm adding to my current wishlist:


Rahua's Palo Santo Perfume Oil (20ml - £32) had already been spotted and wanted over at Content Beauty & Wellbeing. I need no more perfumes but adore the Palo Santo "holy wood" scent. Sure to pick this up soon.


I've been lusting after S'well's Easts Nesting Bowl in Blue Granite (£35) which keeps food hot/or cold. Perfect for taking lunch to work. It'll be mine and soon!


Not even landed yet but ILIA's brand new Super Serum Skin Tint Broad Spetrum SPF40 (30ml - £43) which gives the skin a tinted pop of colour while moisturising and protecting from the sun. NEED!



100% Pure Pure Yuzu & Pomelo Glossing Shampoo (both 236ml - £19.50) and Conditioner which I just love the sound of.


Rounding up my current wants is REN's latest launch - Perfect Canvas Jelly Cleanser (100ml - £25) which deeply cleans leaving the skin feeling comfortable and ready for moisture.

What's on your Naturisimo wishlist?

Shopping my Stash #112


And so... time for another shopping my stash post! 

I totally adore Jo Loves Jo by Jo Loves which my friend Julie gave me for my birthday last year. See my review HERE. It's an exquisite blend of Grapefruit, Lime, Bitter Orange, Spearmint, Cedarwood, Guaiac Wood, Vetiver, Hedione and Black Pepper.

I think I got the Dr Barbara Sturm Hyaluronic Serum mini in a Cult Beauty GWP. It provides intense hydration and is nice to use, softening out lines and wrinkles as well as nourishing.

I'm a huge fan of lovely Sol Je Janeiro Bum Bum Cream. I adore it's rich vanilla scent and how nourishing the butter is. I try to always have it in my stash.

The little Rituals of Dao Night Hand Balm came as a Feel Unique sample. It's a rich balm with a floral scent which is perfect to use before bed. I'd definitely consider buying this full size. 

My friend Sam gave me the Sea Magik 21 Mineral Mist for Christmas. I hadn't tried this product before although I've tried the brand. It's lovely to refresh, hydrate and soothe both the face and body - I've also used it as a setting spray. 

I'm a huge fan of neroli and Cocorosa's Award Winning Egyptian Neroli Cleansing Oil is simply sublime. It featured in my Valentines Day post HERE.

The final item is Ilia Liquid Light Serum Highlighter a few drops of which I add to my foundation for a bit of glow. I was really pleased with the whole kit I picked up. See my thoughts on it HERE.

What have you been reaching for this week?

Take 5: Lipsticks



These are the 5 lipsticks which I use again and again:

My current favourite is Lippy Girl's Vegocentric Rosie Posie which I first saw reviewed on Hephzibah's blog - it was a true case of "the blogger made me buy it". I lost my first one on a night out (quickly bought another) and mourned it until the new one popped through my letterbox. It is just the perfect brick red with an orange-ish tone. I simply love it and wear it all the time. I only took two lipsticks on holiday and this was one of them!

ILIA Tinted Lip Conditioner in Bang Bang which came in the amazing Net-A-Porter Holiday Kit way back in November last year (and one of my favourite beauty boxes ever). This tinted sheer is so beautiful and the best way (for me at least) to wear red-ish lips. 

Giorgio Armani Rouge d'Armani shade 512 is a lovely deep rose shade which I bought last time I had a make over at Harvey Nichols in Edinburgh. Huge fan of these luxe lippies.

A blogger favourite which has to be Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Boy an easy wearing pink-ish shade which suits everyone and is super glossy.

My final one of the five is my only Tom Ford! The very gorgeous Tom Ford Indian Rose a very wearable rose shade which is really moisturising and long-lasting on the lips.

Are any of your favourites in my top five?

NET-A-PORTER The Holiday Kit

One of my friends on facebook flagged up this amazing beauty box (now sold out) which was available at NET-A-PORTER.COM. Costing only £60 with £5 P&P. I ordered on Wednesday night and it arrived yesterday.

It contains 14 luxury full and travel sizes.  The Earth Tu Face Balm retails for $68 (round about £43). This is a brand I've not heard of before.  So I'm keen to try it out!

The packaging is super luxe, lots of tissue, ribbon and a total joy to open.  I felt like all my Christmasses had come at once!  The box comes with a little tape measure in a branded bag so you can take your measurements before buying clothes online.





Everything comes neatly packed in branded bubble bags (you can also chose to get your goodies in plain brown boxes for easy recycling if you are fed up of the luxe packaging, as if!)



WOW!

Erno Laszlo Phelityl Pre-Cleansing Oil 15ml and Sea Mud Deep Cleansing Bar mini. I've tried the pre-cleansing oil before and loved it. Keen to try the cleansing bar too.

Renouve Anti-Aging Everyday Defence Hand Sanitiser No.1 - Gold 30ml (£22) - this anti-ageing hand sanitiser is free from alcohol and parabens.

B The Eyebrow Experts Eyebrow Gel - Clear (£15) - great to tame unruly brows. Nourishes and doubles up as a clear mascara.

Verso Day Cream 15ml trial size - rejuvenating day cream which stimulates collagen production and can help to reduce the signs of ageing. Vitamin B3 boosts luminosity.

Tata Harper Rejuventating Serum 15ml (£40) - I've tried a few Tata Harper products but not this serum. It helps to combat signs of ageing, boost elasticity and minimise pores.

Susanne Kaufmann Shower/Shampoo 50ml (£10.50) - a brand I've not heard of before. This washes and conditions your hair and body. Great for rushed mornings and travel.

ILIA Tinted Lip Conditioner - bang bang (£22) - my first Ilia product. This tinted red sheer lippy is gorgeous!  Very happy.

Earth Tu Face Balm 25g (£43) - another brand I've not heard of before. Great for dehydrated or stressed skin. Smells gorgeous too!

Chantecaille Liquid Lumiere Anti-Ageing Face Illuminator - Sheen 23ml (£33) - can be worn alone or under foundation for a youthful glow and even skin tone.

Show Beauty Divine Thickening Lotion 150ml (£40) - a thickening lotion which adds volume and shine without weighing your hair down. This has super luxe packaging.

Malin+Goetz Vitamin b5 Body Moisturizer 29ml trial size - an intense moisturiser which absorbs quickly hydrating the skin.

De Mamiel Salvation Body Oil 30ml trial size - huge de Mamiel fan so can't wait to try this. Scented with Ylang Ylang, Rosewood and Jasmine. edit: tried and loved! I'm a huge fan of the rosey Lip Balm.

This Works Sleep Plus Pillow Spray 5ml - great if you have trouble relaxing and are restless throughout the night (me some nights!). Looking forward to testing this out.

What an amazing box. Did you pick one up? What are your thoughts as to the contents?

Natural & Organic Make-Up

I've got a huge stash of make up but not much of it is natural and organic. 



I know I want to try an ILIA Lipstick and some more from rms beauty.

And onto my (very small) collection...



Madara Moon Flower Rose Beige Tinting Fluid - love to use this at weekends for very light coverage. Love the grassy type scent it has too!

rms beauty "un" cover up and "un" powder - these are both staples I use everyday. Expensive but worth it.

bite beauty deconstructed rose lip glosses - my most favourite lip glosses ever! I love the range of shades which give a glossy pop of colour and they are scented with rose. Love.

Neals Yard Remedies Lip Gloss in Goji Berry - this came as a magazine freebie. Glossy sheer colour which is super moisturising.

Medusa Lipstick in Baroque* - a vegan lipstick in a really pretty shade. This came in February's Vegan Cuts box.

Xenca Perfection Lipstick in Spice* - long lasting moisturising colour - see my review here.

PHB Ethical Beauty Lip Pencil in Nude - this came in April's Souk Souk box and works well with the lipstick above.

Lily Lolo English Rose Lip Gloss*, Miami Taupe Mineral Eyeshadow* (review) and Romantic Rose Lipstick. All really wearable shades.


BWC Natural Mineral Eye Pencil in Brown - my main colour choice for eyeliner.

Modern Minerals Eyeshadow in Vixen* - this is a brown with golden shimmer.

Jane Iredale Just Kissed Lip & Cheek Stain in Forever Pink - this is always in my stash as I love its natural shade.

What do you suggest I add to my collection?
