Two Odacite sample vials - Papaya & Geranium Serum Concentrate and Acai Rose Serum Concentrate - these seemed nice but with only one use I couldn't really tell if they suited my skin or not.






PERFUME SAMPLES:

Annick Goutal Eau D'Hadrien EDT sample vial - a gorgeous refreshing citrus scent perfect for summer. Would love full size.

Lucy Annabella Organics Argan & Bergamot Treatment Oil

I first received Lucy Annabella Argan & Bergamot Treatment Oil in Amarya's final box last month - see here. I simply loved it and took advantage of the 20% off for beauty box subscribers for any items in the box.



I simply love the packaging - ideal for gift giving (and you can recycle both glass bottle and box).  The oil is scented with Bergamot, Lemon, Lavender and Cypress with oils of Soyabean, Sesame, Argan, Avocado, Apricot and Rapeseed along with Rosemary Extract.

Products are hand made in small batches and are made with 100% organic ingredients. Will awaken, nourish and revive the skin so it's perfect to use after your morning shower or for massage.  To use - pour some of the oil into the palms and massage onto the body.  

Colleen Harte, a Complementary Therapist and Clinical Aromatherapist is founder of the range which is based in the heartland of Northern Ireland - Ballygawley in Co Tyrone.  She has developed each organic formula and each product is "blended and bottled with love."  The name of the company came from Colleen's grandfather - he used to call her Lucy Annabella as a pet name.

There are also a lot of other enticing products on the website. I'm especially liking the look of Cloud Nine Aromatic Bath Milk and the Rose, Patchouli, Ylang Ylang & Mandarin Candle

Accorelle Day Cream 2ml - hard to tell if I liked it as it was such a small sample. Nice enough but probably wouldn't buy.


Nuxe Body Fondant Shower Gel 30ml - this was nice to use and left the skin clean and fresh. I've a few more of these to use up.






Bohemian Naturals Perfume Samples - see my review here. I'll maybe pick up Amber Rose which was my favourite.

Bamford Botanical Geranium Bath Oil 30ml - one of my favourite bath oils ever!  Have a few of these to use up that I got in swaps.

A Post-Holiday Haul

When I came back my holidays recently I had a bit of a splurge shopping online.  Here's what I picked up.

Balance Me Skin Bright Hydrating Mist £20 for 60ml - I simply adore this light and refreshing mist.  It featured in Shopping My Stash and my Balance Me Favourites posts.  I bought it from Naturisimo who at the time were offering a free One Love Organics sample set with orders over £15.


I picked up these lovely Merionwen goodies - Turkish Delight Lip Balm (£3.50 for 52g) and Vintage Rose Bath Treat (£2 for 5g).  See my post here.


Look how gorgeous the bath treats are - made me smile when I opened up the package - these would make a fab small gift.





A lovely Caudalie hand cream - in Feuille de Cassis (£6 - 30ml) - a rich hand cream scented with blackcurrant leaf, wild blackberry and Bergamot.  See my review here.


I'm nearly finished my first bottle of Skinvelop Cleanser (£10.50 - 120ml).  See my review here. This is one of my favourite cleansers and I'll always have it in my stash!  Jean also very kindly popped me in a couple of samples - Bamboo Glow - a facial exfoliator and Daily Rose Balm which smells gorgeous!  You can get further details about the products here.


I forgot to show you earlier two products I picked up on holiday - we stopped on the way home at Tarbert and I popped into the Loch Fyne Gallery a lovely shop with artwork, books, cards, jewellery, beauty products, candles etc.  I simply love Isle of Skye Soaps and I picked my favourite - Lemongrass Scrubby Soap.

I also bought Gigha's Natural Skincare Organic Coconut Body Butter 30ml - which I thought looked quite interesting. 




I simply loved the Lucy Annabella Organics Argan & Bergamot Organic Treatment Oil I got in my August Amarya box that I took advantage of the very generous 20% off any of the product featured in this month's box and bought a full size bottle (125ml).  This also came with a Trial Size Treatment Oil (10ml) which came free with any Lucy Annabella order (while stocks last) and if your order is over £5 you can choose three samples - I chose A'kin Macadamia & Wheat Conditioner (8ml), Estelle & Thild Facial Serum Rose Otto (2ml) and Lavera Beauty Balm 6-in-1 Tinted Moisturiser (1ml).



Have you used any of these products before?

Amarya Beauty Box Review - August 2013

This is the last Amarya Beauty Box before they re-launch as the Love Lula Beauty Box from next month.


I've used the Lavera and Inika products before.  The one I'm most excited about is Lucy Annabella Argan & Bergamot Treatment Oil.  It can be used for massage or as a body oil and smells wonderful.  I received a 10ml sample (full size 125ml retails at £38).

Also included is a full size Inika Brow Pencil in Brunette Beauty - I received this in my May Souk Souk box.  It is worth £13.50.

There are two Lavera minis - Basis Hand Cream (20ml) and Basis Moisturising Cream (7.5ml).  These will get used but I've received these in previous boxes.

Did you get this box?  What are your thoughts?

Splurge!

I finally got up town to shop what was left of the sales (also a little Naturisimo and a Harrods haul which has still to arrive) - Nardine at Live...Laugh...Love picked me up a couple of things in the sale - thanks huni! These will be my last hauls posts before my spending ban kicks in on 15 January.


I seem to have picked up a lot of cleansers uh-oh!

Soap & Glory Whipped Clean - I've read loads of reviews about this shower butter - all good! This cost £8 and a review will follow.

I'm currently using Super Facialist by Una Brennan Radiance Day Cream SPF15 and it is fantastic!  I'll be reviewing it shortly.  It is my favourite moisturiser of the moment so I was keen to try some other products in the range.

I picked up Miracle Makeover Facial Oil - which is a pre-cleansing oil and Calming Creamy Cleanser.  The range is on special offer at the moment. The oil is £9.99 instead of £14.99 and the cleanser £5.99 instead of £7.99.  Also in the Rose range is a scrub and a mask.

I was watching one of Fleur De Force's videos and she mentioned Soap & Glory's Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick.  I picked one up in Plum Jam - a subtle wash of glossy colour scented with vanilla.  This cost £6 down from £8.

Soap & Glory Peaches & Clean - I love this cleanser so happy to pick it up. Was £6 saving £1.

I also picked up Natural Wisdom Rosehip & Pomegranate Antioxidant Cream Cleanser after reading Danny's glowing review which you can see here.  I chose the Rose Floral Blend.  Costs £14 for 50ml plus P&P.  I adore the Natural Wisdom Rose & Pomegranate Antioxidant Hydrating Toner and you can see my review of it here.

From Naturisimo I bought Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist (£16.77). They are currently running an offer if you buy anything from Jurlique they will send you a free 15ml Rose Hand Cream.  I first tried the mist when I received it in the Latest in Beauty YOU In-Flight Travel Kit and I loved it. 

I also chose to buy a 15ml sample of Geranium & Frankincense Body Moisturiser from Lucy Annabella Organics - a brand I've not heard of before.

I'll show you what I got from Harrods when it arrives!

Have you used any of these products?
