Shopping my Stash #75

I've been enjoying revisiting Mendill. Their organic wipes* are really effective and smell great. There are also some new editions to the range including the gorgeous Jasmine and Grapefruit scents. Really handy for summer and holidays. See my review HERE.

I've been spraying the delicious Jo Loves Pomelo which is the perfect summer scent. See my review HERE. 

Omorovicza's Queen of Hungary Mist refreshes and hydrates the skin (perfect for summertime) and is scented with Neroli & Rose. Gorgeous!

Schmidt's Bergamot+Lime stick is my favourite natural deodorant. It keeps me protected all day and smells great. I love this scent. It features in my Top Three over at a beautiful world.

I'm slightly obsessed with new to me brand Supernatural Beauty. A 10ml size of their Redemption Face Oil came in the recent Content Beauty GWP. This oil is simply divine - it's scented with Rose Otto Damask (swoon) and packed full of good things for the skin incuding Rosehip, Grapeseed, Evening Primrose, Wheatgerm and Carrot Seed oils. It leaves my skin looking radiant and healthy. Love.

Shopping my Stash #39

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

Dr Organic Manuka Honey Cuticle & Nail Solution 15ml (£6.19 - offer at Holland & Barratt buy one get one half price at the moment) - I simply love this super moisturising cuticle serum.  It leaves the cuticles and nails in great condition and it smells rather nice too.

The Argan Company Argan Oil 30ml* (£11.99) - I won this in the company's first Twitter competition.  This oil is cold pressed from the nut, is ethically produced and rich in nutrients and essential fatty acids. My skin, hair and nails have been loving this super moisturising oil. A fuller review will follow.

Mendill Organic Wet Towelettes** - I reviewed the Lavender ones here. I love how they each have some of the same uses (use on hands and body) but some different uses too. Organic Tangerine** an opened towelette can be used to refresh the air in the bathroom and you can use it to remove oil, grime, grease and to wipe counter tops.

Organic Lemon** can be used as a face astringent or aftershave.  You can also massage the towelette onto your forehead to help with concentration issues. Organic Orange** can be put in the fridge to refresh after exercise or on a hot day. It also brightens the skin and Organic Eucalyptus** freshens, deodorises, relieves sore muscles and can soothe sunburn.

eos Summer Fruits Lip Balm - love this natural and fruity lip balm. Lasts for ages too!

Naturally Nourished Frankincense Hand Cream sample - a rich hand cream stuffed full of nourishing shea butter, kukui nut oil and scented with ylang ylang, rose and frankincense essential oils. Gorgeous!

Clinique Chubby Stick Intense in Roomiest Rose - this is a really lovely deep rose shade.

Love Lula Beauty Box - October 2013

My Love Lula Beauty Box arrived the other day.  You can see what's inside below -

I was initially a bit disappointed to see all the sachets - although I love Mendill - see my review of the Lavender Organic wipe here. Included in the box is a lemon wipe.

The full size item is Lavera Beauty Balm 6-in-1 Tinted Moisturiser (£17.90 - 30ml) - the box is £12.50 including P&P - making this a great value addition to the box. I've tried this and it seems like a good product with light coverage although it does seem quite a dark shade so wouldn't suit everyone. Suitable for all skin types.

The other samples are Santaverde Light Aloe Vera Cream 2ml (not a fan of this range) and Dr Hauschka Melissa Day Cream 1.5ml which I've used before and thought it was ok.

Did you get this box?  What are your thoughts?

Mendill Pure Organic Wet Towelettes

I first saw these wet towelettes on British Beauty Blogger.  While browsing Love Lula last week I came across them.

Using the highest grade natural ingredients the wipes are 100% organic.  You can use them to wipe away dirt, to deodorise, for baby's bottoms, for use on hands, feet, body and face (although the lavender ones I bought are quite highly perfumed so I'd be wary using them near my eyes), use in the tumble dryer, place an open one beside your bed to help you sleep and for bee stings.  I think they'd be nice to refresh on a hot day and useful to use while travelling.

They cost £10 for 20 individually wrapped towelettes. Other scents available - lemon, tangerine, orange and eucalyptus.

Mendill donate 1% of their sales to the Planet Growing Movement in support of environmental  causes. No animal testing and the outer packaging is recyclable.
