SkinLikes Natural Deodorant

SkinLikes Natural Deodorant (70ml - £3.50)* is the creation of Jim & Sheila Steele who run a Bowen Therapy Clinic and online shop from Troon in Ayrshire.

SkinLikes Natural Deodorant* featured in my recent Shopping My Stash post - see here.  

The roll on deodorant is 100% natural. Testing is done at Glasgow Caledonian University which confirms that the product is safe to use.  It contains Bicarbonate of Soda, Xanthan Gum and Plant Based Therapeutic Essential Oils including Jasmine.

There is no sting after shaving, it leaves no white marks on clothes, is suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans and is free from Alcohol, Parabens and Aluminium Chlorohydrate.

A portion of profits are given to Rainbow Valley Charity which helps those living or affected by Cancer.

I love the light floral scent of the deodorant and the fact it keeps me fresh all day long.  I've found it lasts 3 months so find it cost effective.

See the online shop HERE where you will also find some other beauty and healthcare products.

June Empties

Here's what I've been using up in June -

Pure Fiji Nourishing Coconut Exotic Oil 90ml - simply love this coconut scented oil although I found it didn't all melt this time and was a bit gritty towards the end.  Will probably pick it up again at some point though.

Elemis Quiet Mind Relaxing Bath Elixir 300ml - I received this in a QVC TSV a while back.  Nice to use but probably wouldn't re-purchase as I prefer bath oils to bubble baths these days.

Jo Malone Lime, Basil & Mandarin Bath Oil 30ml - received this for my birthday (I got two!) One of my favourite Jo Malone scents.  A real luxury.  Gorgeous!

Perricone MD Nutritive Cleanser 59ml - this came as a freebie a while back.  Really nice. Would consider purchasing it when I use up my stash!

Louise Galvin Sacred Locks Conditioner for Fine Hair 100ml - this came in a Latest in Beauty Box.  Loved it and the shampoo would re-purchase.  See my review here.

Green People Moisturising Shower Gel 30ml - this came in last month's Souk Souk box.  Loved it and would buy again.

Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Shampoo 50ml - this came in the Aveda Latest in Beauty box a while back.  See here.  This was nice enough but I didn't like it enough to buy it again - great box though!

Essential Care Lemon & Tea Tree Facial Wash 30ml - this came in a Souk Souk box.  Really lovely to use and one I'd consider buying again.

Stila Glowing Reviews Gentle Skin Renewal Scrub 10ml - this came in a WIMH set.  Loved its gentle scrub and minty scent.  Would perhaps purchase.

The London Oil Company Morning Glory Body Oil 50ml - simply love this lemongrass scented body oil - a great wake up in the morning.  See my reviews here and here.  Will definitely repurchase once I use up some of my stash!  

Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist 15ml - adore this rose scented toner.  See my review here.  I'll definitely buy it again.

The Little Skincare Shop English Rose Floral Water 60ml - this was lovely to use and I'll maybe re-purchase in future once I use up my current stash.

Caudalie Premier Cru The Cream 15ml - this came in a Latest in Beauty duo. Absolutely loved it but doubt I'll be purchasing it as it costs round about £83.

Rodial Glamoxy Snake Serum 2.5ml - nice to use - it came in a mini set I reviewed here.  Unlikely to buy it full size as it's quite expensive.

Jane Iredale Just Kissed Lip & Cheek Stain mini - this came in a Joliebox - simply loved it. Changes shade depending on your mood - mainly this is pink on my lips but it has been dark pink and a reddish shade too! Luckily I have another mini to use. I'll definitely buy full size soon.

Natural Wisdom Rosehip & Pomegranate Facial Cream Cleanser 100ml - I chose the Rose Floral Essential Oil Blend - a simply gorgeous cleanser and one I'll definitely buy again when my stash lowers a bit.  Featured in shopping my stash in week 6.

MOSSGROVE Deodorant for women 70ml - one of my favourite natural deodorants.  Will definitely buy again.

Saaf Pure Face Cleanser sample - see my review here. I'll maybe buy full size when I use up other cleansers in my stash.

Madara Refreshing Soap 250ml - this came in an Amarya box. I simply loved it.  See my review here.  I've already re-purchased this.

REN Photoactive Sun Veil SPF15 3ml - I liked this, it was easy to blend into the skin. I'd maybe buy full size.

Bodhi Neroli Lucé Revitalising Face Oil 5ml - simply love this lightly scented face oil which makes my skin radiant and renewed and is perfect for the summer months.  Have since bought full size.

Have you used any of these products?

December Empties

Here are my December Empties.  

L'Occitane Angelica Hydration Cream 15ml - love this lightweight cream although I've found it to be more suited to spring/summer months due to its lightness.  Would definitely buy again.  The scent even grew on me!

Elemis Pro-Collagen Lifting Treatment for Neck & Bust 15ml - this was a GWP freebie.  Lovely product although quite expensive full size.

Caudalie Vinosource Mattifying Moisturiser 1ml - nice but too small a sample to really test it.

NEOM Complete Bliss Bath Oil 5ml - this came in December's Amarya box.  Already love these gorgeous bath oils.  You can see my review here.

Noble Isle Summer Rising Bath & Shower Gel 30ml - one of my favourite shower products of the year.  Have bought this full size.

Philosophy Eye Hope Eye Cream 2ml sachet - nice product got a few uses from it.  Unsure if I'd  buy full size.

Simple Cleansing Wipes mini pack - handy after night's out and like to use wipes sometimes.  Will probably pick these up again.  Gentle on the skin.

NEOM Complete Bliss Organic Hand Cream 50ml - absolutely adore this hand cream - the best I've used.  You can see my review here.  I recently bought another.

December Favourites

These are the products I've been reaching for during December.

BRIXI Bee Balm - love this - you can see my review here.  

MOSSGROVE Deodorant - a friend recommended this deodorant to me. Scented with Jasmine and other essential oils it contains little or no parabens or petrochemicals.  It is quite expensive at £4.25 for 70ml - but I won't be without it now! Love the scent and it keeps me fresh all day. I've found it lasts for 3 months so I find it cost effective.

Super Facialist by Una Brennan Rose Radiance Day Cream SPF15 - my dry winter skin is lapping up this moisturising rose scented cream.  Can't wait to try other items in the range. Costs £12.99 for 75ml at Boots.  Also features in the 3 for 2 deals.

Frezyderm Revitalizing Skin Serum - I am testing this anti-ageing serum out at the moment and I am finding it is giving my skin the hydration it needs as well as adding a much needed radiance boost during this winter weather. A Greek brand which is free from parabens.  Full review to follow.

Abahna Aromatherapy Pillow Mist - you will already know my love of this gorgeous British brand. The mist is scented with lavender, neroli and clary sage.  I've been finding it easy to drop off to sleep after misting it lightly over my pillow.

We went for lunch again to House for an Art Lover Cafe and I had this delicious pudding - double chocolate puff pastry stack with passionfruit granita and coconut marshmallows - it was amazing!
