Shopping My Stash - Spending Ban Week 3


These are my products I've been shopping my stash for this week:

KMS California Free Shape Quick Blow Dry 200ml - first received this product in a Carmine box and then in another beauty box.  Loved it so much bought the full size (this is my second one).  It really works for quickening up blow drying time - a lifesaver in the morning before work!

Skinvelop The Cleanser 120ml - an absolutely amazing cleanser which removes every trace of make up, leaves skin feeling fresh and clean with no tightness.  Great value at £10.50 and it smells fab!  You can read my mini review here.  I love trying different cleansers but I'll always have this one in my stash!

Revlon Just Kissable Balm Stain in Lovesick.  Honey is my ultimate favourite shade but enjoying this bright pop of colour this week.

Fresh Sugar Passion Lip Treatment SPF15 - I received a set of these when my friend at work went to Vegas - you can see my post here.  This is a sheer rouge tint.

Neil George Intense Repair Mask with Indian Gooseberry 215ml - this smells amazing and is a great hair mask - you can read my review here.

Pure Thoughts Tangerine & Jojoba Whipped Shea Butter 45g - simply love this gorgeous pot of super moisturising butter scented with tangerine. Deeply moisturises my skin and a pot of this will always be in my stash.

Clarins Moisture Rich Body Lotion 100ml - one of my favourite Clarins products. Super moisturising with a light scent.

Hair Care Products - Shampoo, Conditioner and Treatments

I seem to have accumulated masses of hair care products! I've divided it up into shampoo, conditioners and treatments which you can see below (tomorrow I'll show you my styling and miscellaneous products).





A'kin Lavender & Anthyllis Leave in Conditioner 150ml - this featured in my June Favourites.  A really lovely product it leaves hair conditioned and easy to style, it smells nice and is great value.

John Frieda Full Repair Full Body Shampoo & Conditioner 250ml - I reviewed these here.  Really enjoying using them and may purchase.

Louise Galvin Sacred Locks Shampoo &  Conditioner 100ml - my favourite shampoo and conditioner at the moment.  You can read my review here.

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer 40ml - I got this in February's Feel Unique box and a friend at work just recently gave me some from her giant pot.  Love this product - give hair great shine and makes it look so healthy.

Goldwell Ultra Volume 60sec Gel Treatment 50ml - I got this in last November's Feel Unique box.  A product I don't use that often but like it when I do! Helps with volume and makes fine hair look fuller.

Neil George Intense Repair Mask 215ml - this smells amazing! It's scented with Indian Gooseberry.  A really lovely treatment.  You can read my review here.

Gielly Green Repair Mask 50ml - A fab range of products available for hair and body.  This repair mask is great and a handy size for travel/gym.  You can read my thoughts here.

Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Conditioner 40ml - I got this in a recent Editor's Picks box from Latest in Beauty.  I've not actually tried it yet!

Aveda Smooth Infusion Shampoo & Conditioner 10ml - I bought these from a blog sale.  Nice products - they make hair look smooth.  

Percy & Reed Totally TLC Hydrating Mask 100ml - this was a Glamour magazine freebie which I've not actually tried yet!

Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Shampoo 50ml - from the Latest in Beauty Aveda box.  Still to test this out.

John Frieda Frizz-Ease Overnight Repair Serum 50ml - I've used this a few times and a review will follow.

Redken Nature's Rescue Refreshing Detox Shampoo 200ml - I really like this shampoo and its one I'd re-purchase.  It's great for giving your hair a deep clean. You can read my review here.

Philip B Katira Hair Masque 69ml - this came in the Selfridges box.  Another one I've still to try.  Review will follow.

Leonor Greyl Huiles de Palme 25ml - I got loads of these in swaps and I'm still on my first one!  A great product.  You can see my review here.

Davines Balm 75ml - I received this in Joliebox.  I don't use it that often but enjoy using it when I do and like that it is multi-purpose.

Aveda Damage Remedy Intensive Reconstructuring Damage Remedy 40ml - used this once so far and it seems a good product.  Review will follow.

Phyto Phytobaume Express Conditioner 20ml - this came in January's Feel Unique box but I picked this one up on a swap.  Really effective and one I'd buy full size.

Do you use any of these products?

Neil George Intense Repair Mask



I picked up this Neil George Intense Repair Mask from Beauty Expert recently.  Paypal were offering 20% off and Beauty Expert offer free delivery.  I previously tried another Neil George conditioning product - the Intense Illuminating Conditioner and you can read my review here.

This product is also scented with Indian Gooseberry - it smells so yummy.  Normally retails at £29 for 215ml - a huge tube - will last for ages.

It is ideal for dry, colour treated and damaged hair and is paraben free.  A luxe product which helps to maintain colour, makes hair shiny and helps with hair strength and elasticity.

Shampoo hair, squeeze out excess water and apply the mask leaving on for 2-3 minutes before rinsing.  For a more intensive treatment leave on for 5-10 minutes before rinsing.  It's one of my favourite hair masks.

Have you used any Neil George products?

June Wants

Here are my June wants - the Creme de La Mer and La Prairie ones are lottery win wishlist items!

Creme de La Mer The Body Refiner - I've read amazing reviews but at £80 for a body scrub it will be forever on my wishlist!

Creme de La Mer The Hydrating Facial - eek so pricey! Again, meant to be amazing (and one I'll never be able to afford or justify purchasing).

La Prairie Extrait of Skin Caviar Firming Complex - I bought this a few times a few years ago - it was around the £70 mark then and I winced at the price but an amazing product - so luxurious.  The body cream in this range is sheer luxe - I've tried a sample pot before.

Neil George Intense Repair Mask - have used a sample sachet of this and made my hair so smooth and static free.  Retails at £29. I'm planning on buying this once I've used a few products up.


Korres Mango Shower Gel - again read loads of amazing reviews and this one's affordable!

April Empties

It's that time of the month again! Empties! I am a bit earlier with this post - I'm not going to use anything else up before the end of the month.



This is what I've got through this month and here are my thoughts:

Dr Nick Lowe Cooling Menthol Face Scrub 75ml - this is my all time favourite scrub and as soon as I see I'm running low I pick up another (or wait until Boots are doing their £5 off vouchers).  The best facial scrub I've ever used.

Sisley Sisleya Global Anti-Age Cream 2 x 5ml - got one in my Latest in Beauty box and one in a swap - gorgeous cream - but couldn't justify spending £243 on a full size pot so wouldn't buy.

Clarins Relax Bath & Shower Concentrate 100ml - one of my favourite relaxing bath products, it so soothes aching muscles, would purchase.  This was a generous GWP size.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream 30ml - this was from the Breast Cancer Gift Box in October.  One of my favourite face creams - I always come back to this one - light and refreshing on the skin and it works.

Avon Lagoon Liquid Soap 300ml -  a cheapie but love the scent.

RMK Cleansing Oil Sachet 3ml - love, love, love this oil.  will probably purchase at some point.  Scented with rose and mint - got three uses.

Chanel Hydramax+ Active Serum 5ml - nice to use and smelled good but probably not really suited to my skin type so wouldn't buy.

Neil George Intense Illuminating Conditioner 10ml sachet - loved this, will purchase at some point when I've used some hair products up.

Como Shambhala Invigorate Shower Gel 2 x 50ml - my new favourite, have already purchased full size and got a few in swaps.

Como Shambhala Invigorate Body Lotion 1 x 50ml - love this, got a few stocked up.

Balance Me Rose Otto Body Wash 125ml - love this delicious rose scented      Turkish delight wash. 

Pure Fiji Body Butter - mini pot - lovely rich cream rather than a butter, lightly scented with coconut - love it.

Erno Laszlo Velvet Night Cream sachet - got two uses from this.  Lovely rich cream (got a few stocked up in swaps).

Erno Laszlo Instant Eye Repair sachets x 2 - got approx 5 uses per sachet.  Lovely eye cream but retails at £85 eek.

Erno Laszlo Morning Beauty Rescue/Intensive Porcelain Veil/Refresh Moisture Infusion - sachets - all lovely to use (and got a few more in swaps).  Wouldn't purchase anything from the range as its too expensive - but nice to try out.

G Baldwin & Co Harmonising Bath Oil 25ml - free gift with purchase.  Lovely scent and is reasonably priced so will probably purchase at some point.

Perricone MD Face Finishing Moisturiser 15ml - this was in my free Cult Beauty Gift - I am so in love with this moisturiser!  I definitely want to get this when I've used up the samples/trial sizes etc. from beauty boxes and other purchases.

Elemis Tranquil Touch Body Polish 50ml - lovely body scrub would consider re-purchasing.

Evolve Protein Build Conditioner - Dry/Damaged Hair 7ml sachet - received this in my April Amarya box - nice product, would perhaps purchase.

Age Definance Cleansing Wipes - sometimes only a wipe will do.  Try to use these now and again rather than everyday.  2 packs for £1 in Poundland.  Non-sting which is great.

Bamford Geranium Bath Oil 30ml x 2 - My favourite bath oil, I will eventually get round to buying this but still got a lot from swaps.

Molton Brown Vitalising AB&C Bath and Shower Gel 100ml - love the scent and the luxury of Molton Brown products.  

Garnier Body Intensive 7 days Soothing Lotion 250ml - Calming Honey - love this budget body lotion it really does work.  Great light scent too.  I'd definitely re-purchase.

Spiezia Facial Cleanser 10ml - one of the best balm type cleansers.  Quite a herbal scent so takes a bit of getting used to but removes every last trace of waterproof mascara and eyeliner.

Radox Hand Wash 300ml - chamomile and jojoba oil - delicately scented would re-purchase.

No7 Wipes - got these in the Boots £5 off voucher deal - wouldn't re-purchase as at £7 expensive and I didn't think they worked as well as the cheaper ones.

Garnier Fresh Essentials Toner 200ml - normal/combination skin.  I got this half price at £1.50.  Good budget toner. Would re-purchase.

Clarins Extra Firming Body Cream 30ml - got this in a swap.  Nice enough cream (though prefer the lotion in this range).  Wouldn't purchase as I think there are nicer body creams out there.

Neil George Intense Illuminating Conditioner

I'd never heard of this brand until I received a 10ml sachet in my Cult Beauty free gift.


Amanda George & Neil Weisberg opened the Neil George Salon in Beverley Hills in 2005.  They are both English and went to the states in the early 90s and met while working at Chris McMillan Salon in LA.

The products contain Indian Gooseberry extract which makes the product smell amazing!  A rich cream which you apply to damp hair, concentrating on the ends. Leave on for 2-3 minutes and then rinse.

My hair looked really healthy after using this.  Soft, smooth, nourished and static free.  Retails at £19 for 215ml.  I got three uses out of my sachet.  It is definitely being added to my ever-expanding wishlist.  Also in the range is Intense Illuminating Shampoo which retails at £18 for 215ml, Indian Gooseberry Treatment Oil, which retails at £32 for 118ml and Pure Shot Intense Treatment Spray, which retails at £41 for 15ml.

I just need to use up this little lot first....

Cult Beauty Website

I ordered a couple of things from Cult Beauty (items will be revealed shortly - I am getting them from my mum & dad for my birthday so they are staying wrapped up until then.  I've hidden them away so I'm not tempted to unwrap! - the parcels being wrapped was such a nice touch - wasn't expecting that)  Cult  Beauty are offering a free beauty gift if you spent £60 so it was perfect timing!  You also get to chose 3 sachet samples with your order. Brilliant service, would definitely buy from this company again.


In the gift contains:

15ml BECCA Resurfacing Primer
15ml Alpha H Rejuvenating Cream
10ml TIME face cream 
15ml Perricone MD Face Finishing Moisturiser
Seche Vite Top Coat mini
50ml Bliss Lemon & Sage Body Butter
5ml Aromatherapy Associates Overnight Repair Mask
10ml sachet Neil George Intense Illuminating Conditioner for dry/coloured hair
1ml sachet Collin Regenerating Collagen Gel
sachet E-Boost Daily Health Booster
3ml sachet Egyptian Magic All purpose skin cream

Really excited to try these product out.  I am especially keen to try the Aromatherapy Associates Overnight Repair Mask after reading an amazing review on Jude's blog.   Have you tried any of these products?

My free samples -

1ml Jouer Illuminating Moisture Tint
1ml Solar Oil Nail & Cuticle Conditioner
3ml Aesop Geranium Leaf Body Scrub

Have you bought anything from Cult Beauty?
