Shopping My Stash - Spending Ban Week 7


These are the products I've been reaching for this week - I've been really enjoying shopping my stash these past few weeks and its something I'm going to keep doing.

PG Embrace EDP 30ml - A certified organic perfume.  You can see my review here.  A really beautiful scent.  You can read more about the perfume's creator, Patricia Gallagher here.

Herbfarmacy Working Hands Cream 50g - a gorgeous pot of rich hand cream with comfrey, calendula & marshmallow.  I also love using this after a session in the garden.  You can see my review here.

Bamford Geranium Botanical Bath Oil 30ml - simply love this bath oil.  One of my all time favourites - its up there with REN Moroccan Rose Otto!

Niki's Organic Lavender & Chamomile Balm 10ml - this is simply gorgeous! I reviewed it here. A nice find when I was cleaning out the bathroom cupboard at the weekend!  You can see Niki's website here.

Estelle & Thild Raspberry Lip Balm 15ml - I received this lip balm in my Selfridges Beauty Box. Really lovely to use. Clear but scented with raspberry. Glossy and moisturising.

Elemental Herbology Cell Plumping Facial Hydrator SPF8 30ml - a voucher for this lovely face cream came in the Telegraph newspaper a couple of weekends ago.  I first tried this as a WIMH freebie.  

Korres Coconut Milk Body Milk 50ml - I adore coconut scents and this is just gorgeous.  A light cream which sinks into the skin leaving it lightly scented with coconut.

Have you used any of these products before?

August Empties


It's time for August empties!

Naked ooh la la creamy bliss Coco de Mer Body Wash 250ml - love this body wash scented with coconut and passionflower scent.  I'll definitely pick this up again and again.  You can see my review here.

Miller Harris Citron Citron Body Lotion 60ml - I got this from What's in my Handbag along with a vial of the scent.  Absolutely loved this and would re-purchase.  #1 of my body lotion project pan.

Clarins Eau Ressourcante Body Cream 200ml - Adore this rich body cream.  I'll definitely buy it again.  Another project pan product.

Freyaluna Stop and Smell the Roses Bath & Body Oil - this came from my Freyaluna Selection Box - loved it would buy full size.

Freyaluna Regain your Balance Facial Tonic - another from my selection box.  I've since bought full size.  You can read my review here.

Antipodes Rejoice Light Facial Day Cream 5ml sachet - this came in an Amarya box.  Lovely cream but I hated the scent so wouldn't purchase.

Suti Cleanse Balm Cleanser sample - love this.  Reviewed it here.  Would buy full size.

L'Occitane Fresh Face Water 100ml - this was a lovely product to use.  Reviewed it here.  Unsure if I'd re-purchase at full price but if I saw it in the sale again I'd snap it up.

PG Embrace EDP sample vial - lovely perfume.  You can read my review here.  Patricia actually sent me a full size bottle after my review which I thought was so kind and generous.  One of my current favourites.

Lush Vanilla Dee-lite Body Lotion sample - love this.  Will definitely buy full size at some point.

NEOM Sumptuous Rose & Neroli Room Mist vial - this was from Amarya box and I loved it.  Would love to buy the full size.

Noble Isle Summer Rising Bath & Shower Gel 30ml x 2 - one of my favourite shower gels of the moment.  Will definitely pick up the full size at some point.

Lancome Hydra Zen Nuit 15ml - lovely night cream.  Got one in my recent Lancome GWP.

Palmers Cocoa Butter Daily Cleansing Gel 150ml - quite liked this, took ages to finish though.  Unsure if I'd re-purchase.

NEOM Tranquility Bath Oil 5ml - loved this little bath oil.  Very relaxing.  Would definitely buy full size.

Miller Harris La Fumee EDP vial - this was lovely with woods and incense.  I'd maybe consider buying it but it is quite expensive.  If you sign up to the Miller Harris newsletter they will send you out sample vials of their newest launches.

Kerastase Bain Satin 1 Shampoo 250ml - the shampoo I always come back to because my hair loves it.  You can see my review here.

Vaseline Aloe Fresh Deodorant - a staple which works for me.

Kiehl's Creme de Corps 5ml sachet - lovely, would definitely purchase full size.

L'Occitane Verbena Sorbet Body Ice Gel 6ml sachet - loved trying this, be fab on a hot day chilled in the fridge.  A limited edition so will not be around for long...would love to purchase but I don't need any body lotions.  

Snowberry trio of sachets 3 x 3ml - Intensive Renewal Face Serum, Night Defence Night Cream and Rich Day Cream - nice to use but doubt if I'd purchase as I didn't love the scents.

Pure Thoughts Yoghurt & Green Clay Face Mask - single use sachet - will purchase at some point really nice and effective product.

Elemental Herbology Eye Elixir 1ml sachet - nice enough but probably wouldn't purchase due to liking the Elemis Absolute Eye Serum too much plus as a 1ml sample not much product to get a good enough idea if it's doing anything. I prefer serums or gel texture in an eye cream.

Aloe Vera+Vitamin E Sheet Mask - love sheet masks got a few in store but would buy again.

Bodhi Ylang Ylang Incensa Bath & Shower Therapy 50ml - loved using this in the bath - made great bubbles and the scent is gorgeous.  You can read my review here.  I want to try some of the other scents in the range.

Eve Lom Cleanser Sachet 5ml - enjoyed using this cleanser.  The original hot cloth cleanser and still one of the best.  I have another sachet to use up. Would maybe buy a full size.  I got about 6 or 7 uses out of this one sachet.

Lancome Nutrix Royal Mains Hand Cream 100ml - I like to get every last drop out of every tube!  Love this hand cream.  Have already stocked up in a recent GWP deal.

NEOM Refresh Bath Oil 5ml - this was lovely to use on the recent hot and sticky days in a cool bath - very refreshing.  Would love the full size.

Creme de la Mer the Moisturising Soft Cream mini pot - gorgeous.  Love Creme de la Mer - doing a project pan with moisturisers to buy one of the CDLM ones!  But I reckon it will take me a year (at least) to do it!

PG Organics Embrace EDP

I contacted PG Organics via Twitter to ask if I could sample their perfume Embrace.  I was very kindly sent two samples*.

Patricia was looking for a natural and organic perfume for her own use, unable to find one she decided to create her own.  In 2007, she travelled to Grasse to train in Natural Perfumery and thereafter was self-taught.  Embrace EDP was launched in April 2011 and was the fragrance runner up in The Ecologist - Eco Beauty Heroes 2011.  It is certified organic by Ecocert.



Described as "chypre with oriental influence underlined by subtle spice".  Notes include Amber, Musk, Iris, Neroli, Mimosa, Rose and Ylang Ylang.  The scent works with your body chemistry so it will smell differently on all skin.  On mine, it is initially spicy, mellowing into amber notes with end floral notes.  I love it!

Finest organic ingredients are used and are traceable back to their sources.  Packaging is recyclable, bottles are reusable and orders are sent in recycled packaging.

The EDP retails at £58 for 30ml and is available from the website or from these stockists.  I'll be adding it to my wishlist x
