Naturisimo: Glow Starter Kit

As you'll know I'm pretty obsessed by Naturisimo's Starter Kits having reviewed their Moisturisers one HERE and Night Care Starter Kit HERE. I was buying a late birthday gift for a friend who's birthday is in April like me (we're hoping to catch up soon!) and so, I had to pick something for me too - I chose the Glow Starter Kit £17 (worth £32). 

You also get 10% off a product in the kit if you find there's something there you can't live without. Naturisimo also slipped in a free sample sachet of Susanne Kaufmann's Body Butter, which of course I now need full size!

The kit comes in a branded re-usable Naturisimo cotton bag and inside the GLOW Starter Kit is:

3 x 1ml sachets Josh Rosebrook Herbal Infusion Oil 

3 x 1ml sachets Tata Harper Elixir Vitae Eye Serum

Odacite Vital Glow Wild Carrot Serum Concentrate 0.6ml

Pai Light Work Rosehip Cleansing Oil 10ml 

Leahlani Skincare Meli Glow Illuminating Nectar Mask 7ml

Caudalie Vinoperfect Dark Spot Correcting Moisturiser 15ml

April Empties

Here's what I've been using up this month (I think this is the smallest amount of empties ever!) I'm not going to use up any more so here goes..

Evolve Organic Beauty Citrus Blend Aromatic Wash 60ml - I loved this uplifting wash in my morning shower. Would buy full size.

Make Skincare Hands Replenish Pink Grapefruit Cream 15ml* - a beautiful hand cream which I just loved. See my review HERE. Full size is firmly on the to-buy list.

Evolve Organic Beauty African Wash sample size - Again, this was gorgeous and I'd buy full size. I love when you order directly from Evolve you can chose 3 sample sizes with each order.

Daisy & Mallow Nourishing Winter Body Oil 50ml - lovely to use and I'd buy again next winter - it's currently still on sale though. It has a base of sesame, coconut and rosehip and is scented with Grandiflorium jasmine, cardamon, clove bud, vanilla and sandalwood. I've now got my eye on the oil for Spring.

Optiat The Hungover Coffee Scrub Potent Peppermint 90g - I loved this uplifting and awakening scrub which had an intense coffee/mint scent. Perfect scrubbiness and have since bought another. See my review HERE.

Carina Organics Pink Grapefruit Hand Soap 360ml* - this was a great hand soap which smells of zesty pink grapefruit. See my review HERE. Will definitely buy at some point.

Resultime Hydrating Cream 15ml - I've really enjoyed this cream, so much so that I picked up another one recently. It has a fresh scent, absorbs quickly and leaves the skin feeling deeply nourished. Huge fan.

Sachet samples (I'm trying to use these more often along with perfume vials):

pai Head to Toe Buriti Balm 2ml - this seemed nice but it was such a teeny sample so only got one use.

AA Skincare Ylang Ylang, Argan & Rosemary Conditioning Shampoo 8ml - nice to use. Got two uses out of these sachets. AA Skincare Amla & Clary Sage Rejuvenating Shampoo 8ml, again nice to use. This one was my favourite. I recently reviewed the matching conditioners (link).

Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Face Serum 2ml - this seemed nice enough but again, quite small sachet.

Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Face Cream 2ml - a nice cream which absorbed quickly but I probably wouldn't buy.

Chantecaille BioLifting Neck Cream 2ml - I absolutely loved this. The gel textured cream absorbed instantly and it felt like an expensive product (on looking full size costs £152!) Nice to try but way out of my price range (I did however get 3 uses from the sachet).

Aesop Chamomile Concentrate Anti-Blemish Masque 1.5ml - this was great on my shiny t-zone. Would buy full size.

Take 5: Skincare

These five products are the ones I'm reaching for right now.

Skin & Tonic STEAM CLEAN - I simply love this minty scented balm which whisks away daily grime and make up leaving the skin feeling clean and refreshed.

Bodhi & Birch Rosa Rosa Hydrating Toner* - one of my favourite toners. Easy to spritz on for a shot of hydration and to refresh the skin before moisturising. See my review here.

de Mamiel Summer Facial Oil - I fell in love with the Spring Seasonal Facial Oil - see my review here. The summer one is equally as special - expect a review soon!

What products do you currently find yourself reaching for time and again?

Pai Copaiba Deep Cleanse AHA Mask

I've been testing Pai's Copaiba Deep Cleanse AHA Mask (75ml - £30)* which comes boxed and includes a muslin cloth for the last few weeks and I can honestly say it's one of the best masks I've ever used.

100% natural and Vegan the mask is free from parabens, PEG, phthalates, perfumes and synthetic colours and is made in the UK.  There is no animal testing and the product is cruelty free. Packaging is recyclable and products are Soil Association certified.

"internationally adored line of luxury skincare products" says The Observer. 

I agree!

To use: apply to clean dry skin avoiding eye/lip area 1-2 times a week or as an occasional pick me up.  Leave on for 8-10 minutes and remove with a damp warmed muslin cloth and finish by splashing the skin with cool water.

The mask is suitable for oily, combination and blemish prone skin types and combines fruit acids with anti-blemish actives for a deep cleansing but gentle detox.  It clears the skin of congestion, refining pores, rebalances, calms and brightens and has a delicious fruity scent. It is a real treat for the skin and I highly recommend it.

Travelling Light

I'm just back from an amazing trip to London (a post about what I got up to will follow). Here's the beauty products I took with me & the hotel ones that I acquired! 

The Cowshed sachets came from July's Love Lula box and were lovely to use. I've definitely got some favourites - I'll be picking up Grumpy Cow Uplifting Bath & Shower Gel and Wild Cow Invigorating Body Lotion at some point.

I also packed the pai travel kit - see my review here. I'm a huge fan of all three products and I enjoyed using them.

I love the John Masters Organics sachets which you can pick up at a low cost from Naturisimo or free with order from Love Lula (subject to availability).  I also packed a Lavera rose repair shampoo sachet - I'm keen to try this full size. I also popped in JMO citrus & neroli detangler and a sachet of Argan Dew's Replenising Hair Mask.  My final hair item was John Frieda's Flyaway Tamer Smoothing Wand which is fantastic for these pesky flyaway hairs.

Scent wise my beloved kai perfume oil and a sample vial of Jimmy Choo came with me and I couldn't travel without the very fab Schmidt's natural deodorant* - See my review here.

I can't go anywhere without a lip balm. I've been testing Portland Bee Balm* in Oregon Mint flavour which is super moisturising on the lips - a review to follow shortly!

I packed a couple of eye care samples - Oskia's Eye Wonder eye serum and Kahina's Eye Serum. I only used the Oskia one.

Nourish's Illuminating Golden Glow Face Shimmer is one of my most favourite products ever! See my review here. I also tucked in a sachet of Madara's fab Moon Flower Rose Beige Tinting Fluid.

Make up wise my liquids (we only took hand luggage) were Dermalogica primer, Better than Sex mascara, 3 x Bite Beauty Glosses, BareMinerals Bareskin Foundation and Armani concealer.

I always pack Aromatherapy Associates Support Breathe Essence* which is great for destressing and calming - see my review here.  

At St James' Court Hotel the plentiful toiletries were by a company I haven't heard of before - Plantation London in Darjeeling scent - an aromatic scent with lemongrass, lemon, nutmeg and tea tree. The products are free from parabens, sulphates and artificial colours.  

When we nipped across town to watch the Dolphins v Raiders at Wembley we stayed at the Hilton London Wembley.  The toiletries provided were by Peter Thomas Roth, a brand I've heard of before but haven't tried.

I think in the end I took too much. Are you able to travel light when it comes to beauty products?

Love Lula Beauty Box - September

September's Love Lula Beauty Box is fantastic! It celebrates Organic Beauty Week (8-14 September) and is packed full of goodies! Seven full size and sample sizes - we've been spoiled this month!  As always Love Lula offer a generous 20% off the brands featured in the box.

Skin Blossom Facial Toner 150ml (£5.95) - Skin Blossom is an affordable Certified Organic Skincare range. The toner is suitable for all skin types it conditions and purifies the skin. Witch Hazel tightens pores and Aloe Vera and Glycerin soothe and condition. Scented with Rose Geranium, Ylang Ylang and Lavender essential oils. Looking forward to trying this.

Odylique Lip Silk 4.5g (£5.50) - a deeply nourishing lip balm made with beeswax, shea butter, coconut oil and orange essential oil to moisturise, repair and protect. Can be worn alone or under lipstick.

Bentley Organic Moisturising Hand Sanitiser 50ml (£3.65) - I've use their bar soaps before which I enjoyed.  The Hand Sanitiser is alcohol, paraben and fragrance free and there are up to 125 uses in this bottle!  This little bottle is going in my desk drawer.

Balm Balm Little Miracle Rosehip Serum 30ml (£13.25) - a super luxe serum made from a blend of Rosehip, Jojoba and Borage Oils along with Frankincense, Rose Geranium, Palmarosa, Juniper and Mandarin Essential Oils. It smells gorgeous!  It "feeds your skin", absorbs easily leaving the skin radiant and rejuvenated. Can't wait to try this!

Herbfarmacy Mallow Beauty Balm 15g (£7.25) - I simply adore this facial balm! See my review here.  Really pleased to see this feature again in a Love Lula box.

Finally, there are two pai trial sizes - Kukui & Jojoba Bead Brightening Exfoliator - I've had a couple of samples of this gentle exfoliator which gently polishes the skin leaving the skin refreshed and radiant and Avocado & Jojoba Hydrating Day Cream for dry/sensitive/normal skin which hydrates, softens and protects.

My favourite box to date! What are your thoughts?

Pai Anywhere Essentials Collection: Perfect Balance

I received an email from Pai featuring the new travel collections. With a short trip planned I knew this would be the perfect travelling companion (now I need to store it away out of sight!)

I chose the Perfect Balance collection for Combination, Oily and Blemish-Prone Sensitive Skin.

The set comes in a cute white branded bag which is the perfect size to slip in your suitcase for a weekend away or holiday abroad. Great to pop in your gym bag or as a try me set before buying full sizes.

Inside there is Camellia & Rose Gentle Hydrating Cleanser (25ml) with an Organic Muslin Cloth. I'm a huge fan of this cleanser.  See my review here. To tone, Rice Plant & Rosemary BioAffinity Skin Tonic (12ml) I simply love this toner - it's one of my all time favourites. See my review here and finally, to moisturise Geranium & Thistle Rebalancing Day Cream (10ml) a light and easily absorbed cream - see my review here.

The sets costs £20 and will last for a two week break.   Collections are also available in Instant Calm, Pure Hydration and Age Confidence.

I was also sent a couple of samples which I think is a nice extra.

What do you think of the Anywhere Essentials Collections?

I haven't used as much as usual this month! Here are my August empties -

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.

Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser 30ml - nice to use I think this came from a Latest in Beauty box.  Got another to use - I'd maybe purchase.

Taaj Eau Micellaire de L'Himalaya Water 500ml - a huge bottle I bought from Joliebox.  I had a love/hate relationship with this one as sometimes it stung my eyes and other times it didn't. I've got a smaller bottle to use up but I wouldn't buy again.

Dr Bronner's Magic Soap 18-in-1 Castile Soap Almond 59ml - this was nice to use but Peppermint is my favourite scent so wouldn't buy this.

Korres Guava Body Butter 50ml - love this fruity scented body butter. Would buy again.
