Jolie Beauty: Captain Blankenship

I've been wanting to try Captain Blankenship like forever and was delighted find the brand stocked at Jolie Beauty. I picked up trial sizes of their Mer-Mane Shampoo (£7.50 - 60ml) and the matching Conditioner (£7.50 - 60ml). I also love that they send you free samples with your order (always welcome).

Shipping is from Finland and takes about a week. There are some exciting brands available which are hard to source elsewhere. The company was founded by four friends in 2012 and quickly became the place to shop for natural health and beauty.

I was excited to find Captain Blankenship at Jolie Beauty as it's a brand which has been on my radar for a while. Founder, Jana Blankenship grew up spending summers in Sorrento, Maine. The range she created is linked with nature and the outdoors. Ingredients include cold pressed organic plant oils, flowers, seaweed, sea salt and pure organic essential oils. Packaging is recyclable.

This hair duo clean, volumise and nourish all hair types including fine hair. They are formulated with aloe vera, gentle cleansers, sea salt, botanical extracts along with essential oils of red grapefruit, blood orange, lemongrass and rosemary. They'll give your hair a bit of texture and volume and leave it smelling great! Can't wait to try more from the range.

Spending Ban: Updates & Wants #5

I picked up a staple product for me in the Tabitha James Kraan sale (£15.50 plus P&P). I use it every single day and at that great price it had to be bought!

Onto my wants this week:

Narynda Face Care Pack (£7.50) - I'm always a sucker for try me sizes and this little set is great! It contains cleanser, toner, face & body scrub, day cream and night cream - see my reviews of the cleanser, toner and day cream HERE*. I'm also keen to pick up the Body Care Pack (£5.50) (the heel balm is ace!)

Staying on the travel sizes...

I spotted this little Autumn Mini Treats set at LJ's Natural Solutions (£9.95) - it includes - 30ml Autumn Uplift Organic Body Oil, 5g Balancing Organic Moisturiser, 5g Organic Deep Cleansing Balm and 3g OMG Serum.

I was also tempted by (but didn't) an email offer from Naturisimo which was a free sample pack with any with purchase and included samples from: Spiezia, John Masters Organics, Inlight, Estelle & Thild and Patyka. Sign up for Beauty Alerts at the bottom of the main webpage.

I'm finding the spending ban fairly easy but I know there are going to be lots and lots of wants in the run up to Christmas! If you are on a spending ban how is it going?
