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.

Shopping My Stash #11

As you'll know I've finished my spending ban but I have really enjoyed Shopping my Stash so I'm going to continue to do this weekly.

Here what I've been using this week -


Diptyque Eau Rose Roll On 20ml - a beautiful rose scent.  See my review here.

Tara Smith Feed the Root Shampoo 50ml & Conditioner 50ml - these products smell of mint chocolates.  I picked them up in my recent M&S haul. I've been using them the last few days and enjoying them.  Review to follow.

Korres Watermelon Body Scrub 150ml - smells just like watermelon with a nice gritty-ness.  I first saw a review of this on Cosmetic Cravings.  Gorgeous! A review will follow.

Oh! Organics Rose Toner 50ml* - this is a lovely toner scented with rose.  A full review to follow.

Saaf Pure Face Cleanser Sample* - I was sent this and a couple of other samples to review.  A really lovely cleansing balm scented with lavender, geranium and grapefruit peel oil.  A review to follow.

RODIN Olio Lusso Lip Balm 5g - this was an impulse buy, a gorgeous lip balm.  Read my review here.

H20+ Deep Sleep Recovery Cream 5ml - received this sample free recently from M&S.  Seems a really nice cream with a gel like texture.

Spending Ban - Update 6

I was doing really well in week 6 until I spotted that Latest in Beauty were offering luxury samples of Caudalie The Cream and The Eye Cream (15ml & 7ml) for £14.95 (worth £50) plus P&P and I caved! ooops.  

Then after reading The Simple Things magazine I came across a company called Remedy...for and two Organic Body Butter Bars slipped into my trolley...And then on Sunday I saw April's Beautylishious spoiler and caved again as I really wanted to try the Lola's Apothecary mini bath oils which feature in April's bag - so not a good week!  A total spend of £41.20 - although I might ask for the Beautylishious bag for my birthday.


Here are the products I'm "wanting" this week - 


Saaf Face & Body Kit - the products sound interesting and are all organic and free from chemicals and from a brand I've heard of before but not tried any products.


YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat Foundation - heard so many bloggers rave about this foundation that I really want to try it!  I think I'm the only beauty blogger which hasn't tried it yet.


Serge Lutens La Fille de Berlin EDP - with notes of rich rose, pink and black pepper, violet and musk.  Sounds amazing can't wait to smell it.


Clinique All About Lips - another product I've seen raved about on beauty blogs.  May try and pick it up next Bonus Time at Harvey Nichols.




Dr Periccone No Concealer Concealer - already love the No Foundation Foundation and have seen reviews of this on several blogs recently - to name two - Sam's post here and Evelyn's here.  It looks amazing and it looks like it really works!


How's your spending ban going?  And what products are you wanting this week?
