Cult Beauty: Purchases & Spring Goody Bag

I'd recently tweeted Cult Beauty to ask when they were running their next Goody Bag GWP offer. They told me to keep my eyes peeled.  It was available a few days later and my order arrived yesterday!  The Cult Beauty Goody Bags are always my favourite.

I picked a couple of items (and something from my friend Julie's birthday - it's absent from the photo as she reads my blog!)  The spend is £100 (easy to do) and the Goody Bag is worth over £150!)

My picks:

I first tried the Stila One Step Correct (£24) way back August 2012 when Julie managed to get me one of the amazing Selfridges Beauty Boxes. It colour-corrects, brightens, helps to cover imperfections, makes the skin look lovely and is a great primer. I loved it before...so I know I'll love it again!

My second item is the amazing Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel (£29.50). I've said it before and I'll say it again every Oskia product I've tried I've loved. I really love this beautiful cleanser and I'm very pleased to have it back in my stash. See my review HERE.

The Goody Bag  (as always is fantastic). Inside is:

Cult Beauty Exclusive: Full Size: DNA Renewal Eye Renewal 20ml (worth £44)

Cult Beauty Exclusive: VERSO Reviving Eye Mask (single sachet)

Exclusive Preview (still to launch on Cult Beauty): skyn Iceland Blemish Dots

Exclusive Preview (still to launch at Cult Beauty): SkinOwl Neck Plus (0.5oz)

Omorovicza Queen of Hungary Mist 30ml

Aurelia Priobiotic Skincare Miracle Cleanser 30ml + Bamboo Cloth

MV Organic Skincare Pure Jojoba: Full Size 35ml (worth £29)

Goldfaden MD Doctor's Scrub 0.25oz

Zelens 3t Complex 15ml

REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask 15ml

Reviews will follow!  Did you indulge?

I also picked up Lea Journo Hydra Riche Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner (both 90ml - £10 each) as I've been keen to try these for a while.

A Birthday Swap

My friend Julie and I do a birthday swap - this is our second year exchanging gifts. We met recently for a look at the shops, lunch with some wine and to exchange pressies! I was blown away by her generosity. I love everything!

It was only after I'd put everything away I realised the benefit kit was upside down in my photo!  

I'd totally fallen in love with this beautiful teacup and saucer when it appeared in Aurelia's Christmas Gift sets.  Julie tracked it down to Bombay Duck.  It makes a very special girly cup of tea.

Onto the goodies oh where do I start! 

Lush Rose Bubble Bar - I love all things rose and Lush so looking forward to having a couple of soaks in the bath.  This is super cute.

Laura Mercier Ambre Vanille Souffle Body Creme 25g - this is beautiful! Sweet, super moisturising and a real treat!  It featured in my Little Treats #2 this week.

Stila Seeing Stars Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner Set - I'm a huge fan of the shade Moray so it was great to get some different shades to try. Once you put this eyeliner on it just stays put!

benefit She's so Jetset - a perfect set for travel. Looking forward to trying it out. It has everything you need.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion - I think I actually squealed - I've wanted to try this primer for ages!

Simply Soap Rosepetal & Geranium Soap - huge fan of bars of soap and rose and geranium scents so know I'm going to love this!

Aromatherapy Associates Rose Hydrate Mist 50ml & Moisturising Lip Balm 7ml - this was a pressie from Ralphie (Julie's dog) as I sometimes send him dog treats.  

Glamglow Supermud Clearing Treatment x 2 sachets - I wasn't a huge fan of one of the other Glamglow masks so looking forward to trying!

A fab colouring book and felt pens!

Lush it started with a kiss tinted balm - handy for the handbag. Give a tint to the lips.

Korres Mandarin Lip Butter Stick SPF15 - huge Korres and lip balm fan.

Ojon Rare Blends Infusion Shampoo 30ml & Rare Blends Deep Conditioner 30ml - simply love these!  They featured in shopping my stash this week - see here.

Shopping My Stash #49

Here's what I've been reaching for this week:

Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment 10ml** - a product I always come back to as I love it! The oil has a distinctive lovely scent and is suitable for all hair types. It contains a blend of Macadamia Nut oil and Argan Seed Oil.  Apply just before blow drying your hair. It detangles, nourishes, helps with frizz, smoothes, adds shine and provides natural UV protection. 

Zelens 3t Complex Essential Anti-Ageing Cream 10ml - I received this in the recent Cult Beauty GWP - see here. The product is rich in multiple actives from plants, algaes and herbal oils and contains a unique plant derived triterpenoid regenerative complex called 3t complex. A lightweight cream which absorbs easily into the skin. It helps to minimise fine lines, smooth and plump the skin and it leaves the skin looking luminous. Can be used morning and night.  Another one for the ever expanding wishlist!  I'm definitely keen to try more from the brand.

Ojon Rare Blend Infusion Shampoo 30ml & Ojon Rare Blend Deep Conditioner 30ml - I received them from my friend Julie in my birthday swap and simply love them. They leave my hair looking glossy, shiny and frizz free.

inner-soul organics Circulation Boost Skin Oil 100ml* - I won this and a hamper of other goodies in The Beauty Shortlist's December Twitter competition - see my post here. This oil is perfect to get the body ready for summer. It helps with cellulite, deeply moisturises and helps to promote skin elasticity. It's got a great uplifting scent too.

Erno Laszlo Phelityl Pre-Cleansing Oil 15ml - another product I received in the Cult Beauty GWP. This is a slightly floral scented oil which is stuffed full of nourishing oils.  You only need a small amount applied to dry skin to remove make up and daily grime. It leaves the skin clean and refreshed. Erno Laszlo recommend using one of their Cleansing Bars suitable to your skin type after pre-cleansing. Cult Beauty stock a great little introductory Cleansing duo - see here.

Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner in Tetra - a shimmery purple shade. I'm a huge fan of the waterproof eyeliners as they stay put and come in a great range of shades.

Have you used any of these products?

Can't believe how many weeks I've now been shopping my stash! 

Here are my picks for this week -

Tom Ford Santal Blush EDP 50ml - this is my second bottle (and I will buy a third when this bottle runs out as I simply love it! Although I'll probably try and wait until the Harvey Nichols 15% off Christmas Party in November - makes it less painful price wise!) Simply love this scent.  See my review here.

Willow Organic Beauty Super Firming Serum 30ml* - WOW! This serum is amazing! It tightens and uplifts and has a fruity scent.  Made with Barbary Fig Oil, one of the world's most exclusive oils, antioxidants and Vitamin E.  I've only been using it for a week and already my skin feels radiant, moisturised and uplifted.  Love the super luxe packaging too.  Full review to follow.

Kimberly Sayer Ultra Light Facial Moisturiser SPF30 120ml - I've used this moisturiser before and loved it. I had Amarya beauty box points to use and took advantage of the £5 off opening offer on Love Lula.  Again, review will follow.

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.

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.

Alterna Caviar Anti-Ageing Color Hold Moisture Conditioner 40ml - loved this and would buy again.  See my review here.

Melvita Rose Floral Water 28ml - this was lovely to spritz on the skin.  I'd definitely consider buying it in the future.

Shopping My Stash #17

Here's what I've been reaching for this week -

The Little Skincare Shop English Rose Floral Water (£8.15 for 60ml) - this is from a lovely new company selling floral waters.

Super Facialist by Una Brennan Rose Hydrate Miracle Makeover Facial Oil 30ml - I bought this a while back - firstly thinking it was a face oil but it is actually an oil for removing make up.  It's part of a two step process - use the oil and then a separate cleanser.  Leaves skin clean, radiant and smelling of roses.

Super Facialist by Una Brennan Rose Hydrate Radiance Day Cream SPF 15 75ml - a supermoisturising face cream which is scented with rose.  Hydrates and nurtures the skin. Love that it's got SPF too.
