Shopping My Stash #15

Bee Fruitful Mandarin Lip Balm* 5ml - a lovely super moisturising lip balm scented with mandarin.  Keeps the lips moisturised and super glossy.  Can be bought on the Bee Fruitful Website for £1.80.

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.  

Stila Coming Clean Revitalising Gel Cleanser 10ml - this came in a WIMH gift set which I received for my birthday.  A light gel which smells minty.  Makes skin feel really clean. I use this in my morning shower.  I'd buy it again once I get through the ones I've got.

Bloom Mineral Lip Butter - Killing me Softly - a really cute lip butter with a little mirror in the lid.  A light pink shade.

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb EDP mini - I love this heady scent although I mainly wear it in the evening.

Bamford Geranium Bath Oil 30ml - I first tried this in a Latest in Beauty box.  Have accumulated some from swaps.  Simply love this. Mini review here.

Just Be Happy Rollerball 10ml - an uplifting scent to banish the blues - with coconut oil, Pink Grapefruit, Lime and Bergamot.  A sunny scent. Roll on pulse points.  See the website here.

January Favourites

These are the products I've been using most this January:

Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick - I bought this in one of my last hauls before my spending ban kicked in.  You can see that post here.  I got the shade plum jam and it is gorgeous for a subtle plummy wash of glossy colour with a vanilla scent.  Definitely want to pick up the other two shades after my spending ban! 

From the same haul I got two Super Facialist products which are amazing! Rose Hydrate Miracle Makeover Facial Oil which is a pre-cleansing oil.  It removes all make up, even waterproof mascara with ease.  A full review will follow.  At the same time I bought the Rose Hydrate Calming Creamy Cleanser which you use after the facial oil.  Leaves skin super clean and hydrated and scented with roses.

OV Naturals Rosy Glow Luxury Organic Moisturiser* 15ml - Lucy sent me this and a 10ml tester bottle of Firm Friends* Face & Neck Oil just before Christmas.  The moisturiser is gorgeous, lightly scented with Damask Rose Otto.  A full review of both will follow.

Abahna Frangipani & Orange Blossom EDP 10ml - this came a beautiful gift box of minis I treated myself to.  It's in my favourite scent from Abahna and I love the fact that the atomiser is refillable.  Refills are £15 for 50ml.

Splurge!

I finally got up town to shop what was left of the sales (also a little Naturisimo and a Harrods haul which has still to arrive) - Nardine at Live...Laugh...Love picked me up a couple of things in the sale - thanks huni! These will be my last hauls posts before my spending ban kicks in on 15 January.

I seem to have picked up a lot of cleansers uh-oh!

Soap & Glory Whipped Clean - I've read loads of reviews about this shower butter - all good! This cost £8 and a review will follow.

I'm currently using Super Facialist by Una Brennan Radiance Day Cream SPF15 and it is fantastic!  I'll be reviewing it shortly.  It is my favourite moisturiser of the moment so I was keen to try some other products in the range.

I picked up Miracle Makeover Facial Oil - which is a pre-cleansing oil and Calming Creamy Cleanser.  The range is on special offer at the moment. The oil is £9.99 instead of £14.99 and the cleanser £5.99 instead of £7.99.  Also in the Rose range is a scrub and a mask.

I was watching one of Fleur De Force's videos and she mentioned Soap & Glory's Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick.  I picked one up in Plum Jam - a subtle wash of glossy colour scented with vanilla.  This cost £6 down from £8.

Soap & Glory Peaches & Clean - I love this cleanser so happy to pick it up. Was £6 saving £1.

I also picked up Natural Wisdom Rosehip & Pomegranate Antioxidant Cream Cleanser after reading Danny's glowing review which you can see here.  I chose the Rose Floral Blend.  Costs £14 for 50ml plus P&P.  I adore the Natural Wisdom Rose & Pomegranate Antioxidant Hydrating Toner and you can see my review of it here.

From Naturisimo I bought Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist (£16.77). They are currently running an offer if you buy anything from Jurlique they will send you a free 15ml Rose Hand Cream.  I first tried the mist when I received it in the Latest in Beauty YOU In-Flight Travel Kit and I loved it. 

I also chose to buy a 15ml sample of Geranium & Frankincense Body Moisturiser from Lucy Annabella Organics - a brand I've not heard of before.

I'll show you what I got from Harrods when it arrives!

December Favourites

These are the products I've been reaching for during December.

BRIXI Bee Balm - love this - you can see my review here.  

MOSSGROVE Deodorant - a friend recommended this deodorant to me. Scented with Jasmine and other essential oils it contains little or no parabens or petrochemicals.  It is quite expensive at £4.25 for 70ml - but I won't be without it now! Love the scent and it keeps me fresh all day. I've found it lasts for 3 months so I find it cost effective.

Super Facialist by Una Brennan Rose Radiance Day Cream SPF15 - my dry winter skin is lapping up this moisturising rose scented cream.  Can't wait to try other items in the range. Costs £12.99 for 75ml at Boots.  Also features in the 3 for 2 deals.

Frezyderm Revitalizing Skin Serum - I am testing this anti-ageing serum out at the moment and I am finding it is giving my skin the hydration it needs as well as adding a much needed radiance boost during this winter weather. A Greek brand which is free from parabens.  Full review to follow.

Abahna Aromatherapy Pillow Mist - you will already know my love of this gorgeous British brand. The mist is scented with lavender, neroli and clary sage.  I've been finding it easy to drop off to sleep after misting it lightly over my pillow.
