Shopping My Stash #105

*productsample I shopped my stash back in March and it's a post I plan to resurrect and share at least twice a month. here are the lovely things I've been reaching for lately..


I'm totally obsessed by RMS Beauty's Wild with Desire Mini Lipstick Set* which featured in my Valentine's Day Treats POST. My absolute favourite from the set is Temptation, a beautiful and very wearable pinky mauve (and it's one I'll buy full size). 

From Butter Bar Soapery I've been loving their soothing Cornflower & Frankincense Bath Soak which came in November's Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box.  It really is a relaxing treat and especially nice to use before bed.

I recently reviewed three fabulous products* from The Urban Smallholders. See my review HERE. My hands are really loving this nourishing Whipped Lavender Hand Balm which deeply cares for the hands and nails.

The luscious Avo Bao Cleansing Balm from bodhi & birch really is a luxe treat. See my review HERE. Hardworking and luxurious it's one of my favourite evening cleansers.

My final item is Enchanted Plant's almost good enough to eat Cardamon & Coconut Cream Soap which is a joy to use. It's creamy, aromatic and has a scrubby exfoliating texture. Trust me, this is the one to try!

Have you used any of these products? What have you been reaching for lately?

*The Urban Smallholders: Lavender Gift Bag


*Gifted I've been testing out some beautiful handcrafted products from Scottish based, The Urban Smallholders. The artisan products are formulated and created by Sue, a beekeeper who handcrafts natural, cruelty free and ethical beeswax beauty products. The packaging is recyclable, re-useable or compostable.


This Lavender Flower Beeswax Soap is what dreams are made of! It smells simply glorious and the care and attention to details is so obvious. A beautiful handcrafted soap made with love. You can pick it up individually or in the Lavender Gift Bag (which comes with the Whipped Lavender Hand Balm and Honeybee Lip Balm).

Lavender balances and cleanses (making it great for soap bars). The scent is subtle but distinctive and the bar is made using Organic ingredients - Shea Butter, Coconut oil, Sweet Almond oil and natural Beeswax (with some lavender buds sprinkled on top). The soap range is handcrafted in small batches with love. 

To use: can be used as a face or body soap. Rub over wet skin to form a creamy lather before rinsing.

This is a really beautiful soap which really brightens up my day!


Whipped Lavender Hand Balm is a delicious blend of Lavender, Beeswax, Cocoa Butter, Almond oil and Coconut oil. The luxurious balm melts instantly on contact with warm skin. It deeply nourishes the hands and nails (and feet, elbows and knees). I must also admit I've also used a small amount for flyaways.

To use: apply sparingly to nourish and hydrate.

A gorgeous nourishing and caring product which I adore.


Honeybee Lip Balm (oh I love the compostable cardboard tube!) The lip balm is formulated with Beeswax, Organic Sweet Almond oil, Organic Coconut oil and Honey and is a delicious and natural treat for the lips. 

To use: apply as often as needed to dry lips.

A must-have product which deeply nourishes the lips.

What are your favourites from the RANGE?
