Pampering #3

I do so love a little pampering. Here's what I've been using:

Melvita Milky Cleansing Oil 145ml* - this is a gorgeous rich cleansing oil scented with Damask rose essence. It easily whisks away all make up and daily grime. Massage into the skin and then add a little water which turns the cleanser milky. Remove with a warmed damp muslin cloth. Leaves the skin feeling clean and moisturised.

Freyaluna Skin Support Facial Tonic sample - this came in my recent Souk Souk box. A simply lovely toner which balances and tones the skin. It contains rosewater and a blend of essential oils.  Already a huge Freyaluna fan.  See my post on the Selection Box here.

Maddi Alexander Frivolous Bath & Body Oil 10ml - this came in my YOU Beauty Box. A beautiful oil which contains African baobab oil, Kalahari melon and sweet almond oils and scented with Sicilian lemon, bergamot, sweet orange, ginger and clove.  I tried the Serene Bath Soak a while ago - see here. 

Apivita Face Scrub with Olive 40ml* - a fine grained scrub which removes dead skin cells and cleanses the pores. It leaves the skin feeling revitalised, soft and renewed. 

ila spa Face Mask for Revitalising Skin sample pot* - a mineral rich green clay mask which adds radiance and revitalises the skin. See my review here.

Yarok Feed Your Youth Hair & Scalp Serum 1oz* - Simply love this pre-shampoo serum. I also sometimes put a couple of drops in my conditioner before rinsing.  See my full review here.

Laidbare butter me up body butter 250ml - a rich jasmine scented body cream which melts into the skin. Love the scent and the moisturising qualities. Quite simply a lovely product to use.  See my review here.

Have you used any of these products?

November Empties

The months are whizzing by - can't believe it's empties time again!

Sranrom Calm Down Hand Cream 30g - this came in a Souk Souk box. Loved the Lemongrass scent and moisturising properties. Would buy.

Korres Guava Shower Gel 250ml - my favourite Korres scent - sure to re-purchase.

L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream 30ml - again another favourite hand cream. Sure to buy it again or pick up in an offer.

Kai Body Wash 59ml - love the scent of Kai perfume oil. The body wash smells exactly like it. Full size definitely on my wishlist.

Elemis Pro-Radiance Hand & Nail Cream 30ml - love this super moisturising hand cream. Will pick this up again sometime.

Peppy Galore Rebel Face Moisturiser sample* - three samples came free if you signed up to the Peppy Galore newsletter. This cream had a nice texture but I hated the scent (Tea Tree) in fact I couldn't finish the pot.

Peppy Galore Vanilla Ice Cream Body Mousse sample* - I found this had a strange texture but it smoothed onto the body fine and the scent was nice. 

SW Basics Cream mini pot - love how moisturising this is. Sure to buy a pot when I use up some of my stash.

balance Me Skinbright Hydrating Face Mist 60ml - I simply adore this! One of my top products of the year. Sure to pick it up again...and soon.

raw gaia organic shea body butter 15ml - this was lovely to use but I think I slightly prefer the coconut body butter.

raw gaia organic floral face toner 10ml - simply loved this light floral toner. Will definitely purchase full size at some point.

Hairy Jayne Nourishing Shampoo 30ml - a gorgeous rich and nourishing shampoo which smells divine.  See my review here.

bare innocence Essence of Vali Uplift Massage & Bath Oil* - see my review here. A really lovely oil and one I'd consider purchasing.

Melvita Apicosma Body Balm 15ml - a gorgeous rich balm which I've already bought full size.

Freyaluna Skin Support Cleansing Cream sample pot - this came in November's Souk Souk beauty box. Was nice enough to use but I felt it a bit heavy on my skin. 

balance Me Rose Otto Body Wash 100ml* - a firm favourite. Sure to buy at some point.

ila Day Cream for Glowing Radiance sample pot* - love this rich moisturising cream. It's on my wishlist!
