Shopping my Stash #102

All the products I've recently been reaching for are available to buy at Love Lula.

I tried Inner-Soul Organics Healing Night Cream* when I was a Judge in the Beauty Shortlist Awards 2018. This product is so lovely - relaxing, calming and nourishing. It really is a treat for the skin and senses.  You can see my top picks from the Awards HERE.

Ermana's Comfort Organic Hand & Body Lotion** is perfect to use just before bed. It calms and comforts the skin and senses and smells incredible. Deeply nourishing the lotion absorbs almost instantly and leaves the skin with a gentle floral scent.

Eco Cosmetics Hair Spray* is made with organic goji berry, organic pomegranate, organic orange blossom, organic sesame and jojoba oils. As well as giving the hair a natural hold it'll protect and strengthen the hair.

Gallinée La Culture Face Mask & Scrub** is fabulous and it's lovely to revisit it. See my review HERE.

The final product I've been reaching for is Walden See the Moonlight Perfume Oil roll-on** which is beautiful. It's also handy for carrying around or for taking on holiday. It's got notes of bergamot, jasmine, rose, sandalwood and ambrette seed.

What have you been reaching for lately?

Inner-Soul Organics Energising Hand & Body Set

I've had the real pleasure of trying Inner-Soul Organics Energising Hand & Body Set (£22 - 250ml each)* which was originally created for clients of London Square, a British housing company who gives this exclusive set as a completion gift for new buyers. 

The blend is delicious and contains certified organic extracts of grapefruit, ginger and oregano (and it's unisex if you don't mind sharing!)

Perfect for use in kitchen or bathroom (and both can be used all over the body). Grapefruit detoxifies and cleans, Geranium balances and calms, Oregano is a natural anti-bac and fights free radicals while warming ginger tones.

The set really is lovely and very pleasant to use. The wash gently cleans the skin while the lotion absorbs instantly leaving the hands (and body) feeling comfortable, nourished and delicately scented. Pick yours up HERE.

Inner-Soul Organics won "Best Night Balm" for their Healing Balm in the 2018 Beauty Shortlist Awards and their Roses & Lemons Tender Cleanse Balm and Supreme Comfort Day Cream scooped "Editor's Choice" Awards. See my top picks as a Judge HERE.

Inner-Soul Organics Supreme Comfort Daytime Moisturiser

I've been testing out Inner-Soul Organics Supreme Comfort Daytime Moisturiser (£25 - 55ml)* and it's one of the most beautiful face creams I've ever used. 

It is rich so my skin doesn't need a lot and it absorbs quickly leaving it feeling nourished, soft and comfortable. Did I say it also smells amazing! It contains essential oils of Rose Absolute, Rose de Mai and Bergamot.

It gives the skin a lovely radiance and is perfect to use as a base for make up. Suitable for dry/sensitive and mature skin types.

To use: massage onto the skin pressing lightly onto areas which you can see evident signs of ageing, any irritation or dry areas. You can also blend it with Barefaced Beauty Natural Serum for an added boost.

The moisturiser is absolutely jam-packed with good things for the skin - Aloe Vera and Rosehip extracts reduce inflammation and help to rejuvenate the skin reducing fine lines and wrinkles while Red Raspberry Seed oil boost the skins natural immunity, protecting against free radicals and nourishing the skin. Starflower Oil, rich in Omega 6 hydrates and softens.

I was very lucky enough to win a The Beauty Shortlist giveaway of a luxury hamper (back in December 2013 - see my review HERE)

More Christmas Gift Ideas

I showed you some Christmas gift ideas HERE. Today I've got some more top picks:

Birch & Brook candles are just gorgeous (review of Library* HERE and Festival* HERE). I was recently sent a travel size of the beautiful Limited Edition scent in for Christmas - Evergreen* - a lush, crisp green which is "reminiscent of a winter walk". 

The candle is made of natural waxes and scented with fir balsam, pine, cedar, musk and amber. It's perfect if you are not a fan of cinnamon scents. I'm a fan of both but this is well worth having in your Christmas collection.

Minvita Baobab Body Oil (100ml - £35)* this luxe oil is 100% natural and organic and is made from cold pressed seeds of the African Baobab Superfruit. Best suited for dry and ageing skin as it contains Vitamins A, D, E, F, B1, B2, Phosphorus and Iron. 

It absorbs instantly and has a slightly nutty-fruity scent. The oil improves elasticity, helps to regenerate skin cells and deeply nourishes the skin. It's a really lovely oil and I'm so enjoying using it.

I'm a huge fan of kai fragrance oil and am now on my 3rd little roll on bottle. I normally pick these up when Cult Beauty have a GWP as they are an indulgent treat. I've mentioned this lovely brand numerous times on the blog. I was recently sent this gorgeous little gift set* (the nearest thing I can find is on Cult Beauty - but it doesn't include the fine linen wash see HERE)

Inside are 2oz bottles of: 

Shampoo: which contains mild surfactants which remove dirt and build up without stripping the hair.  Conditioner: enriched with vitamins, shea butter, plant oils and extracts the conditioner nourishes the hair leaving it delicately scented with the kai fragrance and silky smooth. 

Body Wash: which cleans and refreshes the body. Follow up with Body Lotion: which is made of nourishing safflower seed oil, shea butter, apricot kernal oil, cucumber fruit extracts and kai fragrance. The skin is left moisturised and smelling of kai.

Fine Linen Wash: this is the most recent addition to the range. It cleans linens and delicate fabrics leaving them scented with the signature kai scent and I think is the perfect addition to a travel bag.

Vial of perfume oil: this beautiful original scent was created by Gaye Straza who spent her youth holidaying in the tropics. Years later she created her signature scent with rich notes of gardenia, tuberose and lily with touches of green notes.

I love this story "the first time Straza wore kai, she was stopped mid stride by a beauty editor on Madison Avenue, NYC asking where she could buy the scent".

Products are free from parabens, sulphates, phthalates, phosphate and vegan and gluten free.

I never grow tired of John Masters Organics and this little Limited Edition Holiday Kit from John Masters Organics would make a perfect gift (£27). Inside is: 2oz Lavender Rosemary Shampoo for Normal Hair, 2oz Citrus & Neroli Detangler, 1oz Rose & Apricot Hair Milk, 0.1oz 100% Argan Oil, a Bamboo Comb and Pouch.

I just love this Oskia Cracker available at Cult Beauty (£18) which contains a 40ml size of Renaissance Cleansing Gel (review). I'd love to find this hanging on the tree or as a luxe table present.

I'm intrigued by Strange Invisible Organic Perfumes and I'd pick the star sign of the friend I was buying for an unusual and unique gift (14ml - £59). I chose my sign - Aries Zodiac Eaux de Parfum - The Innovator - Element - Fire which is a blend of hydro-distilled essences of cinnamon, rose and angelica which "fuel a vibrant imagination". Frankincense, benzoin, lavender and sandalwood "cool fiery impulses, encouraging the composure needed to realize visionary plans". Sounds fantastic. One for the wishlist for sure!

source

The Nordic Collection Gift Set from Inner-Soul Organics (£24.50) is a lovely pampering treat and would be ideal for your friends or mum. The kit contains Scandinavian Decadence Bath and Body Salt Scrub 60ml (mini review), Scandinavian Decadence Shower Serum 30ml and Nordic Berry Bliss Hand & Body Salve 60ml (mini review).

YTTP The Set £95 - which includes Cleanser, Serum and Cream. I've got an upcoming review of the Cleanser and Serum both of which are fabulous. This is a great set. Get 10% off with code YOUTH10.

Are any of these on your Christmas wishlist?

Little Treats #10

thisworks in transit camera close-up (15ml) - this came free with July's Harpers Bazaar mag. It is great to use as a primer before make up as it evens and brightens the skin.

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment Balms SPF15 in Coral & Passion - love these for a pop of moisturising colour.

Acorelle SPF30 Sun Oil - this is teeny tiny (only 75ml - but Naturisimo point this out on their website). Luckily I picked it up with money off as it's expensive. This oil deeply nourishes and protects the skin from harmful rays. Really lovely to use and smells nice.

Nourish Kale Biomimetic Anti-Ageing Eye Cream (sample) a lightweight eye cream which deeply nourishes the eye area and helps with puffiness and dark circles.

Inner-Soul Organics Scandinavian Decedence Bath & Body Salt Scrub* (sample) - a rich and aromatic body scrub which can also be used in the bath as a salt soak.  Leaves the skin feeling silky soft and smooth.

My final body oil is from The Naked Skincare Company which I received in December's Souk Souk Beauty Box. This lush oil is scented with Ylang Ylang and Sandalwood and is perfect to use before bed. Stuffed full of moisturising and nourishing oils it has firmly placed itself as one of my all time favourite body oils.

Shopping My Stash #49

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

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.
