Liz Earle Botanical Essence Eau De Parfum no.15 After receiving a sample of this perfume with my purchase of the Cleanse and Polish I knew I had to purchase the full size 50ml version, as I had never come across such an endearing smell. I would definitely say this is an autumn/winter fragrant and as I am awful at describing perfumes and their “notes”, I would recommend anyone to pop to a Liz Earle concession and give this a smell. I have heard this perfume be likened to Viktor and Rolf’s Spicebomb, but after smelling both I definitely think the L.E. perfume is nicer! Overall 10/10 Would I buy again? YES! & Other Stories Body Lotion in Moroccan Tea The first time I had ever been to an & Other Stories store was this year in February and everything about the brand blew me away! I am in love with their accessories, clothing and beauty range! I originally came across a soap bar of this Moroccan Tea scent in the store and as I was about to purchase it I noticed the b...

SPA H2O Sea Salt Skin Smoother – From M&S range – 340g (part of a set) – £20 for 680g I’ve really enjoyed using this exfoliator as I find most of the time exfoliators seem to have a low salt consistency which leaves skin feeling oily rather than exfoliated (not sure if I’ve worded this right, but it is something than annoys me when I use exfoliators such as Soap & Glory’s Breakfast Scrub), and this product seems to be mainly salt with just a little bit of oil so it’s easy to massage into the skin. I wouldn’t recommend this product for those who have sensitive skin at all as the salt can feel really harsh, and I also would recommend just using hands for application rather than an exfoliating glove as the product itself does all the work and doing so could leave skin feeling quite sore and cause a rash when using moisturiser afterwards. St Tropez Gradual Tan – Light to Medium – 75ml (sample size) – £14.39 for 200ml from Boots Normally I don’t usually opt for light ...

  Ojon Damage Reverse Shampoo & Conditioner In November, John Lewis (and basically every store which stocks Ojon) held an event in which you could trade in a bottle of any brand shampoo or conditioner and you’d receive this duo for free, I think it was to promote the recycling of plastic… can’t really remember! Baring in mind this would set you back around £41 at its RRP, I was thrilled! I’d previously seen a few beauty bloggers rave about Ojon products which made me want to try some myself, so I made sure I got to the store rather early to pick up my freebies. For the first few uses, my hair genuinely felt different. It became much more slick and easy to manage and as I previously used a lot of heat, it seemed to work wonders on the ends of my hair. But, after using them as my every-other-day shampoo and conditioning products, I started to notice my hair feeling dryer and I felt like my hair was becoming immune to the restoring properties promised by the produ...
