Boho Vegan Cosmetics - Limited Edition Private Members Club Set

Image
Boho Vegan Cosmetics Private Members Club Limited Edition Whipped Body Wash and Whipped Body Butter Set £13.50 Just in time for Christmas and Boho Vegan Cosmetics have released their latest delectable duo - the Private Members Club whipped body butter and whipped body wash. Scented with Tobacco Leaf, Tonka Bean and Cacao the whips are both a pale rose-chocolate swirled with a creamy latte colour with gold dust sprinkled on top. As ever, Boho Vegan Cosmetics are spot on with the scent combination. The sweet creamy notes of Cacao and Tonka Bean match the colour and appearance of the butter and wash perfectly. They look and smell like a candy-coloured dream world! But the Tobacco Leaf gives the scent mysterious and brooding Middle Eastern Oud undertones, which for me personally, is my favourite part. This woody, slightly spicy deep scent puts the brakes on it being too sweet. Sweet 'n' sassy but with a veil of sensual spiciness - perfection! You can order ...

Christmas Gift Guide

Online Shopping at Adorli

Image
A selection of products available from Adorli* *PR Samples   - These products were sent to me in return for an honest review. Content is not directed and links are not affiliated. As we draw closer to Christmas and think about buying gifts for family and friends, I'm making a concerted effort to buy the majority (if not, all) of my gifts from smaller, Independent businesses rather than faceless, corporate, big companies. As a small business owner myself I know how great and fulfilling it feels to have a customer base who appreciate unique products and personal interaction with every sale. I run my business in a way that I like to be treated as a customer myself. Not every small town is graced with a range of independent, artisanal shops so it's great that there is so much choice buying online - you can still support the Indies without stepping outside your front door! I was delighted to be contacted by Saidat at Adorli recently as it was an online sho...

Brand Spotlight ~ Nature's Notes London

Image
Nature's Notes London* * Disclaimer: These soaps bars were sent to me as PR Samples to be included in my upcoming Christmas Gift Guide. However, I fell so totally in love with this brand that I wanted to showcase it separately! My thoughts are my own and links are not affiliated. Who? Nature's Notes London are a small-batch soap maker from London. What first really drew me to their products was the clever packaging around the soap to make them look like cassette tapes. When looking further into their Etsy Shop  I read that every single soap was inspired by a particular song. I love this idea of matching scents to songs and delivering them in a soap bar! Every single one of the Nature's Notes soaps sound beautiful. Such an amazing selection of scent combinations and songs to choose from! But I was immediately drawn to these two spicy scented soaps. The Pitch Black Soap* £6.50 Dark, mysterious, sensual and spicy, the Pitch Black Soap ...
