My Antipodes Collection

I'm slowly but surely building up my Antipodes collection having started with their Divine Oil which I first received in that amazing Selfridges Beauty Box that sent the whole beauty world crazy (link). The Deliverance Hand Cream is a new add! 

Vanilla Pod Hydrating Day Cream (60ml - £25.99) - I first tried this in a mini duo with the Divine Oil - see my review here. Simply gorgeous. Know it will be a re-purchase.

Delight Hand & Body Cream (120ml - £28.99) - I took ages to source this one. See my review HERE. Absolutely love it.

Deliverance Kowhai Flower Hand Cream (75ml - £15.99) - this is a recent buy. A rich and delicious orange scented hand cream which deeply nourishes and nurtures the hands and nails.

Avocado Pear Nourishing Night Cream (15ml) - which came in a mini anti-ageing set with the Joyous Protein-Rich Night Replenish Serum (10ml) (£13.99) - a real luxe trial size set which is a delight to use. Joyous deeply nourishes the skin and has a berry scent while the night cream nourishes, restores and uplifts.

Heavenly Body Oil (100ml - £24.99) - absorbs instantly and is scented with Ylang Ylang, Lavender, Rosewood and Jasmine. It rejuvenates and deeply nourishes the skin and is also heavenly for massage.

Recent Buys

Here's some April buys:

Kaplan MD Perfect Pout Introductory Kit from Cult Beauty. I've only tried this lip mask/lip balm set once so far so a full review will follow.

I picked up these Flamingo Melts recently. All smell gorgeous and I'm looking forward to trying them.

I absolutely love Atelier Cologne's Vanille Insensee perfume which I picked up in a set with sample vials and soap. Again a review will follow.

I've totally fallen for Corinne Taylor's handmade, organic products. I picked up Recharge Himalayan Bath Salts (divine) and a minty Wake up organic soap.

I'm a huge fan of Antipodes and love their little sets. I got this anti-ageing one from Only Naturals. Expect a review when I've had time to try them out.

February Empties

Here's what I've been using up in February:

CIME Daisy Delight Brightening Day & Night Cream 2ml sachet* - this was lovely to use. Very light in texture with a floral scent. When I'm finally needing a day or night cream I'll definitely pick this up.

Beatitude Joy Body Oil sample - a beautiful rich oil with an uplifting scent. I'd definitely buy full size. See my review HERE.

ESPA Optimal Skin ProCleanse 15ml* - lovely to use with a beautiful scent. A real luxe product.  It featured in Little Treats #9. When I eventually need a cleanser it's one I'd buy.

Olivine Love+Salt Beach Hair - Body Mist 60ml - this came in one of the ABW boxes. Loved the coconut scent. Mainly used it as a body mist. Would maybe buy.

Roger & Gallet Fleur de Figuier Replenishing Body Lotion 50ml - this came in one of the Advent Calendars. Was lovely to use with a delicious fig scent. I'd buy this.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Eye Rescue 1ml sachet - I absolutely loved this eye cream. Full size is on the wishlist. However, I also tried the Magic Night Cream 1.5ml sachet and I wasn't so impressed (didn't like the scent or feel on my skin) however I did love how my skin felt and looked in the morning! 

Therapie Himalayan Detox Salts 100g - a staple in my stash. I'm well stocked up for now but these will be bought again.

Therapie Cherish Skin Repair Serum 30ml - I've used this beauty before and full size is now on the wishlist. Every Therapie product I've tried I've loved.

May Lindstrom The Jasmine Garden Botanical Mist 100ml - I absolutely loved this. See my review HERE. I'll definitely buy this again - maybe when there's another Cult Beauty GWP.

REN Moroccan Rose Otto Bath Oil 110ml - this is one of my favourite bath oils (ever). I've got one I got a Christmas time just opened. 

Jo Loves Pomelo 2ml sample vial - I absolutely adore this beautiful scent. Full size is on the wishlist.

Jo Malone Blackberry & Bay Cologne 1.5ml - a pretty scent but not my favourite from Jo Malone so probably wouldn't buy.

Spiezia Facial Cleanser Travel Size tin 10ml - one of the very first balm type cleansers I used. See my review HERE. Will buy again at some point.

REN Oat & Bay Conditioning Shampoo 50ml - this was nice to use. Would maybe buy full size.

COLAB Dry Shampoo Monacco 50ml - found this dry shampoo to be really effective. I'd buy again.

Freyaluna Rose Petal Tub Tea - this little single use tea bag is lovely. It comes in the exquisite Rose Petal Gift Set.

Aromatherapy Associates Renewing Rose Body Wash 40ml - this was lovely. I've got another one in my stash but it's a body wash I'd buy.

Antipodes Vanilla Pod Hydrating Cream 15ml - I simply loved this day cream so much so I've ordered a full size pot.

4160Tuesdays London 1969 EDP 2.25ml sample vial - this came in the 4160Tuesdays Advent Calendar. It's one of my favourites and I've since bought a bigger size.  Next time I need it I'll be buying full size. I just love it.

Omnisens Delice Passion Massage Oil 15ml - this was nice to use with a sweet scent. Would maybe buy full size.

Therapie Boost Hair & Body Wash 50ml - a refreshing wash which has a beautiful scent. See my review HERE. I've got another which I'm saving for holidays.

Shopping My Stash #70

Antipodes Delight Hand & Body Cream - I've got a lot of love for this gorgeous brand and definitely want to try more from it this year. See my review HERE. It's a beautiful cream scented with Vintage Gardenia petals with green notes.

Studio 78 Liquid Lipstick in Let's Get Married - Rose Wedding - it's an intense deep rose and is highly pigmented and also stays on all day/night.

Grown Alchemist Watermelon and Vanilla Lip Balm - which is the lushest and most delicious balm I own. Glossy too.

Mitchell & Peach Flora No.1 Fine Radiance Oil - this is a really fab nourishing oil which I received in a YOU Beauty Box which is packed with anti-oxidants and vitamins. It blurs fine lines, plumping and adding radiance to the skin.

Avalon Organics Volumising Rosemary Shampoo - having loved Avalon's Clarifying version (review) I picked up a couple more. This volumising shampoo is fantastic and leaves the hair looking fuller, shiny and clean. Love this brand.

Review & Giveaway: Antipodes Moisture Boost Minis - it's over!

I recently picked myself up Antipodes Moisture Boost Minis from Lucy Rose Organic Beauty Store. I've used Antipodes's Divine Oil before and loved it but was keen to try their Vanilla Pod Hydrating Day Cream (so glad I did).

Inside the duo kit is:

Divine Face Oil (10ml)

Vanilla Pod Hydrating Day Cream (15ml)

It's an absolute great try me kit or for travel. I know for sure I'll be picking it up again!

Divine Face Oil 10ml - a nutrient rich oil which is great for anti-ageing and also contains a natural sun filter and deeply hydrates the skin. Collagen boosting Avocado oil helps with fine lines and wrinkles while rosehip targets scars and wrinkles.  Apply a few drops to the skin either alone or under moisturiser.

Vanilla Pod Hydrating Day Cream 15ml - for me this is the star of the duo. A super rich cream containing manuka honey active 20+, Vinanza Grape, Avocado Pear Oil and Shea Butter which absorbs easily and has the delicious scent of Vanilla and Mandarin. Can be used alone of with the face oil.
