October Favourites

This month I have been on a serious spending spree especially when it comes to LUSH products I just can’t help myself. So I have 6 favourites that stand out from all the purchased products this month.

LUSH Cosmetics Mask Of Magnaminty 315g (RRP £9.75) I purchased this at the start of October and have been using it religiously ever since it does wonders for my oily skin (see recent review). This product has a subtle scent of mint which reminds me of mint chocolate chip it smells so yummy and good enough to eat, it is not over powering which you would think a mint mask would affect your eyes but it does not. My skin is left feeling soft as a babies bottom and smelling absolutely amazing, not to mention looks great too! This shall definitely be a repurchased product when it’s finished.

LUSH Cosmetics Sparkly Pumpkin (RRP £3.50) I saw this product online when the halloween/christmas range came out but could not seem to find it in the Manchester store so when I tried the Bury store they had it thankfully just in the nick of time for halloween. This bubble bar is absolutely amazing, this will be reviewed shortly but what I can say is the amount of bubbles it creates is just awesome you can definitely give yourself a bubble beard.

LUSH Cosmetics Reindeer Rock (RRP £3.64 100g) I only just picked this product up yesterday but I have seen it online and it was definitely in my wish list. This super cute christmas soap with reindeer-embossed patterns is definitely what you need after a long day leaving you feeling calm and refreshed. An added bonus is it smells absolutely fantastic, the sweet smell of berries is definitely what drew me to this product. I cannot recommend this enough if you love fruity soaps. 

Botanicals Foot Scrub (RRP £14.95 70g) & Foot Balm (RRP £15.95 50g) I was kindly sent this product from Botanicals (see review here) but this product has been a life saver for my tutsies, smoothing out that dead skin.. ew I know! But it has come at the right time due to my maternity leave ending and returning back to work soon so I shall need a good scrub for after those long days.

ÊTRE Belle Cosmetics Liplift Peel 15ml (RRP €12.95) I received this product in my October Glossybox and it could not have come at a better time, I am prone to chapped and dry lips unfortunately and it does not look the greatest especially when wearing lipstick. This product has been a lifesaver for my lips and they are left feeling so smooth it’s unreal.

Premae Mild Pro Dermabrasion 20ml (100ml RRP £25.00) I received this body scrub in my first Birchbox (review here) and I must say I was impressed with the results, the fact that this body scrub was vegan is what drew me in and made me want to use it instantly. The product was a lovely consistency and left my skin feeling so soft which is great for these upcoming winter months.

Have you used any of these products before?

Have you got an October favourites i’d like to read yours.

Botanicals | Foot Scrub & Foot Balm

Botanicals is a multi-award winning natural skincare and body care brand with products that are organic, cruelty free and suitable for vegetarians and vegans ticking all the right boxes when it comes to what I like and look for in a skincare and body care brand.

Botanicals Foot Scrub | Lemongrass & Tea Tree 30g (RRP £14.95 70g)

I was kindly sent this *Botanicals Foot Scrub to test out after my recent review of their foot balm. This product is “Winner of a Beauty Bible ‘Best foot treat’ award, our revitalising natural scrub  exfoliates dead skin cells, whilst softening hard, dry skin on the feet. Made with Himalayan mineral crystal, Dead Sea salt and skin softening shea butter.”

Key ingredients: shea butter*, sunflower oil*, Dead Sea salt, Himalayn mineral crystal, lemongrass*, mandarin* & tea tree* essential oils. (*Certified organic.)

I always love products that go along way and this fits perfectly into this category as it is concentrated (does not contain water) only a pea sized amount is needed to cover your entire foot. It is advised to remove from the jar with a teaspoon or spatula and then mix the scrub with a small amount of warm water in between your hands, you then spread the scrub over your foot rubbing vigorously. Once you have finished and want to remove the scrub then add a little more water and continue rubbing it into your foot until the granules have dissolved.

Firstly, this sample comes in a cute 30ml jar it is beautifully packaged in a glass container which gives it an expensive feel to the product. The product is also scented with lemongrass and tea tree which to me reminds me of lemon curd, it smells absolutely divine leaving your feet smelling amazing. Now onto the review, I must say it has done a fantastic job of leaving my feet feeling silky smooth and ridding them of dead skin. I have been using this product for the past couple of days and have had amazing results already, I used it after a bath or shower and followed the advice that Botanicals gave when using the product which I then followed using the mint and tea tree foot balm which I think both compliment each other.

Botanicals Foot Balm | Mint & Tea Tree 5g (RRP £15.95 50g)

“Botanicals balms are made entirely with plant derived ingredients. For this multi-award-winning natural foot balm, we combine organic shea butter with cold-pressed organic oils, and natural vitamin E, enhanced with pure organic essential oils.”

Key ingredients: Organic shea butter, organic jojoba, organic apricot kernel oil, organic peppermint, spearmint and tea tree essential oils.

I have already reviewed this foot balm and did not have brilliant results when using it alone but when using in conjunction with the foot scrub it works absolute wonders for my feet leaving them brilliantly soft after a long day.

5/5

Overall, I am extremely happy with the results from using both the foot scrub and foot balm I have found that they both compliment each other fantastically giving you silky smooth feet. I cannot recommend these two products enough to others and what is even better they are all natural, I have also seen that they do a foot soak which I think I will also invest in along with the full sized products when they are empty.
