Shopping My Stash #16


I've just realised I havent done a Shopping My Stash post since June! Really don't know why as I love both reading and writing them, and I've noticed I'm getting stuck in a bit of a rut reaching for the same products day in, day out. So Here's what I'll be making more of an effort to use over the next week or so -

NEW CID I-Perfection Colour Adjust Foundation*: The finish of this foundation is satin which is apparently what skin is all about this Autumn/Winter. It's a happy medium, I find a lot of skin types work well with satin finishes rather than oily skins having to avoid really dewy finish foundations, same with dry skins not working well with matte offerings. I-Perfection Colour Adjust is a really low maintenance foundation, it lasts well on my skin and sets quickly. My review.

Nina Ricci, Ricci Ricci: I'm on a mission to downsize my perfume collection. I have way too many that I don't even like and bought mainly because I liked the look of the bottle, this is one of them. I have bottles of the stuff dotted around the house but rather than them collecting dust and going off, I'm going to start getting some use from them. A lot of people love Ricci Ricci but sadly it falls under the migraine category for me most of the time. Notes include Rhubarb, Bergamot, Moonflower, Indian Tuberose, Centilfolia Rose, Patchouli and Sandalwood.

Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray: Probably one of the most talked about hair products ever. I remember reading about Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray in a magazine maybe 10/11 years ago and thinking to myself 'what idiot would want to coat their hair in salt' well, fast forward a few years and that idiot is writing this blog post. I do like Surf Spray but it's a long way off from making it into my Holy Grail List.. I wish it had more hold but need to play around with it a bit more before giving my review.

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub: This stuff smells incredible! I really wasn't expecting to like the sugar lime scent but it really works. I bought this at same time as The Breakfast Scrub which I prefer so naturally I've been neglecting Sugar Crush. The scrubby bits are less dense but it still leave my skin feeling smooth.

KIKO Long Lasting Lip Marker*: The shade I own is '103 Peach Red' Swatches and review. I know we're now in Autumn and lip colours generally get more vampy but every now and then you just need something a bit brighter and lighter.

    1. Salt sprays are a weird one for me.. I love how they make my hair look BUT I like my hair to look shiny which it definitely isn't after using this.

    1. Have you tried any of the less expensive ones from Boots? I think they might work just as good to be honest, might have to try a few from different brands.

  5. I love these posts :) If you like the bumble spray try BIG by lush, it's a sea salt shampoo and it leaves hair super voulumptous and shiny!

  6. Really like the sound of the CID foundation and agree with you on satin finishes - they seem to work for lots of different skintypes which is great :) x
