My Beauty:Sale Purchases

This is my first post of 2016. Happy New Year. I haven’t posted for a while as I’ve been incredibly busy at work but I’ve still managed to grab some bargains in the sales. First up are my beauty bargains.

  
Aromatherapy Associates via their direct website have a sale with 50pc discount. I got the bath Jewel set with 10 gorgeous bath and shower oils with 50pc discount. This would make a lovely present however I think I will keep this for myself as an indulgent treat. 

   
 
I also got a smaller bath oil set which I will gift. The AA oils are the best quality and intensity I have tried. They are divine. The discount was by far the best on the AA website. 

Next was the Ciate advent calender which I will keep for myself for 2016. I found this on Asos for £25.

  

Then my favourite bargain was this set of 6 Stila Lip Glazes I found in M&S instore for £9 with value of £54. Stila lip glazes are great and this would make a lovely gift.

  

My Beauty: Space NK

I am a marketers dream when it comes to gift with purchases GWP. I received an email from Space NK this week to say that the infamous GWP will happen shortly and to watch my inbox. Space NK have 2/3 of these per year and the contents is usually fabulous. It does require quite a high spend to qualify – £160 this time round  – but I try and either stock up on staples such as Emma Hardie Moringa Balm or Acqua di Parma and this time round I’m thinking I could buy some xmas gifts. I’ve been looking on the Space NK site and compiling my list of gift purchases so I’m ready to go when I get the email. I would love to receive any of these items as gifts and have given or received some of them previously. 

  

1. Aesop Hand Wash
2. Aromatherapy Associates Bath Oil
3. Laura Mercier Creme Brûlée Bath Cream
4. Kiehls Creme de Corps
5. Ren Rose Otto Shower Oil
6. Diptyque Figuier Candle
7. This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray

Below is an example of a previous GWP. I’m waiting patiently to see the contents of the forthcoming one. Whilst writing this I got a further email from Space NK revealing 3 products – a mini Diptyque candle, Laura Mercier Lipgloss and an Algenist serum. There will be a further reveal each day so I suspect the gift will be on sale next week. 

  

My Life: Sunday Night Inspiration

I took my mum for a Jessica pedicure at Maison Talbooth in Dedham today including a lovely hot stone foot massage. Divine! It’s in such a spectacular setting I really want to try a spa day here and experience the outdoor pool. 

I am now just perusing the treatment menu, salivating over the Aromatherapy Associates massage treatments and mentally compiling a wish list. 

This is the view that I will never tire of. How beautiful is Essex?!
