I don't know if its a case of the grass is always greener on the other side (of the Atlantic - which let's face it, it literally is - have you seen those lawns?!?) or what but recently I have really been loving Cult Beauty. Their website is a delight to browse - it is so well laid out and contains so much information that I often find myself there just having a look and/or planning what to get next.
It was recently their 15th Birthday and to celebrate there was a week of various offers. As alluring as a site wide 15% off is there's nothing quite so enticing to me as a good old goody bag! And they had a good one free with a 90 GBP spend. Free shipping and no tax meant that I couldn't really say no...
Here's what I purchased:
Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel is something that I've really been looking forward to trying out (it's not easy to get over here). It contains all sorts of good stuff - Vitamins A, C and E, Omega 6, protein from pumpkins, sulphur to soothe and it smells deliciously of rose. I've used it a couple of times and I'm impressed - so far it lives up to it's hype.
I picked up another cleanser by Oskia, their Perfect Cleanser. It's a thick, emulsifying, balm cleanser, and it did a great job of removing my make up. It rinsed well and left my skin feeling softened and hydrated. I'm pleased with this but will keep it to use when the weather gets cooler.
Alpha H is another hard to find brand in America. Always on the lookout for a great eye cream I decided to try Alpha H Absolute Eye Complex. I love it's travel friendly packaging - it's a tube with a pump nozzle - can't wait to try this. It promises to soothe and hydrate and contains cucumber which is an ingredient that I love for its scent and cooling effect.
Everything else in the photograph was in the gift bag. There was a good mix of skincare and make up, some products that I have already used and some that are new to me.
Amongst the goodies are two full sized make up items - a Fiberwig Mascara and a Nudestix in 'Love' which is the prettiest pink nude. There's the sweetest mini Beauty Blender with its own cleaner and some Anastasia Brow Gel.
Whilst I don't use wipes that often (and am trying to use them even less) the Skyn Glacial Cleansing Cloths will be good for travel. I'm pleased to get more Ren I Minute Flash Facial, which I loved using when I had a previous samples and delighted to get some Sunday Riley Flora which I've yet to try.
I have a couple of sachets of Roloxin Lift already (it's a temporary facial tightener) and the addition of another means that I really should try it out don't you think?
Alpha H Daily Essential Moisturizer is a facial moisturizer with SPF 50, that I was pretty impressed with when I wore it the other day. It sat comfortably under make up without making me look shiny and it didn't make me break out like many other sunscreens do.
Zelens ZMatrix is a nourishing gel cream that I'm also looking forward to trying as I've been impressed by other Zelens products I have tried.
The two tiny samples are Odacite Hyperpigmentation Serum and Tata Harper Aromatic Stress Treatment and, finally, there was a generous sized bottle of Kai Body Lotion.
Oh, and it all came in a good sized blue metallic cosmetic bag (not pictured).
There's plenty of things there for me to play around with and I'm happy to finally get my hands on some Oskia - Cult Beauty you rock!
