Haul: Organic Surge

I've used some of the Organic Surge facial skincare range before but wanted to try some of their other products and I had a wishlist of products so when last month they had free P&P and a free face mask worth £6.99 when you spent over £25 I succumbed and placed an order!

I ordered:

• Moisture Boost shampoo
• Moisture Boost conditioner
• Shine Boost shampoo
• Shine Boost conditioner
• Citrus Mint shower gel
• Sugared Almond shower gel
• Fresh Ocean shower gel
• Tropical Bergamot hand wash
• Gentle meadow hand wash
• First Class face mask (this was free)

I haven't tried any of these yet as I'm using up some of my hoard of products first but they all smell gorgeous!

Eeek I'm excited!

Some of my older followers will know that in my spare time I also enjoy crafting, mainly card making, and through starting this blog I began following crafting blogs where you have to submit a card each week relating to a specific challenge. So by not wanting to fill this blog with crafting posts I started my sister blog, bk crafting, with my mum and after not very long taking part in these challenges I was thrilled to be asked to be a guest design team member for a month at Pear Tree Designs!

So for the past month I've been submitting a card a week as a member of the DT but I was then asked if I would like to permanently become a full time member of the DT!! And of course I jumped at the chance so I now design for Pear Tree Designs!

When I started blogging which I began properly at the beginning of this year I never dreamt that I would end up having 2 blogs, a mountain of followers and a position in a design team! Hopefully there is much more still to come!

And the winner is.......

Apologies for the un-cropped photos (which are from Benefit), I didn't realise until I uploaded and I don't have time to crop and upload again. I'm being lazy!

There's some great gift ideas here and I have got my eye on the crescent row mini fragrance set. What do you think of the gift selection?

Freebies!

Ahh freebies! We love them don't we! This is just a few of the freebies I've acquired over the last week:

• Britney Spears Radiance perfume sample
• Olay wake up wonder moisturiser sample
• Pace Rabanne Lady Million perfume sample
• L'Oreal Studio Secrets primer sample
• Palmers cocoa butter body butter sample (I can't wait to try this one!)

Product use up

Wow I can't believe it's October! But I'm kind of liking the bright morning sunshine but it being really chilly and I've got my fleece PJ's out already! So onto this post on product use up....

Last months use up challenge went quite well. Products I have left are:

• Soap and Glory greatest scrub
• Organic Surge face wash
• Avon planet spa eye cream

But I stopped using my normal products because I've been using my new Good Things skincare ready to review so if it wasn't for that I wouldn't have anything left.

And from previous months I've still got:

• Handlicious hand scrub
• Soap and Glory sit tight
• L'Occitane verbena body gel
• Soap and Glory Spa blueberry thrill body butter
• Toni and Guy brunette blow dry spray

This months products are:

• Body Shop banana shampoo
• Body Shop banana conditioner
• Avon senses mystique shower gel
• L'Occitane verbena shower gel
• La Roche-Posay foaming cleansing gel

So I'm aiming to have finished all of this months products and 4 of the roll over products!
