Latest Haul - Ozsale Is My Weakness

So, I admit it. I am a sucker for Ozsale. I just can't help buying things from this sale website and really need to stop. It's even worse now they have changed their rules and give you free postage on anything you buy in another sale within an hour of your first purchase. I just feel compelled to look at more things!!

My latest haul from them was some lovely MOR goodies and a polish from OPI. I did purchase two polishes but got notice that one was not able to be supplied so only ended up with one :-(

Here is what I got:

1) MOR Emporium Body Butter in Feijoa Lime - I am just a little bit obsessed with their body butters and love every scent. It's just a shame they come in such nice packaging because I hate to open them.

2) MOR Hand Cream in Indian Pomelo - This smells absolutely devine and won't be leaving my side for a very long time.

3) MOR Lip Nectar in Lychee Flower - This is the first lip nectar I have bought and I can't wait to try it. I just have to get myself to open it first!

4) OPI Nail Lacquer in 'I Want To Be A-Lone Star'. This is a pastel blue/grey with a hint of silver shimmer.

This is the second time I have fallen for one of the MOR sales and I seriously could have purchased everything there was but I was good and restricted myself to these items because they were scents I hadn't tried before.

Is anyone else a sucker for these sale websites like I am?

November Empties

Yeah, this post is a little late but we have had almost a week without internet at home and I am only just catching up on everything that fell behind because of that.

This month has been a huge month for using up products, mainly because of the amount of samples I receive now because of the monthly beauty sample boxes.

See below:

1) Marc Jacobs 'Oh Lola' Sample - I really loved this perfume and have been using it quite a bit. It's surprising how much use you get out of those little spray bottles.

2) Palmolive Naturals Shower Gel with Almond Oil & Vanilla - I can't even remember when I bought this shower gel as it literally lasted forever. I swear there were some little Palmolive elves coming into my shower every week and refilling this bottle. Talk about a good value shower gel. This is maybe one to keep as a backup in your bunker for when the world ends and you won't be able to make it to the shops for a while :-)

3) John Frieda Full Repair Shampoo & Conditioner samples - These were nice products to use but nothing to really rave about. I think I only got about three uses out of each one so not really enough time to come to any real conclusion.

4) Sunsilk Super Shine Shampoo & Conditioner travel sizes - I originally purchased these to put in my hospital bag when I was going in to give birth to my son and then completely forgot about them when I got home. I eventually found them again when looking through my bathroom cabinet and decided to just use them up. This is a nice no frills shampoo and conditioner.

5) QV Bath Oil - I love this stuff and put a little into every bath no matter what else I've put in there too. I've also put a small amount into my son's bath now and then if he had any skin flare ups. It leaves you feeling so soft and really helps with any eczema or dry patches you might have.

6) MOR Body Butter samples in Belladonna and Italian Blood Orange - It is no secret that I have a MOR fetish and I received these samples with my last full size body butter order. The Italian Blood Orange is just delicious.

7) Clinique Clarifying Lotion - This was a great toner and made my skin feel super clean and seemed to really help my moisturiser sink in. I think I received this as a gift with purchase many moons ago and was another product I found in my bathroom a while ago and decided to finally use up.

8) Kerastase Shampoo & Treatment samples - These sachets just didn't contain enough product to adequately cover my hair. I could manage to work in the shampoo all over but the treatment was nowhere near enough. I don't even have very long hair (it's only a few centimetres past my shoulders) and it's very fine so there's no way these would be enough for anyone with normal hair.

9) Erborian BB Creme and Elixir Au Ginseng samples - I was surprised at how many uses I got out of each of these samples. I think I got about 3-4 days out of the BB Creme because it was so thick and about 3 uses out of the Elixir. This BB Creme was thicker than most foundations I have used and was a little hard to rub into my face at times. A little really goes a long way and it covered everything! The Elixir was a gorgeous consistency and made my skin feel so super soft after use. I also liked the way it didn't make my face feel sticky after applying like some of these creams have a tendency to do.

10) ROC Complete Lift samples - I am in love with this cream and have been using it every day in the mornings before applying my makeup. It makes my skin look awake and feel super soft. I had a bit of raw red skin around my nose a week or so ago after having a cold that just wouldn't go away and this cream has healed this skin perfectly without any stinging or irritation.

11) Gatineau Anti-Wrinkle Concentrate sample - This sample was teeny weeny tiny and I think I only got 2-3 uses out of it so really not enough to tell whether it was much good or not. I did like the smell, I can at least say that much.

So that's it for November.

I hope everyone is looking forward to Xmas this year? This will be our first Xmas with our little man as a family so it should be super fun!

MOR Lip Sync Trio Gift Pack

This is to be a really quick post as we have no internet at home at the moment so I'm having to write this on my phone. Not the easiest thing to do!

Anyway, I recently purchased this MOR lip sync trio gift pack as a Xmas present for a good friend (who luckily doesn't read this blog) and I just wanted to share it with you guys as I think its one of the most adorable things ever.

It comes as a cute Xmas bauble and there are three Lip Macarons inside in the flavours French Vanilla, Rosebud and Peach Nectar and I just want one of these for myself now (hint hint to hubby).

I have a bit of an obsession with MOR products and don't think you can ever go wrong with anything from their range.

I really hope my friend likes this!

What does everyone else think of MOR? Do you have any favourite products from this brand?

MOR Body Butter Score

Well I just couldn't resist using my MOR Cosmetics promotional discount of 30% off all of their Emporium Body Butters the other day and this is what I ended up with:

I ordered the full size of the Candied Vanilla Almond scent and the Lychee Flower scent (both are just devine and were so cheap at 30% off!) and ended up receiving three samples in Snow Gardenia, Belladonna (the original one I tried that has given me my MOR Body Butter obsession) and also Italian Blood Orange.

Unfortunately the Snow Gardenia sample isn't in the picture as one of my very naughty puppy dogs also took a liking to it's smell and ran off with the tube and I haven't found his hiding place as yet :-) I hope I find it unscathed as it smells so good and reminds me of my gardenia bush in my front garden and is the first sample that I actually wanted to try!

I can see me having the softest skin by the end of summer as I will be slathering this stuff on as much as I can. I just can't get enough of it!

I wonder what is everyone else's favourite body butter at the moment?

MOR Belladonna Body Butter

I was recently fortunate enough to receive this MOR Belladonna Body Butter as part of my loyalty status prize from BeautyHeaven.com and I have seriously fallen in love. It would have to be one of the most luxurious feeling creams I have ever used and the smell is just divine!!
At first I didn't want to open it as it looked so cute all wrapped up like a little present but once I bit the bullet and opened it up I was hooked.
I love to put this body butter on at night after my shower and I have found that I can still smell it halfway through the next day as if it was just applied and it makes my skin feel so ultra smooth almost like velvet.
I've always been interested in trying the products from the MOR range as they always look so cute and are packaged so nice so getting this Body Butter as a gift was very exciting.
One thing I have noticed is that it can be a little bit hard to get out of the container sometimes, mainly because it is just so thick. You really don't need to use much though as it seems to go a long way.
For anyone that is interested if you register on the MOR Cosmetics site at the moment you can get 30% discount off all of the Emporium Body Butter range. This deal runs until the end of September. I certainly know what I'll be buying with my 30% off!!
Chat later,
