Savvy Circle gave out Pantene Expert samples of the new age defy shampoo and conditioner that's been released and those how entered got an email explaining they would rather send full sized bottles out and so i now have one of each to try, if you aren't a member i suggest joining up, they have some great freebies on offer most weeks.
My Glossy box this month wasn't anything exciting, a perfume sample by Lalique, a mascara by Essence, a glossybox own highlighter, a tiny bottle of nail polish from yves rocher and a mango and mandarin hand cream by figs and rouge. As you can see from my write up none of these were anything special and i suspect before christmas i'll be unsubscribing.
I'd love to share by BirchBox with you guys however it was carelessly left by my door and it looks like someone decided to help themselves and throw the empty box back into my garden, I've contacted BB but have yet to receive a new box.

August outs
This month has run away with me and with an impending house move, wedding and school start i can't seem to find the time to post often but i'll get there if you all bare with me :)
This month i managed a few use ups so i'm pleased my stash is going down
Original source - cranberry and honey daily scrub, i love a deep scrub and this didn't skimp on the seeds so i'd definitly buy more if i didn't have so many to use, it has a lovely but not over powering scent and i enjoyed using it.
Wilkos sweet vanilla and honey bath, this was too sickly sweet for me, i love vanilla but the honey was too rich and i was glad to be done with it, i'd use other wilkos foam bath products without hesitation i just know not to repurchase this one.
Avon Advance Techniques salon therapy for dry and damaged hair, i've found using this like a hair mask is the way forward when i run out however i don't tend to buy it because i have family that work for avon so i know christmas will bring more soon enough.
Laura Mercier body souffle - vanilla, this is an amazing cream, the texture, smell and longtevity it fantastic, sadly it was a Beauty box gift and i don't have the kind of budget that stretches to this product but i'd relish it in another box.
Monuspa - ginger bath and body oil, i'm not a fan of ginger and this was quite strong but my partner noticed it and really liked it so i'd consider repurchasing for that reason alone. It left my skin smooth and soft without the greasy after feel oils tend to give.
La Roche Posay - redermic anti aging cream, i didn't see any effects from using this, it was a lovely texture and a great freebie however i wouldn't purchase it again because i have other favourites from LRP that i'd sooner spend my money on.
I also used up a soap bar and my first every empty nail varnish remover bottle was thrown away today so it's been an alright month for use ups.
Next month i'll be back on form and posting posts through out the month instead of several in a day :)

July Ins
This month is as much lifestyle as it is beauty and quite a few samples are in the post on the way.
Its a great month for samples and reviews so i'm going to try and fit as many items into each post as possible.
Let's kick things off with.....Lenor Unstoppables, these beauties were sent to me courtesy of Super Savvy and they are lush! you pop them in the washer before you turn it on and they give your clothes a long lasting scent, i only used it this morning but they smell great and i'm hoping it lasts.

In my In's box this month i have:
Dove invisible dry, i love a good streak free deodorant so i'm happy i got this
2 palmers samples a gentle exfoliator and a calming face lotion which i'm planning on trying as soon as i use up my current ones.
Bvlgari Omnia Indian Garnet 5ml sample bottle this smells lovely for summer and is a great size to really try out a new scent.
I received 2x pots of nail decor from Stargazer and gave them a quick try out, i've never used either before and the black beads were certainly different, my nails need filling so sorry they aren't great shots but for a fun night out or a statement nail they are a great little purchase.
Lastly i am still part of the Tesco orchard group and i was sent a £5 Tesco home voucher free so i had a look around my local store and found this lovely lantern for a £3.50 steal and the pomegranate candle which took me to £1.50 over budget but for the 2 items i was happy to pay it.
Hopefully you've had some great samples and if you haven't get in touch and i'll send you a list of sites to find some :)
