Happy Monday lovelies!

You know when you realise you have three days off over the next three weeks, and you just think, well damn? I am glad I can count on my loved ones (especially the mister for putting up with my mood swings,) to keep me sane.

That and pretty radios, fedora hats and sand timers in a bright blue...

No? Just me? That's cool!

Peace!

Empties...

Toni and Guy - Casual - Sea Salt Spray

Liz Earle - Hot Cloth Cleanser

Batiste - Dry Shampoo

Aussie - Dual Personality Texturising Spray

Caudalie - Beauty Elixir

No7 - Extravagant Volume Mascara

Hello lovelies! More of a reasonable post today for you, which is by the way of empties. I won't lie a majority of it is hair care, but I digress.

This collection of goods have really surpassed expectations for me. The sea salt spray is fantastic for putting on damp hair before bed to actually give my hair some subtle waves. I will be repurchasing shortly!

The Aussie gel spray is similar but I spritz this on dry hair, usually when I want more volume. I've already gone through about four bottles of this stuff this year - so yeah, a cult pick for me, and so readily available and usually on offer. 

Dry shampoo is something I'd been looking out for 'cause of my current job at the moment. I work odd shifts sometimes so I don't always have time for a hair wash beforehand. I tried the mini bottle (so cute!) and it's worked amazingly well. The other half actually uses it too - and we've since purchased the cherry flavoured one. My idea, of course...

Liz Earle + Caudalie are hot on the blogosphere and have been for a good while now, and shamefully I adore them also. I love the scent of the cleanse and polish - and the scent of the beauty elixir actually relaxes me first thing in the morning... perfect combination...

And for the mascara? I really does curl my lashes and lengthen perfectly. But then again, I've always favoured No7 mascaras anyway....

Peace!

Liz Earle - Most thoughtful + brand aware company ever...

So after having had three bottles of No7 Hot Cloth Cleanser, which costs under £10 and lasts me three months - using it twice daily. It is an amazing product, but I've now hit a rut. 

Incoming a hot cloth cleanser I've been waiting to get my mitts on for a while now, Liz Earle. 

I'm not here to discuss the product though, weirdly enough - as I have't tried it yet. What I want to share is how amazing was the consideration gone into their presentation and what they send you.

So not only did I get the hot cloth cleanser and muslin cloth - I got a dinky 30ml travel size hot cloth cleanser too! Terribly handy, even if you just run out of the larger size - or to keep one at your boyfriends house, should you have that situation going on...

I had a letter, giving me a particular deal. 'You buy this, we'll give you this which is worth this amount,' - Standard really for retailers but it is such a nice touch to keep customers coming back for more and building a strong relationship.

There was also a slip, pictured at the bottom - letting me know who actually wrapped my parcel up for me. Nice again, Liz Earle.

The finishing touches? Their make up in a little paint-swatch style ring binder - so you can find your perfect shade from their range, and also a product book of all of their products.

It really is these touches that make consumers come back for more, don't you think?

Peace!
