Who loves a haul? Kate loves a haul. I recently took myself off to Space NK to see what was new in, and ended up with a small basket of goodies. I recently posted about one of the purchases, but here\u2019s a couple of other treats I managed to score\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First up, the AESOP Resurrection Hand Balm (\u00a319) \u2013 a definite blogger staple that I\u2019ve been lusting after forever. I spied this on Meg\u2019s desk while rummaging through her makeup not so long ago, which meant I was just itching to get my paws on it. Space NK here in Glasgow has a few new brands in (Aesop and my beloved R+Co amongst the new additions) so I saw this as a sign from a higher power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hand cream itself is just beautiful \u2013 I have a hand cream obsession because I spend 90% of my life washing my hands. I wouldn\u2019t say I\u2019m overly picky about the hand cream I use, but I like it to smell lovely, sink in quickly and really quench that parched feeling. This little gem has got that covered, it smells divine \u2013 a really natural scent too, nothing chemical-y \u2013 and makes my hands feel like a dream. It\u2019s intensely nourishing without the greasy feeling and I\u2019d absolutely say it\u2019s worth that eye-watering price tag. Oh, and don\u2019t even get me started on that packaging. Talk about an Instagram prop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other skin treat I bought is actually a repurchase \u2013 a re-repurchase to be precise. The Elemental Herbology Facial Detox Mask (\u00a327) is one of my favourite clay masks, it\u2019s perfect for giving skin a good clear out throughout those hormonal patches when skin seems to lose its shit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is truly a skin saviour, it manages to clear out pores and decongest the skin and even leave the complexion looking clearer and a little brighter with regular use. I try to use it a couple of times a month, which is easily done as it works so well on an awkward, oily or blemish-prone skin type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike so many other masks I\u2019ve tried, this doesn\u2019t leave my skin looking or feeling tight or dehydrated.
Of course, Elemental Herbology pack in so many skin-loving botanical ingredients in to their products so they\u2019re a dream to use. Any signs of a breakout and I just sweep it on to cleansed skin and leave to dry \u2013 I soon feel loads better about my complexion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
