Rituals The Ritual of Ayurveda Body Mist

One of my favourite candles is Jasmine Dreams by Rituals and it was the first product I had ever used from the brand. Fast forward a few years and I have used a few products (here and here) and the most recent to my collection is The Ritual of Ayurveda Body Mist.

Ayurveda originated more than 5000 years ago in India. This philosophy is based on restoring inner harmony through the old practice of cleansing and nurturing your body and soul. The Ritual of Ayurveda has been designed to support this philosophy and offers a collection of luxury home and body care products that help balance your body, mind and soul.

The Rituals The Ritual of Ayurveda Body Mist is described as being a rejuvenating spritz that can be used to refresh skin or perfume linens. It is infused with the delicate fragrance of both Indian Rose and Himalaya Honey which work with Sweet Almond Oil.

• Indian Rose - As a universal symbol of purity and love, the sweet and delicate aroma of the rose is said to evoke positive feelings. Its aroma also has soothing properties.
• Sweet Almond Oil - an ancient Ayurvedic ingredient that restores the skin's moisture balance.
• Himalaya Honey - Himalaya Honey has been known for its medicinal properties for a long time now and it has a special softening and moisturising effect on the skin. Himalaya Honey is harvested from the virgin forests in the Himalayan mountains, the most natural environment imaginable, and provides essential nutrients and vitamins.

On the mist is spritzed, those delicate aromas come to life and creates such a refreshing scent, on the skin it moisturises and nourishes and leaves a trace behind, on Linen, again the mist settles to create a subtle scent that lingers for a good few days.  For me, this mist works best once it has settled, the aroma of Indian Rose is most definitely the dominant scent until it dries down to allow the Himalaya Honey to add a delicate sweetness and it is just a beautiful scent.

Alongside the Body Mist, the Ritual of Ayurveda also has a candle, foaming shower gel, hair mist, Shower Oil, Dry Oil and much more (here).  This Body mist is priced at £16.50 and is available from places such as LookFantastic and John Lewis (aff links)

Jurlique Winter Essentials

I am probably the only person who really hates snow.  It is pretty to look at out of your window whilst you are nice and cosy but my love affair with it ends right there.  Walking on it makes me want to heave as it crunches beneath my shoes and as for slush and ice, it is a big fat no.  With snow comes cold weather and right now, it is absolutely freezing and my skin is just not a fan.  Thankfully, Jurlique have got it all covered with their Winter Essentials Collection to help keep your skin in amazing condition and smelling absolutely incredible.

This gift set comprises of four products across a range of face and body products available from Jurlique and they include:

Softening Shower Gel Rose (300ml) - If you love the scent of rose, then you will absolutely love this Shower Gel. It has a mild, delicately scented formula with a natural Rose fragrance. Infused with pure organic botanical extracts of Chamomile, Liquorice and Rosemary, the scent is so fresh, you could easily be walking through a spring garden.  On the skin, not only is the formula luxurious, it gently cleanses and softens the skin whilst at the same time maintaining the skin's natural protective barrier to prevent dryness. Helpfully, the shower gel comes housed in a pump action bottle which makes it really easy to use in the shower.  This Softening Shower Gel is also free from soaps, sulphates, parabens, silicones, PEGs, artificial colours and fragrances.

Rose Hand Cream (30ml) - This is one of my favourite hand creams from Jurlique and I have a full review of it (here) already.  It is enriched with honey, which is incredibly nourishing for the skin as well as Precious Rose Oil to restore the skin as well as Sweet Almond Oil and Voila which together work to soothe dry irritated hands.  There is also the inclusion of antioxidant Vitamin E, which works to protect skin from damage caused by free radicals.

Rose Body Oil (100ml) - If you love the scent of Rose and love body oils then this combination is definitely one to try.  Suitable for all skin types, not only is this oil delicately fragranced with rose, it moisturises, nurtures and balances the skin.    The lightweight formula is delightful on the skin, it sinks in without leaving any greasy residue behind on the skin.  It is also perfect for using as a massage oil too!  I have a full review of the Limited Edition Version of this Rose Oil (here) already on my blog.

The final product in this collection is the Skin Balancing Face Oil (30ml) - I am a huge fan of facial oils and this one is incredibly divine.  It is non-greasy and absorbs quickly into the skin.  Enriched with Safflower, Rose Hip, Avocado and Macadamia Seed Oils all of which work to soothe and rebalance the skin whilst Shea Butter moisturises to leave your skin feeling soft, smooth and protected from environmental aggressors.

If you have never used any products from Jurlique before or if you are already a fan, this collection is just incredible, more so because each one of the products can be bought separately or as part of a collection from places such as Lookfantastic.  This particular set has a value of £75 but was on offer for just £51.

Tribe Perfume

The very first perfume I ever owned was called Tribe, it launched back in 1991 and was the bottle that saw me through school, through friendships, breakups and a bottle that I have kept the entire time as a memento in a memory box I started to create many moons ago.  If you don't remember Tribe, it was the bright purple box with the even brighter pink writing and possibly the scent that everyone owned alongside The Bodyshop Dewberry and Impulse 02.  When it disappeared from sale in around 1997, I was gutted but I still had my original bottle - a bottle that has followed me through 6 house moves over the space of quite a few years!  But, it is now back on sale and I have got my hands on a bottle and I couldn't be more excited!

The outer box still looks very similar to the original but the main difference is the bottle.  Gone has the slightly twisted bottle design for something which is much sleeker and also gone is the bright blue and pink lid in favour of a gold version.  So whilst there have been some material changes, I am thankful that the fragrance is just as I remembered it and that there have been no changes made.

Remember leotards leggings and crop tops. And prints and patterns in every conceivable colour, as long as it was bright!How about Cool Britannia and Britpop? Or was it the craze for fitness and dance that got you?What are your memories of the nineties?Now you can them back to life with Tribe® perfume!Or would you simply love to experience this memorable era with this iconic 90's perfume.Treat yourself this nostalgic yet up to date perfume - right here, right now.Tribe® fragrance has risen again!

Described as being alluring and addictive, Tribe is a fragrance which is designed to suit everyone whether you are someone who loves to reminisce about fragrances of your youth or whether you want to try something new. 

Tribe opens with quite the burst of a cocktail of juicy fruits and really packs a powerful punch and it has top notes of mandarin orange, raspberry, peach, apple, bergamot and lemon of which come together and really makes quite the impression. The middle notes of cyclamen, jasmine, lily-of-the-valley and rose to bring to life those floral notes which intertwine with the top fruit notes before the base notes of sandalwood, amber, musk, oakmoss and cedar which breakdown the top and middle notes and allow just a hint of peach to seep through. Many people put this fragrance in the Oriental Floral group.

As you can see from the photo above, the current bottle of Tribe versus my own bottle circa 1992 according to the notes in my memory box, so it is quite dated but there is still some perfume in the bottle and I did spray it against the newly re-released bottle and they are exactly the same scent.

Retailing for around £24 Tribe can be found in all kinds of stores ranging from Amazon, Allbeauty, Fragrance Direct and of course the Tribe website too.

Jo Malone London Red Roses Bath Oil

When it comes to luxury and the wow factor, is there anything more delightful than a Jo Malone London package?  With Valentines Day having arrived, now is the time to grab those presents for your loved ones and if spending some quality time in the tub is something your other half loves, then this package has everything you need to impress, wow, pamper and relax.

The essence of modern romance. A voluptuous blend of seven of the world's most exquisite roses. With crushed violet leaves and a hint of lemon, it unfolds like a bouquet of freshly cut flowers. Surprisingly clean and sheer. For a sumptuous bathing treat, our Bath Oil is enriched with sweet almond, jojoba seed and avocado oils, which are natural conditioners that help soften and nourish the skin, while sublime fragrances fill the air and scent your skin.

I am still quite new to the wonder that is Jo Malone and first ever fragrance from the brand was Red Rose and Oud (review here)  and it is one I absolutely adore. I have for some time, dreamt of owning a bath oil and it was very much worth that wait.

I absolutely love the scent of roses, there is something quite extraordinary about the fragrance and within this bath oil, the blend of seven of the world's most exquisite roses. 

With top notes of Lemon which really gives a sharp burst of citrusy freshness as the bottle is opening, the heart notes of Red Roses Accord is where for me, this bath oil becomes that little something special and if you love the scent of fresh roses then this is something you would just love because it is that very same scent that you associate with a fresh bunch of roses as they come into bloom.  The base note of honeycomb adds a slight sweetness to the scent, but not so much that it dissipates the scent of roses.

To use this bath oil you only need one capful within your bath, once the water is running and as soon as the oil comes into contact with the water and steam vapour it comes to life and quickly seeps into every single room of the house to give a lovely scent.  There is no greasy film floating on top of the water and when you finish bathing, my skin felt absolutely incredibly soft and that fragrant scent of roses was most definitely evident, even a good few hours after bathing.  

Red Roses bath oil comes in three sizes - 250ml, 200ml and 30ml and the price of each changes depending on the size of the bottle you purchase. I have the 30ml bottle which is priced at £18 (here) and what I love about this size is that it is big enough to enjoy quite a few baths from and it is small enough to be taken away with you on holiday and long weekends away so you can really spoil yourself.
