Samples I Picked Up From Pegasus' Beauty Showcase

For today's post, I thought I'd show you the bits and bobs I was lucky enough to pick up at this year's Pegasus PR Beauty Showcase.

I was beyond excited to finally get my hands on some coconut oil from the Holland & Barrett stand after the countless recommendations from many fab beauty bloggers about restoring moisture and shine to my hair. I was also intrigued by the hyaluronic acid supplements and lavender essential oil with the grapeseed oil base, so I grabbed those while I could.

Then we have the stunning Nefertiti Steam Cream tin, which I really love, and some healthy hair supplements called Viviscal. My hair has been breaking so much recently, so I thought I'd give the supplements a go.

I've got lots of other products to show you from the day that I received this week, so watch this space!

Have you tried any of these products? xxx

Saturday Beauty Steal #13

Everyone luxury beauty lover out there is well aware that Space.NK has an epic sale on at the moment. So, for this week's Saturday Beauty Steal, I searched the virtual shelves for some of the best bargains available.

I was thrilled when I came across this 3-piece Aromatherapy Associates Life Essentials Set for just £12.50 (50% off). What a bargain for a high-quality brand like AA!

What is it?

The Aromatherapy Associates Life Essentials set includes 3 7.5ml bath and shower oils - Relax (for a good night's sleep, with vetivert, chamomile and sandalwood), De-Stress (to calm and clarify your thoughts, with lavender, ginger, rosemary and black pepper) and Revive (to invigorate and energise, with pink grapefruit, rosemary and juniper berry).

What do I like about it?

Any beauty product that is associated with relaxation or sleep is a dream to me, so using the Relax and De-Stress oils in the bath and shower would be heaven. Those of you who read my blog will also know that I love invigorating citrus scents (especially pink grapefruit), which makes me love the idea of the Revive oil too. The great thing about this set is the V factor - variety. It caters to several different moods and enables you to switch it up when you feel like something new. The set also acts as a tester, so you can try before you buy a full-size bottle of your favourite scent.

Why is it a steal?

Not only is the set currently 50% off its normal price (a steal in itself), but also you are getting three high-quality oils from a top class aromatherapy brand for less than 15 quid. This deal is so good - if I wasn't on a spending ban I'd be taking full advantage!

You can buy the Aromatherapy Associates Life Essentials Set here.

New Beauty Buys at ASOS, Space.NK & Selfridges

Before I start this post, I should let you know that I recently had a bit of an ASOS and Space.NK haul, so I probably won't be able to buy any of these products for a while, but there's no harm in window shopping (right?!)

Here's my edit of the new-in beauty buys at ASOS, Space.NK and Selfridges, which includes a few limited edition products, fab fruity shower goodies and staple make-up shades.

Hope you like them!
