A little bit of MUJI

The Acrylic Box

This 2 drawer box from MUJI currently resides on top of my chest of draws and houses all of my makeup essentials. I love the fact that MUJI’s acrylic boxes are clear as it means that finding my makeup in a hurry is no longer a challenge.

I have my eyes on their PP Baskets so I can organise my jewellery and makeup draws. Have you tried any of MUJI’s storage solutions? 

The Candles 

I have fallen hard for MUJI's candles, not only do they smell divine, but I don’t feel guilty when I burn my way through a few of them. The small tins are more of a steal than a splurge as they set me back by £3.50. My favourites are Log Fire (a dead ringer for Diptyque's Feu de Bois), Candy floss and Vanilla.

Here's the exciting bit, its MUJI’s Beauty Month from the 13th January till the 13th February 2014. MUJI are offering shoppers 10% off of their selection of acrylic storage, cosmetic accessories and home fragrances. You can shop online using the code MUJIBEAUTY or you can take this voucher into your nearest MUJI store. I think it’s about time I get organised!

Who doesn't love a bit of MUJI?!

I have not been compensated for this post and am simply sharing my love for MUJI.

The Soap & Glory Rinse

A peek into my bathroom reveals that I am a Soap & Glory lover through and through. There's just something about affordable indulgence. As soon as my stocks run low I head to my nearest Boots and pick up a few of my favourites on 3 for 2. Here's a look at a few of my top Soap & Glory picks.  

Rich & Foamous

Rich & Foamous is my all time favourite scent. My sister often states that it smells like cake batter. It's the combination of raw flower honey, almond milk, coconut oil, sweet almond oil and cocoa butter that create it's gorgeous aroma. Soap & Glory's 500 ML body washes seem to last me a while and as a result they dominate my bathing routine.  

Smoothie Star Breakfast Scrub 

I was never really one for scrub and used to use exfoliating mitts. I found that the majority of scrubs I tried were either not gritty enough or too abrasive on my skin. All changed once I discovered Soap & Glory's Smoothie Star Breakfast Scrub. Now this smells just as sweet as Rich & Foamous. What can I say I'm a sucker for sweet scents? The combination of scrubbing flaky patches away and the banana, almond, honey and shea butter formula leaves my skin feeling silky smooth.  

Butter Yourself

After my quick rinse, I like to butter myself up. I am currently using Butter Yourself it's rich in exfoliating AHAs which helps to combat any dead skin cells and it also shea butter that leaves my skin nourished all day.  

Have you tried a Soap & Glory rinse?  

Revlon's Quick Dry Top Coat

Here’s a little confession, I have never tried the Seche Vite Top Coat. I know shock horror! But, the list of health warnings makes me a little wary. Not to worry though, I'm here today to tell you about my favourite drugstore top coat. 

This is my second bottle of the stuff and it's a good’un. Revlon’s Quick Dry Top Coat does what it says on the tin, in 60 seconds you are left with a high shine finish and a dry mani. My manicure usually lasts 5 days before any signs of wear and tear appear and my pedicures last a whopping 2 weeks.

You can get your hands on Revlon’s Quick Dry Top Coat at Boots for £6.49.
