ok here it goes, my belated May breakdown *braces self* 1st Kora Organics Purifying Day & Night Cream - i did an order from Kora direct from australia to cut down on costs as this is pretty expenisve in £ on netaporter. This cream has been on my wishlist for years now! 1st Kora Organics Blemish Gel - this was a repurchase, its a pricey spot treatment but i really like it, its one of the few spot treatments that doesnt depress me!
1st Kora Organics Balancing Rose Mist - another repurchase, i use this more as a pick me up than a toner. 1st Kora Organics Luxurious Rosehip Body Oil - a very pricey body oil but i'd used the facial oil and liked the results on my skin so was hoping for similar with this. I do really enjoy using it but for the price i wont be buying it again. 1st Kora Organics Hand Cream -

free with look magazine this is pretty basic. I'm happy that i've started being more creative with getting things for free with points or on offer, but i still need to make sure that the offers aren't ruling me and to stop and think more carefully before an impulse purchase. I'm liking all the bits and pieces like the magazine freebies and the samples I've got with my Lush orders, and honestly i've got enough little extras to tide me over for quite a while now. If i'm being honest with myself now i don't really need much of anything in the forseable future except more shampoo & conditioner, a replacement for the hot cloth cleanser when it runs out and a deodorant. I'm 10 days into June so far but let's see how i do thinking on that!
