1) Cult Beauty have kicked off March by launching a really lovely goody bag. It’s free when you spend £90 – easily done when you consider that Cult have their virtual shelves stocked to bursting with all manner of desirable and quirky items. They have also recently started stocking the gorgeous beauty brand Aurelia, who make one of my favourite cleansers and the most decadent dry body oil in town and they have Alpha-H, Emma Hardie, Verso, Jouer Cosmetics…

Beauty highlights inside the gift-with-purchase: full-size Grown Alchemist Hand Cream (£14), Oskia Renaissance Mask 15ml (approx £14), Omorovicza Night Cream 30ml (approx £30), Verso Day Cream 15ml (approx £24), full-size Odacité Glow Serum, £46 and a 30ml Eve Lom cleanser, worth around £16. A nice and hefty haul, even if you don’t include the makeup bag (not pictured), the GlamGlow eye masks, the Philip B shampoo and the “Wellness Bubbles”. Oh, and a Jouer Kabuki brush worth £11! You can read more about the goody bag and shop until you drop here – the bag is added automatically when you spend £90.

 Free gifts with purchase at Cult Beauty!

2) I had a lovely quiet morning on Friday, sorting out my beauty samples ready for when I move house. (Temporarily moving house: we’re having ours renovated, which might sound mad considering I’m having a baby in early June, but there’s no way around it, we’re in too deep!) Whilst I sorted makeup into little boxes, Mr Bear sat and watched me from a bigger box and the dog trotted around the table bringing me various socks he had stolen from the laundry basket. My idea of a perfect morning, really…domestic bliss!
