Wood's Body Goods | Review

In early September I was lucky enough to have been sent some products to test out from a company that I had never even heard of before.  Wood's Body Goods is a Canadian company that uses locally sourced ingredients to create handmade, natural bath and body products.  I was sent a deodorant, a shaving soap & multiple lip balms to try.

The rosemary & lavender deodorant that I was sent is absolutely fantastic. It smells herbally, but the scent doesn't stick around too long. What does stick around is the deodorizing power! While I might not wear this to run a marathon, it is more than sufficient for a day's work or even light exercising. It also available in a couple other scents, including unscented!

The beer soap is an interesting concept, but one that I love! Mine is a light brew (but they have others) and smells of nothing much. It lathers wonderfully and I use mine for shaving.  I believe that's what they are promoted as being used for.  If you look closely the soap also has a beer bottle cap in the top of it...how cute!

The lip balms I was less thrilled with, but I gave a couple to friends and they liked them.  They smell delicious! I just found that for my extremely chapped lips (especially with the weather turning colder), this didn't do enough. These come in around 5 different flavours, and they all sound yummy!

Interested?  They have an online shop here  OR if you live in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan or Manitoba, they sell their products in real life (the list of where their products are sold is featured on their website).

Overall, I'm super impressed by this brand and I will definitely be ordering myself some more deodorant when mine runs low.

Cheers,
Kait

Sephora Haul | August 2015

My hubby decided that since he didn't know what to get me for my birthday this year, that I could have a little shoppy-shop on Sephora. What a darling. 

 So I picked out some new goodies, a couple of things I already know I like & got a couple of freebies too!

 This little kit is quite exciting because it gives me the chance to try minis of five products. I've never tried any of these before, but who knows, I might find a product or two worth repurchasing!

I've had samples of both of these before & I absolutely love them both. This is literally the first perfume purchase I've ever made. Obviously these are still quite small, but I like to use different fragrances so I didn't want to commit to too much & have it not be properly loved.

The NARS minis are my Birthday present from Sephora. This is actually the first time I've received the gift, but I have to say, it's a pretty sweet one this year.  The Bite lipstick is one of the Canadian exclusive Maple Collection. How cool? It's my first full-sized Bite lipstick & I chose the sugared maple colour because I've got nothing like it. It's going to be so pretty come fall!

I love the Philosophy Purity Made Simple. This is my second little bottle of it & it's such a nice little face wash. The Caviar Repair heat spray is a sample that I received using the YOURGIFT code. There were a few choices, but I chose something that I would genuinely use. 

Have you purchased anything lately?

Cheers,
