Walden Natural Perfumes Rollerball Set

-
Walden Natural Perfumes was inspired by the work of an American essayist, poet & philosopher Hendry David Thoreau. Each perfume gets its name from snippets from his book Walden, which I think is a fab way to name them.  All the perfumes are handmade in small batches using the best quality natural absolutes, resins and essential oils.

I was first introduced to Walden Perfumes back in the February Love Lula Beauty Box. I enjoyed the 10ml sample of 'A Gentle Rain' and really wanted to try some of the other perfumes from the brand. Finding it difficult to decide on which one to try... I got them all! Walden Natural Perfumes Rollerball Set* (£20) contains all 7 perfumes in 2ml rollerball bottles, which come in a lovely black drawstring pouch.
A Gentle Rain - is a luxurious fragrance that grows with a blend of oak moss, labdanum and patchouli.A Little Star-Dust - is a sumptuous bouquet of Ylang Ylang, Iris and Jasmine enriched with hints of creamy Amyris and exotic Tonka Bean.Two Eternities - is a garland of Forest Flowers including Wild Roses, Jasmine and Iris floating above a fresh Citrus base of Bergamot and Sweet Orange Oil.A Different Drummer - opens with a rich blast of Tobacco followed by peppery Cedarwood and Patchouli to finish with creamy hints of Amyris, Vanilla and Tonka Bean.The Solid Earth - has a fresh petitgrain opening followed by a heart of vetiver and patchouli. The dry down is creamy amyris with hints of black pepper.Castles in the Air - is a fresh, intoxicating blend of Citrus with a hint of tropical flowers and lavender.See the Moonlight - is an intoxicating Chypre fragrance that opens with fresh Bergamot followed by a heart of Jasmine and hints of Rose. The finish is luxurious Sandalwood and exotic Ambrette Seed.


Each scent lasted quite well on my skin. I found the rollerball makes application quick and easy, and the size is perfect to pop in my pocket or bag for reapplying throughout the day if needed.



The strongest scents for me were 'A Gentle Rain' and 'A Different Drummer'. Although both nice, they are the most masculine of the perfumes, so would depend greatly on what mood I was in on a particular day if I would wear them that often or not. My favourites however out of these perfumes are 'Castles in the Air' and 'Two Eternities'...most likely due to the citrus notes, as I love fruity scents! 

Overall its a great little set to trial all the scents at once. I would say that there is definitely a scent for everyone in this collection. Have you tried any Walden Perfumes?

It has been ages since I've bought a Look Fantastic Beauty Box but after seeing some spoiler pictures on Facebook I decided to use my glossy credits to get this months box. Normally the box cost £15 including postage, with my glossy credits it took the price down a little to £9.35. The box this month is has a lovely white and blue design on top with a pinky purple base, which I will be keeping and reusing. It also comes with a copy of the latest Elle Magazine. From Rituals is Cherry Blossom & Rice Milk Soothing Hand Balm  70ml (£9.50)- a lovely floral lotion made with Shea Butter and Organic Rice Milk, the lotion replenishes and rejuvenates hands. Rituals are always a welcome brand I enjoy getting in boxes. Eos Lip Balm  7g (£6.50) in Strawberry Sorbet - Not actually a brand I've used before, but a handy balm to have in the makeup bag. Probably not something I would take out and about with me as I find the shape awkward for travel, I prefer small stick balms. This ba

Great weather calls for great sun protection with Alteya Orgaincs

I'm loving the great weather we've been having so far this week....has summer finally arrived!? With temperatures up to 30 degrees in Scotland and soaring up to 38 in parts of England by Thursday, sun protection is a MUST if you are planning to leave your house even if all you do is sit in your garden. Really you should be using an SPF product daily regardless of the weather...yes even if its raining! As an outdoor worker (postwoman) a good SPF is top of my list all year round but especially at this time of year! Alteya Organics Whole Body Sunscreen * (£13.40 for 90ml) is enriched with emollient botanical butters and oils to hydrate the skin and protect against damaging UVA and UVB sun rays which cause sunburn and premature aging. So what is SPF and why do we need it? SPF or sun protection factor measures the level of protection a product will give you and how much longer it will take your skin to burn when wearing sunscreen vs not wearing sunscreen.

My skin is quite prone to spots and blemishes so I really wanted to find a product that would help to control breakouts and reduce the redness I have. I've used Sukin products before but never knew they had a blemish control range until recently. The  Sukin Blemish Control Kit * (£19.95) contains 4 products to help calm and clear the skin, three are 50ml and one is 15ml so decent sized samples, and handy for travelling with. Clearing Facial Wash purifies the skin while removing dirt and impurities with Quince and Pomegranate. Pore Perfecting Toner refines and refreshes the skin with Eucalyptus, Tea Tree and Mint. Spot Banishing Gel helps to fight breakouts with Willowherb, Salicylic Acid and Eculyptus, while the  Oil Free Moisturiser clarifies and balances the skin with Willowherb, Quince and Moringa. Willowherb is said to fight the causes of blemishes in just 30 minutes! And while I didn't see a huge improvement that quickly, I did notice a big difference withi
