SPOTLIGHT: Urban Rituelle Turkish Rose and Vanilla...

Several months ago, I had the thrill and delight of winning the fabulous Urban Rituelle giveaway held by darling Kate from Seducedbybeauty. (Note: If you're not already following award-winning Kate, then you're truly missing out on a fantastic read, and viewing down-to-earth and informative videos). I only ever enter giveaways when I really REALLY want to win the prize - I was lusting after this SO badly, and couldn't believe my luck when I found out I'd won (thank you again Kate for seeking me out!).

And here's what arrived on my doorstep a few days later...


The prize pack included a catalogue of all the products, and I so appreciated the personal congratulatory note from Team Urban Rituelle . I was already familiar with this range (see pics at the bottom) which is why I had my fingers and toes crossed when entering the comp! Sigh...as these photos show, the presentation of each and every item is exquisite, delicately feminine and tres elegant...


The bath and shower gel is divine, and I'll be including a full review of  it in Part 5 of my CONFESSIONS: of a Body Washaholic series (coming soon)...


I'm such a sucker for beautiful hand creams - I recently discovered an amazingly cheap and cheerful brand, but that hasn't stopped me from indulging in the pampering pleasure of a high-end magnificently moisturisng and fragrant formula such as this. I will keep it next to my bed for special treats because I want it to last for many many months...


And the surprise of the bunch? This perfume oil - mmmm so magnificently blended and playfully spicy, and how pretty is the roller ball wand, plus it's the perfect size for my handbag. I'll shortly be reviewing this in detail in the next installment of my SPOTLIGHT: Winter Fragrances...


I already had the candle in my collection, thanks to a surprise gift from the generous and loving Hissycat Krissy (this belle knows what I like), and believe me I'm burning it sparingly. The fragrance isn't as pronounced as it is in the other products, but it still turns my blogging headquarters into a place I don't want to leave...


And my beloved 86 years young Mama surprised me with the super softening and magically fragrant lotion a while back (I didn't know she even knew about this brand!). There's no need for the perfume oil once this has hydrated my bod...


So now I have the whole set - am I a spoilt gal or what? A million thankyous to Kate & Urban Rituelle for the opportunity to try more of this delicious range 

Have you tried any Urban Rituelle products? Which delectable fragrance from their range is your favourite?

Take care of you,

  1. Urban Rituelle is one of my most favourite brands since I live so close to their warehouse, I own at least 30% off their product range hehe (still expanding!). I don't actually have anything from the Turkish rose range as of yet but I'm awfully tempted now!!
    My favourite favourite scent is their mango milk products! I love layering the scent, I start with the body scrub, then body lotion then the fragrance mist. I adore it so much especially in winter when I need a hit of summer :)) I also love their Cotton Candy & Pomegranate & Ginger Apple scents oh and the creative candle is amazing. Ok, I love everything ;)

    I'm glad you're loving everything! Congrats on the win xo

    1. Mr dear themissus, yet another joyful and delightfully entertaining comment from you - thanks so much hon, it truly adds to the pleasure of my win. Gosh I'm not sure if living so close is a huge bonus or a hazard, but I'm leaning towards the plus side ha ha - you're a lucky gal ♡ Mango milk? How yummy that sounds, I adore mango fragrance if it's done well, so that's on my wish list for sure ♡

  5. Been a lover of Urban Rituelle for quite a few years (they've certainly grown in the last two years!) as they are only a short distance from me and I can never resist dropping into their store, especially when the sales are on! And their staff are always so friendly and helpful.

    What a great blog post with so many great photos and Turkish Rose isn't a fragrance I've ever tried, but after reading this, I'll be getting some next time!

She sent it to me in a swap many moons ago and I am still enjoying it. I love applying it at night after my shower......just seems to be the perfect scent for relaxing night time.
