A Little Bit of You with Sam

Okay… Christmas just got VERY exciting. 👀🎄

I got to experience and open the new Tropic Advent Calendar at the Glammies this weekend and honestly… I have THOUGHTS. 😂

This year they’ve gone BIG.

✨ 24 days of beauty
✨ A hidden 25th surprise
✨ Some products that have never been seen before
✨ And inspired by the Tropic Pâtisserie

Think gorgeous chocolate and patisserie scents, beautiful little surprises and that lovely feeling of having something to look forward to every day in December. 🍫🥮🎄

And then I started thinking about what this could actually feel like…

Carving out just a moment of calm each day throughout December.

Just you, a warm drink in your hand, maybe still cosy in your pyjamas. ☕️

You take a breath, let the stresses of the day disappear for a moment… and open your drawer of the day.

What little indulgent treat is waiting for you? 👀

No shopping.
No wrapping.
No rushing around looking after everyone else.

Just a few minutes that are yours.

A little bit of you. ❤️

Now, £299 is definitely not a little impulse-buy Advent Calendar! 😂

But there’s £668 worth of beauty inside, and having actually seen what’s behind those drawers, I can see why they’ve made this one such a special Christmas experience.

You can pre-order now for November delivery, and Clearpay is available if you’d rather spread the cost.

🎄 A little bit of Christmas. A little bit of you. ❤️

Birmingham, I’m here! 👀✨

Tomorrow is the Glammies and I’m SO excited to see what Tropic has been dreaming up for Christmas this year. 🎄🌿

I’ve got a feeling there are going to be some very exciting reveals… 👀

I’ll be taking you along for the ride, so keep an eye out for what I find! 😂

I bought Lashful for my lashes… and somehow ended up with eyebrows. 😂

I’ve shared my eyebrow journey because I’m genuinely a little bit obsessed with the difference.

And then a customer sent me her own result and said:

“I never had eyebrows… but I have EYEBROWS NOW!” 😂

That’s the kind of feedback I love. Real women, real experiences, and no pretending everyone’s going to get exactly the same result.

If longer lashes or fuller brows are something you’ve been thinking about, there’s also a little price heads-up:

Lashful is currently £38, but the introductory price ends Sunday 13th September and it goes to £48.

So if you’ve been thinking about trying it, now’s the time to save the £10.

I think we’ve been asking deodorant to do one job for far too long…

Keep us from smelling! 😂

But what about the skin underneath?

Tropic’s new fully refillable deodorant launches today at 10am, and I’m really intrigued by this one.

It’s a glide-on stick with niacinamide, panthenol and shea butter to brighten, soothe and nourish underarm skin.

And then there are plant enzymes and magnesium to tackle odour at the source.

I’ll be honest — I haven’t tried this one yet. I’m still using the Tropic cream and I’m very happy with it.

But I trust Tropic, I like the ingredients they use, and with the hot weather we’ve been having, the thought of something that helps keep odour at bay while also looking after my skin?

Yes please. 🙌

I’ll be buying one myself.

Now I just need to decide…

🌿 Gingergrass & Lime
🍊 Blood Orange & Cedar
Or both?

Which one would you choose?

New from Tropic today… and this isn’t just another deodorant.

Their first fully refillable deodorant launches at 10am, and I really like the thinking behind it.

Because yes, we want deodorant to tackle odour.

But I’m also quite happy to see skincare ingredients being used on the skin underneath.

This glide-on stick contains niacinamide, panthenol and shea butter to brighten, soothe and nourish underarm skin, alongside plant enzymes and magnesium to tackle odour at the source.

I’ve not tried this one yet, so I’m not going to give you a made-up review! 😂

I’m currently using the Tropic cream and I’m happy with mine.

But I trust Tropic, I like the ingredients they’ve chosen and, after the hot weather we’ve been having, I’m very interested in something that helps me feel confident I won’t smell while also caring for my skin.

So I’m buying one.

Now comes the difficult bit…

🌿 Gingergrass & Lime?
🍊 Blood Orange & Cedar?
Or one of each?

Which would you choose?

Fuelled by coffee, eye masks and a very good weekend! 😂

We walked miles, drank some lovely w**e, had lots of fresh air and definitely didn’t get as much sleep as I would have liked.

So yes… my eyes were showing it!

A coffee and my Tropic eye gels were very welcome this morning. 😂

But you know what?

I don’t mind looking a little tired when I know I’ve had a brilliant weekend.

I’m not trying to look 25.

I just want my skin to look fresh, healthy and cared for — even when life has been a little bit… blegh.

And actually, I think that’s what balance looks like to me.

A good weekend. A little tired. A bit of self-investment afterwards. And back to real life tomorrow.

Anyone else need a little eye-mask rescue after a weekend away?

Ah this is sweet. Tropic have just landed a lovely little extra for you. Either 3 or 6 of the serums/oils in mini form.

I always travel with a mini.. I keep the bottles and top up from my bigger collection. It’s just enough for trips away and takes less room in the luggage.

It’s also a great opportunity to try something you might not have tried before.

My top 5 are: Rainforest Dew, Glowberry, elixir, supergreens, Fruit smooth …. What’s yours

Oh best tell you the details 😂
3 minus when you spend £80+ or 6 with £120+.
