Molton Brown...

I never tried Molton Brown until recently....& now I'm wanting everything in their shop! I'm now keeping my eye out for their scented candles - so next time I'm shopping, I'll try & pick one up! 


They seem to have a wide variety of products on their site, like soaps, shampoos, men's fragrances, lotions & lots more. I thought the women's travel size toiletry kit was perfect for you women who are always on the go!

Have you tried their products? If so, what?

Here's my set below. I got the NEW Rok Mint soothing hand lotion & the Rok Mint liquid hand wash. They both smell really great! You can get Molton Brown here or any high end shop for that matter.   


They're a little pricey, but definitely good quality + you can impress your guests by having these in your guest bedroom! That's what I'd do if I had a guest room here in the city...

However, for me, this luxurious lotion & wash will be kept in our kitchen!
