Beauty, Bargains and Beyond

*I received these products for free but the opinions are my own. To mark World Mental Health Day I was kindly sent a box full of goodies to try out. World Mental Health Day is an international event that took place on 10th October 2022 to raise awareness about mental health and to encourage people to prioritise their wellbeing.
