July Empties

Here's what I've been using up in July:

Tata Harper Hydrating Floral Essence 15ml - this came in the recent Naturisimo Sensitive Soul Discovery Box. Lovely to use, really enjoyed it. Would maybe buy full size.

Weleda Pomegranate Creamy Body Wash 20ml* - I love all the Weleda body washes. They are nice to use, creamy and nourishing and come in nice scents. Will definitely buy when my stash reduces a bit.

Weleda Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil 10ml* - again a beautiful product from Weleda. Will buy full size when my body oil stash reduces a bit.

Rituals Ritual of Ayurveda Dry Body Oil 5ml - this came in a Latest in Beauty Box. It's teeny tiny. Seemed nice enough but there are other Rituals scents I prefer.

Aurelia Probiotic Skincare Firm and Revitalise Dry Body Oil 5ml - have tried this before and loved it. Full size is firmly on the wishlist!

bodhi & birch Rosemary Chi Bath & Shower Therapy 50ml - while not my favourite scent from bodhi & birch this is awakening and bracing and I enjoyed using it in my morning shower recently.

Dr Bronner's 18-in-1 Peppermint Pure Castile Soap 237ml - an absolute staple in my stash. I use it to clean my make up brushes and the bath! 

Givenchy Ready to Cleanse Cleansing Cream in Gel 5ml - this was a Feel Unique sample from their pick n mix range. Nice to use with a floral scent. Might or might not buy.

Sisley Suprema La Nuit 5ml - wow what cream! It costs £475 so will never be in my stash but it was lovely to try and left my skin looking luminous.

Acqua di Parma Arancia di Capri EdT 1.2ml - this was a Feel Unique sample pick. Zesty and refreshing I loved it. Full size is on the wishlist!

Skyn Iceland Glacial Facewash 20ml - which was a Latest in Beauty pick. With an Ocean fresh scent and foamy texture it was lovely to use. I'd maybe buy full size.

Anita Grant Organic Rose Body Oil 15ml - nice to use although I thought the neroli oil I used up last month slightly had the edge so wouldn't buy.

Chantecaillie Rose de Mai Cream 10ml - another pricy one so unlikely to buy. My skin loved this rose scented gel. Really beautiful.

Weleda Evening Primrose Revitalising Body Wash 20ml* - nice to use. Hadn't tried this scent before. Would maybe buy.

D’ALCHÉMY Micellar Cleansing Water 30ml** - I'm a huge fan of this lovely brand. See my review HERE. I'd buy this when my stash reduces.

Soap Daze Lemongrass & Patchouli Soap - I'm a sucker for nice soaps so couldn't resist their mini soaps. I've been using them at my wash hand basin and I'm sure they'll last a while. Would buy again however.

O&M Seven Day Miracle Moisture Masque 15ml - a brand I'd been wanting to try for a while. Love their shampoo & conditioners. This masque gave me two uses and left my hair nourished and healthy looking. Would buy full size.

Sisley Hair Rituel Precious Hair Care Oil 1ml - I just loved this! It made short work of frizz and left my hair looking glossy and healthy. Full size is firmly on the wishlist. Loved it.

Sisley Hair Rituel Revitalising Smoothing Shampoo 8ml - lovely to use but unlikely to buy as it's pricey. Was nice to try however.

D’ALCHÉMY Spectacular Hand Therapy 1.5ml** - which I received in July's Love Lula Beauty Box. It's a beauty and full size is firmly on the wishlist.

Sisley Eau Tropicale Moisturising Perfumed Body Lotion - wow this is gorgeous! With a coconut scent the rich lotion deeply nourishes and leaves the skin smelling glorious. Want!

Pureology Hydrate Shampoo & Conditioner 5ml sachets - I've used these before and my hair loves them. Will buy at some point.

The Holiday Edit

I've been really ruthless on deciding what products I'll take on holiday. I've picked products I really love and know work for me.

Skincare:

Skyn ICELAND Glacial Cleansing Cloths x 10 - I don't use wipes that often but sometimes I use them after a night out for a quick cleanse and they are a holiday must have.

Skin & Tonic STEAM CLEAN 15ml - probably my favourite cleansing balm this year. I love it's minty scent and how quickly it gets rid of daily grime and make up.

The Organic Pharmacy Rose Facial Cleansing Gel 10ml (yep I picked up another mini set!) See my initial thoughts on this lovely cleanser HERE.

I'm a huge bodhi & birch fan and I'm packing the mini Rosa Rosa trio - Clarifying Cleanser, Hydrating Toner and Daily Moisturiser. All of these are 5ml. See my review HERE.

Also being packed are 3 Antonia Burrell minis - Forest Dew, Mask Supreme 7-in-1 (review) and Creme Supreme (review) (all 10ml). See my post on the discovery kit HERE.

I love the shimmery Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse OR 10ml - for a light touch of summer shimmer.  My final item is a Dr Bronner's Lavender Shaving Gel sample.

Hair:

Philip Kingsley's Elasticizer 20ml - this came in the Latest in Beauty Awards Box (link). I'm a huge fan of this wonder product which makes my hair look healthy and glossy. It's a must have.  Also in there is another Philip Kingsley product Swimcap 50ml which can be used to protect your hair from the sun, wind, chlorine and sea water - it's a new try.

Another product from the #LIBawards box is COLAB Dry Shampoo in Monaco 50ml - I've been keen to try this after reading so many rave reviews.
