May Empties

Here are the products I've been using up in May. If a product is marked * I've been generously gifted it for review.

Lola's Apothecary Delicate Romance Balancing Body Polish 15ml which came in Naturisimo's Self Love Discovery Box. I loved this rose scented creamy polish so much I had to buy full size. Absolute perfection and a luxe treat.

Kerastase Nutritive Lait Vital 75ml which I received in a Feel Unique My Beauty Kit. I love it as it works. Nourishing the hair, leaving it silky soft and smooth. Just opened a new one.

Madara Moon Flower Tinting Fluid 50ml which is a staple in my stash. It gives the skin a light moisturising glow, evening out imperfections without the heavy feel of foundation. I've just opened a new one.

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream 75ml I adore this vanilla, pistachio and salted carmel scented fluffy cream. I just bought the Biggie Biggie Bum Bum Cream - so that should last a while. Love this cream!

JOIK Apple & Elderflower Foaming Hand Wash 250ml* I loved this moisturising foaming wash which had a delectable fruity scent. See my review HERE. One I'll definitely buy in future although it's a little on the pricey side for a hand wash.

Alterna Caviar Anti-Ageing Infinite Colour Hold Shampoo & Conditioner sachets, 7ml each. I received these in Feel Unique's pick 'n' mix. Luxurious and great to try. I preferred the conditioner from the duo. Might or might not buy.

Doers of London "it starts at the top" Shampoo 50ml which came in Mint Green's February starter kit. It was nice enough but unlikely to buy.

*Nudge Boutique Saffron Glow Facial Oil Serum 10ml which is one of my favourite new tries this year. See my review HERE. I will definitely buy this when my oil/serum stash reduces a bit as it's absolutely fantastic.

Tam Mason Mint & Cedarwood Hand Scrub 25ml I adore these beautiful hand scrubs. See my review HERE. I wasn't so keen on this aroma but will definitely buy the scrub again in a different scent (Rose & Patchouli).

Malin + Goetz Grapefruit Face Cleanser 10ml which was nice to try. It was pleasant to use and I've now tried it! Unlikely to buy.

Decleor Aromessence Neroli Bigarade Essential Oil Serum 0.7ml I used to use Decleor so it was nice to revisit. A teeny tiny free sample. Definitely one to add to my wishlist as I adore Neroli.

Latest Buys: Silvan Skincare, Ben & Anna's, Marley's Amsterdam, Bee Good, Feel Unique's Beauty Kit, Lovely Melts, Nicki's Aromatics, Herbs for Healing

I know, I know, I said I was having a leaner February. Things which have kept me going is having a few online spends! The way I look at it I'm not going into town shopping or going to work so have a little more free cash! Plus it makes me happy.


I took advantage of Love Lula's recent 10% off a £40 spend (I also had a fiver's worth of points). I'd spotted Silvan Skincare's new line of face creams and their Balance Face Cream spoke to me! It's formulated for oily and combo skins (and smells of exotic Ylang Ylang. I can see it's going to be a firm favourite (review to come). I'd never tried one of Ben & Anna's cardboard tubes of natural deodorant before so picked up one in their Persian Lime scent (I'm having a few issues with the tube - which I think could be slightly modified) but the product is superb (again, a review to come). The third item I bought is new brand at Love Lula - Marley's Amsterdam Sustainable Shampoo Beer & Incense - these are shampoo flakes which you mix with water to create shampoo & packaged in easily recyclable packaging. Genius! 


A friend on instagram asked for a recommendation of a new exfoliator. I suggested Bee Good, as I'd always enjoyed their one, you know the drill, I spotted their Hand & Body Wash with Warm Fig & Vanilla and had to snap one up! It's absolutely beautiful and has a scent which lingers, the wash lathers well, feels silky and leaves the body and hands refreshed and clean. I like this a lot.

I hadn't had a Beauty Kit from Feel Unique for ages. They were offering it for £9.95 plus p&p (instead of £12.95 plus p&p) for a limited period and so I jumped right in there. Really pleased with my picks! You also get the postage back as a voucher code for your next purchase which makes the kit excellent value (the trial sizes are a good size). I chose a duo from Kerastase, a generous Medik8 mini, Clinique's cult Take the Day off and a new Caudalie cream.


I picked up a handful of melts from Lovely Melts and the Sanctuary Orange one is identical to the evocative aroma of The Sanctuary products - it's absolutely lovely.



A little return order for Nicki's Aromatics Soy Wax Melts which are gorgeous! See the shop which is Glasgow based HERE. The melts (and candles) are lovingly hand poured using essential oils and soy wax.


The power of socials! I spotted Herbs for Healing on Saskia's Flower Essences instagram and went to investigate. I spotted the lovely collab and had to have one! It smells instantly relaxing and I'm looking forward to trying the Herbs for Healing Bath Oil with Saskia's Breathe Deep Seek Peace Flower Essence. Look out for that review!

Travel Treats Selection

You can see my birthday swap from my friend Julie HERE. She gave me a box of Travel Treats which I'm showing you now in this post. It's jam-packed!




There's a load of travel size sachets which will be great for my next holiday. Including hair goodies from Kerastase, Ojon and rahua. Dr Bronner's peppermint pure castile soap is my product and scent of choice for cleaning my make up brushes. There is also a cute mirror, some Quintessentially English bath salts, Murad Oil Control Mattifier sachets and a Kiehl's Line Reducer concentrate sachet.


I was really pleased to receive Aromatherapy Associates Instant Inner Strength Roll on which helps in times of stress and their Inner Strength Bath Oil (my fav AA bath oil scent!). There is also a Deep Relax Balm which helps to relax and calm. I already love Jurlique's Rose Love Balm and Nuxe's Huile Prodigieuse.


DHC Deep Cleansing Oil, Kiehl's Nashi Blossom & Grapefruit Body Cleanser (I've got the perfume of this scent - see my review of it HERE), Kiehl's Creme de Corps, Gardener's Hand Healer, Nuxe's Youth Radiance Revealing Cream and a Cowshed Lippy Cow Lip Balm.


balance me's latest Revitalising Hand & Body Wash, Hotel Chocolate's Ti Jardin Conditioning Body Butter (this smells lush), my favourite (and now discontinued) Neom Complete Bliss Hand Cream review HERE and my essential Therapie Himalayan Detox Salts review HERE.


Korres Citrus Shower Gel, Little Body Milk and a Calendula Softening Soap. 


Dior Addict Lip Colour in Rose Nuisette which is a pretty shimmery shade - ideal with a tan!

Thanks again Julie. Really love everything you picked for me!

A Closer Look: Leave in Conditioners, Treatments & Oils


I do love my hair products!  Here's what is currently in my stash of Leave-in Conditioners, Treatments and Oils.

Palmers Coconut Oil Formula Strong Roots 150ml - this is great for refreshing the hair and scalp, to soothe tightness and hair prone to dryness or to refresh the hair between shampoos. 

Argan Dew Miraculous Argan Oil Daily Hair Treatment 3.5ml sachet* - a fantastic treatment oil which you use prior to blow drying. It leaves the hair shiny, healthy and frizz free.

Hairy Jayne Pre-Shampoo Treatment Oil 30ml - I like to use this as an overnight treatment shampooing out in the morning.  See my initial thoughts here.

Philip B Katira Hair Masque 60ml - this masque makes my hair look amazing. Like I've just stepped out the hairdressers - frizz free and super bouncy and shiny. Love it!

Josh Wood Radiant Shine Hair Treatment Oil 28ml - this is a newish purchase. It smells gorgeous, is rich and super moisturising and leaves the hair looking silky soft and in great condition. I like to use this as an intensive treatment or tame frizzy bits of hair after blowdrying. 

John Masters Organics Rose & Apricot Hair Milk 118ml - I adore this! See my review here.

John Masters Organics Citrus & Neroli Detangler 30ml
- I've been using this on and off for years. It just does what it says and leaves the hair smooth and silky soft as well as smelling nice.

Palmers Coconut Oil Formula Replenishing Hair Milk 250ml - this smells of coconuts yum! See my initial thoughts here.

Yarok Feed Your Youth Hair & Scalp Serum 1oz* - love this pre-shampoo treatment and love that you can also add it to your conditioner for an added boost. See my full review here.


Yarok Feed Your Ends Leave In Conditioner 2oz - a lightweight mist which conditions your ends. This featured in my Summer Saviours - see here.

Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment 10ml* - this is one I've used for while and always seem to come back to. Love it's scent.  See my review here.

BiOrganics Salon Secrets Elixir Hair Perfecting Oil 12ml - a natural oil which softens, smooths, repairs and leaves the hair looking healthy.  Can be used before and after blowdrying.  Would like to try more from this brand.

Leonor Greyl Huile de Palme 25ml - this came in the much loved Boudoir Privee Box. In fact I loved it so much I ended up with about 6 or 7 via swaps! See my review here.

Kerastase Elixir Ultime 50ml - I got this as a freebie and it's really nice to use. Leaves the hair soft, frizz free and shiny. Can be used as a pre-shampoo treatment or to tame flyaways.

Holy Lama Hair Oil 30ml - this came in a cute little set in July's Souk Souk box. I've not tried it yet! But plan to soon.

The Argan Company Argan Oil 30ml* - I won this in a twitter competition. Love how versatile it is - use it on your hair, face, hands, cuticles and body. I love a multi-purpose product.

Shopping my Stash #16


Here's what I've been reaching for this week -

The London Oil Company After Hours Sensual Massage Oil 10ml - I love how you can buy sample type sizes before buying full size.  This is a lovely thickish oil scented with jasmine, sweet orange, cedarwood, patchouli and ylang ylang.  A 10ml sample retails at £4.00.

Melvita Eau Florale de Rose Flower Water 26ml - Nardine at Live..Laugh..Love sent me this from her Latest in Beauty box as she doesn't like rose scents - well it's gorgeous and I'm really enjoying using it.

August Empties


It's time for August empties!

Naked ooh la la creamy bliss Coco de Mer Body Wash 250ml - love this body wash scented with coconut and passionflower scent.  I'll definitely pick this up again and again.  You can see my review here.

Miller Harris Citron Citron Body Lotion 60ml - I got this from What's in my Handbag along with a vial of the scent.  Absolutely loved this and would re-purchase.  #1 of my body lotion project pan.

Clarins Eau Ressourcante Body Cream 200ml - Adore this rich body cream.  I'll definitely buy it again.  Another project pan product.

Freyaluna Stop and Smell the Roses Bath & Body Oil - this came from my Freyaluna Selection Box - loved it would buy full size.

Freyaluna Regain your Balance Facial Tonic - another from my selection box.  I've since bought full size.  You can read my review here.

Antipodes Rejoice Light Facial Day Cream 5ml sachet - this came in an Amarya box.  Lovely cream but I hated the scent so wouldn't purchase.

Suti Cleanse Balm Cleanser sample - love this.  Reviewed it here.  Would buy full size.

L'Occitane Fresh Face Water 100ml - this was a lovely product to use.  Reviewed it here.  Unsure if I'd re-purchase at full price but if I saw it in the sale again I'd snap it up.

PG Embrace EDP sample vial - lovely perfume.  You can read my review here.  Patricia actually sent me a full size bottle after my review which I thought was so kind and generous.  One of my current favourites.

Lush Vanilla Dee-lite Body Lotion sample - love this.  Will definitely buy full size at some point.

NEOM Sumptuous Rose & Neroli Room Mist vial - this was from Amarya box and I loved it.  Would love to buy the full size.

Noble Isle Summer Rising Bath & Shower Gel 30ml x 2 - one of my favourite shower gels of the moment.  Will definitely pick up the full size at some point.

Lancome Hydra Zen Nuit 15ml - lovely night cream.  Got one in my recent Lancome GWP.

Palmers Cocoa Butter Daily Cleansing Gel 150ml - quite liked this, took ages to finish though.  Unsure if I'd re-purchase.

NEOM Tranquility Bath Oil 5ml - loved this little bath oil.  Very relaxing.  Would definitely buy full size.

Miller Harris La Fumee EDP vial - this was lovely with woods and incense.  I'd maybe consider buying it but it is quite expensive.  If you sign up to the Miller Harris newsletter they will send you out sample vials of their newest launches.

Kerastase Bain Satin 1 Shampoo 250ml - the shampoo I always come back to because my hair loves it.  You can see my review here.

Vaseline Aloe Fresh Deodorant - a staple which works for me.

Kiehl's Creme de Corps 5ml sachet - lovely, would definitely purchase full size.

L'Occitane Verbena Sorbet Body Ice Gel 6ml sachet - loved trying this, be fab on a hot day chilled in the fridge.  A limited edition so will not be around for long...would love to purchase but I don't need any body lotions.  

Snowberry trio of sachets 3 x 3ml - Intensive Renewal Face Serum, Night Defence Night Cream and Rich Day Cream - nice to use but doubt if I'd purchase as I didn't love the scents.

Pure Thoughts Yoghurt & Green Clay Face Mask - single use sachet - will purchase at some point really nice and effective product.

Elemental Herbology Eye Elixir 1ml sachet - nice enough but probably wouldn't purchase due to liking the Elemis Absolute Eye Serum too much plus as a 1ml sample not much product to get a good enough idea if it's doing anything. I prefer serums or gel texture in an eye cream.

Aloe Vera+Vitamin E Sheet Mask - love sheet masks got a few in store but would buy again.

Bodhi Ylang Ylang Incensa Bath & Shower Therapy 50ml - loved using this in the bath - made great bubbles and the scent is gorgeous.  You can read my review here.  I want to try some of the other scents in the range.

Eve Lom Cleanser Sachet 5ml - enjoyed using this cleanser.  The original hot cloth cleanser and still one of the best.  I have another sachet to use up. Would maybe buy a full size.  I got about 6 or 7 uses out of this one sachet.

Lancome Nutrix Royal Mains Hand Cream 100ml - I like to get every last drop out of every tube!  Love this hand cream.  Have already stocked up in a recent GWP deal.

NEOM Refresh Bath Oil 5ml - this was lovely to use on the recent hot and sticky days in a cool bath - very refreshing.  Would love the full size.

Creme de la Mer the Moisturising Soft Cream mini pot - gorgeous.  Love Creme de la Mer - doing a project pan with moisturisers to buy one of the CDLM ones!  But I reckon it will take me a year (at least) to do it!

June Empties


Here are my June empties:

Khiel's Hand Salve - got this in the Advent Calendar, smells of eucalyptus.  Enjoyed using it but unsure if I'd re-purchase though it worked really well.

Elemis Absolute Eye Serum - love this eye care product - have already bought another - it just works.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Body Cream - love this, have got a few of these from swaps and beauty boxes.  I reviewed the body cream here.

Kerastase Lait Vital 1 Conditioner - love Kerastase products so will probably buy this again as it lasts for ages.

Armani Luminous Silk Foundation sample pot - a great foundation will probably buy again at some point.

Balance Me Rose Otto Body Wash - one of my favourites, I'm on my last one.. sob.  I'd buy again.

Tropic Skin Revive Firming Nourishing Cream - I got this in a swap.  Loved it.  Would probably purchase it again in winter time as its a fairly rich cream and too heavy for my skin now.

Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser - mini sample - got a few uses of this.  Nice product but expensive to buy.

Bamford Geranium Bath Oil x 2 - One of my favourite bath oils - only got two left now so will probably buy full size at some point.

Garnier Fresh Essentials Eye Make Up Remover - a good budget buy - would re-purchase.

L'Occitane Desert Rose Ultra-Rich Body Cream sachet - really fab cream, very rich and smells good.  Have a full size tin of this still to use.  L'Occitane Desert Rose Hand Cream - loved this cream - it was a magazine freebie.  Have another of these to use.  L'Occitane Divine Cream mini pot - really loved using this.  Looking for it in swaps/on ebay at the moment.  I also used a 1ml sachet of this too.  L'Occitane Divine Eyes - 1ml sachet - lovely.  Would consider purchasing in the future.  L'Occitane Baume des Yeux Eye Balm - 1ml sachet - enjoyed using this, would perhaps purchase.

Gielly Green Hand and Body Wash and Hand and Body Lotion - Loved these.  You can see my review here.

Sanctuary Hand Wash - nice hand wash and will probably pick this up again.

L'Oreal Everpure Shampoo and Conditioner sachet - really liked using these and would consider purchasing full size.

Ro's Argan Body Conditioner from Lush.  I bought this with Xmas voucher.  A beautiful rose scented product.  I'd probably re-purchase but it is quite pricey.  You can read my review here.

Vaseline Aloe Fresh deodorant - a staple and this one works for me.

Laura Mercier Almond Coconut Milk Body Souffle Cream - love all Laura Mercier body lotions this is gorgeous, lightly scented with coconut and almond. Yum.

Iroisie Ultimate BB Cream sample sachet - this was from the latest Amarya box.  I struggled with this - didn't like the texture and I found it hard to spread on my skin.  So wouldn't purchase.

Japan Rose Bath salts - these were really nice - big pink salts which turned the bathwater pale pink.  Thanks Evelyn!

This Works Enjoy Multi-Tasking Lotion - I quite enjoyed using this lotion but wouldn't re-purchase as there are other lotions I prefer.

Pukka Radiance Serum 10ml and Pukka Deep Moisture Day Cream 10ml - I quite enjoyed using these products but I am unsure if I'd re-purchase.  The day cream was highly scented which put me off a bit.

YSL Waterproof Eye Pencil in simmering burgundy - absolutely love this although Avon Supershock Gel Eyeliner in Blackberry is a good dupe.  Will probably buy again.

Antonia Burrell Natural Glow Cleansing Oil - I didn't like the scent of this, it was too overpowering and it made my skin feel dry after use so wouldn't re-purchase.  Luckily this was just a trial size which cost £2.95.

Prada Candy Body Lotion - got this in my Xmas box set.  Nice to use but would prefer to save up for another bottle of perfume rather than buy the body lotion.

Aveda Stress-Fix Soaking Salts - love these, make you feel totally relaxed and great after a hard day.  Will definitely buy these again though I wish they were a bit cheaper!

Lancome Hydra Zen Neurocalm Soothing Anti-Stress Moisturiser - nice product quite rich so I mainly used it at night.  Probably wouldn't purchase full size as its not really suited to my skin type.

Apivita Express Beauty Mask with grape - bought this from ebay.  Nice product.  See M&S now selling them online/instore so will probably pick this up again and I want to try the honey one.

RMK Cleansing Oil sachet - love this, got three uses from the sachet.  Will purchase this once I trawl through my numerous cleansers.

Pure Fiji Hydrating Body Lotion - lovely coconut scent.  Nice lotion to use but prefer the body oil in the range which came in Joliebox.
