October Empties

I'm not going to use anything else up this month - I think this must be my smallest amount of empties...ever!

Omorovicza Refining Facial Polish 30ml - I'm a huge fan of this exfoliator. I think I've got another in my stash. Would buy full size. 

Butter Bar Soapery Soothe Bath Salts 40g - which I received in my October Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box (link) which was beautiful. It made for a relaxing soak and had little lavender flowers combined within the salts. Full size is on the wishlist!

Organic House Clean & Bright Morning Cleanser 30ml* - which I liked to use for my morning shower. See my review HERE. I was sad to finish this and will add to my buy-again list.

Sisley Hair Rituel Revitalising Straightening Shampoo 8ml - which came in my October Beauty Subscription. I really liked this (it worked) and is one to save up for!

This duo from Rahua Voluminous shampoo 22ml and Voluminous conditioner 22ml are my favourites from the brand (I first received them as samples in various beauty boxes). It was nice to revisit and I may buy full sizes at some point.

Odacite Black Mint Cleanser 30ml - I absolutely adore this charcoal based cleanser (I've got a activated charcoal obsession just now). See my review HERE. I've got another of this size to use up but will buy full size soon.

Beatitude Joy Bath Oil 10ml* - I adore the scent Joy by Beatitude. It's just such a happy and uplifting scent. See my mini review HERE.

Shopping My Stash #100

My last #ShoppingMyStash was way back in March! See HERE. I'm on a low-buy June so expect a Stash Shopping post every week. Here's what I've been reaching for lately:

From Geo Mitchell is a single use sachet of their Relax Naturally Natural Bath Salts** which were lovely to use. You can pick up a full size jar for a very reasonable £14.50 HERE.  These salts are perfect to use to relax and unwind before bed. Get 15% off your first order with SANDRA15.

I just adore anything by de Mamiel and Rosey Lip Balm was one of the first things I tried (along with the amazing seasonal oils). See my review HERE.

Esse Probiotic Skincare's Cocoa Exfoliator* is amazing and one of my favourite new tries this year. See my recent review HERE.

Organic House is a beautiful brand (I've a few of their products up for review soon). Clean & Calm Hot Cloth Cleanser** is very effective and makes cleansing into a ritual. See my review HERE.

From Love Lula I've had the pleasure of trying out Alchemy Oils Amla Hair Rescue* (30ml travel size - £9). I already love their Grapefruit Hair Remedy - see my review HERE.  This one is a combination of rich oils which treat and care for thicker coarser hair types (for me it works best as a treatment oil leaving on for 30 minutes or overnight before shampooing and conditioning).

My final pick is much loved BYBI Beauty Babe Balm which I just adore! See my review HERE.

Shopping my Stash #95

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

From Skin Shop I've been testing out their Xmas Spice Rub Boswellia & Commiphora Joint Rub* which is great for reducing pain and inflammation caused by arthritis and stiff joints. I've got a problem with one of my knees (after a fall a few years ago) and I've found this cream really does help with the pain. It costs £9.95 for 100ml and you can pick it up HERE.

This Lemon & Lime Lip Balm from Minyara is just fab! If you want one hurry as there are only a few left in the shop currently. It deeply nourishes the lips and the lemon & lime flavour gives it a zesty taste. Made with local beeswax, sweet almond oil, cocoa butter and essential oils.

SkinOwl's Geranium Beauty Drops are just fantastic (I received them from my friend Julie as a gift) and I definitely want to try more from the range. They are suitable for combination, dehydrated, dull and lacklustre skin. The drops brighten, nourish and revitalise adding radiance and glow. I either use them alone or put a few drops in my moisturiser.  Love!

I've been testing out a few of the new products from ishga (I'm already a huge fan of the brand and you can see my previous review of a selection of their skincare HERE).

ishga organic seaweed body wash (£17.50 - 250ml)* makes for an invigorating and uplifting morning shower. The wash is made with an organic coconut oil base which hydrates and nourishes the skin along with moisturising and bio-degradable oil extracted from the palm fruit kernel and fruit acids which creates an all natural foam. The essential oils used are lemongrass, juniper berry, geranium and lavender.

My skin is absolutely loving ishga organic invigorating body oil (£35 - 100ml)* which deeply nourishes and moisturises. Made with sustainably sourced Scottish seaweed which contains Vitamins A, C and E along with trace elements and amino acids. The oil firms, regenerates, detoxifies and nourishes. It can also help to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Organic House Relax & Sleep Room Spray (£17 - 30ml)* is just instantly soothing and calming. It's perfect to help you drop off to sleep but also great for calming frazzled nerves in the run up to Christmas. The blend is relaxing and is perfect to help you unwind. 100% Organic Flower Waters are blended with essential oils of Lavender and Vetiver.

Organic House: Clean & Calm Hot Cloth Cleanser

I've been testing out new to me brand Organic House which you can buy directly or from Not on the High Street.  The brand is artisan, products are created in small batches in the UK using high quality organic ingredients. Their "formulas are put together thoughtfully with great attention to detail to create products that are safe, a pleasure to use and effective in solving problems".

Essential oils are used for their therapeutic benefits and to beautifully scent the products, natural butters, vegetable and fruit oils are anti-inflammatory and soothing. Organic House products are free from parabens, synthetic fragrances, mineral oils, silicones, sulphates, propylene glycol, phthalates, GMO, PEGs, TEA and DEA.

I was sent a gorgeous box of goodies - reviews will be forthcoming! Today I'm reviewing the Clean & Calm Hot Cloth Cleanser 30ml* which is 95% organic. This size cleanser comes in the Organic House Glow Facial Gift Set and in the Organic House Complete Face Care Gift Set. Alternatively, pick it up full size (£34 - 60g).

The packaging is recyclable with simple clean lines.

Clean & Calm Hot Cloth Cleanser* with coconut oil, lavender and rosemary is a real treat for the skin and senses. It makes cleansing into a welcome ritual to look forward to.

Coconut oil is an antioxidant and helps with nourishing and anti-ageing while Shea Butter is healing. Castor oil is a good natural cleanser. Camellia oil revitalises and cleanses deeply.

This gentle cleanser effectively removes daily grime and make up including waterproof mascara. It leaves the skin feeling clean and comfortable. 

To use: Apply a small amount using the spatula provided massaging gently onto the face and neck, before removing with the warmed damp muslin cloth.

The Hot Cloth Cleanser is lovely to use, smells gorgeous and leaves the skin feeling clean, radiant and revitalised.
