June Empties

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

Dr Dennis Gross Hyaluronic Marine Oil Free Moisture Cushion 15ml which was a sea scented light gel cream and seemed perfect for my combination skin. Very nice. Would maybe buy.

Organic Trevarno Lavender & Geranium Cleansing Oil 5ml which was lovely to use. I'll definitely buy full size when my stash reduces a bit. 

Bodhi & Birch Lemon Water Hydrosol 15ml* I was part of the focus group for the new #SuperfoodsSeries and totally fell for this beauty. See my review HERE. I've just opened a full size I was gifted for taking part in the group. Totally lush. 

Enchanted Plants Blossom Hydrating Facial Mist 100ml which I totally fell head over heels for. See my review HERE. Will definitely buy again.

001 Pure Lavender Hydrosol Toner 100ml* which was lovely to use. See my review HERE.

Geo Mitchell Relax Bath Salts (one use sample)* these were lovely and I'd consider buying full size. They featured in my recent Shopping my Stash post.

Alteya Organics Bio Damascena Ageless Rose Otto Eye Cream sachet** which gave several uses (I'd reckon they'd be enough in this sachet for a week's holiday). Really lovely. Full size is on the wishlist!

Luxe Botanics CAMU Brightening Cleanser 4ml a lovely citrus scented milky cleanser which made short work of make up and daily grime. I only got 2 uses out of this sachet but fell in love. Would buy.

Therapie Himalyan Detox Salts 100g these are my favourite bath salts. See my review HERE. They also featured in Beauty Balm Curates...with Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box in May - see HERE.

Weleda Sea Buckthorn Body Wash 20ml* in one of my favourite Weleda scents. See my review HERE. Sure to pick this up again at some point.

Beatitude Joy Bath Oil sample Joy is my favourite scent by Beatitude. See my review HERE. Will definitely pick it up again!

Bodhi & Birch Rosa Verde Bath & Shower Oil 15ml* totally lush and when I need bath oils I'll be picking this up. See my mini review HERE.

Isla Apothecary Neroli Body Oil 15ml this award-winning blend is one of my absolute favourite body products. See my review HERE. It also featured in May's Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box Beauty Balm Curates...see HERE. I just opened up a new mini and will buy full size again. Just love.

Anita Grant Nerolage Body Oil 15ml which is absolutely heavenly. I adore anything neroli and this is a real treat for the body and mind. Full size is very firmly on the wishlist. 

Only & Eve Naples Grove Reed Diffuser* I absolutely loved this diffuser which I started using in December and only finished this month. See my review HERE. So impressed with how long it lasts making it excellent value. Will buy at some point either this one or another scent.

Aesop A Rose by Any Other Name Body Wash 500ml which I received from my friend Julie as a gift (at Christmas). Totally lush scent - rose petals, black pepper and cardamon. Loved the pump action bottle - great for beside the shower. Would buy again.

Five Favourites: Bathtime

I decided to resurrect this post Five Favourites. These literally are the five products I keep reaching for again and again! (although the KINN Beauty & Organic Trevarno are relatively new finds!)

I received Organic Trevarno Camomile & Lavender Bath & Body Oil in my Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box in November and totally fell in love with this sleep inducing potion (so had to buy full size). See my review HERE.

I just adore MOA's Fortifying Green Bath Potion which I reviewed HERE. I was delighted to receive one in my January Love Lula Beauty Box (MOA's new bath salts Dreamy are amazing too (review).

New to me brand KINN Beauty's bath oil is simply exquisite. The essential oil blend used is absolutely perfection - for me it says "everything's going to be fine". It's the perfect product for some me time, to relax and unwind (Ylang Ylang, Tangerine & Lavender). 

I've loved this Ila Spa Bath Soak for Pure Relaxation for a very long time. It's a beautiful blend of Vetiver and Petitgrain and it calms and relaxes both the body and mind (and costs an absolute bargainous £9.60 for 150ml!)

No bathtime round-up would be complete without Therapie Himalayan Detox Salts. I once said if I could only use one bathtime product it would be these. See my review HERE.

Do we share any favourites?

January Empties

I'm not going to use anything else up this month so here are my January empties:

Faith in Nature Grapefruit & Orange Shower Gel & Foam Bath 100ml - this came in the Holland & Barrett Advent Calendar and I really liked it's zesty freshness. It was great for a wake up call in my morning shower. Would buy full size.

Buff Natural Body Care NAKED Sea Salt Body Scrub Lovers' Blend 60ml - I absolutely loved this beautiful scented scrub which had the perfect amount of scrubbiness. See my review HERE. Sure to pick this up again.

MOA Fortifying Green Bath Potion 100ml - is one of my favourite bath time products. Luckily, just received another in January's Love Lula Beauty Box. See my review HERE.

Ishga Invigorating Body Oil 100ml* - I absolutely loved this! See my review HERE. I'll definitely buy at some point when my body oil stash reduces a bit.

AA Skincare Green Tea & Aloe Vera Soothing Cleansing Wipes - I don't use wipes very often but find them great to use after a night out or on holiday. I found these ones very gentle and I'll pick them up again.

Organic Trevarno Camomile & Lavender Bath & Body Oil 30ml which came in November's Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box. I loved it so much I rushed out and bought full size. See my thoughts HERE. I'll pick it up again as I love it!

And...I finished two perfumes this month:

Miller Harris Vetiver Insolent EdP 50ml - which I simply love. I picked up a mini in their sale but I'll definitely buy full size soon (it's up there in my top 5). 

And another favourite Shay & Blue's Dandelion Fig 30ml (both hubby and friend Julie picked me up bottles for Christmas so I'm well stocked up - thanks both!) See my mini review HERE.

Organic Trevarno Skincare: Camomile & Lavender Bath & Body Oil + Try Me Sample Pack

I first tried this beautiful bath & body oil by Organic Trevarno in Skin Organic's Clean Beauty Box - Beauty Sleep in November. I found I loved the calming and soothing scent, so much so that when the sale was on after Christmas at Organic Trevarno I bought full size!

The full size (100ml - £14.50) comes boxed and inside is a pump which can be screwed onto the bottle (which makes for more economical use).

The bath & body oil is a nourishing and gentle mix of soothing and calming camomile and lavender along with olive and almond oils. Use in the bath, in massage or as a body oil. 

To use: as a bath oil add 1-2 pumps to to a running bathtub. As a body oil apply a small amount to the palms and massage onto the skin concentrating on dry patches.

I absolutely love it's soothing scent (it's perfect to use before bed for restful slumber).

I also picked up a Try-me Sample Pack which at £3 is incredible value! You pick 3 samples from a selection.  I chose Rose & Jojoba Moisturiser 10ml, Lavender & Geranium Cleansing Oil 5ml and Overnight Replenishing Cream 10ml which are great try me sizes and would be perfect for holidays - I'm really enjoying all three! (with this trio you get a voucher for £5 off a £20 spend for use within 30 days).

Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box: November: Beauty Sleep

November's Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box theme is #BeautySleep and inside are a treasure trove of beautiful products to help you sleep. Sign up for £21 a month plus £3.95 p&p - see HERE.

Everything is beautifully packaged in it's own branded box:

WOW! This month there is only one new to me brand Organdle, a Scottish hand made candle company. Inside there is a Dreamer Wellbeing Candle which helps you to relax and unwind before bed. It contains essential oils of Clary Sage, Green Mandarin and Roman Chamomile blended with natural soy wax. This is worth £14.95 and I'm looking forward to lighting it!

JUN-i featured in a previous box and this month we have their Facial Oil & Cleanser (I love a multi-use product) which is worth £10 and is formulated with Jojoba oil, Almond oil, Vitamin E, Raspberry Seed oil and Lemon essential oil. It has an uplifting scent and I'm looking forward to testing it out.

I'd heard of Spacemasks before but this is my first try! It's a eye mask which sounds delightful - jasmine scented iron particles heat up on contact with the air to ease tension and encourage circulation. The mask helps to alleviate strain on the eyes caused by excessive screen staring, stress and headaches. This mask is worth £3.

I'm a huge fan of gorgeous Kiss the Moon and these DREAM Bedtime Bath Salts £5. They are perfect to use before bed (and you should get two uses from the sachet). Lavender and Bergamot soothe and relax both the body and mind.

The last two brands I've also heard of (and tried different products from their ranges). From Organic Trevarno we have Camomile & Lavender Bath & Body Oil £5 which is a delight. I tried it on Sunday night and found it totally relaxed and zoned me out! Love!

The final item this month is Calendula & Lavender Soothing Eye Treatment £5 from Kozmetics which is perfect to use in the evening before bed. It soothes and treats the delicate eye area smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles.

Again, another fabulous box for me. What do you think of the contents this month?
