December Empties

I think this has been the smallest amount of empties this year!

Verso Night Cream with Retinol 8 15ml - this was nice to use. I'd maybe consider buying when my stash reduces a bit.

Weleda Arnica Muscle Soak Bath Milk 200ml - I simply love this soothing soak. See my review HERE. It's a product I pick up again and again as it simply works!

Molton Brown Frankincense & Allspice Hand Wash 100ml - I'm absolutely addicted to this beautiful spicy handwash. See my review HERE. I've got a couple of bottles stashed away!

John Masters Organics Citrus & Neroli Detangler 60ml - this is a staple. I've always got this in my stash. Leaves the hair feeling nourished and smooth. Will buy again soon!

Molton Brown Rosa Absolute Bath & Shower Gel 30ml - I'd been wanting to try this range since trying out the perfume recently. It's really lovely and smells deeply of roses.

Bloomtown Botanicals The Meadow Pink Himalayan Bath Soak 285g** - I'm a huge fan of soaks in the bath and these salts are gorgeous. See my review HERE. I'll pick these up when my stash reduces.

Balm Balm Indulge Bath & Shower Oil 5ml* - lovely and made for a great relaxing soak. Would buy.

Dr Hauschka Moor Lavender Calming Bath Essence 10ml* - this is really lovely. Perfect to use before bed. Full size is on the wishlist!

Rio Rosa Mosqueta Pure Chilean Rosehip Seed Oil 5ml* - love this! See my review HERE. Will buy full size when my stash reduces a bit.

Rio Rosa Mosqueta: Rosehip Discovery Set

Earlier in the month, as part of the Love Lula Accredited Blogger Program I created a beauty box (it's a lot harder than it looks!) See my picks HERE*.

One of the items I chose was a Rosehip Discovery Set* by Rio Rosa Mosqueta (£9.95) which is the perfect try me set or small gift. All the products in the range contain pure Chilean Rosehip Seed Oil.

The brand is 100% natural and made with Pure Chilean Rosehip Seed Oil. The ingredients used to formulate the products are carefully selected natural ingredients and organic plant extracts sustainably sourced from South America and are free from parabens, paraffin, petrochemicals, sulphates, animal testing, synthetic fragrances, colour, PEG, TEA and microbeads. The scent of the products is very neutral (hard to describe but very pleasant!)

The discovery set* contains: Cream Cleanser 20ml, Rosehip Seed Oil 5ml and Anti-Ageing Day and Night Cream 20ml which is the perfect try me size, for holidays or as a gift.

The Cream Cleanser is a rich cream which is made with Rosehip Oil, Aloe Vera, Avocado, Babassu Oil and Shea Butter which easily melts away daily grime and make up leaving the skin feeling clean and nourished.

The star of the trio is the pure Chilean Rosehip Oil which deeply nourishes, heals and regenerates. The oil is made from the seeds of a wild rose found growing in the valleys of the Chilean Andes.

Rich in Vitamins A, C & E and essential fatty acids the oil can be used on the skin, scars, stretchmarks, fine lines, sun damaged and dry skin. I've nearly finished my little bottle but it will be re-purchased for sure!

The third item in the set is Anti-Ageing Day and Night Cream (and my 2nd favourite). This deeply nourishing cream is formulated to protect from harmful UVA rays during the day and nourish, hydrate and repair while you sleep.

I definitely want to now try other items from the good value and effective range. Have you tried any product from Rio Rosa Mosqueta before?

Love Lula: Beauty Balm's Beauty Box

Love Lula stock so many brands I haven't tried yet that I decided to pick some new to me brands this month. I decided to create a beauty box which I'd love to receive (it's a lot harder than it looks to select a good mix and stay within budget!) There is one brand I've included which I've tried before - cult brand Dr Hauschka (but not the sample I picked). I can't wait to try everything so expect reviews soon!

Without further ado here's my picks (which works out at £50.05):

I've been wanting to try one of Ere Perez's Lipsticks for ages! I chose shade Surprise (4.5g - £17)* to put in my box. It's a really lush hot pink matte which I can't wait to try.

Next up is NEW IN: Rio Rosa Mosqueta Rosehip Discovery Set (£9.95)* which includes 3 trial sizes - Cream Cleanser (20ml), Rosehip Seed Oil (5ml) and Anti-ageing Day & Night Cream (20ml). The range is 100% natural and organic and made with pure Chilean Rosehip Seed Oil.

Alchemy Oils have been on my radar for a while but I've just not got round to trying them. The new travel size (30ml - £8) is the perfect try-me size or great for holidays. I selected their Grapefruit Hair Remedy* which deeply conditions and treats the hair. It can also be used for styling and flyaways - I love a multi-use product.

Staying on hair GK Natural Creations Silky Avocado Shampoo Bar with Rhasoul Clay & Silk (95g - £4.50)* jumped out at me (I also like the look of the rest of the range). I'm always looking for the perfect shampoo and this bar is suitable for normal, oily and fine hair.

I'm a huge bar of soap fan - so one had to sneak its way in! Trevarno is a brand which I've meant to try but just haven't yet. Their Organic Rose & Jojoba Soap (£4)* I chose can be used on both the face and body and smells divine.

My final full size pick is Bia Beauty Skincare Lime Pie Lip Balm (7ml - £3.60)* which smells limey and zesty. It's presented in a cute little tin which is perfect to pop in a pocket or handbag. It deeply nourishes the lips and I love it!

A trial size* from Dr Hauschka rounds up my box - Moor Lavender Calming Bath Essence (10ml - £3)* which calms and soothes both the body and mind.

What do you think of my choices this month? Are there any items there you'd like to try?
