November Empties

I'm not going to use anything else up this month. So here's my November empties:

Jo Malone Grapefruit Bath Oil 250ml - I received this as a present from hubby a good few birthdays ago! Lovely to use and I'd defintely like to try again. Maybe in a different scent. Made for a luxurious soak.

bodhi & birch Sicilian Rose Body Oil 100ml* - the trio of body oils are the latest launch from bodhi & birch and this oil is simply divine. See my review HERE. This beautiful oil will definitely be replenished!

Green People Joyful Body Wash 100ml* - with fab uplifting scent this body wash gently cleanses and leaves the skin delicately scented. LOVE! See my review HERE.

2 x 10ml MOA Fortifying Green Bath Potion - one of my favourite bath products. See my review HERE. I always have this in my stash and recently cracked open a new bottle.

Schmidt's Bergamot & Lime Deodorant 92g - this is a staple for me as it just works! Got a new one ready to use. See my review HERE. As long as it's still easy to get in the UK I'll keep buying.

YTTP Age Prevention Cleanser trial size - see my review HERE. It's definitely one I'd consider buying.

Mio Liquid Yoga Restorative Bath Soak 53ml - this is a nice bath soak. Once my stash reduces a bit I'd buy.

Lush Salted Coconut Hand Scrub 130g - loved this. I also used it as a body scrub. Would repurchase. See my review HERE.

Balm Balm Neroli Floral Water Hydrosol 100ml* - which was gorgeous to use and I'll buy it when my stash reduces a bit. See my review HERE.

Rossi Uvema Rose & Rosemary Face Toning Mist 100ml* - this was lovely to use and lasted ages. See my review HERE. Again, I've got a load of toners on the go so I wouldn't buy just now.

Willow Organic Vitamin & Bamboo Exfoliating Body Wash Blissful Peace Rose & Oud 50ml* - the scent of this body wash is gorgeous and it makes for pampering treat. See my review HERE. When my stash reduces a bit I'll buy full size.

Ruth Romano Lemongrass Hand Wash 250ml - love this! It has an uplifting scent and is gorgeous! See my review HERE. I've got another one in my stash to use.

Carol Joy London Collagen Eye Mask x 1* - a real luxe treat which firms and brightens the eye area. See my review HERE.

Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm 5g - I used to use this years ago so it was nice to try it out again. I've got a stash of balms to use but I'd consider buying it again at some point.

Sachajuan Overnight Hair Repair sachet - I got a couple of uses out of this sachet and it was nice to use. Can't say I noticed much difference to the look or feel of my hair though.

Nuxe Reve de Miel Face Cleansing & Make Up Remover Gel 15ml - loved this honey scented cleansing gel. Full size is on the wishlist.

Bamford Rose Camomile & Lemon Hand & Body Lotion 3ml - this was a super luxe hand cream with a simply divine scent. Would love this full size.

AnnMarie Skincare Anti-Aging Serum sample* - this range is beautiful. See my review HERE. My serum stash is huge but I'd maybe buy this in the future.

Myroo Starflower & Orange Blossom Facial Cleanser sample & Starflower & Orange Blossom Skin Boost Facial Serum sample. Loved both of these minis. See my review HERE and HERE. I'll buy when my stash reduces a bit as these were lovely to re-visit.

Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Shampoo 7.4ml sachet - this gave me 2 uses and I remember why I loved it so much. Full size on the wishlist!

What have you been using up this month?

Rossi Uvema Range

I've been testing out a few products from Rossi Uvema, a company which was set up by husband and wife team, Alan and Rossi. Products are formulated using 100% pure and natural ingredients and are free from parabens, sulphates, petrochemicals, PEGs, Phthalates, artifical fragrances, plastic fillers and synthetic chemicals.  I also think they are excellent value for money and nicely packaged.

The company is official sponsor of Clean Ocean International, a US non-profit based in California who aim to eradicate plastic pollution from the world's oceans.  Pick up your Rossi Uvema products direct, from Love Lula, from au sujet de Vert or from Bubbles & Light, Hampstead.

Intense Rejuvenation Rose & Pink Clay Mask (£15.25 - 70g)* this lush rose scented mask deeply cleanses the skin and is a pleasure to use. Formulated using ingredients like natural mineral clay, sweet almond oil, cocoa butter and rose oil which is great for dry/mature skin types. I've found my skin is drier in the winter and this mask is a perfect pampering pick me up. To use: apply a even layer to the face, sit back and relax and remove with warmed muslin cloths after 10-15 minutes.

/

Rose & Rosemary Face Toning Mist (£14.25 - 100ml)* I'm a huge fan of toning mists and this one soothes, refreshes and regenerates the skin.  Made with Rose flower water which regenerates while Rosemary flower water stimulates and is mildly astringent. To use: spritz over the skin AM/PM or whenever needed. 

Cocoa Butter & Grapeseed Hand & Body Lotion (£15.50 - 200ml)* this easily absorbed lotion is stuffed full of good things for the skin. Cocoa butter, Jojoba and Grapeseed oils nourish and strengthen the skin leaving it feeling deeply moisturised and protected. 

I'm so impressed with the range of products, their performance and great price. I'll definitely be treating myself to a few other things. 

Have you tried anything from Rossi Uvema?

au sujet de Vert online boutique

Shubana, who writes Berry's Beauty has recently launched online beauty boutique au sujet de Vert (which means about green in French) She recently got in touch to see if I'd like to try a product from Cîme Skincare (a brand I'd never tried up until now).

It was a nice surprise to receive a hand cream from the brand but also some other lovely goodies.

I like that your order can be hand delivered if you live in the W1 area of London. Brands stocked are natural and organic and have no parabens. In the 'mixed' section in the shop you will find products which contain some synthetic ingredients but are much loved. Everything has been tried and tested by Shubana which I think is a nice touch.

Brands you can buy:

Cîme Skincare - I've been testing out their De Main en Main Hand Cream (£21 - 100ml)* which is enriched with apricot kernal oil and aloe extract. It leaves the hands nourished and delicately scented. Expect a fuller review soon. I was also sent some sachets and I'll update my thoughts on them in a samples or empties post.

Tabitha James Kraan - I was sent a 60ml size of the Organic 4-in-1 Conditioner in Amber Rose*. This smells absolutely heavenly and I can't wait to try it. I have tried the conditioner in the Golden Citrus scent and you can see my review HERE.

Ermana Natural Skincare - a brand I tried way back in August (review). The Comfort Balm (15ml)* cares for dry skin patches on the face and body. Scented with Lavender, Geranium and Ylang Ylang and packed full of nourishing butters it's an absolute delight for the senses, a skin soother and hydrator. Use it on lips, elbows, cracked heels, knees, for cuticles and dry hands. You can also massage it onto the temples and wrists to help to calm down (I've also used it on flyaways).
