May Empties

I'm not going to use up anything else this month so here goes...

Therapie Himalayan Detox Salts 100g - these are a staple for me and I have more in my stash. Edit: they are always in my stash. If I could only ever use one bath product again it would be these salts.

Aromatherapy Associates Lavender & Ylang Ylang Body Wash 50ml - this was a hotel freebie and nice to use.

ila Bath Soak for Pure Relaxation 50ml* - loved this. Full size is on the wishlist. No bubbles but nice and relaxing.

lj's Organic Purity Rose Body Oil 50ml - adore this. Got another in my stash. See my review here. It's super lush and I love it!

Skin Blossom Facial Toner 150ml - this was really nice to use. I'd maybe buy again but I prefer spray on toners.

TEWC Virgin Coconut & Lime Body Butter 40g - I loved this lush butter. One I'll definitely pick up again. See my review here.

Rose & Co Sugar Rose Hand Cream 40ml - I loved this sugar sweet hand cream. Already picked up another!

Aromatherapy Associates Inner Strength Bath & Shower Oil 7.5ml - my favourite Aromatherapy Associates scent. Sure to buy full size at some point. See my review here. 

OLE HENRIKSEN Pure Truth Melting Cleanser 15ml - I simply loved this. Will pick up full size at some point.

Neom Sensuous Reed Diffuser Refill - huge fan of these Neom oils. Only bug-bear is they don't last long enough but I think the reeds are the cause, not the oil.

Mauli Rituals Sacred Union Scent & Dry Oil sample - really loved this. See my review here. Full size is on the wishlist.

Bodhi & Birch Jasmine Falls Relaxing Bath & Shower Therapy 200ml - love this. One of my favourite scents from Bodhi & Birch.  Will buy again.

L'Occitane Relaxing Bath Salts 300g - My second pot. See my review here. Would maybe re-purchase but there are other bath salts to try first!

de Mamiel Spring Face Oil 20ml - I just adored this! After payday I'm buying the Summer seasonal oil.  See my review here. I can quite honestly say this oil No.1 in my top 3. Can't wait to try Summer!

Shay & Blue Atropa Belladona Natural Spray - I'm now on my second bottle of this fruity, floral and heady scent. I just love it. See my review here.

Skin Blossom Facial Toner - this came in this month's Love Lula beauty box. An effective toner which is reasonably priced and smells good! I'm enjoying using it and a full review will follow.

Schmidt's Ylang Ylang+Calendula Natural Deodorant* - I simply adore this natural deodorant.  See my review here.

Bee Yummy Skin Food* - I'm nearly at the end of this super moisturising cream. It's scent takes a bit of getting used to but now I love it!  I've been mixing it with a drop of Indie Lee's Squalane Facial Oil* for extra moisture. See my review of Bee Yummy here and Indie Lee here.

bite beauty Lip Gloss No.6 - I simply adore this beautiful glossy lip gloss. I just love this shade. Gives the lips a pop of colour.

My favourite box to date! What are your thoughts?

Souk Souk December Beauty Box

My Souk Souk December Beauty Box arrived yesterday and I'm super pleased with the contents. Great products and outstanding value.

inner-soul Organics Circulation Boost Skin Oil 30ml - I've heard of this brand before but I've not tried anything so I'm happy to see this in the box.  Full size retails at £37. It smells really lovely - it contains one of my favourite essential oils - geranium along with a blend of other skin nourishing oils.  One of my favourite items in the box.

Salt of the Earth Natural Crystal Deodorant 90g - this is a full size product and worth £4.99. Again, I've heard of this product but not tried it before.  It deodorises naturally with no parabens.  Looking forward to giving it a go.

Skin Blossom Age Resist Facial Moisturiser 50ml - yet another full size product! It is 50ml and retails at £7.25. I've used the Skin Blossom brand before but not this product. It contains Argan Oil, Shea, Cocoa and Jojoba butters making it perfect for protecting winter skin.

Finally, there are two Peppy Galore Products, both of which are full size - Peppy Galore Diva Cleansing Oil 45g (worth £7.45) and Peppy Galore Nurse Peppy Healing Balm (£4.49) - I've tried the healing balm before and liked it's soothing qualities. I also love the little heart shaped tin.  Full reviews will follow.
