June Empties

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

Pure Fiji Nourishing Coconut Exotic Oil 90ml - simply love this coconut scented oil although I found it didn't all melt this time and was a bit gritty towards the end.  Will probably pick it up again at some point though.

Elemis Quiet Mind Relaxing Bath Elixir 300ml - I received this in a QVC TSV a while back.  Nice to use but probably wouldn't re-purchase as I prefer bath oils to bubble baths these days.

Jo Malone Lime, Basil & Mandarin Bath Oil 30ml - received this for my birthday (I got two!) One of my favourite Jo Malone scents.  A real luxury.  Gorgeous!

Perricone MD Nutritive Cleanser 59ml - this came as a freebie a while back.  Really nice. Would consider purchasing it when I use up my stash!

Louise Galvin Sacred Locks Conditioner for Fine Hair 100ml - this came in a Latest in Beauty Box.  Loved it and the shampoo would re-purchase.  See my review here.

Green People Moisturising Shower Gel 30ml - this came in last month's Souk Souk box.  Loved it and would buy again.

Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Shampoo 50ml - this came in the Aveda Latest in Beauty box a while back.  See here.  This was nice enough but I didn't like it enough to buy it again - great box though!

Essential Care Lemon & Tea Tree Facial Wash 30ml - this came in a Souk Souk box.  Really lovely to use and one I'd consider buying again.

Stila Glowing Reviews Gentle Skin Renewal Scrub 10ml - this came in a WIMH set.  Loved its gentle scrub and minty scent.  Would perhaps purchase.

The Little Skincare Shop English Rose Floral Water 60ml - this was lovely to use and I'll maybe re-purchase in future once I use up my current stash.

Caudalie Premier Cru The Cream 15ml - this came in a Latest in Beauty duo. Absolutely loved it but doubt I'll be purchasing it as it costs round about £83.

Rodial Glamoxy Snake Serum 2.5ml - nice to use - it came in a mini set I reviewed here.  Unlikely to buy it full size as it's quite expensive.

Jane Iredale Just Kissed Lip & Cheek Stain mini - this came in a Joliebox - simply loved it. Changes shade depending on your mood - mainly this is pink on my lips but it has been dark pink and a reddish shade too! Luckily I have another mini to use. I'll definitely buy full size soon.

A while back I did a post on five favourite bath oils see here.  

I love bath, body and face oils and here are five current favourites:

The London Oil Company Morning Glory Body Oil 50ml - simply love this lemongrass scented oil after my morning shower.  See my review here.  One I'll always have in my stash!

Bloom Remedies Organic Eye Make Up Remover 50ml* - this is a best seller - I can see why! It is very effective at removing waterproof mascara.  Lightly scented with rose.  Apply a small amount to a cotton wool pad and apply gently to the eye area rubbing lightly.  Contains Organic Sunflower Seed Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, Calendula Oil, Rose Essential Oil.

Bodhi Desert Rose Rejuvenating Face Oil 30ml - my favourite face oil of all time! It has featured a lot on my blog in favourites and shopping my stash.  You can see my review here.

Shopping my Stash #16

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

Kerastase Elixir Ultime 50ml - I received this as a freebie with another order.  It's lovely! Can be used pre-shampoo, post-shampoo before blow drying or to control frizz.

Bodhi Ylang Ylang Incensa Sensual Bath & Shower Therapy 50ml and Sensual Body Moisturiser 40ml - simply love this spicy oriental - been so lovely to use every evening during this cold weather we've been having.  You can see my mini review here.

Ginvera Green Tea Exfoliating Marvel Gel 10g* and Green Tea BB Cream 8g* - I've found the marvel gel amazing at getting rid of blackheads/whiteheads on my chin.  The BB cream is a suit most people shade and give a natural look - reviews to follow.

The London Oil Company After Hours Sensual Massage Oil 10ml - I love how you can buy sample type sizes before buying full size.  This is a lovely thickish oil scented with jasmine, sweet orange, cedarwood, patchouli and ylang ylang.  A 10ml sample retails at £4.00.

Melvita Eau Florale de Rose Flower Water 26ml - Nardine at Live..Laugh..Love sent me this from her Latest in Beauty box as she doesn't like rose scents - well it's gorgeous and I'm really enjoying using it.

The London Oil Company - Morning Glory Body Oil & Sweet Cheeks Face Oil

Vivien Hamed is the Founder of The London Oil Company which is a small artisan business based in London's Primrose Hill.  Products are handcrafted in small batches using natural oils, plant extracts and essential oils.  No parabens or  preservatives are used and the products have been tested on family and friends, not animals.

Products arrive beautifully packaged in brown boxes tied with raffia and wrapped in tissue.

The oils come in glass bottles and the labels include a full ingredient list.  Products include body oils, bath oils and face oils and you can see the range here.

I like how you can buy the oils in different sizes. So if you just want to test a product out you can buy a 10ml sample.

Morning Glory Body Oil 100ml - (100ml £12, 50ml £7, 10ml £3)

An uplifting and invigorating body oil with essential oils of rosemary, lemongrass and coffee.  I use this in the morning after my shower on slightly damp skin. Definitely cheering on a cold winter Monday morning!  It contains - sweet almond oil, cherry kernal oil, organic avocado oil and essential oils of rosemary, lemongrass and coffee.

Sweet Cheeks Face Oil 60ml - (60ml - £18 until 15.2.13 and then £22, 30ml £10, 10ml £4)

A lovely face oil with organic unrefined avocado oil, organic rosehip, sea buckthorn, organic jojoba oil and rosemary and coffee essential oils.  Use in the morning warming a few drops in your palm and massage into face and neck.  The sea buckthorn leaves your face with a sunkissed glow!  

My only negative is that I'd like the face oil to have a dropper or stopper as it is difficult to only get a few drops of the oil.

Really lovely products - next I want to try Sleepy Head Bath Oil and Sleepy Head Body Oil.
