October 2021 natural beauty empties

October 2021 natural beauty empties

Hello, my dear empties lover! Welcome to my October 2021 natural beauty empties!

Advert: this post contains references to PR gifted products. My views are honest and my own. May contain affiliate links.

This is the first post I’ve made since our daughter, Lydia Evelyn, arrived. My kids helped me with the photography this month, and they’ve had lots of fun building “pumpkin patches” indoors while I feed the baby.

There may be less time to enjoy skincare in the time immediately after welcoming a new baby, but the emphasis is very much on a basic skincare routine that’s fast, simple, yet comforting.

So this month, you’ll find a creamy and gentle facial wash, the dry body oil I enjoyed in the last few days of pregnancy, and a refreshing lemon deodorant. My kids used up a gorgeous natural baby oil.

HoliFrog Tashmoo Water Lily Nourishing Milky Wash

It’s hard to pick a favourite empty this month, but cleansing is my favourite skincare step, and Tashmoo Water Lily Nourishing Milky Wash is such a beauty of a cleanser!

HoliFrog Tashmoo Water Lily Nourishing Milky Wash

This soothing, gentle and milky wash contains water lily and lotus flower for a blissful cleanse for dry skin or combination dry skin.

Definitely one of my favourite second step cleansers and a gorgeous morning cleanser, too.

Nudge Boutique Saffron Glow Dry Body Oil

My previous post reviews skincare from the gorgeous Nudge Boutique. Their glorious Saffron Glow Dry Body Oil made such a perfect companion in the last few weeks of my pregnancy, keeping my skin soft and supple.

Nudge Boutique Saffron Glow Dry Body Oil

With neroli, vanilla, Norfolk saffron, and carrot, it’s a wonder for dry and sun damaged skin. And it’s not the only Nudge Boutique product I used up this month. I really love this skincare!


Little Aurelia Sleep Time Pillow Mist

This little treasure featured in natural products to help your toddler sleep. My eldest daughter really enjoyed finishing it up, especially when she transitioned to her own bedroom.

Little Aurelia Sleep Time Pillow Mist

With tension busting rose quartz, along with essential oils of chamomile, geranium, lavender, and angelica, it smells so sweet and comforting. Totally Cara approved!

Pure Purpose Lemon Breeze Natural Deodorant Cream

Pure Purpose is one of my favourite discoveries of the year. And their refreshing Lemon Breeze Natural Deodorant Cream is super effective. The texture is really lovely and easy to use.

Pure Purpose Lemon Breeze Natural Deodorant Cream

Normally, deodorants with bicarbonate of soda break me out immediately, but this deodorant is a little more gentle than that. Used every day, eventually it did break me out. But fear not, I’d just been applying too much of it. I gave my underarms a rest and tried again, and it was just fine. Funnily enough I remained body odour free during my break from this deodorant. Aren’t bodies strange?


Nudge Boutique Saffron Glow Facial Oil Serum

Another gorgeous oil from Nudge Boutique that I didn’t hesitate to use up immediately! It’s perfect at this time of year to treat sun damaged skin.

Nudge Boutique Saffron Glow Facial Oil Serum

The fragrance is totally blissful and the bright orange colour suggestive of the wonderful ingredients inside. Think plumping and smoothing saffron, carrot, and prickly pear.


Inner Senses Little Miracles Baby Oil

This Inner Senses Little Miracles Baby Oil spent a long time in my collection, and we savoured every drop. The multipurpose oil with lavender and chamomile made a soothing and relaxing addition to our oils collection.

Unfortunately, it’s not currently in stock, but do browse LoveLula for other baby oils in the meantime.


Elsa’s Armpit Restore Serum

Kindly sent by Elsa’s, the Armpit Restore Serum isn’t available yet as it’s under development.

Elsa's Armpit Restore Serum

A serum you say? Well, it’s actually more of a soft balm in my opinion, and contains ingredients to soothe and prevent ingrown hairs. I used it after every shave to keep my skin smooth and bump free. Since it’s not available yet, I’ll miss it!

Nudge Boutique Whipped Body Butter May Chang & Pink Grapefruit

Yet another Nudge Boutique empty! This gorgeous whipped body butter caught my eye and captured my heart.

Nudge Boutique Whipped Body Butter May Chang & Pink Grapefruit

My skin really loved the fragrant body butter with may chang and grapefruit. It gives all the benefits of a heavy body butter, without the heavy feeling – thanks to tapioca starch.


Green Stem Natural CBD Lip Balm

A really soothing lip balm I picked up at Holland & Barrett.

Green Stem Natural CBD Lip Balm

It tastes so interesting and the ingredients are quite lovely! There’s argan, avocado, and rosehip oils along with CBD to nourish and moisturise. I’d like to try more from Green Stem!

HoliFrog Kissimmee Vitamin F Therapy Balmy Wash

What a lovely fragrance free cleansing balm for dry skin – HoliFrog cleansers are really gorgeous and there’s a cleanser for every skin situation.

HoliFrog Kissimmee Vitamin F Therapy Balmy Wash

Key ingredients include moisturising papaya seed oil, anti-inflammatory kokum seed butter, and nutrient rich mongongo seed oil. I found it lifted makeup well, was easy to rinse away, and left my skin soft and calm.
