June 2020 natural beauty empties

Welcome back, beauty lover! And welcome to my June 2020 natural beauty empties. What a month June was for content on my blog. I used up quite a few skincare products, too. June was about oils – 2 well-loved facial oils, plus a lash oil. I used up 2 day moisturisers, an Ayurvedic body wash, herbal conditioner, healing balm, and even a soothing aromatherapy candle! Plenty for the littles too, including a gentle dragon fruit children’s conditioner, soothing coconut scalp cream, and creamy calendula body wash. Are you ready to learn more about them? Let’s go!

Curious about natural micellar water? + D’Alchemy Micellar Cleansing Water review

Have you used a natural micellar water before? If not, are you curious? Until a few weeks ago, I’d never tried micellar water, never mind one I considered “natural”. I was so happy with my oil, balm, and gel cleansers, for years I completely overlooked micellar water. Micellar water contains compounds that are highly effective at removing dirt and oil to keep skin clear. Healthline Then one night I felt like cleansing without water. I couldn’t be bothered to turn the tap on and fill the sink to remove my makeup. How lazy is that? But we’ve all been there! I needed a waterless cleansing solution. I finally saw a use for micellar cleansing water! According to many of the brands offering micellar water, it brings the duel benefit of makeup removal and cleansing – without any water at all. But we all know that oil-based cleansers are the best…

My favourite way to enjoy the benefits of neroli is in skin care. My favourite place to shop them? LoveLula of course! So this post is all about neroli – what it is, neroli skin care benefits, and my roundup of blogger neroli skin care favourites. What is neroli in skincare?

Latest Lavera skincare loves

Welcome back, beauties! Today it’s time to share my current loves from a long-time favourite natural beauty brand. Hello, Lavera skincare! Lavera is one of the first natural beauty brands I tried. I return to Lavera skincare again and again for certified organic products that are such great value for money! One of my favourite things about Lavera is that all their beauty products are certified organic by NaTrue. Everything is 100% natural and organic, and nothing is tested on animals. You won’t find any parabens, SLS, phthalates, mineral oils, or petrochemicals in Lavera beauty! The brand was founded by Thomas Haase in 1987. In founding Lavera, he discovered his lifelong dream of organic and natural beauty care for all. To me, nature is the only true way to beauty care. For me, lavera stands for true, natural beauty care – pure nature – my concept for beautiful skin. Thomas…

Kear Greek Skincare: ancient Greek skincare reborn

Welcome back, beauties! Today I’m introducing a wonderful natural Greek skincare brand that I know you will love as much as I do – introducing Kear Skincare. Inspired by the Greek word for the heart (Greek: κέᾰρ), Kear was born from the love of traditional Hellenic medicinal herbs and essential oils, backed up by solid skincare research. Greece is renowned for its beauty history. “Keeping skin clear and soft was a high priority in the Greek culture.” [source] There is a land where nature, the bright sun and the crystal clear blue sea interact seamlessly with everyday life, while scents from plants and herbs fill in the air every single day Kear products respect the skin, and help to restore its natural beauty with effective, anti-ageing formulations packed with antioxidants.

Inika Phytofuse Renew Resveratrol Serum Review

Welcome back, my beauties! I hope this post finds you well. Today I’m sharing my blogger pick for May, the wonderful Inika Phytofuse Renew Resveratrol Serum. It’s fair to say I collect skincare like philatelists collect stamps. So when I learned that Australian brand Inika had recently added the Phytofuse Renew skincare line to its already very highly esteemed line of makeup, I jumped at the chance to try it. Wait, Inika now do skincare? They certainly do! And it’s the first 100% natural, vegan and organic botanical skincare range enriched with Phytofuse Renew. This appears to be a proprietary extract developed by Inika based on rose of jericho, a “rehydrating desert resurrection plant”. Rose of Jericho is clinically known for its anti-pollution, protective, and healing properties. 5% proven active ingredients. 2X the potency found in mainstream skincare ranges. There are several products in the Inika Phytofuse Renew skincare line,…

Maison Sybarite – First Water-Based Fine Fragrances: Bed of Roses Review

April 2020 Natural Beauty Empties – Samples Galore!

Welcome back, beauty friend! And welcome to my April 2020 natural beauty empties. April was a great month for empties! I had chance to use up many more products because my husband is working from home and I have a little bit more time in the morning. Coronavirus lockdown – there are some benefits. Not only that, but I’ve been shopping my stash every week. This month I wanted to focus on using up my sample collection. The ultimate goal is to reduce the number of these little sachets coming in. Sample sachets are a terrible waste of packaging – there are better ways to get samples! So, future thinking applied. But a lot of my samples were running out of date, and I didn’t want to waste them. So I’ve been living like I’m on holiday, with lots of variety – it’s been fun! I also have lots of…
