Welcome back, and thank you for taking a look at my June 2022 natural beauty empties. Well, it’s sad to say, but this might be the last of my empties posts for a while. I’m finding it hard to make time for my blog at the moment. I also want to focus on some new things in natural skincare, like formulating my own products for my kids. So do follow me over on Instagram to hear what I’m up to! I finished some cracking products this month, including a gorgeous concealer, refreshing cleansing gel, and a firming night balm. Shall we take a look at my empties? Let’s do it! June 2022 natural beauty empties RMS Beauty “Un” Cover-Up Concealer in 00 I absolutely love this concealer. I recently tried the foundation, too. It’s so well pigmented and long lasting. I really want to try more from RMS Beauty. RMS…

Welcome, lover of empties. And thanks for taking a look at my November 2021 natural beauty empties! In November, I used far fewer skincare products than usual since we’ve been settling into life with little Lydia. Caring for a newborn is a full time job, but I’ve luckily found a little time for skincare and makeup. This month you’ll find a calming facial oil, hydrating serum, chakra balancing salt soap, and more. The box is practically empty compared with previous months! Shall we take a look? November 2021 natural beauty empties Native Essentials Azur Calming Light Oil I used this gorgeous calming oil for a month or so towards the end of my pregnancy with Lydia. On the morning of my labour, I was so happy to use Azur and appreciate it to its fullest. It’s so calming and soothing, with nourishing oils of cacay, plum, argan, and watermelon. The…

Hello again, lover of empties! And welcome to my August 2021 natural beauty empties. August has been a quiet month for blogging as I wind down towards the end of my pregnancy with our third child. But I still have a ton of empties for you, as my skin needs extra care during pregnancy. In August I used up a sumptuous night cream for hands, kombucha power toner, and a eucalyptus body wash. Plus a £155 facial serum – is it worth it? And for the littles, body wash and hand sanitiser foam. Shall we take a look at them all in more detail now? Let’s do it! August 2021 natural beauty empties Kiss The Moon Love Night Cream for Hands Without a doubt, Kiss The Moon Love Night Cream for Hands is a holy grail product for me. It’s so silky and fragrant and perfect to use just before…

Hello my dear! And welcome to my July 2021 natural beauty empties! What a month July has been for me personally. We’re in the process of choosing a new house and readying ours for sale, and did you hear my news over on Instagram? We’re expecting our third child in October! So I’m trying to put my feet up a little in the evening which means less blogging. However, there will always be time for empties, where I share the skincare, haircare, and beauty we’ve used up through the month. And I have another bumper month for you! Packed with summer skincare essentials and beauty products to help you feel good! In July, I used up a gorgeous digital detox face mist, solid shampoo bar, hydrating moisturiser, vetiver face mask, and more. My kids went through 3 natural sunscreens plus a grizzly mane detantangler! Do you want to learn more…

Welcome back, lover of fine skincare! Today in the spotlight is the brand new Antipodes Culture Probiotic Night Cream, which I was so kindly gifted by Antipodes and came in a beautiful Antipodes Culture Gift Set! I’m a long term lover of Antipodes so it’s always exciting when they launch a new product. And I was super excited to try this hydrating night cream with good bacteria and hyaluronic acid that promises calmer, more hydrated, and healthier-looking skin by morning. Just look at this gorgeous Culture Gift Set, which also contains two of my long term Antipodes loves – the Halo Brightening Mask and Divine Face Oil. Together, the products in the kit aim to bring us healthier looking skin with the help of native New Zealand ingredients. What a trio for brighter, hydrated, and happier skin!

Welcome back, empties lover! And welcome to my February 2021 natural beauty empties. It’s that time of the month again where I share all the natural beauty products I used and loved! This month I finished up a well-loved grapefruit perfume that’s been in my collection for at least six years, a sumptuous radiance boosting face cream, multi-tasking facial oil, and much more. I hope you enjoy my February 2021 natural beauty empties! February 2021 natural beauty empties Love & Toast Sugar Grapefruit Perfume I’m not too sure about the green creds of this fragrance, although I’ve read that it’s organic and somewhat clean. But I loved it so much – it definitely deserves the top spot in my empties. Margot Elena creates such beautiful brands with artful designs that are easy to fall in love with. And it was certainly love between us, with the pretty design of the…

Hello again, my beauty friend! And welcome to my December 2020 natural beauty empties! What a year was 2020. It goes without saying that it’s been hugely challenging. Like many, I’ve found it helpful to try and focus on the positives. We’ve learned more about ourselves in 2020 than any other year, discovering just how strong and resilient we are. Life might not be exactly as we want it to be, but we can embrace what we do have. Time with friends and family is limited, but the limitation is reducing the spread of the virus. And it won’t last forever. Gratitude turns what we have into enough. – Anonymous 2020, you helped me to scale back my expectations; to celebrate the little moments of calm and reflection. And I really appreciated the extra time I had for self-care and wellness activities. Yet, I am so very glad to move…

Welcome back, my empties lover – and happy Halloween to you! It’s time for my October 2020 natural beauty empties. I love October because so many exciting things happen in nature – it is a time of shedding the old to make way for the new. My skincare too, changes with the season. I use a more deeply hydrating moisturiser, and pull out my cosiest of balms. You will find this reflected in my empties. There’s a beautiful natural deodorant – my favourite yet in fact, a deeply hydrating night cream, nourishing moringa cleansing oil, SPF20 day cream, and more. For little people, there’s fun throwable hand and face foam, and a sleepy time foot oil for bedtime relaxation. Fall in love with my October empties!
