November 2021 natural beauty empties

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…

Face oils for winter: 3 of the best for happy skin

Hello again, skincare lover! Today I want to talk about using face oils for winter skincare. Winter is a troublesome time for skin. But it’s not just the cold temperature that bites. Dry winter air robs skin of vital moisture, leading to dehydration. Sadly, problems like eczema and psoriasis are worsened in colder months. But adding a face oil to your winter routine morning and night protects and nourishes your skin. It can improve and strengthen the skin barrier so that skin is better defended from the elements. And what’s more, face oils address specific skin concerns. For dry skin, using a face oil regularly can reduce dry patches and minimise fine lines. For acne prone skin, face oils can help calm the inflammation. And all skins benefit from the anti-ageing benefits of face oils. Sounds worth it, right? So, let’s talk about 3 of my very favourite face oils…

December 2020 natural beauty empties

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…

Hello, dear friend! And welcome to my November 2020 natural beauty empties. November has been a really busy month for me on my blog.

My skincare is the same, and you’ll find this in my November empties. There’s a skin-saving repair lotion, beautiful smoothing bakuchiol serum, gentle shea moisturiser that works in any routine across all seasons, plus lots more. And for children there’s gentle baby hand sanitiser, vanilla body wash, and more. Have fun with my November 2020 natural beauty empties!

March 2020 natural beauty empties

Here are my March 2020 natural beauty empties. Another month of empties, and how much life has changed since my last empties post. In the light of the Coronavirus pandemic, my post about skincare empties seems trivial, but I’m finding solace in my skincare and carrying on my blog as normal. And you know what? Taking care of my skin is still incredibly important to me! It’s pretty much my rock. In March, I used up hydrating day cream, silky tinted lip balm, a zesty lemon hand smoothie for sore hands, tea tree balm, and lemongrass & chamomile soap. Enjoy! Natural beauty empties Lumen Vitae Ray of Light Day Cream I was kindly sent Ray of Light Day Cream and others in the Lumen Vitae range to try.

LoveLula February 2019 Beauty Box review

It’s been 6 months since I last reviewed the LoveLula Beauty Box, although I’ve still enjoyed receiving the odd box.

February’s beauty box contains 5 full-size natural beauty products. It’s worth £60, but costs just £14.95 as a monthly subscriber. Let’s jump straight in and take a look at the natural beauty products. PHB Ethical Beauty Gentle Moisturiser PHB skincare has recently undergone a transformation, with new products in redesigned packaging and glass containers.
