October 2021 natural beauty empties

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

January 2021 natural beauty empties

Hello again, my friend! Welcome to my January 2021 natural beauty empties. What to say about January? The lockdown, supporting my husband working from home, worrying about all our health – it takes its toll. But skincare, as usual, is a beautiful distraction and – we had snow! It was so good to frolic in the white stuff, have fun, and forget about lockdown, just for one day. This month, I used up a beautiful gel cleanser, all-in-one balm, ginseng face tonic, and more. My littles used up a gentle hydrating body lotion and a baby sleep rollerball. I hope you find my January empties helpful! January 2021 natural beauty empties D’Alchemy Purifying Facial Cleanser One of my favourite gel cleansers. It’s great during times of hormonal breakouts since it mildly exfoliates and contains soothing ingredients. I really love the softly foaming texture and the orange and vanilla scent. You…

September 2020 natural beauty empties

Welcome back, beauty lover! And welcome to my September 2020 natural beauty empties. September has been a whirlwind of trying new natural beauty products and reviewing them. Somehow, I managed to find time to use up many fantastic clean beauty products, too. My favourites this month include a divine facial oil, hand therapy cream, pore refining acid wash, and anti-bac hand sanitiser. For the littles, there’s a gorgeous skin-friendly baby balm. I hope you enjoy my September empties! September 2020 natural beauty empties Antipodes Divine Face Oil This facial oil truly lives up to its name. I had it sitting on my shelf for a while after featuring it in my 2018 natural beauty stocking fillers. But once I tried it again, I couldn’t get enough! Impressively, it claims to boost the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin by up to 51%. Essential fatty acids keep skin strong while…

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…

Neroli skin care: 8 blogger favourites

Do you love neroli skin care products? Me too! Neroli is uplifting, romantic and calming. Perfect for post lockdown emotional support. And so many natural beauty bloggers love neroli skin care too! One of my favourite memories as a young girl was sitting under my mum’s mock orange tree in the garden, listening to the bees buzzing around the fragrant blooms. When mock orange (aka “Philadelphus Virginalis”) is about to blossom, my thoughts turn to neroli (aka Bitter Orange, “Citrus Aurantium”). 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? Neroli in beauty care is created by adding neroli essential oil or hydrosol to skin and hair care…

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…

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. This soothing cream took me no time to use up – I loved it. It’s hydrating and calming, perfect for wearing in…

February 2020 natural beauty empties

Welcome to my February 2020 natural beauty empties! I’m late posting my used up products again and while I don’t have many empties for February, they’re all natural beauty products I’ve really enjoyed using. I’ve got anti-ageing face cream, illuminating vitamin C serum, nude lip gloss, gentle baby shampoo, soothing eye cream, zesty body oil, and a comforting buttermilk soap for the whole family. Read on to learn more! February 2020 natural beauty empties D’Alchemy Age Defence Broad-Spectrum Remedy This is a wonder of a cream, softening lines while deeply hydrating and I’m very sad to have emptied it! I reviewed it and other D’Alchemy moisturisers some months ago. The cream is great for normal to dry skin and “provides intensive skin regeneration, lightens up discolouration, fills up wrinkles, and prevents loss of firmness and density” – great news for me – this year I seem to look a lot…

Research has shown that probiotic skincare can protect our skin from bad…
