Hello again, empties lover! And welcome to my September 2021 natural beauty empties! It’s been an interesting month where I tried to minimise trying too many new products and blogging about them, but failed! Sometimes it’s hard to slow down with the things I love! Our darling new baby is due in just 2 weeks, so I’m understandably wanting to wind things down. But on the other hand, Cara started at playgroup so I have a little extra time before bubs comes earthside. I have a modest amount of empties for you this month. I’ve been masking most nights through September to try and carve some relaxation time, plus use up some of my huge mask stash. So, in this month’s empties you’ll find a sumptuous honey mask, refreshing floral mist, anti-ageing facial oil, and more. My kids used up a creamy body lotion and body wash. Shall we take…

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!

Hello again, beauty lover! And welcome to my June 2021 natural beauty empties. It’s where I post about all my used up products for the month. And this month I have a huge collection for you! In June I used up a gorgeous vibrant exfoliant gel to milk mask, effective solid conditioner bar, beauty sleep facial oil, and more! My children used up a soothing calendula oil and a lovely SOS face cream. Shall we dive in? Let’s go! June 2021 natural beauty empties Native Essentials SOLE Gel to Milk Mask Native Essentials brightly coloured and interestingly textured exfoliant and mask is easily one of my favourites this month.

Welcome back, beauty lover! And welcome to my May 2020 natural beauty empties! May has been a good month for empties. I have loved them all – well, except for one – you’ll see which. And there are some definite repurchases from some of my most beloved brands. There’s an amazing anti-ageing face cream with ingredients that read from your superfood store-cupboard, sumptuous cleansing butter with carrot and mango, a gentle vitamin C serum that’s great for beginners, and a body lotion that promises to boost emotional wellbeing – and much more! I really hope you enjoy them! Are you ready? Let’s begin! Natural beauty empties Tamaar Rejuvenate Anti-Ageing Cream Complex This is one of my favourite moisturisers – my skin really loves it.

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…

Welcome to my June 2019 natural beauty empties! It’s been a quiet month for skincare in June. I’ve stepped down from receiving LoveLula boxes and credits for the time being so I can blog about my children and relax more once my bairns are in bed. It’s sad, but I had to prioritise. So, on to this month’s empties, which my kiddies have dominated. My favourite product this month is a very special children’s lotion that’s great for all the family. If you have an itchy skin condition, you need to try this one. There’s also a hair and body wash, rose oil hand cream, dragon fruit bubble bath, creamy body wash, and a liquid organic foundation sample. I hope you enjoy my June empties!

In this post, I share my April 2019 natural beauty empties. During April I’ve used up quite a lot of products – go me! The star product this month is a gorgeous balm that I’ve been using on my psoriasis, which is still covering my hands and arms and is something I’m just about managing. There’s also luscious lip balm, coconut baby wash and konjac sponge, hand cream, moisturiser, sun cream, shampoo, and a handful of travel and sample sizes. Enjoy my empties! Natural beauty empties Bria Balm I’ve absolutely loved using this and it’s a definite repurchase.

With replenishing borage oil, repairing rosehip, and cooling chickweed to calm itching, it’s helped manage my psoriasis keeping it comfortable and reducing its severity. Definitely one to try if you or your little ones…
