I can't believe it's the end of September already, Since it's the end of the month it must mean it's time for another Empties post. So what have I used up this month?
A bit of a mixed bag of empties but mainly skincare this month.
B. Makeup Setting Spray 40ml I must admit I've had this a while, I'm not really one for a makeup setting spray but when I bought this I thought it would help make my makeup last all day. It made no difference if I'm honest and it's not something I will purchase again.
Lyonsleaf Marshmallow Soften & Rejuvenate Facial Oil 30ml I featured this in my Current Facial Oils post (which you can read here) I hadn't tried it but I finally managed to get through this one and even though I liked it, I found the scent slightly off putting for me. I'd read so many fab reviews and don't get me wrong it made my face feel lovely but I wont re-purchase it just because the scent for me was either too strong or too sweet, I can't quite put my finger on which one it was, but I'm a little bit gutted by this product.
Evio Beauty Group Green Tea Primer 20ml I received this little guy in October's The Cruelty Free Beauty Box (if you missed my post you can read it here). It's actually taken me a while to get around to using it especially because I've not really been wearing much makeup but i have to admit I really enjoyed using this. It has organic green tea in it which is great for the skin, it also reduces the look of lines and pores. My foundation behaved and my makeup looked really nice afterwards. I would definitely consider re-purchasing this.
Mossa Youth Defence Cleansing Creme-Mousse 5ml I like this cleanser, even though it had the weirdest texture I enjoyed using it. I'd consider buying the full size of this as it's great for those on a budget and I'd like to try it for longer. I did a review here.
Lavera Re-Energizing Sleeping Cream 1ml I actually quite liked this and even though it was a small sachet I got a couple of uses out of it. I have reviewed it here, just in case you missed it and i would like to re-purchase this and give a really good try over a couple of weeks.
Okko Skincare Natural Face Balm Stick 4.5g This was a product in February's Flower Power The Natural Beauty Box Edition. I still have so many products to get through and I think I'm getting there. I used this mainly as a lip balm but also on my cuticles during the day when they were feeling a bit dry. It worked wonders and helped keep them soft. I'd never heard of the brand before and the one I received is ideal for all skin types.This would be great as an intensive night time treatment for your face but I'm not a massive face balm person so wouldn't buy this again. I would love to try some of their other products though.
Janna Skin Hydrating Sheet Mask With Hyaluronic Acid 25ml I received this in a giveaway prize I had won on Instagram and have to say I'd never heard of the brand before but i really enjoyed using this mask. I'm not a massive sheet mask fan as they feel slimy but this one was quite pleasant and my skin felt lovely afterwards. I'm glad I used this before bed, my skin felt so soft and looked really fresh the following morning. I would definitely like to give these mask a go again and would consider buying them.
Raw Ganic The Pure Refreshing Facial Wipe 25 wipes I've tried these in the Pomegranate ones and really loved them so was glad to see them in the June Summer Holidays Edition of The Natural Beauty Box. I hadn't tried these ones before and absolutely love them not only are they great for refreshing your face during hot days but they're fab for getting a layer of makeup off if you've had a full face on. I didn't know they were 100% biodegradable either which is a bonus!! I will definitely repurchase these.
Urban Veda Sachet Trio - Reviving Day Cream 2.5ml, Reviving Facial Oil 2.5ml & Purifying Protecting Night Cream 2.5ml I'm not usually a massive sachet fan as you don't get much out of them so can't really have a good trial of them but I have to admit I got a couple of uses out of these. I really enjoyed using all 3. They made my skin feel amazing afterwards. They sank into the skin really easily and were easy to apply. I'd like to give them a proper go, so maybe I'd repurchase but I'm not in a rush to do so.
Weleda Sage Deodorant 100ml I'm so glad I switched deodorants. This isn't an antiperspirant but it smells lovely and enjoyed using it. I felt like I was fresh feeling and smelling however every time I used it the OH would pipe up and constantly ask what that herbal smell was. This has been a re-purchase of mine for a while, however I'm always open to trying something new as I've not found the "one" yet.
B. Beauty Makeup Brush Cleanser 125ml I bought this as something to try to keep my brushes clean in between washes and I have to admit, it did what it said it would but I was rubbish at using it on a regular basis! I'm not sure if I'd re-purchase this as I feel it's not really a product you need to have.
Bloom & Blossom Anti Stretch Mark Cream 30ml I received this in my first Dear Bump box and it didn't take me long to go through it. This is the kind of product I can't live without at the moment especially with my growing bump. I have to put something on morning and night to help reduce stretch marks and of course to stop the skin from feeling tight as it grows. I'd never heard of the brand before but it's something I will re-purchase as it was such a lovely cream and it sank into the skin nicely.
Freyaluna Rituals Chamomile Beauty Balm 10ml I also got this in the first Dear Bump box and I used this on my cuticles and nails whenever I felt like my hands needed it and of course it was great to take in my bag and use if I felt like I had dry spots anywhere else especially on my elbows and knees. I'd buy this again.
T.O.S.E Apothecary Vanilla & Coffee Butter Lip Scrub 35ml Those people that know me know I LOVE my lip products. This is something I will re-purchase again and I did a review of this here.
Freyaluna Rituals Sandalwood & Orange Hair Repair Oil 30ml I gifted this one to my mum a while back and I even had a few cheeky uses of this. This was definitely much better suited to my mum's hair and made it feel really soft and healthy looking. I think she enjoyed using this a bit herself. The scent was really nice and this is definitely something I will buy again for her. I may even make her a lovely Christmas hamper with some gorgeous products.
T.O.S.E Apothecary Argan Oil 30ml LOVED using this product and it's definitely something I will re-purchase there was so much product inside such a small bottle. I did a full review here.
Lots of Love
