December Empties

I want to say that I haven't used that much this month but actually it is only just "not much" compared to what I might usually go through!


Intelligent Nutrients Harmonic Shampoo & Conditioner - Loved the scent of this but click here for my full review

REN Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash - I really liked using this shower gel, it has such a delicate rose scent which made it a pleasure to use. I have so many shower gels backed up so I probably won't buy this one again for some time

NYR Ginger & Vanilla Body Lotion - This sweet, spicy lotion was perfect for Christmas. Full review here

NYR Palmarosa Facial Wash - This 100ml bottle must have lasted me 6 months. Just one tiny pump was enough to wash my face and leave it feeling clean. Again, I have so many face washes stashed that I won't need to buy again for a long while

bodhi Neroli Lucé Face Oil - A stand out product for me this past year. This small bottle made a huge improvement to my skin. Review here

Herbfarmacy Lip Conditioner - I have loved using this lip balm, it feels good and it smells good. Will buy again

VMV Hypoallergenics Know-It-Oil 100% Organic Virgin Coconut Oil - I have used the super oil for everything and althought I have used coconut oil before, I have never had the same results (not even close) than I have with this brand

Indie Lee 100% Squaline Oil - A small sample but one that lasted ages as I needed such a small amount. Easily absorbed and great at reducing wrinkles. Will buy again but not just yet

Caudalie Divine Oil - Boy oh boy, this body oil was just as described - divine! A beautiful scent and so easily absorbed. I want to use it again already


Gwdihw Nail Wizard - Perfect size pot to keep by the bed and give my nails a bed time treat. Really liked this product but wont buy again at the moment as I have loads of hand balms to use up

S.W. Basics Shea Butter Cream - Super rich cream that was actually too much for my skin. I used it at night on my legs but won't be buying again

Peppy Galore Diva Face Moisturiser - a light an airy moisturiser that seemed to last for weeks! I would buy this again

Freyaluna Shine Control and Soothe the Sensitive Facial Tonics - These are perfect travel sized toners and both of them worked well

Freyaluna Soothe the Senitive and Regain Your Balance Facial Moisturisers - These were both a bit too heavy for my skin, even with it being Winter so I don't think I will use them again

Celtic Herbal Company Soap sample - a lovely little soap that lathered well and left my hands feeling clean but without drying them out

 During this month I am taking part in #NoBuyJanuary so I imagine that my empties post for January will be full of sample sized products!

    1. Not as much as usual but these were mostly smaller size, under 50ml, products. For #NoBuy January I'm going to post my empties on a weekly basis with mini reviews or I'll get to the end of the month and forget what everything was like! x

    1. I'm sad to be without a few of these, the bodhi oil especially! Hopefully once I've made a dent in what I currently have I can re-buy some of these goodies x

  3. Wow, reading this makes me think that I don't use enough of my products! I hardly actually finish any products apart from the Indie Lee oil I have just a few pumps left!! I love the coconut oil too and I'm still lusting after the ginger & Vanilla NYR cream :) x

    1. I'm starting to think that maybe I use too much as everyone says I use loads haha. Getting paranoid now!
      I loved the coconut oil, such a brilliant all rounder and the ginger & vanilla lotion was really luxurious to use x

  5. I love your empties posts Jen! The variety is fantastic! Now you sold me on bodhi Neroli Lucé Face Oil, I have oily skin and it's not easy to find the appropriate oil but this one sounds great. Peppy Galore products are just lovely, I love the Vanilla body mousse :) xx Liz

    1. Honestly, the neroli luce face oil is amazing. I have combination skin that can get oily towards the middle/end of the day but this oil evened everything out and my skin just looked so much better for it. bodhi sell this in two sizes, a 5ml and a 15ml. I had the 5ml which lasts 2-3 weeks and is a great size to see if it works for you. Let me know how you get on if you do use it! x

  6. Great empties post! I've been using the Nail Wizard Balm for absolutely ages and there's still loads left so congrats for finishing that! I know what you mean with shower gels too - I often finish one that I've really loved but put off repurchasing it for months just to try and give my stash a chance to settle down! x
