A little later than usual but here are my June Empties! I've managed to use up another bunch of products and there are some firm favourites in this particular pile, so let's jump right in!
Barefoot SOS Soothing Face & Body Wash*
If you have dry, sensitive and/or eczema-prone skin, Barefoot SOS is a really great natural skincare brand to look into. This Body Wash is 98% natural, SLS-free and is something that I always reach for when my skin is playing up because it's so gentle. Feels like a light creamy body wash and has a delicate fresh scent. Repurchase? Yes.
Madara Brightening AHA Peel Mask
One of my faves and I highly recommend it to those who are looking for an effective AHA-based exfoliator. Does a brilliant job and always makes my skin look brighter and better after every application. Repurchase? Already have a full size.
Bia Beauty Lemon Myrtle Hand Cream*
This is a beautiful hand cream that smells like lemon sherbert! It has a wonderfully rich texture, but it's not too thick consistency-wise and absorbs into the skin easily without any greasy/sticking feeling. I loved using this before bed. Repurchase? Will do once I've used up some other hand creams.
Leonor Greyl L'Huile de Leonor Greyl*
As my hair is naturally dry, I like to use a deep conditioning treatment at least once a week to keep it hydrated, and L'Huile de Leonor Greyl is one of those cult French beauty products that just works wonders. You only need to use a tiny amount of the oil treatment and apply it an hour or so before shampooing. I'll often leave it on overnight for the best results and I absolutely love the fragrance! Repurchase? Yes.
Conscious Skincare Amyris & Vetiver Organic Body Lotion*
Another product that I fell in love with the scent of was this Amyris & Vetiver Organic Body Lotion from Conscious Skincare - it smells so wonderfully uplifting and comforting. It has a light lotion formula that requires a bit of effort to rub into the skin as it doesn't absorb immediately, but once it does, it's perfect for dry skin. Repurchase? I have too many body lotions open at the moment to justify buying anything new, but I'll definitely consider picking this up again in the future.
REN Flash Hydro-Boost*
Hydro-Boost is an amazing hydrating facial serum that you add a little water to in order to 'activate' it, so I mostly used this in the mornings and it made my skin feel really lovely and plumped up. Great as a base underneath makeup, so much so, that I rarely reached for a primer when I was using this. Repurchase? Yes.
CV Skinlabs Calming Moisture
This is one of the best natural eczema creams that I've ever used, which is really annoying as it's quite expensive and difficult to get hold of in the UK (it's quite a niche US brand). A friend picked up some samples for me when she was in New York last year, but this is sadly the last one! Repurchase? Not unless I can get it for the price in dollars.
ESSE Body Oil*
I'm a big fan of the organic, probiotic skincare brand ESSE and this Body Oil was such a pampering delight to use! It's rich and nourishing, but not greasy and smells incredible. The only downside is that it comes with a hefty price tag and given that's it's only a 100ml bottle, it doesn't last very long at all. Repurchase? Sadly not, it's just too expensive.
Beauty Pro Rejuvenating Collagen Mask
Received this a while ago in a beauty subscription box and I was very surprised by how much I liked it. It's infused with Green Tea extract and has a targeted anti-ageing formula which also balances oily t-zones and hydrates drier areas, so it's perfect for combination skin like mine. Left my face feeling balanced, plumped up and super soft - win win! Repurchase? Yes.
Geo Mitchell Relax Naturally Bath Salts*
Despite featuring a combination of Epsom and Dead Sea Salts as well as essential oils such as Eucalyptus, Lavender, Rosemary and Peppermint, I was very disappointed by these because they just didn't have any scent when they were dissolved into the bath. Repurchase? No.
Organii SPF 50 Sun Milk
This sunscreen has a thin and milky consistency, but once you apply it, it comes across as quite thick which is a bit odd! It leaves a white cast and is on the greasy side, so I wouldn't recommend it as a facial SPF, but for the body, it would be ideal if you're looking for a more natural, higher protection sunscreen. Repurchase? Not sure.
Have you tried any of these? What have you used up recently?
