March Empties: Products I've Used Up

March Empties: Products I've Used Up
March has been a busy month, but here are my latest round of Empties! Most of these are much-loved favourites that many of you will have seen before, with one or two newbies.

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser
I've lost count of how many of these iconic tubes I've gone through over the years, but here's another one! I always have this product in my skincare stash and mainly use it to remove my makeup / as a first cleanse in the evenings. It's thick, creamy and gets rid of every single trace of grime and makeup, including stubborn waterproof formulas. Repurchase? Already have.

Trevarno Organic Rose & Jojoba Soap* (link)
A few years ago, I changed over all of my hand soaps to proper solid soaps to cut down on unnecessary plastic waste, and Trevarno is one of my favourite organic soap brands. They do a range of different scents, and this Rose & Jojoba one smells so beautiful! Best of all, these soaps retain their shape and don't go mushy which is a testament to their overall higher quality, yet they're very affordable and last ages. Repurchase? Will do once I've used some other soaps up.

Odylique Coconut Candy Body Scrub* (link)
I'm a sucker for anything coconut scented and Odylique's Coconut Candy Scrub is a much-loved luxury fave of mine. Not only does it smell heavenly, but it works a treat at removing dull dead skin all over the body without being too harsh or abrasive, and it's a brilliant exfoliator to reach for before you use self-tanning products. Repurchase? On the treat list!

Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Daily Cleansing Pads
I've used these mini sets of Glycolic Pads a few times in the past as I seem to have accumulated a bunch of them via various GWPs and beauty subscription boxes. I like them, but I don't love them as I prefer to use the PIXI Glow Tonic, though these minis do come in handy for travelling with. Repurchase? Not sure.

March Empties: Products I've Used Up
Polaar Hand Cream
Another product that came into my life via a beauty box is this Polaar Hand Cream. It's great for dry hands so came in useful during the Winter months, but I wasn't a fan of the scent sadly so I wouldn't pick it up again. Repurchase? No.

Tropic Lip Fudge Plumping Lip Conditioner(reviewed here)
This was an amazing lip balm! Very nourishing, it was ideal to use before going to bed to seriously hydrate dry lips overnight, whilst also doubling up as a subtle lip plumper for daytime use too. This one was the original untinted version, and I have two other tinted balms from the same range that I'm currently working my way through. Repurchase? Yes.

Bodhi & Birch Flora Paradiso De-Stress Body & Massage Oil(featured here)
If you're looking for a highly indulgent and luxurious body oil, you can't go wrong with anything from Bodhi & Birch who I've been a long time fan of for many years now. Their Flora Paradiso De-Stress Body & Massage Oil is such a pleasure to use (this is my third or fourth bottle) and it smells incredible with essential oils of Lavender, Ylang Ylang and Cedarwood. Repurchase? Another one that's on the treat list!

Madara Micellar Water(link)
I don't use many micellar waters these days, but when I do, it's usually this one from Madara because it contains Hyaluronic Acid and doesn't dry out my skin like a lot of other micellar waters do. It's very gentle and best used to remove lighter makeup formulas rather than stubborn ones, so if you wear a lot of mineral makeup, you'll love it. Repurchase? Probably will.

Valentine's Day Gift Guide 2017 Love Lula
The second and final instalment of my Valentine's Day Gift Guide is here, and this part is dedicated to all the loved up green beauties out there who want to share their passion for natural and organic products. Here are my Green Beauty picks just for you!
JOIK White Chocolate Bath Truffles
 For Bathing Beauties: JOIK White Chocolate Bath Truffles* (310g, pack of 6 bath truffles, £10, link

Looking for a chocolate themed gift with a difference? These luxury bath truffles from JOIK are made from 100% natural ingredients and are loaded with skin softening cocoa butter for an indulgent pampering bathtime experience. Best of all though, they smell just like white chocolate so you can get a guilt-free hit of chocolatey goodness and baby soft skin at the same time. Genius! One truffle is all you need to use per bath making them an affordable way to pamper yourself at home.
GK Natural Creations Himalayan Rose Bath Salts
 For Rose & Spa Lovers: GK Natural Creations Himalayan Rose Bath Salts* (300g, £7.50, link)

If you want to avoid gifting a cliched bouquet of roses, but still want something that includes this romantic flower, why not try these bath salts from GK Natural Creations instead. You'll find dried Rose petals mixed with Pink Himalayan Salt crystals which are infused with essential oils of Lavender, Rose Geranium and Grapefruit for a relaxing, spa-like bath. I've been really enjoying using these to help me unwind after a long stressful day and they smell beautiful.
Balm Balm Single Note Eau de Parfum in Petitgrain
 For Natural Perfume Fans: Balm Balm Single Note Eau de Parfum in Petitgrain* (33ml, £22, link)

Last month I raved about how much I'd been loving the single note perfumes from Balm Balm in Ylang Ylang and Mandarin, and on the recommendation of the lovely Sandra from Beauty Balm, I decided to pick up another one in Petitgrain. All of these single note fragrances are just that - a pure and simple perfume that features just one high quality organic essential oil, and you can then layer them with others in the range to create your own individual fragrance or wear them alone and enjoy the natural simplicity of a single note. Petitgrain is an uplifting and relaxing woody fragrance with a hint of citrus. Very versatile and great for everyday.   
Trevarno Organic Handmade Soap Collection
 For Those Who Simply Love High-Quality Soap: Trevarno Organic Handmade Soap Collection* (375g, pack of 5 soaps, £19, link

Solid soap bars are having something of a comeback moment as more and more consumers demand less wasteful and unnecessary packaging from the products that they buy. I've always been a fan of good old-fashioned soap, especially for using to wash my hands with as I feel it sort of defeats the object of cleanliness if your dirty hands are fiddling around with a plastic container that has a pump that decides to stop working after three uses. No thanks, just give me a bar of soap instead and I'll be happy! Introduce someone to the eco-friendly world of soap with this organic handmade collection from Trevarno. Inside, they'll find five SLS-free soaps (Propolis, Lavender & Geranium, Rose & Jojoba, Calendula, and Chamomile), which have all been made with pure and natural ingredients.  
LoveLula Beauty Box
For Subscription Box & Sample Addicts: LoveLula Beauty Box* (£12.50 per month including UK postage, link)

For the gift that keeps on giving, how about a LoveLula beauty box subscription? Each month, your recipient will receive a box packed full of organic and natural beauty products from a vast range of brands that LoveLula stocks on their website. Pictured above are the contents of last month's January beauty box which contained Balm Balm Face Balm (full size), Laidbare Pack Your Bags Eye Cream (full size), REN EverCalm Day Cream (15ml travel size), John Masters Organics Evening Primrose Shampoo (60ml travel size), and Apple & Bears Body Silk (50ml travel size). The overall value of the box was £37 making it a great value for money option for green beauty fans looking to try out some new products.

*All of the gifts above are available from LoveLula.com and have been personally chosen by myself as part of the LoveLula Blogger Program.
