Hello, hello and Happy New Year!
Here’s my final round of empties for 2019 – I didn’t quite finish up as much as I had hoped by the end of the year, but progress is progress when it comes to using up products from my stash rather than wasting them.
As you all probably know, I’m on a low-buy, so if I say I’ll purchase or re-purchase, it means that this product is something that I plan to eventually get once I use up all of that product type in my stash. Let’s take a closer look:
The Ordinary Serum Foundation – This was my second bottle of this foundation. I really like the lightness of serum foundations. I would purchase this one again. Currently using the Juice Beauty serum foundation which I like a lot! Original reviews are here and here.
Native Deodorant in Hibiscus and Mint – I’ve been using various scents of this deodorant for well over a year now. And have two in my stash right now (one regular and one sensitive formulation). I’ll likely re-purchase since it works for me, unless I end up trying something that I like even more. Original review here.
Juice Beauty Green Apple Brightening Gel Cleanser – I love this cleanser, and would buy again for sure. I initially had a sample size from Petit Vour and loved it so much that I bought that full size. Currently have loads of cleansers in my stash, so probably won’t buy for perhaps six months! Review is here.
Luxe Botanics Camu Brightening Moisturizer – This came in a recent Petit Vour box. Loved it. I would purchase a full size if I wasn’t already trying to finish up several moisturizers and face creams. Review is here.
Evolvh Ultimate Styling Lotion – This is my second sample sized bottle. The first was from Petit Vour and this one was a PR sample. It works well for my hair for both wavy and smooth styling. Helps tame frizz without weighing my hair down. I would buy a full size if I ever manage to use up my stash of styling lotions and creams. Review is here.
I’m in the process of doing a massive makeup declutter – so expect a post on that soon!
Thanks for reading,
Disclosure: This post contains mostly products that have been purchased by me, and one PR sample identified above.
a brash attitude 
I’ve been a fan of the ordinary products for awhile, but have never tried their foundation! How is the coverage?

And it doesn’t irritate my underarms like some other natural deodorants!

There is a detox process for some people when they switch from antiperspirant to deodorant. I wrote a blog post about it ages ago. I’ll link to it in a second…

This one is light to medium, the other foundation I believe is medium to full.

Okay light to medium is nice though for days when you don’t want to have a full face!

I’ll be sure to look into the ordinary serum foundation because I emptied my bare minerals serum foundation in December too and I really liked it. I just want to try something else and this one sounds great lol
I also need to find the native deodorant because the schmidt’s one didnt work, or, it isnt working as well.
It might not have been a lot but you still emptied something! That always counts towards progress

Have you been trying natural deodorants for very long? Some people go through a detox process where you will sweat more at first. Native has free shipping!
