I managed to use up 8 products in the month of November. Among the empties are 4 body products 2 hair products and two face products. 7 were full size and 1 was a deluxe sample. The biggest surprise was getting through two bottles of hand soap, though in all fairness one had mostly been used up in October, and the other had about 2/3 left when the month of November began.
Spongellé Botanica Lavender Body Wash Infused Buffer (Was $18.00 from Spongellé): While this particular Body Wash Infused Buffer was limited edition, and is no longer available, there are many different types from which to choose. These buffers with built-in body wash are infused with extracts of yuzu, edelweiss and vetiver root to cleanse, exfoliate, massage, and hydrate the skin for a spa-like pampering experience at home. Purchase Again? It appears that they no longer have this, but I have other scents to use next!
Mrs. Meyer's Compassion Flower Hand Soap ($4.99 for 12.5 oz. and a 3-pack for $13.94 from Amazon, Walmart and Target): is not your typical floral scented hand soap, but instead the aroma is neither too sweet, nor too fragrant. It has a light and delicate floral aroma that is uplifting and understated. This is a very moisturizing hand soap that neither strips the skin, nor leaves behind an oily residue. Instead, it is utter hand soap perfection. Purchase Again? I already opened another bottle!
Mrs. Meyer's Lemon Verbena Hand Soap ($4.99 for 12.5 oz. and a 3-pack for $13.94 from Amazon, Walmart and Target): is a glorious lemon verbena scented hand soap that is cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny Certified. It moisturizes the skin, and leaves the hands very soft and clean without any sort of residue. It has a satisfying lather, a delectable fresh citrus aroma, and it makes washing hands a joy rather than a drab experience. Purchase Again? Yes, forever and ever!
Lovinah Goddess Glow Shimmering Body Oil ($30.00 for 1 oz. from Boxwalla and Lovinah Skincare): This is the shimmering body oil by which all shimmering body oils should be judged. It is a brand new product by Lovihan Skincare, and it is magical. As Boxwalla asserts, "it feels like a perfumed river of gold." It offers skin gorgeously fragrant moisture and its golden shimmer is absolutely gorgeous. I would like to bathe in this masterpiece! Purchase Again? I will buy another bottle this coming summer!
Viori Native Essence Unscented Conditioner ($18.00 for 2.8 oz. from Sephora, Viori and the Viori Amazon Store): This nourishing and emollient conditioner has a light herbal aroma, though there is no added fragrance, and it is both delightful and effective. It detangles hair, fights frizz and leaves hair soft, silky smooth and shiny. It does not weigh hair down or leave behind an oily residue. Purchase Again? I have other bar shampoos and conditioners to use up before I buy any others, but this will be at the top of my list.
Shu Uemura Art of Hair Color Lustre Brilliant Glaze Treatment of Color Treated Hair ($73.00 for oz. from Shu Uemura Art of Hair, Sephora and Amazon): This nourishing treatment mask is very hydrating and nourishing, and it makes hair shiny and manageable. It preserves hair color longer and it can be used weekly for fine hair.
While one only needs to leave this treatment masque on for 2-3 minutes, I prefer to leave it on a bit longer. It deeply nourishes and moisturizes my hair, and leaves it soft, shiny and silky smooth! It's absolutely amazing, and I will promptly buy another jar just as soon as I finish this one. Purchase Again? It is on my wish list!
Go-To Face Hero Facial Oil ($34.00 for 1 oz. from Go-To): Formulated for all types of skin, this face oil is lightweight, fast absorbing and lusciously moisturizing. It has a rich and velvety texture that melts into the skin– leaving it silky smooth, luminous and lightly plumped. Not only does it brighten dull skin, but after sustained use it lightens dark spots. The antioxidant-rich formula helps to protect skin against free-radical damage, and the anti-inflammatory ingredients help to calm and soothe irritable skin. For this reason, I find it particularly effective when my skin is a bit sensitive, or when I use a peel or exfoliant. It has a delectable warm aroma that is informed by the beautiful variety of oils used, but also from the Orange Blossom & Rose Gardenia natural fragrances. Purchase Again? YES!
Curél Intensive Moisture Facial Cream ($22.50 for 1.4 oz. from Amazon): is a richly moisturizing, and yet lightweight and fast-absorbing, fragrance-free cream that is formulated for dry, sensitive skin. While my skin is decidedly normal/combination, this beautiful facial cream offers the perfect amount of moisture without being too rich, or in the least bit greasy. In fact, this cream melts into the skin, has no greasy residue and it leaves my skin soft, smooth and supple. This is a beautifully moisturizing cream that works wonders on my normal/combination skin, and it is very affordable. Purchase Again? Yes!
Overall Assessment: I thoroughly enjoyed using these products in November, and would happily use all of them again! What did you finish up, toss out, give away or return in November? Any great finds or real duds to report?
