I am pleased to report that I finished up 5 full-size products in November, but somehow thought that I would finish up a few more skincare products than I did, but I think there will be a couple more in my December Empties post. I absolutely loved everything that I finished up in November, and will definitely repurchase everything that you see here, if not immediately, then in the future.

Emma Lewisham Illuminating Oil Face Cleanser ($48.00 for 115 ml. from Emma Lewisham, goop and Harrod's): This is a true revelation in cleansing the face. The tactile and sensory experience alone makes using this cleanser peerless, in my estimation. You simply apply 1-2 pumps to dry skin and massage it for 45-60 seconds. Slow down and deeply inhale to experience its uplifting citrus aroma and feel the silky smooth texture of this ultra-luxurious oil. Once dirt, debris and makeup are loosened, then simply add warm water with your fingers and behold the way in which this oil transforms into a milky and creamy emulsion. Rinse with warm water and revel in the fact that skin is thoroughly clean, soft, smooth, supple, hydrated, luminous and free of any oily residue. Purchase Again? Without question, this is an utterly amazing cleansing oil! 
Blüh Alchemy Active Relief Body Oil ($68.00 for 4 oz. from BLÜH ALCHEMY and Beauty Heroes): This is a truly divine body oil contains anti-inflammatory and healing ingredients such as Copaiba Oleoresin, Hinoki, Arnica and Tulsi. This combination of ingredients creates a highly nourishing oil that leaves skin soft, smooth, supple, hydrated and luminous. The lightweight silky texture melts into damp skin immediately. This is a truly extraordinary body oil made in a base of cold pressed Rice bran, Camelia, Tamanu & Sesame oils. This luscious oil is formulated, "to lock moisture into skin, to improve skin tone & soothe overworked muscles. It integrates cell nourishing fatty acids, phytoceramides & powerful antioxidants with herbs used in plant medicine for centuries." Ingredients such as Copaiba oleoresin, Hinoki wood oil, distilled from the Japanese Cypress tree, Peru Balsam, Vanilla, Tulsi and a tiny amount of Patchouli, create a warm and creamy aroma that soothes the spirit. This gorgeous oil is cruelty-free, it smells delectable and it a pure joy in a bottle. Purchase Again? Yes, it is definitely worth the splurge, and the bottle lasts a very long time!

Trader Joe's Lavender Chamomile Hand Soap ($3.99 for 17 oz. from Trader Joe's):If you are a Trader Joe's shopper, you have no doubt discovered some amazing and affordable finds that are repeat purchases. For me, their hand soaps are among my favorite products to purchase in multiples. At only $3.99 for 17 oz., these luxurious feeling and delightfully aromatic hand soaps are guilt-free purchases that never feel frivolous, and always feel luxurious.
If you are sensitive to aromatic hand products, and prefer unscented or fragrance-free, then you will want to skip these. However, if the thought of a lovely and lavender chamomile scent sounds perfect for you, then Trader Joe's Lavender Chamomile Hand Soap is a wonderful choice! It produces a satisfying lather, and yet it neither strips, nor dries out the hands. The potential pungency of the lavender is tempered by the chamomile, and it is uplifting, pleasant and delightful. Hands are left soft, nourished and lightly hydrated. Purchase Again? On my next trip to Trader Joe's!
Bisous de Province Lavande Triple Milled Soap ($3.99 for 7 oz. from Trader Joe's): As you know by now, I am a huge fan of the French Milled soaps at Trader Joe's, and if you are a fan of lavender, then the Bisous de Provence Lavender Triple Milled Soap from Trader Joe's is an absolute must-have. At $3.99 for a 7 oz. bar, this French soap lasts a very long time. The lavender aroma is really beautiful without being overpowering, and it is such a joy to use. This 100% pure vegetable bar is enriched with shea butter, and it is filled with lavender flowers that serve as a gentle exfoliant. It is paraben-free and it is free of artificial colors. Purchase Again? It's at the top of my grocery list! I will buy this soap as long as they sell it!
milk_shake leave-in conditioner in flower fragrance ($28.00 for 11.8 oz. from milk_shake and their Amazon Store): I use leave-in conditioners every single day– I use them after I wash my hair and even on days when I don't since a good leave-in conditioner keeps my hair manageable and hydrated. This lovely leave-in detangles, offers my hair lasting hydration, and fights frizz and leaves my hair soft and shiny. It has a wonderful fragrance that is delectable and intoxicating, but if you don't use fragrant hair products, this one might not be for you. However, the aroma isn't imposing or distracting. It is formulated for all types of hair. Purchase Again? I just opened a new bottle! 
Overall Assessment: I managed to finish up 5 full-size products in November, and I felt very satisfied recycling those containers. I thought that I would use up more skincare products, but I suspect I will finish up a few more next month. What did you use up, toss out, give away or return in November? Any brilliant finds or disappointing duds to report?
