Lately I have been going through things like crazy and that means another 'empties' post for my blog. Some of these I have done a proper review on and I won't stop on them for too long.

Dove Essential Nourishment Hand Cream is a pretty plain hand cream full of chemicals. Although I didn't enjoy it much I used it up and it took me quite some time. I was expecting a deep nourishment from it, but it did nourish my hands only temporarily. This is definitely a product your hands could get addicted to and I mean it in a bad way. It is so bad that Dove doesn't want to put ingredients on their webpage.

Marc Jacobs Daisy In The Air is a simply divine perfume. It is fresh, floral but in a delicate way. And can we please talk about the bottle? It would decorate anybody's beauty table! I did a full review on it for a while ago.

AEOS Refreshing Hydrating Mist is an organic face mist full of biodynamic essential oils, plant extracts and real gems and crystals. It smells light, floral and super energising! It has been a huge relief for me on hot humid days when I needed a refreshment. My skin was always so soft, glowing and comfortable afterwards. Even though it is quite pricey it is a huge good quality glass bottle you can't miss out on.

Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Smoky Eyes Macara was a mascara I thought would be good. Instead it was just average. I have seen worse, but also have seen better! It flaked on me pretty bad after a long day and the tube died out pretty fast. Huge plus was blackness of it and quite big brush which gets lashes voluminous with few strokes.

Clayspray Hydrate H20 Spray Mineral Water is mineral rich mountain spring water that treats skin with instant moisture. I used it with my Clayspray clay mask, but I ran out of this spray before I even got finished with my mask bottle. It did feel very good and relieving on skin! I also have a full review on this water spray.

Circaroma Replenishing Hand Cream, so this is a hand cream you can call a real hand cream! It is perfect to achieve permanently soft and smooth hands. It has so much goodness in it and smells just like wild rose flowers. More on this cream is available in my review on it.

Viridian Clear Skin Complex is natural organic supplements that supposed to be good for any skin problems from acne, eczema, aging, pigmentation etc. It has a lot of good probiotic bacteria in it along with much needed minerals, antioxidants and omegas. I didn't notice tremendous difference in my skin, but I did notice a lot more toxins getting out of my system and digestion getting better when using it. I would definitely use it again when I need to cleanse.

I featured this wonder product recently in my skincare favourites. It is de Mamiel Summer Facial Oil that is one of four de Mamiel's wonder oils. I have almost run out of it as I used tinier samples size of this oil and decided it is right time to talk about it more than just in few sentences.

Creator of de Mamiel skincare, Annee de Mamiel has learned Chinese medicine and combines her knowledge into skincare: "I have tried to capture the freshness of life in the summer and the joy of this season. I wanted to create the smell of mid-summer, when the heat comes off the land and there are wild flowers and herbs perfuming the air".

This moisture-rich facial oil is designed to protect and brighten complexion during the summer months. The positive and uplifting blend of essential oils is cheerful, warmly comforting and perfect for summer days and nights. de Mamiel Summer Facial Oil contains ingredients that will look after skin that is “in bloom” during the summer months.  They will bring optimum levels of moisture to the skin, help protect the skin from overexposure to the sun or sensitivities brought on by the season with anti-inflammatory and regenerating properties, and boost your complexion to a rosy glow, giving your skin all its needs before the slowing down of the autumn approaches.

The oil has so much active ingredients, including May Chang, Rosemary, Lemon, Geranium Roseum, Jasmine Sambac, Seabuckthorn Extract, Borage, Blueberry Seed and Kiwi, all for the health and wellbeing of the skin.  My take on it matches exactly with the description of the product. Annee de Mamiel really has done a skin care revolution with these seasonal oils and this particular Summer Facial Oil. It feels so good and comforting on skin, doesn't feel it oily or uncomfortable afterwards. Scent of it will do favours for the overall wellbeing and whenever you apply the tiniest amount of this concentrated facial oil you will see results within moments. Skin is much more calmer, clearer, smoother and has a natural flush to it. I love it especially right after the shower and before going to the bed. Wonders are happening during the night, as in the morning skin is much more calmer, clearer, smoother and has a natural flush to it.

Oil based cleansers have finally earned their position in the world of face cleansers and I can't be more happier about. There has been many wrong misunderstandings and beliefs when it comes to oil based cleansers, but seems like now people are more aware of these. Oil based cleansers and products in general are not bad for oily or imbalanced skin as long as right products have been chosen. When you use good and right oils for your skin type results can be miraculous!

I had the opportunity to try out Helena Lane Balancing Skin Set with little tiny travel sizes of skin care products in it. Going on with the cleansers route Helena Lane Lavender & Lime Cleanser is my favourite from the whole set. 

I had the opportunity to try out three tea sample packs of Marble & Milkweed teas that hold quite much of a product inside. I got more than couple tea cups out of ever pack from set so I got to decide which one is my favourite. And oh how good all these three were!

I really like teas and I am always observing/browsing through tea isles when I am in different shops. More than anything I love natural loose teas, because I believe it it healthier and you can get more goodness out of it. It is actually not hard or inconvenient to use loose teas at all- I love the process itself and it is making the whole tea drinking experience wonderful.

Depending on the tea you get about 1tbsp of tea, put it in your cup and pour hot (not simmering) water on it, let it steep and then strain it with special loose tea strainer or regular little strainer you have in your kitchen.

MARBLE & MILKWEED GREEN GLOW ELIXIR

Even though I loved each and every one of these teas and every teas has its own time, place and purpose, this one has to be my favourite from all three!
This tea is available in here.

Cold weather can be harsh on everybody's hands. I have found my perfect cure for dry, shaken up hands. I use it especially on times like this when cold weather, dry air of central heating are damaging my hands. For instance I had flaky and red hands exactly one year ago and regular hand creams didn't cure it at all.

I was pretty desperate until I found this amazing most nourishing organic hand cream by Circaroma. It is their award winning Replenishing Hand Cream with Rose Flower.

It comes in fancy glass jar which isn't best solution for using on the go, but most certainly feel luxurious ob your bed night stand or bathroom cabinet. Speaking of the cream I wouldn't recommend using it on the day time, just because it is extremely nourishing and rich. I apply it just before going to bed and and every time can always be sure that I wake up with most softest and smoothest hands ever.

I need just tiniest amount as little goes very long way. It smells divine when you like organic and natural scents. The scent of it is exactly like wild roses that are very comforting before sleepy time. Cream sinks in effortlessly and lathering it on is very therapeutic due to nourishing feel and lovely smell of this cream.

Little bit of facts about this heavenly hand cream. This is voted as 'Best hand cream' in the 21st Century Beauty Bible (Fairley & Stacey 2004) and winning over other leading brands.

Circaroma's Replenishing Rose Hand Cream has also won 'Best Hand Cream' in the Natural Health Beauty Awards 2008. The Natural Health judges said that the Replenishing Rose Hand Cream is 'easily absorbed without leaving a greasy residue'. And I couldn't agree more!

It contains rose flowers, precious oils of rose attar, deeply aromatic patchouli, rose geranium, jojoba oil that provides softest skin ever and also blend with damask rose water. Using it you feel like you get exactly what it promises, no questions asked.
