I've made a fair old dent in my toiletries stash this month, and even managed to finish off a make-up product! I'm trying to slim my stash down a little because of the aforementioned bathroom situation, so it's great to be clearing out so many products - I'm on a real mission to finish off all the half-used products I seem to have acquired...

Might Repurchase: Natural Collection Pressed Powder | I really like this, especially for the bargain price tag! It doesn't look chalky or cakey and works as well as any other drugstore powder I've tried. // Botanics All Bright Cleansing Foam Wash | This isn't up there with the Super Facialist face wash for me, but it is quite nice and it's a right bargain! // Benefit It's Potent! Eye Cream | Not the best eye cream I've ever used, but it's alright. // Dr Organic Manuka Honey Body Wash | This has a very strong, almost sickly honey scent which was a bit too much for me on some days, but I do like the Dr Organic range in general, and it's SLS-free which is a bonus for my eczema! // Forever Living Relaxation Shower Gel | I'm not the world's biggest lover of lavender scents but I did really enjoy this one, it wasn't too overwhelming and made for quite a nice showering experience! It's just a little bit pricey for me, really.
Won't Repurchase: Nivea Sensitive Cleansing Wipes | Sensitive my arse! These didn't half make my face sting, I only really use facewipes for removing my make-up at the gym and I'd always rinse my face afterwards so I used them up, but there's not a chance I'd repurchase. // Percy & Reed Wonder Overnight Recovery | I have to admit that this did leave my hair feeling super silky-soft, which I loved, but I can't get past the smell of it, which really catches my throat somehow. I found the scent lingered in my hair even after I'd washed the product out the next morning, which was a real shame.
Sample Sachets.
I managed to finish a measly one sample sachet this month - poor effort Jess! Still, one is better than none, right!?

Four out of four on my goals, woohoo!
November Loves.
Catherine wrote about her tips for becoming a morning person, which is definitely something I'd like to achieve at some point in my life!
Caitlin reviewed a W7 foundation which is, apparently, a dupe for NARS Luminous Weightless Foundation - I'm feeling a strong need to try it out! Can we also take a moment to appreciate how gorgeous Caitlin's photos are, like, always!?
Hannah shared twelve things to remember when you're on your period - a brilliant and relatable read, reminding us all about the virtues of hot water bottles, cuddly toys and chocolate to help us through that time of the month.
The fabulous Jasmine wrote about her top tips for staying motivated during Autumn & Winter - something I know I struggle with, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Check out her post for some ways to make the most of the dark days!
Here on The Indigo Hours, my favourite posts included my favourite nail polishes for Autumn, and seven things that happen when you start to practice self-care, so do pop over and give those a read if you missed them!
November In Summary.
A busy month but I feel like I've achieved a fair bit - mostly because of finally submitting my application for clinical training, but also including a few fun things too, such as a meal out with my family and seeing Russell Kane for my Mum's birthday at the beginning of the month - which was a fab evening, he was hilarious!
What have you been up to in November? What have you been loving this month?

I can't believe it is December already. Where has the time gone x
ReplyDeleteI know! The year has just run away on us hasn't it!? xo
DeleteI think I need to take a lesson from you and have a clear out of all my half used products. No idea how I manage to keep buying new stuff before I need it and wasting what I already have.
ReplyDeleteLoving all your goal setting too....and you're doing so well with it, amazing that you're getting to the gym every work day, very impressive
Oh it's so satisfying Debbie! Give it a go! xo
DeleteI also found that the Nivea sensitive skin wipes are not good enough! I use the simple ones, they are great. Funnily enough, we've both posted our November review post on the same day with almost the same intro!
ReplyDeleteThey're pants aren't they! I'm really liking the Garnier micellar oil ones at the moment :) xo
DeleteCan you believe it's December?! Some fab empties there - definitely need to try and achieve to use more products til they're totally empty.
ReplyDeleteI know! Where has the year gone!? Thanks Jazmin, it's a great habit to get into haha xo
DeleteWow!! We are almost alike I also have a stash of unfinished beauty products hahahahah. Love the Body Shop butter cream too :-)
ReplyDeleteThey're the best body moisturisers ever aren't they!? xo
DeleteI keep meaning to pick up some W7 foundation as I have heard such good things about it! Also really love the The Body Shop Early Harvest Raspberry Body Butter, I love that scent so much! Well done on finishing and getting through your stash :) xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah! The Early Harvest Raspberry is just beautiful, you could almost eat it haha xo
DeleteIt looks like you did great with your October goals and I bet it feels great ticking them off! I have tried the Nivea wipes too and they make my cheeks really sore! x
ReplyDeleteThanks Jessica, it's so satisfying! Oh no, that's not good, but glad it wasn't just me xo
DeleteFingers crossed you get an acceptance letter for clinical training! Good luck and its great you ticked off so many goals x
ReplyDeleteYou emptied so many products! 😱 November has been flying by for me and I've spent it mainly working and blogging :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with trying to be a morning person. I've tried it so many times and it simply isn't me.
ReplyDeleteLove these kind of posts, what a fab way to round up the month xx
