Saturday Empties Extravaganza & LE Chatter 12/12/15

Disclosure: There are no affiliate links in this email. I tend to not use them in the Saturday Empties post.

This is a  weekly feature mainly because I do not want to keep empties in my house for a month! Email your empties pictures to me at subbellaboxes at yahoo  dot com. Don’t be shy!

 

I had great plans last night to post the empties post and one more review! My 7 year old had other plans last night. Murphy law had other plans for me today.

 

Here are Kelly’s empties!

I used eye patches for about 15 minutes, patches annoy me, so I tossed them, to heck with the wrinkles.
Another miss was organic rose water from a swap, which had big hairy mold creature floating in it. blech, thankfully I never used it.
I did find a new HG item, bath melts from Forget me not soaps at local craft fair. The soap scraps are Lush scentenary, Whipped Upp Black raspberry vanilla, and black walnut scrub soap from J & k soaperie.
Sub Bella – My New Year Resolution is to try out the companies that Kelly recommends. I LOVE the blue bowl!

The cat was too busy bird watching to pose.

Sub Bella: The kitty is adorable. I am in awe of the green foliage.

It was a busy week! Good thing because I need to use up my natural beauty products.

Minu Conditioner x2
Minu Conditioner x2

Davines Minu Conditioner Foil x2: I used both conditioner foils that I received from my recent Birchbox Sample Packs. It is color-safe and works great in my hair.

 

Aquapage
Aquapage Curl Defining Creme

Aquapage Curl Defining Creme Travel Size: I used this during the college tour in November. I had some leftover and accidentally used it as a conditioner. I was wondering why the conditioner felt thick! Have you ever picked up a product thinking it was something else?

 

F
Hylunia Facial Cleansing Gel

Hylunia Facial Day Gel Deluxe Sample: The gel worked great with my face. I had no skin issues whatsoever. I received this in the Vegan Cuts Facial Box.

 

Super Salve
Super Salve

The Super Salve: I received this in the Herbal Bliss August Box. I used it on a bee sting and was impressed. I used most of the stick on my hip. It has relieved the pain from the osteoarthritis and given me back full movement in my hip area. What works for me may not work for you. I already ordered a replacement.

 

Pelle Beauty Stellar Oil
Pelle Beauty Stellar Oil

Pelle Beauty Stellar Beauty Oil travel size: I love Pelle Beauty products. You can read all about my Pelle Beauty love here. I think this bottle is my last one! I love both Stellar and Luxe oils. They are on my Christmas wish list.

 

Giovanni
Giovanni 2 Chic Conditioner

Giovanni 2 Chic Conditioner: I used the conditioner when I needed well-behaved hair. I found that it worked best for me when I saved it for those occasions instead of using it often.

 

ETA:

Pumpkin Ginger Glow Scrub
Pumpkin Ginger Glow Scrub

Brown Butter Beauty Pumpkin Ginger Glow Sugar ScrubThe scrub had a fresh pumpkin scent to it. It had great scrubbing action. The oils absorbed well into the skin. The sugar scrub is from the November Herbal Bliss Box.

 

Thank you Kelly for providing an LE picture. We love looking at pictures!

Please find attached my photo for not so subless Sunday with 4 deliveries this week! (My apologies for messy home office.)
My favorite box is PSMH for him, our college bound 17 year old will get the Esperos satchel and bacon rub, oldest son, the socks, hubby the Woolrich throw, and my malt scotch loving uncle, the toothpicks. I have The moscow mug and money clip up for swap.

The PSMH for her was a miss, the only item I’m keeping is headband. The rest is swap bait.

The Zoe Box was “meh”, I loved the crystal hair clip and traded for another one. :0) I’m keeping the foot petal thingies, hair mask, wipes and leopard cards, and the rest is on swap board.

The Luxor holiday box was very nice, I love the silver leopard clutch and bracelet. Tatcha makes me breakout, so hi-ho, hi-ho, it’s off to the swaps it goes. Also the catchall and date book, because I won’t use them.

Last, but not least is I was happy to receive my custom order of laundry soap and whipped soap parfait from J & k soaperie, and her sister shop, The Cleaning fairy. Thank you Subsistahs, Subbruddahs too.

 

Sub Bella – Thank you, Kelly! What mess? I wish my home office looked that good 🙂 We all want to see a picture of the silver Luxor clutch!!! Send it to me if you want. I will include it in the Luxor review.

 

 What LE/Holiday Boxes/One Time Purchases did you received? We want to know! 

 

and of course…

      Kelly, if that’s what you call a mess, then I am hanging my head in shame. Extreme messy shame.

        It’s a well cropped photo, this is a no shame zone.

          Amen to that Subista sista!

    Do we have any subbrojitos?? They’ve very quiet if so. I shall stop referring to our constituents as “ladies”.

    Sub Bella, you have me more and more convinced to get the salve. Sold. Getting my CC now for PSMH and salve.

      A few subbrojitos. Though we are all confident enough that being lumped in with the “ladies” is taken as a compliment!

      • December 13, 2015 at 4:22 pm

        I got in trouble for calling all of my students “guys” while I was student teaching. I still call people “guys” and don’t feel it is sexist. It’s just slang name for a group of people. I like your confidence, and shall instead say “ladies and laddies” =D

        • December 13, 2015 at 7:21 pm

          I used to say “you guys” all the time.

          This is where being southern has its advantages. I used y’all pretty much exclusively when I taught. I think my students went from finding it delightfully colorful (I taught “up north”), to being increasingly annoyed by how often I said it, to eventually just accepting it and tuning it out.

    So much to say… 1. This blog has lots of activity for a Sunday today – I need to catch up!

    2. Kelly, good empties, great pictures, awesome LE boxes! No shame zone. <3

    3. Sub Bella, you are the queen of empties & an inspiration! The group photo had a pumpkin ginger sugar scrub but I didn't see an individual photo or commentary – is that the one from Nov Herbal Bliss? I just got my box yesterday – so excited!

    4. That PSMH for Her is totally growing on me as I read more reviews… I almost want to buy it. But I really have box envy of the Luxor LE box – my wallet is glad it sold out! I also want the Yuzen LE Holiday box and the winter FabFitFun. Not sure how much longer my willpower will last!

    5. Love subbrojitos! 🙂

    • December 13, 2015 at 7:29 pm

      The one time I don’t count my items to see if they match the group picture! Thank you for catching it. It was a rough day 🙁 It is from the Nov Herbal Bliss. I am glad you like your box!
