hey guys welcome to planning with crystal so today's video is may favorites may time already
so it's favorites and empties and i've got an awful lot of empties this month some of which
are also favorites of mine hence why they're now empty so let's talk through them all so i seem to
have three cleansers that are empty this month in a way it doesn't surprise me because i do rotate
cleansers i do sometimes double cleanse so i guess it makes sense to run out at the same time so the
first one's by ren and it's the perfect canvas clean jelly oil cleanser it's 100 ml or 3.3
fluid ounces retails at 25 pounds love it this has got to be one of my absolute favorite cleansers
it's a kind of balm feeling but like a soft gel balm you massage it into the skin dry then you
add water to emulsify it and it's just lovely it leaves the skin just feeling soft it smells nice
it's got like oils and things into it leaves nice oils on your skin but doesn't feel oily afterwards
it's just one of my absolute favorites so i've got another one now this has ran out to use um
yeah it's just fabulous and ren ren's products are super effective and stuff anyway i actually
did a whole review on this product because i love it so put a card here if you want to see
a little bit more about this see me using it etc and you can actually save 10 pounds as well with
ren using my link under the video you get 10 pound off your first order of 30 pounds or more
so if you do want to give this or one of their other products a try then you might as well make
use of that carrying on the cleanser front a drunk elephant cleanser this is the slate makeup melting
butter cleanser so it comes in a tub and it is literally a hard kind of balm and you can see
obviously none left so this lasts a really long time it's unscented which i really like because
it doesn't cause any sensitivities you can use it on your eyes and everything and it removes
makeup spf cleanses the skin it does it all i also love that the lid is magnetic and comes with this
little scoop um and that is so that you can scoop out the cleanser without having to like get your
fingers in and get it all dirty and stuff just a gorgeous product this is 110 grams or 3.88 ounces
and i'll put the price and stuff on the screen just fabulous love it so definitely recommend it
it also comes with some bamboo beads i think they are so they're basically biodegradable
physical exfoliation beads like almost like a really really fine dust
so you mix it with this and it turns it into an exfoliator so it's really like that dual
use kind of product and a little goes a long way another absolute favorite love it finally another
cleanser and this is the sunday riley ceramic slip cleanser and it's a 5 fluid ounce or 150 ml size
this is just another great one so super gentle yet super effective you again put it on dry skin then
you add water remove it with a cloth or just with water i like to remove them all with a cloth so
these three you do use in a similar way but this one isn't like a gel texture it's more like um
a light lotion texture brilliant another brilliant one though really like it especially if you're
suffering from any breakouts or oiliness this really sorts that out and again lasts a really
long time so it's awesome my favorite micellar water the bioderma sensibo h2o for face and eyes
so this um i think i've spoken about before in a favorites video but it's now empty so
i'm including it in my empties this is the 500ml big bottle i actually got the hydration version
of this which is like the blue one that came in my okay beauty box for april i think it was or may i
can't remember now but i'll put a card here if you want to see which video it came in don't actually
like that as much now i've been using it it's not quite as gentle as this one which is the sensitive
one this is just my favorite thing for removing eye makeup it just feels like water yep takes
everything off brilliant and doesn't dry out your eye area or anything so it's my absolute favorite
then one of my moisturizers run out and it's again her favorite
it's my drunk elephant proteiny polypeptide cream this is just a super light it comes in a pump see
there's nothing left oh there's tiny bits coming out but it's like a super light gel moisturizer
that just sinks into the skin just leaves it feeling hydrated and glow it doesn't add any
oiliness or slip to it so i can quite comfortably put my makeup on after it without a primer
and the makeup isn't going to go everywhere a little goes a long way with it as well
and i love the packaging of these because it's an airtight pump you're never putting your fingers in
the cream itself you're just pushing on that and it comes up through there when it's not empty
then my final empty before i get on to my actual specific favorites for may and this is the
pharmacy green defense daily mineral sunscreen spf 30 it's 1.7 fluid ounces or 50 mils i actually got
this on holiday in the us which must have been a year or two ago now um because i can't find this
in the uk even though the self pharmacy at cold beauty i can't find this product it just doesn't
seem to be available so yeah i liked it because it was just a nice physical sunscreen worked well
looked like nothing on the skin and i really liked it but no i can't get another one because
it's only available in the us so if in the us you can definitely get this however in my favorites i
have actually identified another sunscreen that i really rate that is super duper affordable
and it's this one by garnier it's the ambra solar spf 50 but this particular one is the anti-dryness
one so it's nice and hydrating as well um and it just says protection cream with glycerin and it's
hypoallergenic non-greasy etc it's just brilliant so this retails at six pounds in the uk if you can
get it because it regularly sells out um caroline hiron spoke about it which is how i was introduced
to it and then it just sold out everywhere originally when they first brought it out they
were actually offering it at three pounds for this full size but then as soon as it was announced and
became popular it went up to full price which is six pounds still super reasonable so this
is a 58 mil size and i just love it especially with it being an spf 50 the fact that it just
goes into the skin as well as it does and just doesn't leave a white cast or anything
just doesn't look like anything once it's on the skin makeup goes on top of it really well and i
can't get over how well priced it is and how it just doesn't cause irritation so i sometimes get
really sort of red patches on my neck like eczema and stuff and a lot of sunscreens even really good
ones can irritate it there's something in i don't know what it is but there's something
in sunscreen that seems to irritate it makes it itch but then you're like well i need to
put sun cream on protect myself from the sun this doesn't irritate anything this is just fantastic
brilliant love it and six pounds amazed then i've got a couple of products that i actually got in a
beauty box this month or a lifestyle subscription box and that was the pomelo box so i unboxed that
for the first time recently and i'll put a card here if you haven't seen that unboxing and there's
two products in that box that just really stood out for me they just blew me away and i've been
using them ever since so one of them is by betty hula which is not a brand i've discovered before
this is the nourishing antibacterial hand moisturizer in lime and mango perfect for
sensitive skin and it's 150 ml or 5.1 fluid ounce now this is a revelation i didn't even
know products like this existed so it's in a big pump bottle like this although you can get it in
like smaller sizes it just looks like a light hand lotion so it's not like a thick hand cream it is
just like a light hand lotion but what makes this super special as well as the fact that it smells
so gorgeous and fresh and just delightful is the fact that it's actually a kind of hand sanitizer
so it's actually got antibacterial properties just like a hand sanitizer so you can apply this
instead of your hand sanitizer so your hands just feel super soft because i don't know about you but
when i have gone out every shop you go in you put hand sanitizer on i'm surprised my hands haven't
fallen off i've applied that much hand sanitizer this is a really lovely sort of alternative
to sort of just use to moisturize your hands but you're still sanitizing them so it's it's
absolutely fantastic love it so i've just been grabbing that every month i've kept it
on my desk and i just love it another product from that box that i'm gonna rave to you about
is this again from a brand i didn't know before so these boxes are great at introducing you to
some new independent uk based brands this is by my botanic studio and i'll put links for
everything underneath and this is the tsubaki blue non-comediogenic and it's like a oil but
it's not like an oil it is an oil so it's actually got um little bits and pieces in there like little
flower buds and things so it's just a super lightweight oil again a little goes a long way
and this apparently is what the geishas use on their skin and they have fantastic skin but it
just sinks into the skin and it is so hydrated so lovely it just feels like it's mending the skin
it's making it all soft it's making it glowy and it's super affordable i think this retails
like 11 pounds something i put the price on the screen it's just brilliant it's got passion flower
it's got thistle it's got tsubaki in there it's honestly it's an absolute find and this
is in a 15 mil size just gorgeous gorgeous products and it smells lovely as well
just lovely and then finally for my favorites this month is this product by elmis and it's the pro
collagen marine moisture essence anti-wrinkle hydrating essence and it's 100 ml or 3.3 fluid
ounces so this is pricey but it's really good so it's an essence so you kind of put it on your skin
before you go in with your serums or your moisturizers it's kind of like a first step
after cleansing and toning if you want to tone or you can skip the tone and just do this and this it
is basically a really light weight liquid but it's slightly thicker than your average liquid i've
just put a little bit on here now you literally just need three drops of this and you can do all
of your face and all of your neck and what it does is it just adds a mega shot of hydration
but looks like there's nothing on it's like you've put nothing on but your face is and your neck and
everything is just really really hydrated and it just makes everything else sinking really well and
you literally need three tiny drops so i've had this now for over a month and it's up to there i
don't know if you can see it but i've barely used any so it should last probably about five or six
months using it daily or twice a day it really is just the tiniest amount needed so i've really
been enjoying that and finally in my favorites you may have seen me talking a little bit about this
um on my channel recently and it's my everyday carrie this is just um a moleskin car hair which i
sort of painted myself all it is is a little book that i keep with me i write everything down and it
helps me to remember things yes you could use your phone for it but this kind of new analog
way of doing it has just been so satisfying i've forgotten a lot less i've got a lot more done and
i've just really enjoyed it so i also did an unboxing of field notes i signed up to their
subscription they are one of the best known um brands for making little notebooks like this these
like fit in your pocket they're five and a half by five and a half inches or something like that and
they're just a brilliant size super lightweight love it so i wouldn't be without one of these
now this is my everyday carry so i'll put my field notes video here if you want to learn a little bit
more about the subscription and a little bit about more about their products so as usual the video
is not sponsored or anything these are all just things that i have found this month and i've been
loving i will put links for everything underneath some of the links will be affiliate links which
