iherb haul #4



I know that I have a problem, I buy from iherb way too often and I need to stop so this one will best the last iherb haul for a while, since unfortunately the Australian dollar isn't doing very good so I had to pay quite a bit extra :( Anyhoo on with the haul :)

Some of the products I got from iherb :)












1) Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps, Organic Shaving Gel
scent: Lemongrass Lime size: 207 ml

I love those gillette venus shavers with the shaving bar but recently I saw the ingredients on them and wow it has some really nasty ingredients so I will not be repurchasing them.  Anyway that's the reason why I got these 2 shaving creams because I wanted to try them out see if they are good not just for my legs but my underarms since my underarms are ridiculously sensitive and I like a proper close smooth shave. Love that this is usda organic!!


2) Aubrey Organics, Creme de la Shave, Toasted Almond
size:  4 fl oz (118ml)

So I just wanted to give this one a go too, hotter weather is coming soon so I wanted to try 2 shaving creams in case one wasn't good for whatever reason. I've actually have never used a shaving cream or gel I usually use oil or the bar that comes on razors but they aren't cutting it for me so it's time to trade up. 






colour: black size: 0.26 oz (7.5 g)

I've bought 2 of the other Physician's formula mascaras and I haven't opened them yet but I heard nice things about this mascara on a video of  iluvjesse444. With the dollar being really crap at the moment I'm not sure when I will buy again from iherb so I really wanted to get this so I can try it out. 



size: 4.25g

These lip balms are so cheap (85 cents) and are usda organic which is great and I love the smell of cocoa butter so I really wanted to get this because of that. I actually don't have many lip balms with cocoa butter so I'm glad I got it. I didn't "need" it as I do have many, many, many back-ups but I go through lip balms like crazy, and it's 85 cents!!!



size: 4.25g

This was the free gift I decided to choose which you get when you buy from iherb and I just love lip balms and I am excited to try this out since the only other honey lip balm I have tried is the burt's bees one which is nice on the lips but smells bad in my opinion-a very floral smell, which I hate!!



Flavour: Highland Mint   Size: 21g

I got this to use as a lip balm because I love badger company and it was so cheap when you think about it, since an average lip balm is 4.25g and is anywhere from 85 cents to $4 for one lip balm,  under $4 for 21 grams of product is really great!! I've got so many lip balms it's ridiculous but I do go through them pretty quickly so that's my excuse.To be honest the little lip balm pot isn't my favourite packaging because of the  unhygienic finger dipping in the product then you also are always wasting a bit because some is always left over on your finger.






7) Aubrey Organics, Natural Missst Herbal Hairspray, Super Hold
size: 8 fl oz (237 ml)

I'm glad that I got the regular hold because of it being usda organic but I also wanted a super hold one in case I needed it and to see the difference or if there is a difference and if they are good to repurchase or if I can get away with just choosing one next time. I got the hairspray specifically for when I curl my hair, as I want to buy a better curling wand and the most annoying this about curling my hair is it never lasts for very long so I hope this will stretch it out, maybe to the next day?



8) Aubrey Organics, NuStyle Organic Hairspray, Regular Hold 
size: 5 fl oz (148 ml)

 I was really happy and surprised that this was usda organic, I am so psyched to try it, I have never tried a natural hairspray but I really wanted one since I hate conventional hairsprays because I believe that they are highly toxic and I never want to use another one ever again!!!





9) Beautiful Curls, Shea Butter Curl Defining Gel, Wavy to Curly
size:  8 fl oz (235 ml)

My hair is very, very, very long just above my butt so styling it is quite annoying and naturally my hair is wavy so I love to accentuate that and I thought this would be good to try for that as well as for summer, so I'm really excited to try it. Hopefully I don't get crunchy curls with this- yuck!!!




10) Honeybee Gardens JobaColors Lip Liner
size: 4.25g colour: Zen

I've been trying to find a nice natural looking lip liner colour, something not too dark or bright because for one thing  I am very pale and want it to got with a nude or natural lip colour. Anyway my bottom lip at the sides the colour like fades out so it makes my lips look a little smaller than what they are so I wanted to get a lip liner so I could fix that. Really good price too.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS: It looks quite dark on the pencil but it isn't, it's a really natural colour on the lips which I'm glad cause that's what I wanted. A light-medium dusty pink colour, very pretty. Nice texture too, glides on nicely and isn't hard!!








11) Essential Oxygen, Organic Brushing Rinse, Toothpaste + Mouthwash, Peppermint
size: 16 fl oz (480 ml)

I saw freelee the banana girl use this in one of her videos and was really curious about it, I decided to check if iherb carried the product and they did and I was really excited to try this. I was so happy to see it was usda organic, my main reason for getting this is the whitening effects it says to have and with only 1% hydrogen peroxide I thought it would be good to try since there is a good chance my teeth and gums wont have the same sensitivity they usually  have with whitening products. I've been using my activated charcoal to help remove stains (blog post coming soon) but activated charcoal removes stains it does not whiten the tooth's natural colour, I will explain more about that in my upcoming post :)
 






Size: 8 fl oz 236 ml

Oh my goodness I love this dressing so much it's ridiculous!! I got it from my most recent purchase from iherb before this one and I have finished it and it tastes so good I've been just craving it!! I had never tasted ranch dressing until this and this tastes amazing!!!







Justin's Nut Butter 
Flavour: Vanilla Almond Butter size: 16 oz /454 g

The reviews for this were really good and I really wanted to give this a try, I was trying to decide between the vanilla and chocolate but vanilla ended up winning but if I like it I will probably try the chocolate next time. I'm actually looking forward to trying this with celery, I never have before but everyone seems to think it's a good combination. I did notice after I bought it that it does have "sustainably sourced palm fruit oil". 







14) Nature's Path, Organic Toaster Pastries
Flavour: Strawberry  size/ amount:  6 Tarts, 52 g Each

I got these on my last iherb order and I've always been so upset that America gets pop tarts and we don't- I've never understood that anyway these are usda organic. I have them as a desert because they do have a lot of sugar so I only have them as a sometimes thing with whipped cream- it's a guilty pleasure.






15) Navitas Naturals, Coconut Sugar 
size: 16 oz (454 g)

I've been hearing quite a bit about this and it was described tasting like coconut caramel sugar, and I was really interested that it has b vitamins, minerals and is  low glycemic, I thought I would try this in my tea and in cooking, very excited about it cause at least I will be getting some added benefits from this coconut sugar rather than the normal sugar I use. Very excited :)




16) Clean Well, All-Natural Hand Sanitizing Wipes, Alcohol Free 10 Moist Wipes

These are much smaller than what I have thought they would be but I got them because it's always really handy to have wipe in your bag and I liked that it was a natural antibacterial oil was used instead of a harmful chemical. Silly me I didn't even realise it had said 10 wipes, whoops.







17) ToothSoap, Natural & Organic Tooth Cleanser 
Flavour: Spearmint Gel size: 1 oz (28.5 ml)

I've never tried this flavour and I just wanted to try something different, a bit bored with the peppermint and I've tried the cinnamon which I wont get again cause it isn't really my kind of flavour.




18) ToothSoap, Natural & Organic Tooth Cleanser 
Flavour: Peppermint Gel size: 1 oz (28.5 ml)

My holy grail toothpaste replacement, I swear by this I love it so much it's ridiculous, highly recommend it!! I have only 1 more extra of this and thought I'd better get more cause I cannot be without it and can never use normal toothpastes again, I love this too much I wouldn't know what to do without it. Very expensive but if you haven't tried it I strongly suggest you give it a go because the results will speak for themselves doesn't have the best taste or a good taste at all,  but you get use to it really quickly.




I do realise I have mainly been posting hauls lately, but lots of reviews are coming up as well as some different kinds of blog posts :)

  1. Wow, what a great haul!! I also recently purchased on iHerb but keep finding myself back on the website. They have so many products and a variety of them too! Would love to find out what you think of the Organic Brushing Rinse and the Phsyician's formula mascara.

    1. Thank you so much !!! I am addicted to iherb so much that it's now a problem lol. Every time I put an order in I think of something else to get!!
      I will make sure to do a review on the mascara and brushing rinse, so far I've used the brushing rinse 3 times and I've noticed it's not too hot thankfully and now I'm just on the watch that I don't get any bad sensitivity issues, and hopefully it whitens.

      P.s. Thanks for subscribing :)
