5/2 Edited to

... Read moreApril empties are always a personal highlight because they reflect what products truly worked for me over time. This month, a few favorites stood out that I just had to mention. For example, the Butter Cream left a lasting impression with its rich, nourishing feel, perfect for dry skin. Although it’s disappointing that some trusted items like the Canvas Body Shimmer and the BanKeo BodyGla have been discontinued, I appreciate having backups of these products until they run out. One of the fun parts of this empties challenge is deciding whether to repurchase a product or try something new. For me, the tropical-inspired fragrances are a must-have for certain seasons because they lift my mood instantly—Carolina Girl scent and heavenly bath products made me excited to finish my empties drawer. While some perfumes in this list are pricier, the quality and lasting scent make them worthy investments. Another key insight is that empties challenges not only help track what’s effective but also encourage decluttering. Finishing products like the Glaze and realizing better alternatives are out there made me step back and reconsider my routine. It's about finding that balance between enjoyment and practical use. Overall, sharing these empties is not just about showcasing products but also encouraging mindful beauty consumption, which has changed how I purchase and use skincare. Have you tried any of these? What are your favorite empties that you keep repurchasing?

An empties review image features a bottle of after shave oil with a donut theme. Text highlights it as a 'must have for shaving', 'smells fantastic', 'prevents ingrowns', and rates it '9/10'. Three donut emojis are also present.

Another Truly product that I love is the Glazed Donut oil! 🍩 This is so hydrating and works well at preventing ingrowns. I definitely think this is a must have for summertime! I give it a 9/10 instead of a perfect score because sometimes the oil can seem a little greasy and takes a while to dr
