empties ✔️ or ❌

2025/12/21 Edited to

... Read moreNovember has been a month full of trying out and finishing a variety of personal care products, and it’s always exciting to share honest thoughts on empties. Skincare and hygiene products often impact our self-care routines significantly, so knowing what works for others can help in making smarter purchases. For example, the COCO Paradise Bath & Body Works Ultimate Hydration Body Cream with Shea Butter and Hyaluronic Acid received an 8/10 rating for its moisturizing benefits – it’s impressive how long-lasting 24-hour hydration can be achieved in a cream. Shea Butter combined with Hyaluronic Acid creates a nourishing formula that’s great for dry or sensitive skin types looking for deep moisture. When it comes to exfoliating scrubs, the Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub in Moroccan Rose scent was a pleasant surprise despite not being the author’s first choice. Products like these often offer the benefit of gentle exfoliation without irritating the skin, and scents can play an essential role in the overall experience. Sugar scrubs help remove dead skin cells and leave skin soft and glowing, enhancing skincare efficacy. Hand sanitizers have become indispensable, and the variety tested offered insights into both scent and effectiveness. The Watermelon Hand Sanitizer from Smart and the Wish Hydrating & Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer in Sweet Guava & Fresh Coconut both performed well, with fruity scents making sanitizing more enjoyable. The importance of moisturizing components in sanitizers is often overlooked, so those that combine sanitization with skin hydration are worth trying. On the flip side, the Pacifica Daily Calming Spray Comfort Mist did not work well and caused breakouts, a reminder that not all products suit every skin type. It’s sensible to test such sprays cautiously, especially with sensitive or acne-prone skin. Lastly, gifting sets like the Ulta Beauty Polar Berry Scented Hand Cream pack show how well-curated assortments with pleasing scents can be a delightful treat for personal use or as gifts. These collections often provide a way to try multiple scents with less commitment. Sharing these experiences helps build a community around honest product reviews and encourages mindful consumption. Whether you seek deep hydration, refreshing sanitizers, or gentle exfoliation, knowing what has passed the test for others can be invaluable in your skincare journey.

January empties!!
Obviously I didn’t buy all this or even open it in January, because it took me months to go through most of these. Also, the dove soap in the cover photo is 9.5/10! It’s so moisturizing and smells super clean. #empties #emptieshaul #bodycare #makeup #haircare
