Fav product empties of the year✨

2025/12/23 Edited to

... Read moreOkay, so you've seen my 'empties' post, but I really wanted to dive deeper into why these two products became such staples in my routine this year. Especially for my Prequel Moisturizer – it's been a game-changer! First up, let's talk about the Prequel Moisturizer. Before I found this gem, my skin felt... fine. But after consistent use, it truly transformed. I used to struggle with occasional dullness and minor breakouts, but this moisturizer helped bring out a natural glow I didn't even know I had. My skin feels so much more balanced and genuinely clear. I typically use it both morning and night after cleansing and toning. A little goes a long way, especially with the generous 5.7 FL OZ bottle – it lasts ages, which is amazing value! The texture is incredibly lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue, making it perfect under makeup or just for a fresh, hydrated feel. For anyone with combo skin like mine, or even those looking for something that just works without being heavy, you have to give Prequel a try. It’s been my secret to maintaining that radiant, healthy look, and honestly, I've already repurchased it multiple times. If you're searching for a Prequel moisturizer that delivers on its promises for clear, glowing skin, look no further! Now, onto my other absolute must-have empty: the Dae cream. This isn't just any hair product; it's my ultimate secret weapon for those perfect, sleek hairstyles. You know those days when you just want a polished, put-together look without a fuss? That's where this comes in. I originally grabbed it specifically for my slick-back buns, and it performs flawlessly. It holds everything in place without feeling stiff or crunchy, which is a huge plus. What really sets it apart for me, though, is the scent. It's subtle yet absolutely divine – a fresh, slightly sweet aroma that makes my hair smell amazing all day. Beyond just buns, I've also found it fantastic for taming flyaways around my hairline and smoothing down any frizz when I wear my hair down. It adds a lovely, healthy sheen without making my hair look greasy. If you're on the hunt for a versatile hair product that smells incredible and gives you that effortless, sleek finish, the Dae cream is an absolute winner. I've gone through so many tubes of this, and it's a definite repurchase for me every single time. It truly elevates my hair game!
