Best Empties of the Year🧴
My best empty bottles of 2025! I always grab the CC cream on Black Friday, then by the time the next Black Friday rolls around i’m due for another! Good molecules is a highly affordable skincare brand that has so many amazing products, I would also check out their hyaluronic acid serum!
It's always so satisfying to finish a product, especially when it's one you absolutely adore! My 'empties' pile this year really highlights some true stars in my beauty routine, and I just had to share why these two products, in particular, keep me coming back for more. First up, let's talk about the IT Cosmetics CC Nude Glow - Your Skin But Better CC+ Nude Glow Skin Tint with SPF 40. This isn't just a CC cream; it's a skin savior! I've tried countless foundations and skin tints, but so many feel heavy or cakey, especially in humid weather. What I adore about the Nude Glow is how truly lightweight it is. It gives me that beautiful medium coverage to cover blemishes and even out my skin tone without ever feeling like I'm wearing a mask. The 'Your Skin But Better' really rings true, it just enhances my natural complexion. And the SPF? A total game-changer! Knowing I'm getting Broad Spectrum SPF 40 protection every day, without having to layer on a separate thick sunscreen, is fantastic. It's truly a Color Correcting Brightening Glow Serum that also protects. For anyone concerned about breakouts, I can personally attest that this formula has never clogged my pores or caused any irritation, which is a huge win for my sensitive skin. I usually stock up on this during Black Friday sales because I know I'll use it up before the next one rolls around – it's that good! Then there's my other consistent empty: the Good Molecules Sheer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30. I know, I know, I just praised the SPF in the CC cream, but layering protection is key, especially when you're out and about! This Good Molecules SPF 30 is incredibly affordable, and its performance rivals much pricier options. As someone who's struggled with sunscreens leaving a dreadful white cast or feeling greasy, this one is a revelation. It’s a minimal white cast sunscreen lotion with UVA/UVB protection that genuinely blends into all skin tones beautifully. What makes it perfect for my routine is how seamlessly it layers under my IT Cosmetics CC Nude Glow. It doesn’t pill, it doesn’t feel heavy, and it gives me that extra peace of mind knowing my skin is thoroughly protected from daily sun rays. Good Molecules truly delivers amazing products, and this SPF, alongside their hyaluronic acid serum (another fav!), proves that effective skincare doesn't have to break the bank. If you're looking for a reliable, non-comedogenic sunscreen that feels great and protects your skin, this is definitely one to try. These two products together are my secret to a radiant, protected, and 'your skin but better' complexion!
