It’s the end of November which means it time for another instalment of the ultimate empties challenge! I don’t have a lot of empties this month BUT I have already hit my target so anything from now to dec is surplus PLUS I finished 43 products last month so I have a lot of products I started using this month!
Let’s get into it
Cleansers & Toners
Pixi Rose Tonic– I absolutely love this! It’s very soothing and hydrating and perfect as a morning toner. I have a full review of this coming soon. L’Oréal Revitalift Glycolic Pads– this was disappointing. Again I have my full thoughts on this coming soon. Primark Micellar Wipes– these are absolutely beautiful to use and they actually work! I will repurchase. Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel– a really good cleansing gel and I really enjoyed using it. The travel size actually lasted a while. I have a full review of this coming soon! Finally B.Pure Micellar water– one of the best micellar water in the drugstore. I have a full review here and a brand review coming next month! I also finished the Simple Soothing Toner– I have a full review of this coming but to summarise I absolutely love it! It’s very gentle on the skin and perfect for mornings or to use as a follow-up toner after an acid toner- it’s not needed but I am a product junkie so I have been experimenting with this
Serums & Creams
Only 4 in this section, a travel-sized Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum, Neostrata Tri Lifting Serum– an absolute pleasure to use in my routine! I have a full review on BrownBeautytalk! Another tube of the Ordinary MAP, review here and the final tube of the year, the Bodyshop SPF 50
Hair care
3 more empties in the hair care department, I finished the Aunt Jackie’s Moisturising & Softening Shampoo– I really wanted more from this shampoo but I was disappointed. My full thoughts on this coming soon. Curls Unleashed Moisturising Conditioner– this has the BEST slip I have ever used but sadly its discontinued! I found this in the black hair shops so you may be able to pick it up still but I cant find it anywhere online. It’s not the best for actually moisturising the hair but you could use this as a Prepoo detangling conditioner! Redken Diamond Oil– had this for a really long time! It’s great for my wigs but actually works well on my natural hair.
Face masks
I used 2 sheet masks- the BeautyPro Detoxifying bubbling cleansing mask– this was super nice to use. It gently foamed and actually left my skin hydrated and brighter. It’s formulated with charcoal and AHA to help detox the skin. this is something I received in a Glossy box and I would actually buy. Sephora Coconut Sheet mask– I was actually slightly disappointed with this. I love a lot of the Sephora sheet masks I have used but this one wasn’t up to standard. I also used the Sephora Grape Eye patch– it hydrated my under eye area but this kept slipping down! Garnier Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask is probably the best eye patch I have used. It’s actually has a cooling effect as advertised so it refreshed my eye area and helped to depuff! I can’t wait to repurchase! Origins Intensive overnight mask– this was absolutely beautiful and I need to buy the full size! It’s a leave on mask but again I wash it off. It leaves the skin soft and hydrated and it feels soothing on the skin too. I think it’s perfect for dry skin and the winter but I have normal t combo skin and it worked really well!
Others
Amani Code Cashmere this perfume is so BOMB! I need to buy it again. I usually don’t like repurchasing perfumes but as I am getting older I now want to keep the same 3 or 4 in a rotation and this will definitely be one of them! Soap & Glory Hand Food Sugar Crush– beautiful hand cream and the scent is amazing. Its non-greasy, Finally Superdrug Cotton rounds.
Total this month 21
Total so far- 321
That’s it, folks! not a lot of empties this month but I am now at a total of XXX! Cant wait for December so I can do a final analysis of how many types of products I have finished!
Catch you later!
