Winter Empties & Review - 2026

 Hello, everyone! How was your weekend?

Can you believe it's the end of March already?! This year is flying by so fast already. I'm already planning my sons' birthday parties. Here are all the products I was able to use up this past season.

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation Deluxe Sample

I liked this foundation a lot. It matched my skin tone perfectly, and it looked great all day without sinking into my fine lines and pores. Whenever I finally run out of foundation, I'll likely purchase this one.


Olay Super Serum Body Cream

This was free from Influenster for review. I actually really liked this too. It's thick, but it sinks into the skin fairly quickly. It smells very nice. It also made my skin feel so soft and hydrated. I have some other body lotions to use up first, but I'm definitely repurchasing this when the others are gone. 


Layhomo Shea Butter Body Lotion
 
This wasn't hydrating at all. It felt like water. As soon as I rubbed it in, it was gone, and it felt like I didn't apply anything at all.  
 
 
Peach & Lily Super Oasis Concentrated Serum
 
This was fine. The formula is thin and sinks into the skin quickly. I don't feel like it did enough for its price though. 
 

Tatcha The Dewy Milk Moisturizer
 
This was fine too. I don't think it's good enough for me to purchase a full size of this. 
 

The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Toner
 
I really like this toner. I use it on my face on body. I've already repurchased this product and it's an item I will always repurchase. 
 

NARS Climax Mascara
 
I really liked this mascara. It was very black, and coated my lashes very well. 
 

Gold Bond Healing Hand Cream
 
I liked this hand cream. It smelled fine and it was thick and kept my hands feeling soft and hydrated. 
 

Redken All Soft Mega Treatment
 
I love this treatment! You only need a little bit of this, so this lasted forever! It smells nice and made my hair feel so soft and healthy. 
 
 
Bath & Body Works A Toast to You Body Lotion
 
This scent wasn't my favorite. I wouldn't purchase it again. 
 

Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Hand Cream in Lavender and Vanilla
 
This scent was okay. It smelled more like baby powder than lavender vanilla. This cream was thick and my hands felt soft after using it. I might try a different scent next time. 
 
 
Josie Maran Body Butter in Bohemian Fig
 
I liked how thick and moisturizing this body butter was, but I hated the scent. I might try a different scent, but I would not repurchase this one. 
 

PanOxyl Acne Creamy Wash
 
I wasn't a fan of this face wash. It has a chemical smell that I hated and it didn't do anything to help with my acne. I have a different face wash from this brand that I'm trying to use up now, but it smells the same as this wash and I'm hating it. 
 
 
Batiste Dry Shampoo in Brunette
 
I always use this dry shampoo. I like that it's tinted instead of white against my dark hair. 
 

Tatcha The Longevity Memory Cream sample
 
I didn't really like this moisturizer. It didn't seem to hydrate my skin as much as I was expecting it to. 
 

Benefit Cosmetics Lolli Balm
 
I wasn't a big fan of this lip balm either. It has too bright of a pink tint to it. It didn't hydrate at all either. 
 
 
That's everything I was able to use up this time! I hope you have a great week, and thank you so much for stopping by!
