Spring Empties & Review - 2026

 Hello, everyone! How was your weekend?

I'm actually so proud to say that I finished a chapstick recently! I have sooo many, and I'm really trying to get through them. Anyway, here's everything I used up lately! (A lot of misses for me this time.)

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream

This was free from Influenster. I liked this because it was thick and it moisturized my skin really well, but for the price I would never repurchase this. 

Well People Mascara

 

I wasn't a big fan of this. It clumped up my lashes pretty bad, so I always had to use a lash separator with it. 

Lancome Cils Booster XL Mascara Primer

 

I think I just don't like mascara primers in general. It feels like an unnecessary extra step and they always make my lashes look thick in a bad, clumpy way. 

Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Lavender & Vanilla Body Butter

 

This feels so greasy and thick. The smells is also SO strong. I wouldn't repurchase this. 

Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Lavender & Vanilla Shower Steamers

 

I wouldn't repurchase this either, but not because of the scent. These last for about 20 seconds in the shower. I don't place them directly in the water, and they still vanish so fast. 

PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash

 

This is my second face wash from this brand, and I didn't like either one of them. The smell is so chemical-y and strong and it didn't feel or look like it helped in any way. 

Bath & Body Works Gingham Gorgeous Body Cream

 

This smells really good! I would absolutely repurchase this scent. 

Flower Knows Makeup Remover Wipe Sample

 

This little towelette is thick and removed almost all of my makeup! It is scented but the smell is nice. 

Pantene Abundant & Strong Scalp & Root Serum

 

I really, really like this product! It has helped with my shedding a lot. It also tingles and has a cooling sensation when you apply it which I like. I've already repurchased this. 

The Creme Shop x Hello Kitty Apple of My Eye Patches

 

These were fine. I like wearing eye patches even though they don't seem to do much for me. 

Chapstick Pumpkin Pie

 

I used this everyday at work for the last few months and I finally got through it! I'm so ready to use something that isn't pumpkin pie scented. 

 

 

That's everything I've been able to use up! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful week!

 

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!

 

Autumn Empties & Review - 2025

 Hello, everyone! Merry Christmas to all that celebrate! I hope your week is wonderful and magical. :)

Here are all the products I've used up over the last few months.

Covergirl Clean Fresh Brow Gel

This was fine. The brush was a little bigger than I'd like, but it did what it was supposed to do. 

The Brow Gal Brow Gel

 

I feel the same about this brow gel. It's fine, but nothing special. 

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm

 

This felt nice on my lips and smells so good! I don't know that it actually helped with my dry lips though.

 

Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes

 

I've been using these for a long time. They're good for removing most makeup, but they don't take everything off. If you have any recommendations for makeup remover wipes, I'm all ears!

 

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Fresh

 

This smells nice and made my hair look clean and fresh. 

 

 

Peauamie Hyaluronic Acid Eye Mask

 

These felt nice under my eyes, but I have no idea if they actually did anything for me. 

 

Carmex Classic Lip Balm

 

I don't feel like this stuff really does anything to help with chapped lips. I've used it on and off for years and never saw a difference. For that, I won't ever repurchase this. 

 

O'Keeffe's Working Hands Night Treatment

 

This hand cream is very thick and greasy. It does seem to help with my dry, cracked skin though. I really like this brand of hand lotions and will very likely repurchase this in the near future. 

 

Redken All Soft Mega Hydramelt Treatment

 

I really, really like this stuff! I only use a small amount at a time, so this took forever to go through. Whenever I finally go through most of my hair care items and feel okay to purchase something, I'm going to start by repurchasing this product first. It smells amazing and makes my hair feel so soft!

 

 

That's all I was able to use up these last few months. I want to partake in Project Empty again for 2026. I've been going through my beauty products and choosing items to use up.

I hope you have a wonderful New Year's! Thank you for stopping by!

 

Summer Empties & Review - 2025

 Hi, everyone! How was your weekend?

I had more empties this season, but some of my files on my computer were corrupted and I no longer have those photos. In addition to what's pictured below, I also used up a First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Face Cleanser, an Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Medium Brown, a Caress body wash, a Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara mini, and a deluxe sample of Ranavat Brightening Saffron Serum.

The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Toner

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion

La Roche-Posay Hydrating Gentle Cleanser

That's everything I was able to use up this time. Are you doing project pan? I'm thinking of trying that again for next year. Over the next couple of months I'm going to go through all of my beauty products and decide on some items I'm going to actively try to use up.

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a great week!

 

Spring Empties & Review - 2025

 Hello, everybody! How was your weekend? Can you believe it's summer already??

I've started a bunch of new products recently but haven't been able to use up a lot of them. I'm going to make it my mission to use up wayyy more products over the summer than I did over the last few months. Anyway, here's everything I used up recently!

 First Aid Beauty Eye Duty Niacinamide Brightening Cream

This was fine. It's a very small sample though so I can't speak to how well this works.

Glow Recipe Guava Vitamin C Bright-Eye Gel Cream

 

This was nice. My eye area felt soft and hydrated after using this. 

 

 

Charlotte Tilbury Dark Spot Correcting Radiance Recovery Serum

 

This formula is very thin and sank into my skin quickly. It was hydrating and my skin was glowy while I was using this. Not a fan of the price though. 

 

Aavrani Scalp Detox Jelly Cleanser

 

My hair felt so clean and free of residue with this cleanser! I did not like that it had those little plastic beads in it though. 

 

 

Soap & Glory Clean on Me Body Wash

 

I love this scent. My body feels clean and hydrated when I use it. I would (and have) totally repurchase this. 

 

 

Bath & Body Works Wicked Vanilla Woods Hydrating Body Cream

 

This scent was way too strong. I wanted to use this up as quickly as possible just to get rid of it. 

 

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter

 

This feels so thick and hydrating! My skin felt soft and smooth after applying this. The smell is nice too. A bit strong, but not horrible. 

 

Bumble & Bumble BB Hairdresser Invisible Oil

 

I like this spray. The scent is good and it doesn't leave any residue in my hair once it's dried. 

 

Clinique Take the Day Off Charcoal Cleansing Balm

 

I really, really like this makeup remover. It just melts the makeup off and I can just wipe it all away. I don't think the charcoal aspect of this is necessary, but I don't even think Clinique sells this version anymore anyway. 

 

 

That's everything I was able to go through this time! Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have an amazing week!
