hey guys it has been a hot minute since I've talked about some of my empty products I thought
it was about time for me to share with you what I thought about my most used product I am going to
be talking about this bottle which I'm already swinging around this is from Clinique this is
there liquid facial soap mild and I have to say this is my very favorite mild facial soap like
it's just really basic especially if my skin is acting up or going crazy this just helps
everything feel really clean but not overly strict like I definitely don't have that painful squeaky
tight feeling after I use this but I do feel like my skin is nice and clean and it just does its job
I've gone through countless bottles of this like I can't even tell you I've used it for years and
it's just a really good go to face wash it's a really large size it's a clear kind of soap not
like cream based it's for dry combination skin so if your skin does happen to be drier or more
sensitive then I highly recommend checking this one next I wanted to talk about a skin
moisturizer and this one is from Carol it's called hydrotherapy wet skin moisturizer and I have gone
through actually a couple bottles of this as well I really like this because it's actually the kind
where you can put it on when your skin is still wet right after you take a shower I feel like
because I you know don't want to spend too much time with my whole pampering routine anymore I
do have a baby and you know my life gets really crazy and so when I can just combine steps like
putting on my lotion literally while I'm still in the shower stepping out drying everything
just putting my clothes straight on I really like condensing that part of the routine and this one
is really great because it makes my skin super soft and it doesn't have any scent so if I'm
feeling extra sensitive or if my nose just doesn't like certain sense I have a pretty sensitive nose
so I just like the fact that it's really kind of basic and doesn't irritate my skin so this
is something that I've just been using basically every time I shower and I really like it cuz when
your skin is already wet you put lotion on it just goes on really quickly next I want to talk
about this daddy this is the Clinique dramatically different moisturizing lotion plus and it's just
one of those super old-school products that's been around forever and there's definitely a reason why
it's because it is just the best super standard yellow moisturizer out there it comes in a really
generous container so it lasts a really long time and again if my skin is just sort of acting up or
I just need a really really basic routine then this is what I go for so this particular kind is
for a very dry to dry combination skin so if you do happen to be really oily then maybe you'll want
something a little more gel textured for me I'm in my 30s now I feel like my skin has definitely
gotten drier now over time this has been sort of a really good standard go to again when I just
really want to simplify my routine which I feel like has been the better part of the last couple
of years for me especially when I was pregnant and breastfeeding I didn't want anything that had
too many irritating properties that might be bad for babies it's not scented it doesn't have too
many crazy ingredients it's just really basic and does its job speaking of skin care this is going
to come as no surprise people have followed me for a while know that SK twos facial treatment
essence is something I literally use like twice a day every single day so this is another completely
empty bottle it's just been something I've been using for years and years and years it's a staple
pardon my routine basically it's the first step after washing your face before you put on any
moisturizer it's kind of like a watery texture and you just kind of Pat it into your skin and
it helps prep your skin for all of the moisture layers to penetrate even deeper especially in
the wintry months if my skin is getting a little bit more dehydrated I make sure not to ever skip
this step hence another empty bottle I feel like the Pitera essence works really well with my skin
this is another product that I used throughout pregnancy breastfeeding all of that I don't think
there's anything personally irritating in it that caused any problems with my skin so this is just
another basic for me that I love using everyday next I wanted to talk about a hair product this
is going to be kind of interest for me because I'm very particular about the dry shampoos I use
and 99% of the time I hate dry shampoos that come in an aerosol can this is literally my
one exception I love this one this is by living proof it's called perfect hair day dry shampoo my
husband and I are both obsessed with this which is probably the reason why we ran through it so
quickly I think we've actually gotten maybe two or three bottles of this and every time I just
get so sad when it has like that empty air sound you know nothing more coming out it doesn't leave
that sticky feeling that most aerosol can dry shampoos have and it just makes my skin feel so
fresh and clean in a way that I really feel like I rarely get in another dry shampoo it is a little
bit on the whitish side so you do have to kind of work it and if you have darker hair but it's not
like impossible to get rid of one downside just like I said again is you're gonna love it and go
through it really fast so compared to just getting a bottle of powder it does go through quickly next
I wanted to talk about the Mac brush cleaner and it's actually funny that I'm now talking about
this as an empty because I've had this particular container probably for like four years for some
reason what I want to wash my brushes I feel like it's just so much easier for me to grab
like a baby shampoo or one of those solid brush soaps that's kind of been what I've been doing
more often lately but I had this sitting in my cabinet for such a long time I was like I really
need to get through it so I finally emptied it it smells nice it works well unfortunately I
just feel like in order to get my brushes really sudsy and cleaned to the level that I want it to
be I go through a lot of the products if I were to get a brush cleaner I don't think I would
repurchase this but that's not to say it doesn't work well as a good product especially if you're
in a situation where you're not necessarily able to run to a sink right away it's watery enough
that I feel like you can get away with just like wetting it on your brush and using a paper towel
like in a dire circumstance I could go either way with it it's nice it's not my favorite moving on
I wanted to talk about the drunk elephant lalla retro whipped cream moisturizer this has kind of
really beautiful packaging I love the color of it this like beautiful lavender color you just
squeeze this and then a little bit of product comes out the top which is nice and hygienic
you don't have to be dipping your fingers into an open product I really like this moisturizer
it's very thick very creamy if you have more acne genic or oily skin I would avoid this because it
is on the heavier side but if you do have dry skin this is like a cool drink of water I do find that
if I've been having several days in a row where my skin is really feeling that tight pulling kind of
feeling if I just use this for like three or four days it really changes the whole moisture balance
of my skin so it's not something that I've been using day in and day out but definitely for a few
weeks at a time during times that I need it for my skin if I use really heavy products for a long
time my pores will just get a little bit blocked up I really love using this in combination with
the drunk elephant marullo oil I'll do that first and then this and it just seems to lock
everything in which is really really amazing I also wanted to mention this see firm add a serum
which I'm on like my second or third container of it as well I love this packaging I love that you
twist it for the little top part to slide up and I also like that it's a really opaque container
because that's what you want to see with vitamin C product it's not photo stable so you need to
make sure it's in a completely sealed container so that it doesn't disturb the vitamin C from working
better over time this one is 15% l-ascorbic acid and has pumpkin ferment extract and it says it
firms and brightens I feel like when I use this continually I do see a little bit of lightening
of my hyperpigmentation and just overall a little bit more brightness in my skin so it's a really
great option if you're looking for a vitamin C serum I just love everything drunk elephant
makes and this is definitely no exception I think this was maybe even one of the first products from
them that I and I've been very very happy with it here's another oldie but goodie this is the
bareMinerals original foundation I cannot tell you how many of these I have gone through and this
year I went through another little container of these I have been lately using the shade light but
there are a couple different shades that I can get away with from the bareMinerals lineup they have
some golden beige eye shades that also work really well if you have yellow undertones I'm someone who
is very very breakout prone I definitely break out hormonal II and I feel like for every stage
of my life I've had breakouts and so any kind of foundation product I can use and not have
to worry about my breakouts getting worse during those periods of time is kind of priceless for me
I don't necessarily think mineral makeup is for everyone in every situation it's not necessarily
the most red carpet-ready makeup because it does have some flash back when you're using
it for film and photography however for everyday use it's so fast to apply and look so natural and
doesn't cause me extra breakouts I just feel like that's so irreplaceable in my personal routine I
can just apply it so so quickly and if you're a mom or if you're just a busy person or a student
you know how priceless that is so basically I just use this powder first put it all over my face and
then I'll use their mineral veil to sort of set it I go through a lot more of this because I need
more coverage with the colored product though so yes a huge huge recommendation it's still a
favorite product that I've just used for so many years next I wanted to talk about probably my most
used brow product this year this is the benefit precisely my brow pencil and you can tell because
the packaging it has this really sharp tip at one end the bad thing is that the product is so tiny
that you do go through it fairly quickly depending on how full you fill in your brows but if you're
someone like me where you already have some brows but you just want to really fill in any bald areas
and have it be really natural little strokes I feel like the small brow pencils are so key
because versus a really big one where it doesn't have the little like hair like strokes that you
can fill in I really love the tiny little tip on this one plus it also has the built-in spoolie
on the opposite side so you can just blend that through your brows and make everything
look nice and natural and blended in and soft I love this the shade I use is number three which
I feel like works really well if you want a more natural brow look if you have black hair for is
also really great for my hair color as well if you have black hair and you want a little more
fear sprout go for four finally I just kind of wanted to throw this in at the end because it's
such a great product it's not necessarily for me it's actually what I've been using on my baby aria
this is one of my favorite body washes I've used this is by baby pea boo and it's called pea booze
bath time wash the reason I love this so much is because of the scent it's lavender scented and I
don't know if you guys have tried lavender honey ice cream but it just became such an addiction
during my last pregnancy that every time I smell it it just gives me the best nostalgic feelings
and every time I would use this body wash on Aria it just has such great memories with it so I used
this religiously I had a travel sized 1/2 and I definitely want to repurchase this just to have
that scent know it's a mommy product but I just had to include it I think it's a really really
fantastic product so those were all of my empties for this round I really hope you guys found it
helpful if you're looking for something new to try that you want a lot of experience knowing
that it's like a fabulous product highly recommend basically everything that I talked about and if
you're interested in anything I'll leave links in the info box down below as always I love you guys
so much and if you have had a favorite empty product that you've gone through recently let
me know that down in the comments and what you thought of it because it's always really helpful
