recent empties

Hey there friend, welcome back! 

If you have been following along for a while, you might know that a few years ago I started posting “empties” blog posts as a way of holding myself accountable to use products up and a way to share my favourites with you. 

I’m excited to be sharing another round-up of products with you this week. Let’s get into them!

Native Deodorant – Since my last empties post I’ve actually finished two of these, one in Coconut Vanilla and the other in Grapefruit. I personally love the coconut vanilla and continue to buy it over and over. Switching to natural deodorant is definitely a transition but I really like knowing that I’m using products that are better for me and this has been my favourite that I’ve tried. 

Maria Nila Heal Conditioner – I really loved this conditioner, however, I typically like to use shampoo & conditioner sets but the Maria Nila Heal shampoo, unfortunately, has wheat in it. Despite not having a reaction to the product, I am trying to cut out any beauty products that aren’t also gluten-free. 

Briogeo Don’t Despair Repair Hair Mask – This is such a great hair mask! I felt like a little bit went a long way, it didn’t have a harsh or strong fragrance to it and I love that Briogeo avoids a lot of ingredients in their products. This is a product I would absolutely repurchase. 

Avene Tinted Mineral Fluid – I thought this was a really great sunscreen. I really liked that I could see that it was acting as a bit of a barrier when I was swimming and I didn’t feel like I needed to reapply all the time (I of course still reapplied!) It was quite tinted, and I will warn you that it was darker than I expected. I will repurchase this again for the summer but I think I need to re-assess which colour will be best for me.

Glow Jar Dewy Moisture Mist – This is such a lovely face spray. Not only does it feel so luxurious being in a glass bottle, it adds such a beautiful glow. I use it to mist my face before applying moisturizer morning and night and also use it to set my makeup. Since finishing this one I have another one that I have almost used up as well.

JVN Pre-Wash Scalp Oil – I really liked that this oil was designed to use before washing, I felt like it helped add shine and moisture to my hair. Plus I just loved being in the routine of putting the oil in, getting a workout in and then washing my hair. I will absolutely repurchase this product. 

Origins Ginzing SPF 40 – This is my go-to daily sunscreen. I can’t tell you how many of them I’ve bought. I have one on the go and a backup right now. I really love that it adds a little glow but isn’t high coverage. This is always essential for me. 

Good Molecules Ultra-Hydrating Facial Oil – If you have been following along with these posts for a while then you know I have used soooo many of these. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Good Molecules please make these in a bigger size! I love that it is affordable and it doesn’t clog my skin. It is the perfect product and I just want to be able to buy it in a bigger size. 

It Cosmetics Superhero Mascara – This is such a great mascara! It doesn’t get flakey even when I wear it all day, it comes off pretty easily, and it is very buildable. I will absolutely buy this mascara again, I think it is amazing!
