July Empties Review

You know it’s summer when three of your empties are sunscreen. This review includes some hits, some misses and some holy grails. So let’s jump right into what I finished slathering on my dry skin this month. Sweet Chef Oat Milk Latte Cleanser This cleanser has lasted me ages, but it’s a good one —Continue reading “July Empties Review”

May Empties Review

It’s nearly summer! And I’m finishing up another batch of products just in time. Some of these will be familiar to frequent readers, as there are three recurring favorites in here, but there are also some new favorites to be found — I think this is the most 10/10 I’ve done in a batch ofContinue reading “May Empties Review”

April Openeds Reviews

This month’s opened products were really about getting ready for warmer weather as Colorado continues to waffle about what season we’re in. But as I think about all of these products the big thing that stands out to me, rather than transitional, is sensorial! For almost all of these products, the texture is possibly theContinue reading “April Openeds Reviews”

April Empties Review

Sometimes I worry about how much skincare I buy, then I see how much skincare I go through and I think “nope, seems fine.” Here’s what I emptied in April!

Granted, two are body skincare and five were minis and one was also in use by my husband but now I’m just rationalizing.Continue reading “March Empties Review”

March Mask Madness

This winter I’ve gotten really into masking. Like, really really. I did two wash-off masks and one sheet mask on Friday night. It’s been a nice way to fill dark evenings and cold weekend days. I think of wash-off masks in three categories: clay/charcoal/drying masks. These were really the only type available when I wasContinue reading “March Mask Madness”

December Empties Review

It’s that time again! Posting my empties before the end of the month this time because I have a “New Year New Face” post planned for a couple days from now. 😂 Plus for whatever reason it seems like y’all are hotly anticipating this, and who am I to deny you? (Note: this month IContinue reading “December Empties Review”

October Empties Review

Out with the old! Took me a while to get around to photographing them, but here are October’s empties. For reference, my skin type is normal-dry and my concerns are primarily around skin brightening and anti-aging.
