Skincare empties and what I’m rebuying (and NOT)

Apr 4, 2023 · 2 Comments

It’s time for a skincare products order, so I thought I’d share my skincare empties and what I’m buying and NOT rebuying, join me as I share what I’ll be adding to my shopping cart and what I’ll be leaving behind.

Empty skincare products this image

Paula’s Choice exfoliant – this is a find after it was included in a kit (<-highly recommend this kit too). It’s gentle on your skin and does a wonderful job exfoliating! It’s a leave-on facial exfoliant with eight percent glycolic acid to remove built-up dead skin for a visibly bright, smooth, radiant, and youthful look.

Caudalie Exfoliating Cleanser – I keep this one in the shower and use it every other time, it’s an exfoliating scrub that visibly purifies and refines skin texture with natural volcanic sand microbeads for a smoother complexion and clean-looking pores. It’s gentle on skin and is one I’ve purchased and repurchased before.

Empty skincare bottles

Stripes -Dew As I Do Moisturizer – I tried this one but it was a tad expensive and I did not feel like it was worth it, I won’t be re-buying. “This antioxidant-rich moisturizer comes packed with all the juicy things your skin thirsts for: our sustainably sourced squalane, a blend of vitamins B, C, E, and our star player and hydration hero, Ectoine. Visibly evens out skin tone, and reduces the appearance of fine lines. Now you’re talkin’.”

Langeine toner – love this brand so much, they changed the packaging, so if you click over please know that. I’m getting this ‘midnight to morning hydration set‘ because I’m almost out of the lip mask, which works sooo well! The toner is a two-in-one formula that preps and softens like a toner and moisturizes like a cream for maximum hydration benefits in one simple step.

Megababe body dust

Megababe body dust – I use this instead of babypowder, it’s magical and amazing. Highly recommend. Megababe Body Dust Top-to-Toe Powder is a talc-free, sweat-absorbing powder to help keep skin dry!

Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum cream – THIS LOTION, omg the scent, it’s just perfection, I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve purchased this over the years. It’s a fast-absorbing body cream with an addictive scent and a visibly tightening, smoothing formula that adds a hint of shimmer to skin.

Empty skincare products

Cotton pads – I got the ‘premium’ ones at Target to save money, but they suck. They pill and fall apart and after having tried the Shiseido ones a few years ago, there’s just nothing like them. Splurge and buy the Shiseido facial cotton pads.
