Skincare Empties I’m continuing to work through a pretty massive backlog of empties here. One day, I will be all caught up again I swear 🤣 Key: 🎁: PR/Gifted 🐶: Cruelty Free 🌿: Vegan 🌹: Fragranced 📄: Review In Feed ✨: Affiliate (Discount code and link in bio) @sandandskyaus Tasmanian Spring Water 🎁 🐶 🌿 📄 🌹: This is a pleasant hydrating serum with a nice viscosity to it. It absorbs easily and left my skin dewy and plumped. It doesn’t particularly stand out to me compared to other hydrating serums. @eight_saints Night Shift Hydration Gel🐶🌹: This moisturizer holds a special place in my heart because it is one of the products that got me in to skincare. It has a beautiful texture and absorbs easily. However, I’ve moved on to other products. @lovefromyours Cloud Factory Gentle Foaming Cleanser 🎁 🐶 🌿 📄 🌹 ✨: If foaming cleansers are your thing, you need to give this beauty a try. It’s gentle, effective, and leaves my skin feeling refreshed without drying it out. @lovekinship Kinskin Oat Ceramide Relief Oil🎁🐶🌿: This is hands down my favorite facial oil! It’s so nourishing and soothing and leaves my skin feeling fortified and healthy. @herbivorebotanicals Moon Dew Bakuchiol + Peptide Eye Cream 🎁 🐶 🌿 📄 🌹: I found this eye cream to be quite enjoyable to use. It was nourishing and hydrating and kept my eye orbital area moisturized all night. @cocokind Resurrection Polypeptide Cream 🎁 🐶 🌿: I am conflicted about this cream because it is deeply nourishing, affordable, and overall effective but I found it somewhat frustrating to use because it didn’t absorb very well especially when layered on top of a lot of skincare. What did you most recently empty?

Summer Must Have for Glowy Skin *I received the pictured products complimentary from the brand and make a commission from sales using my affiliate code Cruelty Free and Vegan Fragranced This summer, OSEA’s Undaria Algae Body Oil is my go to for radiant and glowy skin. It has a fabulous plush texture and absorbs effortlessly into my skin, leaving it feeling nourished and moisturized without leaving behind any stickiness or greasy feeling. The gorgeous radiant, glossy finish this oil has leaves me feeling like a goddess. I also love how a little bit of this oil goes a long way. I have already gotten a fair amount of usage from them and they are going to last for quite some time! This oil has a beautiful fragrance to it, with notes of grapeftuit, lime, cypress, mango, and mandarin. It has quite the luxurious, spa-like feel without being overpowering at all. This beauty comes in a 1 oz travel size for convenient travel that fits perfectly in my purse for on the go application, a 5 oz standard size, and a 9.6 oz jumbo size to save 16% of the price per oz.

New To Me Products I’ve Been Testing Lately Key: 🎁: PR/Gifted 🐶: Cruelty Free 🌿: Vegan 🌹: Fragranced 📄: Review In Feed ✨: Affiliate (Discount code and link in bio) @farmacybeauty Honey Glow 17% Resurfacing Acid Serum🎁🐶✨: This recent launch replaced Honeymoon Glow, a longtime favorite of mine from their lineup and I think this serum is an improvement! It feels great on application and has left my skin looking and feeling smoother and brighter! @solawave Skin Therapy Activating Serum🎁🐶🌿: I love this super hydrating serum! It has a beautiful gel texture and is quite deeply hydrating, leaving my skin plump and juicy and pairs absolutely beautifully with the sola wave device itself. @beautypie Super Retinol Anti-Aging Hand Treatment🐶🌿: I love a good hand cream and this one stood out to me because it goes above and beyond with retinol for anti-aging benefits. I use it right before bed and find it absorbs easily and doesn’t feel heavy or greasy. @mypaume All-in-One Cuticle and Nail Cream🐶🌿: I am obsessed with this cream. I’ve tried a lot of cuticle creams and this is by far my favorite (I already bought three more!). It keeps my cuticles healthy, hydrated and nourished and noticeably reduced nail peeling and breakage. @youthtothepeople Superfood Skin Drip🎁🐶🌿🌹: This serum has a subtle shimmer to it for an immediate radiant effect, absorbs effortlessly into the skin, and layers beautifully with makeup and other products. @oseamalibu Advanced Protection Cream🎁🐶🌿✨: With my dry skin, I love a nice rich, creamy moisturizer that provides deep hydration and lasting moisture and this beauty checks all of those boxes! It feels decadent, non-greasy, and keeps my skin nourished all day or night long! @medik8 Crystal Retinal 3🐶🌿: I have been wanting to venture into Medik8 retinals for a while now and so far it has been living up to the hype. This cream applies well, doesn’t feel heavy on the skin, and hasn’t irritated my skin. I can’t wait to report back with longer term results. What have you been trying lately?

Sharing some empties from my backlog! At least a couple of these have been emptied for quite some time, but I only recently unearthed them in the back of my drawer. Key: 🎁: PR/Gifted 🐶: Cruelty Free 🌿: Vegan 🌹: Fragranced 📄: Review In Feed ✨: Affiliate (Discount code and link in bio) @klairs.global Gentle Black Fresh Cleansing Oil🎁🐶🌿: I love using cleansing oils especially in the shower because they tend to come in packaging that is more sanitary for shower use. The pump packaging ensures water doesn’t get into the product even when using the product in the shower. This cleansing oil has a lovely plush but light texture to it, emulsifies easily, and leaves my skin feeling refreshed without any unpleasant film. @tonymoly.us_official Wonder Ceramide Mochi Toner🐶🌿🌹: This milky toner was pleasantly hydrating but I found it occasionally irritated my skin when it was already feeling sensitive. Overall, it was nice enough, but I like other toners better and it didn’t stand out to me so I wouldn’t purchase it again. @supergoop Play Everyday Lotion SPF 50🎁🐶🌿🌹📄: This chemical SPF has more of a dewy finish, but I didn’t find that it felt heavy or greasy on my dry skin. Chemical sunscreens almost always tend to irritate my eyes, so it didn’t come as a surprise that this SPF sometimes irritated my eyes. @farmacybeauty Lemon Mint Green Clean 🎁🐶🌿🌹📄✨: This cleansing balm is a tried and true favorite of mine. It’s effective, pleasant to use, and this limited edition scent was amazing! @banilacousa Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Nourishing🎁🌿🌹: This is a pleasant and effective cleansing balm. In my experience it takes a little more TLC to melt down for even application than some other cleansing balms, but it is still easy to use. This is the nourishing version of the balm, but I haven’t noticed much of a difference between the Clean it Zero Cleaning Balms. What did you most recently empty?

Evening Skincare For Hydrated, Smooth, Radiant Skin Key: 🎁: PR/Gifted 🐶: Cruelty Free 🌿: Vegan 🌹: Fragranced 📄: Review In Feed ✨: Affiliate (Discount code and link in bio) @farmacybeauty Green Clean🎁✨🐶🌿🌹📄: This cleansing balm remains a favorite of mine. It emulsifies and breaks down my makeup and sunscreen effortlessly. @youthtothepeople Kale + Green Tea Spinach Vitamins🎁🐶🌿🌹📄: This gel cleanser is a joy to use. It foams up beautifully and leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed. I find it gentle enough for even my dry skin. @skinfixinc Triple Lipid + Collagen Activating Serum🎁🐶🌿: This milky serum leaves my skin feeling hydrated and plump. When I use this product consistently, I find my skin feels healthier and fortified. @elemis Pro-Collagen Vitality Eye Cream🎁🌹📄: This eye cream is rich, creamy, and nourishing. It’s pleasant to use and leaves my eye orbital area feeling nourished and moisturized all day long. @biossance Squalane + Lactic Acid Resurfacing Night Serum🎁🐶🌿🌹📄: This is such a lovely nourishing and exfoliating serum. I love how gentle and non-irritating I find it to be and how soft, smooth, and radiant my skin looks when I use it. @nichebeautylab Theramid Clinical Vitamin A🎁🐶🌿📄: I love this vitamin A serum. It’s creamy, non-irritating, and absorbs well into the skin. Overall, this product is beautifully formulated and I love how it makes my skin look and feel fresh Tea Elixir Skin Resilience Activating Serum🎁🌹: This serum is overall a joy to use. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but my skin does seem to look its best when I use it. That said, this beauty is definitely more of a splurge and I consider it more of an “extra” in my routines. Youth to the People Polypeptide-121 Future Cream🎁🐶🌿📄: This rich and nourishing cream is a dream for my dry skin. It’s lightweight enough for daytime use and nourishing enough for nighttime use. I love slathering this on to end a routine and lock it all in. What are your main skincare goals?

Skincare Empties I have such a backlog of empties at this point that I don’t even know for sure when exactly I emptied them all but I am working on getting all caught up with sharing them. Key: 🎁: PR/Gifted 🐶: Cruelty Free 🌿: Vegan 🌹: Fragranced 📄: Review In Feed ✨: Affiliate (Discount code and link in bio) @farmacybeauty Honey Grail🎁🐶🌹✨ : This facial oil is super thick and viscous, perfect for when my skin is feeling extra dry and needs a little or a lot of extra TLC. I love this oil especially for wintertime use because it is definitely on the heavier side, but it keeps my dry skin feeling soft and moisturized all night long! @notpot Oat Puff CBD Eczema Cream 🎁🐶🌿📄: I can’t get enough of this lotion! This lotion lived on my nightstand and I used it as a cure-all for itchiness and dry patches. I love how it feels on the skin and soothes irritated, itchy skin. It also smells lovely, think pleasant vanilla oat milk. @supergoop Play 100% Mineral Lotion SPF 50🎁🐶🌿: I am not a huge mineral SPF person especially for body use, but I find this one to be pleasant enough for a high SPF body sunscreen. It does have a minor white cast on my (pale) skin, so I imagine this isn’t suitable for all skin tones. This SPF came in very handy while I was visiting Maui as non-physical sunscreens are banned there. @paulaschoice Replenishing Moisturizer 🎁🐶🌿📄: Even when my skin is at its most sensitive and angry, this moisturizer always feels soothing and nourishing. This cream is quite rich, nourishing, and occlusive, completely locking in moisture all night long. It’s perfect for my very dry skin, especially for nighttime use during winter. @cocokind Oat to Milk Cleanser🎁🐶🌿📄: I am obsessed with this budget friendly cleanser. First off, it has an absolutely stunning and decadent balmy texture that beautifully transforms into a more creamy/milky one. This affordable cleanser has the most superb experience texturally and leaves my dry skin feeling hydrated and refreshed. What did you most recently empty?

I love how effective, gentle, and affordable is. @youthtothepeople Adaptogen Soothe + Hydrate Activated Mist🎁🐶🌿: I am really not big on mists, but this beauty is the exception to that.

The only thing I don’t love is the applicator, which they have updated with the packaging of this product. @farmacybeauty Honey Grail🎁🐶🌹📄✨: This is one of my favorite facial oils for colder weather or when my skin is feeling flaky or dry. It’s really thick, rich and nourishing, perfect for my dry skin. @furtunaskin Eye Revitalizing Cream🎁🐶: This decadent eye cream melts into the skin and leaves my eye orbital area deeply hydrated all day long!

It’s so gentle, perfect for my dry skin. It has a pleasant texture and feel and leaves my skin feeling refreshed and hydrated. @oseamalibu Hyaluronic Sea Serum🎁🐶🌿: This serum is fabulous! This is one of my favorite hydrating serums between its incredibly luxurious texture and feel and how plump and hydrated it leaves my skin. This is one of my most effective hydrating serums in terms of how plump and dewy it leaves my skin. @paulaschoice 10% Niacinamide Booster🎁🐶🌿: This niacinamide serum is very lightweight and watery, absorbing very easily and sinking into the skin almost immediately. This serum is much gentler than their 20% version and I find it to be non-irritating to my skin. @beekman1802 Milk Drops Ceramide Serum🎁🐶: I have a bit of an obsession with ceramides and skin barrier support and I love using this milky, lightly moisturizing ceramide serum to give my skin barrier a little extra help. It leaves my skin feeling healthier and fortified. @skinfixinc Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Peptide Cream🎁🐶🌿: I love this thick, ultra nourishing cream!

Love all around! @farmacybeauty Brighten Up 3% TXA🎁🐶🌿📄✨: I am obsessed with this toner! With consistent use it has made my skin look brighter and more radiant with more even tone.

It’s deeply nourishing and moisturizing and has an incredibly lightweight feel on the skin. The oil leaves my skin feeling moisturized and radiant without feeling greasy or heavy on the skin at all.

Undaria Algae Body Butter: The texture of this body butter is gorgeous! Its rich and buttery, glides over the skin, and absorbs quickly.
