Happy Friday, y’all! We are back today with my September Empties. And I have to say, this is definitely one of my smaller empties posts for the year. But I have a good balance of skincare, haircare, bodycare, and makeup. And I’m excited to talk about each and every one of them!
SKIN CONTROL PORE PATCH FOR THE NOSE – $13.00
Regular readers will know that the Skin Control pimple patches feature regularly in my empties. They are some of my favourites from the drugstore. So, I wanted to try something else from them. And sadly, these pore patches weren’t it. I don’t think they did much of anything for me, to be honest. But I also don’t tend to have issues with my nose pores these days. So, maybe I’m not the right person to judge them.
HADA LABO MOISTURISING FACIAL SHEET MASK – $6.95
Anytime I place an Adore Beauty order, these end up in my cart. They are so nourishing and add a nice boost to my skin.
LUNA BRONZE GOOD NIGHT FACE BROZING SERUM – $48.95*
My second bottle of these. They are my winter saviour for when my face isn’t as tanned as the rest of my body. I add a few drops to my nightime moisturiser and then head to bed. Next day, my skin has a lovely, warm glow. I don’t use them as often in the summer though. So I might wait until next May to pick them up.
TOWER 28 SOS DAILY BARRIER RECOVERY CREAM – $40.00
My skin LOVED this during winter. Very nourishing and great for those night where I feared I overdid it with the actives. A strong repurchase.
BIORE DAILY DETOX EXFOLIATOR – Discontinued?
This is another in the series of ‘this was sitting empty in my shower for way too long’. I need to get better at that. In any case, it was fine. Pretty sure this range is gone now though. I couldn’t find at the regular places.
LOUNGEFACE LASH MASCARA – $37.00
Still the frontrunner for my Mascara of the Year. I’m yet to try anything I like more. And yes, I have repurchased.
THE ORDINARY HYALURONIC ACID 2% + B5 – $28.00*
Oh, this was lovely! It had a thicker texture than the original version. But this soaked into the skin without leaving my face feeling sticky. I would get this again.
RARE BEAUTY PERFECT STROKES MASCARA – $21.00
A classic fave. I already have another one in my rotation for when I’m between reviews. Or when I need a mascara that I know won’t smudge when I’m doing foundation reviews.
WELLA COLOUR FRESH COLOUR DEPOSITING MASK – $37.00
This was a great one for when I was trying to hold onto my deeper hair colour. But now that I’ve gone back to more or less what my natural hair colour is, it’s an unnecessary step. I would get this again. but not this shade.
FRANK BEAUTY GLYCOLIC BODY SCRUB – $28.00
I’ve lost count at how many tubs I’ve gone through now. Still amazing. Still have another in my shower.
EPZEN UNWIND SHOWER BALM – $18.00
I just did a big write up on this a few weeks back. So, I’ll link that here. I am however concerned that my Coles is pulling the Epzen from their store. As I haven’t been able to repurchase it. I’ll have to pick up a tub or five when I’m in Townsville.
K18 LEAVE IN MOLECULAR REPAIR HAIR MASK – $100.00
God help me, this is worth every penny. This is an essential part of my Sunday night ritual. And it’s the product that I’m crediting for making the biggest difference to my hair. I officially refuse to be without it now.
And those are my empties! Like I said, a nice quick one for your Friday. I hope you all have an amazing weekend.
Cheers and love
Emily xo
