Empties #17 | July 2024 To December 2024

I’ve been on a major decluttering kick lately, especially when it comes to using up some of the massive amount of Skincare, Body Care and Fragrances that I own. Well a couple of days ago I came across the Bag that I keep all of my Empty Products in, and after sorting through it into what could and what couldn’t be recycled, I thought that I would tell you everything that i’ve used up lately and whether or not I would repurchase it again.

Beard.

  • The Perfume People Me Outback Mate Beard Oil.

What I wouldn’t repurchase.

  • The Perfume People Me Outback Mate Beard Oil. This was an amazing Beard Oil with a delicious fresh and medicinal yet ever so slightly zesty Eucalyptus and Lemongrass scent that left my Beard feeling incredibly silky soft, smooth, thicker, fuller and intensely hydrated, but it just didn’t smell enough of Lemongrass for me to totally love it.

Hair.

This was a great thin and lightweight SPF that left my Skin feeling incredibly silky soft, smooth, protected and intensely hydrated as well as looking a little bit brighter, but because I already use a Vitamin C Serum in my Morning Skincare Routine, having Vitamin C in my SPF was kind of pointless.
