Empties: September 2026

Only a couple of things used up this past month;

Barry M Mani Mask | This is a nude polish which I used as a base coat, I have been trying to wear one more often to avoid staining. I did like this and if it is still available I would repurchase however I have plenty base coats to get through.

Orly Cuticle Oil^ | The oil had a brush style applicator which was good for getting both cuticles and under the nail length. The scent is sweet citrus and it sinks in quickly so you can get on with your day. I did like this but I'm no longer purchasing from Orly so won't be repurchasing.

CurlSmith Hair Shine Oil | I'd used about 3/4 of this bottle before it went off. It changed from yellow to clear and smelt off. This may have been because it was particularly hot this past summer. The formula was too intense for my hair needs and I wouldn't repurchase. I did however like the dropper style applicator.

Bath and Bodyworks Sparkling Watermelon Hand Sanitiser | This was strongly scented of watermelon and it did linger for a few hours on my hands. I liked it and would repurchase.
