Empties: February 2026

Not a massive amount of things used this past month;

MoYou Stamping Nail Polish Black | This is my go to black stamping polish, stamps across well and is opaque. Would repurchase.
Chenxi Liquid Peel Off Tape | This worked well, peeled off in one piece and protected the area around the nail from messy nail art. It has dried up but I would repurchase.
Bath and Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Hand Cream | A nice nourishing hand cream that sinks in quickly, it is heavily scented of vanilla. Something I would repurchase if it wasn't seasonal.

Lush Ghostie Bath Bomb | Lemony / lime / lemongrass scented, I found it more of an invigorating bath bomb than a relaxing one. I would repurchase this one.
Lush Mandarin Tea Party Soap | This was from around 2011 so I don't think it was at its peak freshness. It was scented of general Lush soap. Washed my hands but wasn't heavily scented which could be due to its age.
Wickford and Co Hot Cross Bun Candle | A strongly scented, sweet foodie scent. Nice enough to want to repurchase.

Garnier Papaya Shampoo | Basic shampoo, I didn't find it 'repairing' just cleaned my hair which is what I want for a shampoo.
John Frieda Hair Foam | I  like the foam because one box goes a long way and covers my long hair. The dye does wash out of my hair after a couple of months but it also means there isn't a harsh demarcation line of roots. I will repurchase at some point.
Superdrug Mint and Tea Tree Shower Gel | A nice shower gel, I think its a dupe of the Original Source one which is a bit more of a stronger scent.
