Empties: June 2026

No polishes used up this past month, I do have some dead thermals but I like the colour they have died in so will be keeping them.


Original Source Sugared Plum | Not sure what sugared plum would smell like but this was blackcurrant scent to me, it was okay but don't think I'd repurchase.
Lush Super Milk | I use this as a leave in conditioner, it is light in formula so doesn't weigh my hair down. It it really nicely scented of sweet lemon and it lasts in my hair. I will repurchase.
Lip Smacker Pepsi Lip Balm | This was Mango Pepsi, I liked this, was mango cola scented, moisturising and didn't tint my lips. I'd repurchase if I didn't have enough.
Wild Refillable Warm Cinnamon Lip Balm | Wild fixed the grainy formula on their lip balms, this is smooth and strongly scented of cinnamon. I liked it and it was mositurising and didn't tint my lips at all. Another one I would repurchase if I didn't have many already.
