Empties: October 2026

A Certain Becca Apple, Cinnamon Cuticle Oil | I really like the formula on this brand cuticle oil, nicely scented and sinks in quickly. I would repurchase but I don't know if the brand still exists.
Bath and Bodyworks Black Cherry Merlot Hand Sanitiser | These are very strongly scented and it lasts on your hands, this one is a dark cherry scent I don't smell the merlot but I would repurchase.
Bath and Bodyworks Sweater Weather Hand Sanitiser | Again it is strongly scented and it lasts. This one to me smells woody, like a masculine cologne. 

CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser | This is pretty basic but it does what it is supposed to. It didn't sting the way a Simple one, it also wasn't overly stripping and it is one I've repurchased.
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.

Wickford & Co Carrot Cake Candle | Started this candle in Spring, but now we are back in candle season I've finished this one. It was cake scented, not carrot cake specifically but definitely made the room smell like a cake being baked. I would repurchase but it was a spring candle so not available.
