Empties: May 2026

Born Pretty No Smudge Topcoat | This had a very potent smell to it, not one I wanted to use on my actual nails so I just used it up top coating swatch sticks. No idea if it still is being made but not one I'd repurchase.
Cat Tail Bloody and Bruised | A purple tri-thermal polish, it still transitioned even to the end although only two different shades of purple. I like the colourway of this and intentionally made the effort to re-wear to use before it died. Lasted from 2022, and I would repurchase [swatch].

Soap and Glory Smoothie Star Body Butter | I like the formula of the body butters they sink in and don't leave me feeling too greasy, the scent of this one was like digestive biscuits so not my favourite. I've purchased body butter from Soap and Glory in a different scent. 
L'Occitaine Conditioner | I don't have any real thoughts on this, its heavily scented of herbs. Not one I'd purchase myself.
Frosted Candy Angel Fragrance Mist | This is a scent dupe of Lush's Snow Fairy. Was a basic mist, lasted okay and was significantly less money than Snow Fairy spray.

Verb Curl Foaming Gel | Strongly scented of oranges, it was a good curl foam which I would consider repurchasing if they hadn't changed the formula. It also didn't have enough hold for my hair.
Curl Smith Hydro Style Flexi Jelly | Another product which has since changed formula, I found this version okay but for the price it isn't something I would have repurchased even before the change. 


Bath and Bodyworks Kitchen Mandarin Hang Gel | A hand sanitiser which has a strong scent that lasts on your hands. I might repurchase this scent.
Revolution Eyebrow Pencil Dark Brown | A micro pencil, not small enough for single brow strokes but small enough. Worked okay, was a twist up pencil. I might repurchase but want to look for cooler, darker brown first.
