Empties: December 2025

The last empties from 2025 and managed to finish some polish finally!

Boots Cotton Balls | I seem to go through a lot of these, they are good for removing polish with so would keep repurchasing.
OPI Holidazed Over You | Glad to have used this up, I have a full sized bottle and also received another mini of this for christmas. Deep navy shimmer [swatch].
L'Occitane Sparkling Leaves | A lightweight hand lotion, it sank in quickly and the fresh scent lingered. I would repurchase from L'Occitane but not this scent.
Born Pretty Store Tender | I hadn't used this up but it has turned solid and I haven't used it in a long time so getting rid of it rather than resorting it [swatch].
Bath and Body Works Black Cherry Merlot Hand Cream | Sinks in quickly, doesn't leave a film on my hands, strongly scented like Yankee Candle Black Cherry. I would repurchase.

Umberto Giannini Curl Jelly Wash Shampoo | This is very thick shampoo, I needed a lot of water to get this to spread and suds up. It smells the same as the scrunching jelly. I found this okay but probably wouldn't repurchase.
Umberto Giannini Curl Jelly Wash Conditioner | Another this was okay product, it is very thick and heavily scented. Unsure if I would repurchase.
Avon Apple Pie Lipbalm | I only used this a handful of times, the texture was very similar to Vaseline and the scent was nice and apple like. I didn't like the formula so not a repurchase.
Reeses Lipbalm | More of a dryer, waxier formula, it smelt of peanuts. I didn't mind the formula of this but don't think I'd go out of my way to repurchase.
Lush Punkin Pumpkin Bath Bomb | Shaped like a pumpkin. Scent was vague lime, cinnamon and pepper. I don't think I would repurchase this.

Wickford and Co Gingerbread Candle | This candle had a good scent throw that filled the whole room. I liked it and would repurchase if it was the right season.
Prices Candles Mulled Wine | The candle barely had any scent to it when up close and when burning it didn't have a scent throw. Disappointing, so not a repurchase.
Shay and Blue Black Tulip Perfume | I was gifted this, it is a deep, strong heavy scent, plum, peppery, woody. The scent wasn't for me.
