Empties: September 2025

Not a massive amount of empties this past month;

Boots Cotton Balls | I seem to go through a lot of these, they are good for removing polish with so would keep repurchasing.

L'Occitane Herbae Hand Lotion | This sinks in quickly, the scent does linger, it isn't my favourite scent but I really like the formula. I may repurchase if I didn't have many others to get through.

Aldi Sweet Maple Shower Gel | I liked the scent of this, biscuity, ginger, cake like. Its a dupe for Philosophy Morning Maple. I might repurchase this if it is re-released.

Umberto Giannini Dry Shampoo | I don't go through a lot of dry shampoo but when I do reach for it I like this one. Applied the night before, in the morning no white cast left in my dark hair. I will repurchase it.

Soap and Glory Original Body Spray | Had a nice spray action, the scent is very similar to Miss Dior Cherie. I like the scent and may repurchase.

The Perfume People Lorde Miserable Eau de Toilette | A good scent dupe for Lush Lord of Misrule, would buy this spray again if I didn't have the perfume from Lush itself to move on to.

Pacific Wax Co Vanilla Shortbread Candle | Finally finished this candle last month, it didn't have much of a scent throw to it so wouldn't repurchase.

  

Shopping: July 2025

July is my birthday month and I was given quite a few bits which I am grateful for;

ILNP After Hours // Cuticula Saguaro Sunset // KbShimmer Ex-Static // ILNP Take a Bow // Ethereal Midsummer Eve // Chameleon Little Mermaid

Aqua Aura // Lavender Lights // Silver Stardust

Orly was one of my go to mainstream brands, I no longer support the brand but was kindly given the 2022 collection and I will continue to use up the polishes but not purchase from myself.

Oh My Stars // Faux Fir // Lost in the Maize // Light My (Camp) Fire // Cran-Barely Believe It // I'll Misty You

  

Monthly Empties: May 2025

Boots Cotton Balls | Basic cotton ball, on the smaller side but I would repurchase for removing polish.

W7 Mosaic | This polish has changed colour due to the glitter pigments dissolving, but seeing as I've owned it for 13 years I don't think that's too bad. I liked the original colour and if it still existed I would repurchase [original swatch].
