It has been a while since I last did an update on my empties and the bag where I keep them was beginning to get very full. Along with many other things that changed over the past year looking through my empties also shows some of the changes that I am making in my makeup and skincare routines that I will discuss while sharing my empty products.
I also got rid of quite a few makeup products this season as they have been open a long time and needed to be decluttered as their consistency and texture were changing which means that that part of the empties is even bigger than normal.
Body Care/Haircare
If you have followed this series at all you know that I really love the Body Shop body creams and this shows my final two containers of them. I have officially switched to some unpackaged body lotions which are working well for me as I use them only after I bathe or shower and the lotion melts into the skin. I also have a small body lotion from my advent calendar that smelled like whipped cream and was so nice.
This middle picture represents some things that I finished up this week after I had already taken the other photos. The first is a face mask that I have been working through for years and purchased two years ago in an after christmas sale. It came in a package with 4 others that I am still working through as well. I also have a shampoo that I really enjoyed. I have just started trying again to use a solid shampoo however, but it has been a struggle for me to find one that works with my dandruff. This shampoo had tea tree oil in it however so I am going to try using some straight tea tree oil mixed with the solid shampoo and see if that would work. I also finished up a shaving cream that was Nigel’s that he wasn’t using.
I had previously finished a shaving cream of my own as well that was nice, but moving forward I am just going to be using soap or conditioner which I have heard works well also. I finished up another tub of my favourite makeup remover Ultrabland and although I haven’t been using as much lately as I haven’t been wearing as much makeup I still do love it when I do use it. I also had a small body wash that I use as bubble bath and small body lotion from a hotel visit early last year.

Can I ask which unpackaged body lotion you use? I’d honestly never even considered an unpackaged body lotion before!
