Ladies, have you ever stopped to think about which beauty products you consistently repurchase because you love them so much that you reach the bottom of the container? It’s interesting to reflect on our “empties,” those products we love so much that they are completely used up. Let’s dive into this topic, as it has been a while since we’ve explored the phenomenon of beauty empties!
(Before we delve deeper, it’s worth mentioning that there are some fantastic sales happening right now. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is still going strong, and Ulta is currently running an amazing buy-one-get-one (BOGO) deal on travel-size products, perfect for trying out new items without a big commitment.)
Understanding Why I Rarely Finish Beauty Products
With my tendency to switch between a myriad of different beauty products, I find it quite challenging to finish any product completely. It’s rare for me to reach the bottom of a jar or tube, let alone to feel an urgent need to repurchase a specific item immediately. However, even within my extensive collection, there are a few standout products that I consistently repurchase due to their effectiveness. I’m excited to share my go-to beauty empties, and I hope you will share yours too!
Top Beauty Products I Repurchase Regularly
Essential Skincare Products I Keep Buying
My Latest Skincare Routine: As part of my daily skincare regimen, I utilize a peptide serum, followed by Vitamin C, a hydrating moisturizer, and a protective sunscreen. I also reserve my prescription tretinoin for nighttime use. Occasionally, I incorporate a BHA treatment, an overnight mask, a 20-minute mask, or a quick 1- to 5-minute mask (but never all at once!). When my skin feels particularly parched, I turn to a snail essence paired with a deeply nourishing cream that provides intense hydration.
Hair Care Products I Can’t Live Without
Currently identifying as somewhere between 2C and 3A in terms of my wavy/curly hair, I focus on avoiding sulfates, especially since I’ve started receiving keratin treatments. Here are my go-to hair care products that have proven their worth:
- Kinky Curly shampoo, conditioner, and gel (Come Clean, Knot Today, Curling Custard) [Target] [Amazon]
- Giovanni Deep Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner [Amazon]
- Trader Joe’s Tea Tree Oil shampoo & conditioner [Amazon]
- Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat & Humidity Stronger Hold Gel [Amazon]
- Ecoslay Orange Marmalade gel [Amazon] [Ecoslay]
- V05 Hot Oil [Amazon] — This product takes me back to my younger days when I swam frequently; it’s a quick and easy mask compared to the lengthy treatments that require soaking your hair for 30 minutes, making it my top choice for a fast fix.
