2022 Empties

It’s here! The long awaited empties from the year of 2022. Now usually I would have done igtv’s throughout the year on the products. However insta decided to be a little b and not upload longer form videos. This year will be different, rest assured. But it means that I didn’t get to show product throughout the year. So this list might come as a bit of a shock haha, it’s lonnnng!

That being said, this is not a normal amount of product to go through. Let’s be very very clear on that. I am sent a lot of product, I try a lot of product. It’s a job for me. The average human just looking for a good skincare routine does not need all of this.

Let’s get into it!

The Stats:

Total products: 290 (239 last year)

Top three most used products by number:

• 1. Avene Thermal Water
• 2. Avene Rehydrating Serum
• 3. Ultra Violette Supreme Screen

Top five most used brands by number:

• 1. Avene
• 2. Pixi Beauty
• 3. The Body Shop
• 4. Kat Burki
• 5. Dermalogica

Shock hit of the year:

TBH Rebound Serum! I thought I would like this, I did not expect to fall in love with this. It’s every part of a creamy, soothing serum, in gel form. Perfection for sweaty skins, for oily skins, for everyone who needs soothing but isn’t able to necessarily tolerate a creamier serum.

Product of the year:

I mean it’s gotta be the Avene Rehydrating Serum! I mean girlie saved my life more times than I can count this year.

Best smeller award:

Kat Burki Cleansing Balm… absolutely beautiful fresh scent.
