September 2026 Empties

Hi guys!

Welcome to this month’s edition of my empties. I’ve got 14 products to chat about, so grab a cuppa and enjoy the read. For anything that’s popped up before, I’ll keep it short and sweet!

Neutrogena Clear & Radiant Face Wash

I’ll keep this short since this is almost always in my monthly empties! I’ve been using it for over 10 years now, and it’s pretty much always my first cleanse. If I’m dealing with a breakout, I’ll even use it for both my first and second cleanse. It’s a permanent staple in my skincare stash.

Medik8 Cream Cleanse

This is my second tube of this. This is a lovely cream cleanser. I always used this as my morning cleanse and I alternated between 1st and 2nd cleanse in the evening and it worked a dream. Removed all makeup without drying the skin. I would definitely repurchase this.

Drunk Elephant C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream

I have tried this before and loved it so I asked for it for my birthday. You get instant gratification with this as the slightly yellow colour helps brighten the under eyes straight away. It also leaves the under eye area feeling hydrated and soft. I did feel my dark circles were less noticeable when using it, so I would definitely repurchase.

Disciple Shadow Work (AHA/BHA Face Serum)

I used this twice a week to exfoliate my skin, helping to resurface it and remove any dead skin cells. It was a lovely serum that left my skin feeling good without drying it out. Definitely a glycolic acid I would repurchase.

Ella & Jo Plump & Protect 

I was so late to the game with all things Ella & Jo, but last Christmas I asked my sister to pick me up the Skincare Starter Set, and I’ve slowly been working my way through the products. This is a beautiful face cream. My skin was so smooth after use for the day and an added bonus is that was had spf 30 in it. Definitely one I will repurchase.

Ella & Jo Relax & Renew Night Cream

Ah and the night cream to match the day cream. I absolutely loved this. My face felt so hydrated and soft after using this. Definite repurchase.

Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer in Vanilla

I have repurchased this many times as I use this on any breakouts or rosacea areas and it works a treat. It is creamy and full coverage and covers any spots so definitely a repurchase for me.

Illamasqua Beyond Foundation in Light 1

I used this as a mixer foundation and got on well with it most of the time. However, I did find that it didn’t mix well with some foundations, and the coverage was more medium than full. For that reason, I probably wouldn’t repurchase it.

Catrice Gel Glide Long-Lasting Lip Liner in Line Me Softly

Catrice brought out these new lip liners and I just had to try one. I absolutely love it. It is so soft, the colour payoff is unreal and it lasts all day. The shade is also the perfect nude for me, so I will definitely be buying more, especially for just €2.99.

17 Lip Liner in Dusty Pink

Again, how many times have I spoken about this lipliner. I love the colour, that it is creamy, easy to apply and lasts all day (I have applied only the liner at times). Definite repurchase. Also only €3.50 in Boots.

Essence 8hr Matte Comfort Lipliner in Cushion Talk

How many times have I spoken about this lipliner. Costs about €2.80 and is super pigmented, lasts all day and always a repurchase.

Soap & Glory Let’s Get Tropical

I picked this a while ago to try as I had heard great things about it. It is lovely and very light on the skin but skin still felt lovely and hydrated after use.

L’Occitane Cherry Blossom Hand Cream

My friend bought this for me for my birthday last year, and as soon as I tried it, I loved it! It’s so hydrating and leaves my hands feeling really soft without any sticky or greasy feeling. I actually have six of these now, they were gifts, but I’d happily add a few more to my collection.

Larry King Spoilt for Choice Hair Oil

I alternated this hair oil with my Olaplex hair oil and really enjoyed using it. It wasn’t too oily and didn’t leave my hair feeling greasy, which is always a bonus! It’s definitely one I would repurchase and recommend.
