August 2026 Empties

A monthly record of what has been used up, and whether it deserves to be replaced.

❤️ – Repurchased Already
😍 – Would repurchase 
😢 – Not for me


Skincare

😍 The Inkey List Caffiene Eye Cream

A solid budget friendly morning eye cream for hydration and depuffing. For dark circles specifically, there are better options like the Sunday Riley Autocorrect or a good concealer. But for the price, it earns its place. 

❤️  Kate Somerville Goat Milk Cleanser

My favourite cleanser, and one I suspect I will continue to buy indefinitely. Some things do not need to be reconsidered. 

😍 Institut Esthederm Osmoclean Gentle Deep Pore Cleanser

A full review is coming, but the short version is that it did genuinely good things for my skin. Worth watching for. 

😢 Naturium Azelaic Topical Acid 10%


Not actually an empty, and there is a reason for that. A full review will explain everything. Watch this space. 

😍 Curel Deep Moisture Spray

Bought for a July holiday and used throughout. A reliable hydrating mist that does exactly what it promises. 


😍 Kate Somerville HydraKate Recharging Serum

Another one finished, and another product I will definitely repurchase from Kate Somerville. It’s just a really good hydrating serum that plumps and keeps skin comfortable throughout the day.

😍 Naturium Vitamin C Complex


This one really helps brighten the complexion consistently and keeps skin looking even and healthy. One of the better vitamin c serums I have used at this price point. 

😍 Pixi Antioxidant Mist

An essence rich mist that hydrates soothes and refreshes. Works well under skincare or as a mist you use when you want to top up hydration.

Body Care

😍 Coola Radical Recovery Lotion


Check out my review I recently posted for this, but I bought this again for my holiday this year, and it just works wonders on skin that’s been exposed to too much sun.
