I’d love to do that spiel I do where I’m like ‘oh my god another month is over’, but to be honest I’m just glad to see the back of 2020. I haven’t got a year of makeup empties roundup for you… as I moved in November and I didn’t particularly want to devote an entire box to empty things I’m hoarding for really no reason! haha! Also I’ve used up a lot less this year than in prior years. So, I’m sure it’ll be back for 2021, but for the meantime, I hope you enjoy my December 2020 Empties…!
You know the drill! I go through my makeup, skincare & haircare trash and tell you what I think about each thing and whether I’d repurchase them.
Sanctuary Spa Luxury Bath Float
I actually bought this when I was staying overnight in a hotel in October and the hotel room had a bath and I wanted to make the most of it! And then the flat I moved into in November also has a bath (and a great one at that) and so weekly baths have become a bit of a routine in my life! So safe to say you’ll start seeing these popping up in my empties posts! I actually really liked this one and it’ll deffo be one I pick up again in the future
Max Factor Brow Shaper
Unless something miraculous comes up in the next few months, you’ll be seeing this in empties for quite a while still! It’s just my favourite brow pencil, I always pick up 3 when they’re on 3for2 and I love them! Just go through them quite quickly.
L’Oreal Infaillible Magic Essence Drops
If you’ve read yesterday’s blog post, you’ll know there is a primer I’m aiming to use up first before I go back and do things like repurchase this one. However, this is one of my favourite primers ever and earned its spot in my 2020 favourites, and so I’ll definitely repurchase at some point. Especially as this is already bottle 2
Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser
Another one of my 2020 favourites, this has totally changed the way I wash my face… sounds weird but hear me out! I know use a Micellar Water to get the most of the makeup off, and then follow up with this. And I’ve been loving it! Already have another bottle in the cupboard ready to go!
Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer x2
Just a classic concealer. It’s recently had a face lift with a whole new bottle and an expanded shade range. But to be fair, it’s still the same great concealer and I will 100% be repurchasing this over and over!
Dove Go Fresh Anti Perspirant
I mean it’s a little boring, but it did the job. I tend to buy whatever is on offer…
Monday’s Child Skin Perfecting Oil
I don’t want to rave about this any more than I already do, because you’ll probably get bored! However, it’s a favourite and I really enjoyed it. It did wonders for my skin and I have already repurchased.
Superdrug Nail Polish Remover Pads
I mean they’re cheap and cheerful. You do have to rub a little longer than you’d want, but they do get your nail polish off with little effort and I like how they’re pre-soaked and so easy to just have in your drawer ready to go. Already have another pack (as they were on offer), but I would probably pick up more…!
CYO Lifeproof Foundation
My aim was to use this up over 2019 and I reached my aim! Really enjoyed this foundation and while I would probably repurchase I believe it’s been discontinued (at least you can’t find it anywhere) so looks like I won’t be!
And there you have it! What did you use up over the month of December or even over 2020 would love to know!

Love the collection concealer! xx
Danielle’s Beauty Blog
It’s wonderful to see a post that includes products that have been used until they are empty! I appreciated this review and would like to check out a few of these!
Awww glad you enjoyed it! x
I love these empties posts! Will have to try the Monday’s child skin oil for sure!? Thanks for sharing Katie x
Aww no problem! And their face oil is really nice! x
So many amazing products! I need a new nail polish remover now that Bourjois has left the UK, as their tub was my absolute favourite. I’ll have to look into those pads xx

OMG they’ve completely gone?! I just thought Superdrug had stopped stocking them?! Nooo they used to make some of my favs! x
I love reading empties posts! I’ve been slowly working my way through my beauty stash and have got through most of it which I’m proud of. I love anything by Sanctuary as I really like the smell!
Tash – A Girl with a View
I know! Their body scrub is also really nice! x
What a great line up of products! I want to try the L’oreal primer you mentioned. I rarely use a primer, but this year I want to step up my makeup game. Thanks for sharing these great items.
Aww no problem! Fingers crossed 2021 is the year for you! x
Great selection of empties and a fab post! Xx
Awww thanks! x

I’ve used up so many collection concealers, I don’t even want to know! haha x
I love reading empties posts and seeing what people think of a variety of products. I’m a huge fan of the cleanse and polish too.
I only discovered it in 2020 and I’m already OBSESSED!
It’s good to know that some of these will be re-purchased by you- I love it when you find the perfect product that you can keep buying again and again x
Yeah, I discovered so many of them last year! x
I love reading posts like this – particularly for the makeup recs as I’m really not very knowledgeable about makeup! I’ll definitely be checking out some of these products!
Aww glad I could help! x
I do love a good empty bottle to the last drop. It’s nice that you enjoyed the products and you will buy again.
Oh finishing up things is so satisfying right!?
You can always tell when a product is good when you ask yourself if you will repurchase it so thanks for sharing your beauty opinions!

Amazed at how many empties you have in a month! I feel like all my products last forever (even when I’m ready for them to be empty!). Thanks for sharing!
To be fair, I work really hard to finish things up! haha x
I never heard of L’Oréal Infallible Magic Essence Drops until now! You have me intrigued. I am going to look for this in Canada. Thanks for sharing!

No problem! Hope you can get them over there! haha x
Amazing, thank you for the recommendation
No problem! Thanks for reading! x
I love the idea of an Empties post – this made for a really interesting read.
My neighbour gave me a Sanctuary Spa gift set for Xmas, and their foaming bath soak was in it.
If I like it when I use it, then I’ll definitely look into the Luxury Bath Float because I find Sanctuary Spa’s products really invigorating.
Your thoughts on the Hot Cloth Cleanser also caught my eye.
Someone recommended Liz Earle’s products to me a few months ago. I haven’t decided what to try out yet but you can never have enough cleansers.
Thanks for sharing x

Awww no problem! Love Sanctuary Spa! x
Great items! Sadly I’m not much of a fan of makeup so I won’t need majority of what’s on that list. I hope you can share your January favorites next time!

Of course, I’ll be back with favourites and empties at the end of January! x
The Sanctuary Spa Luxury Bath Float is one of my favourites and I always have a bottle or two of it at the end of the bath, along with one or two of their other products.
They all smell amazing right?! x
