Summer Empties

body care, SPF, a little makeup and hair

There’s something oddly satisfying about an empty beauty product, isn’t there? It means it was good enough to earn its keep, used consistently and loved all the way to the very last drop!

In the last two weeks I found myself running out of more products than usual which felt like the perfect reason to round up some summer empty-bottle MVPs. We’re talking the products I squeezed, scraped and pumped until there was nothing left and reordered before they were totally gone. Think body care for summer skin, SPF, a little makeup and the hair products I never let the shower go without.

Westman Atelier Super Loaded Bronzing Drops
My summer secret to looking like I just got back from vacation. Just a dab on my cheeks, over my nose and on my forehead has people asking where we just got back from. I ran out a couple weeks ago but already had my backup ordered from her last sale. Phew!

Soft Services Speed Soak Gel
This is the fastest way to hydrate because it dries so quickly, disappearing almost instantly. It’s perfect for busy mornings when you want/need to get dressed immediately and can’t wait for a dry down. I also like that it’s fragrance-free.

OSEA Anti-Aging Body Balm
This is what I reach for when my skin needs a little more. It’s rich, nourishing, and one of those products that makes your whole body feel more supple. Ideal for evenings before bed or when you’re showing more skin and want it to be fully nourished.
