Epic Empties | End of 2021 Edition

With the year coming to a close, I'm sharing all the products I've used up in my latest epic empties video! From makeup to hair care, body care, skincare and even some random bits, there's a bit of everything when it comes to the beauty products I've reached for in the last year. Make sure to check out the video below for mini-reviews of each product!

Festive Glam | Full Coverage Makeup Look

It's the most wonderful time of the year, as they like to say! I always gravitate toward more statement makeup (cue that bold red lip and shimmery shadows) when the holidays roll around, so I figured I would share an easy, full coverage makeup look that can be achieved in a matter of a few minutes. 

Zion Health Wellness Products | Review

I'm always on the lookout for new cruelty-free brands to try out, so I was super excited to be introduced to Zion Health* and a few of their hair and body products. Now, what makes this brand really stand out is that they pride themselves in creating products made out of clay! I've been a long-time fan of this ingredient and even shared a DIY face mask recipe on the blog a few years ago now. Clay has many detoxifying properties and has been used in wellness treatments for centuries. Based out of San Francisco, Zion Health specializes in making products that are natural and made in the USA, with most of their products being vegan! I received a few products to try out, which I've been testing out and I'm excited to share my thoughts with you.

MERIT BEAUTY | Review + Five-Minute Minimalist Makeup Look

These days, the market is so saturated with emerging beauty brands that it takes a lot to grab my attention. Merit Beauty* is one that stood out from the rest to me. The brand was founded by Katherine Power, who is also the co-founder of Avaline Wine alongside Cameron Diaz. I was immediately drawn by the simplicity and ethos of the brand, featuring a small selection of products meant to keep your makeup routine fresh and most importantly, with no harm done as the ingredients are clean and non-toxic. I was excited to put these luxury products to the test in my latest video and share my thoughts and first impressions with you.

EPIC EMPTIES | One Year In The Making

Well, it has happened... I broke my own personal streak of posting my empties seasonally as it's coming up on a year that I haven't shared any on here! Rest assured, I've still been holding onto my used up products and am ready to spill the beans in this virtual show and tell. If you're new here, I enjoy sharing (and watching) empties as to me they are the best way to get a grasp on if a product is actually worth giving a try. No better testament to the performance of a product than hearing someone's thoughts following every last bit of it having been scooped out or scraped off, right?
