There’s something so satisfying about finishing a product—especially when it’s one that truly works! This month, my empties list includes skincare must-haves, self-care essentials, and a few samples that left a lasting impression. Let’s dive into what I used up in August 2024 and whether these products are worth repurchasing!

January 2024 Empties

September Empties

Hey there, beauty enthusiasts! It's that time again when I've used up some fantastic products that have become absolute must-haves in my daily routine. From skincare saviors to haircare heroes, I'm excited to share my monthly empties with you. Let's dive right in!

Empties for May 2023

I am happy to report my progress for the month of August. I feel I did a good job with emptying quite a few products. So here is what I finished off. 

August 2022 empties

I don't notice stark differences in sheet masks. For me, they are a source of hydration and moisturizing my face. However, this Tony Moly sheet mask was exceptionally good. I could literally feel the collagen plumping my skin and the after glow was noticeable. 

2. Go-To skincare exfoliating swipeys

These are exfoliating pads cum chemical peel swabs which came in my boxycharm premium box. I have already reviewed them. You can read my detailed review here. 

 3. Art Deco mineral powder 

I have been meaning to do a full fledge review on this product when I started using this product. Then I got distracted and busy and kept putting it off that I shall take pictures one day and then review the powder. Then the brand shut down in Pakistan and I felt what's the point? Anyhow, there was a time when I considered this powder to be an amazing for setting makeup but as I progressed in my makeup exposure, I realized, no, its quite an average product. Despite being average, it was for Rs. 1800 years back. It fails to keep the makeup matte. I can do without this powder and my face will end up looking dewy and oily just like it does when this powder is applied to my face. I will not suggest anyone opting for this powder. Glad I am done with it. 

4. Pigeon Breast Pads 

Man, this product needs a separate review post, which I am going to do in this month Inshallah. Finding the right breast pads for myself has been a journey. There is so little awareness around maternity products and breastfeeding, its a literal struggle. These are the best breast pads right now in the market that come in the most affordable price tag. I am on my box 2 now and I swear by these. Never have I had a visible leak with these on. 

5. Tresemme sulphate free shampoo 

I am not a Tresemme fan. Infact I blame the brand for my early greys. I reviewed one of their shampoos almost a decade back which I doubted was greying my hair. When I googled, turned out, I wasn't wrong. Still I purchased this shampoo as it was sulphate free and I had gotten keratin done so this was an affordable sulphate free shampoo. Other than that, its a pretty average off the shelf daily shampoo. 

6. Gilette Pro sensitive skin shaving foam 

My go to product for shaving in the shower. 

Empties - August 2022

Empties - August 2022

This year started off with me being in post natal recovery phase. I was at home, transitioning into a mother and barely managing myself, let alone any beauty routines or skin care regimens. January 2022 had very few empties. Below are to name a few: 

Empties - January 2022

Some months are better than others in terms of my Empties project. I am feeling quite accomplished to see the number of products I managed to finish in the month of July 2021. Its not that I tend to overuse or waste products just so to hit the target. No! I don't. I use them as per requirement and really happy to see the results. Makes me proud to think I am pretty much on track. So here is what I finished in the month of July. 

Empties - July 2021

I started this in November, posting about my empties each month to get a sense of achievement and also to monitor my product usage and practice impulsive shopping control. My aim is to clear my previous stash before opting to buy new products and hoarding stuff. I feel so far my progress has been slow given my laziness. However the deadline to post something every month provides me the required motivation to actually use stuff, rather than letting it sit and rot. 

Here are a few products I finished in December. 

Empties for December 2020

I have been meaning to do this for a while now, wanting to post my empties every month. Last month I realized that I need to utilize products from my existing stash before cluttering further as I have run out of space. So here are a few products which I finished in the month of November 2020. 

I thought of doing a quick post on my most used products in any given month. Below are a few products I found myself reaching for all along in November. Let me know if any of the products is currently in your use and also your favorite
