7 More Beauty Empties Worth Your Attention

Totally dunzo.

Back, back again. It’s been a minute (seven months) since I shared some of the beauty products I totally used up, so I’m overdue. Of course there were more—though not many, plight of the overstocked beauty editor—but I’m bad at taking pics and can’t remember. So! Here’s what earned the honor of being documented.

Dieux Instant Angel, $45
I’ve talked about Dieux multiple times before but I don’t think I discussed this particular moisturizer yet. I love it, it’s great, I squeezed out every last drop (clearly). Under $50 too! Better for nighttime routines and dry skin types—if you’re oily, go for Air Angel instead.

Ilia Limitless Mascara, $29
A good, reliable daytime mascara that didn’t have major flake-age. I give it a 8/10 if you like a more natural look.

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 1, $55
Medik8 offers their retinal serum in different potencies so you can either build up to a stronger formula or choose the level your skin likes best. I started with the lowest and loved it for my sensitive skin—I might bump up to 3, but honestly I really liked 1 so maybe not! We’ll SEE! Also yes, it’s a retinal, not a retinol, which just means it’s a more stable form of retinoid (and ostensibly less irritating).

Tula 24/7 Ultra Hydration Serum, $48

My not-so-hot take is that I think a lot of hyaluronic acid serums don’t really do anything. This is one of the only ones I’ve used that felt like it actually hydrated my skin, and it didn’t break me out or cause any other issues. Be sure to apply it to damp skin for the best results!
