8 Beauty Empties Worth Your Attention

Done and done.

Confession: I have been planning this particular newsletter for months. However I’ve been delinquent on taking photos of the products I finished—useful for illustrating purposes, sure, but more so to keep track of what I’ve actually used to the last drop. (I know that sounds silly, but fellow editors will understand—we try a lot of stuff, and I genuinely forget!!!) Anyway, I finally amassed eight products, which feels like a solid, newsletter-worthy list. Of all the things I test, these were worth hitting pan—and many of them are reasonably affordable too (just one is over $100).

Questions about any of the below? LMK in the comments. And heads up: I’m kicking this one off for everyone, but only paid subs will get to see the full guide.

Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench® Hyaluronic Cloud Hydrating Body Cream, $40, sephora.com

True to its name, this body cream really does feel like a cloud. It’s light and fluffy, and soaks in nicely while still being hydrating. I love it for summer when thicker creams feel too heavy.

PAUME All-in-One Cuticle and Nail Cream, $28 $22, amazon.com

I’ve squeezed out every last drop of this cream, which is miraculous at fixing cracked, sad cuticles. Funnily enough, my friend Jen just texted about this line of hand-care products, to which I sent her an enthusiastic two thumbs up. Rihanna’s reportedly a fan, too!

Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + Depuffing Concealer, $32, sephora.com

It’s hard to tell from this pic, but I’m down to the dregs of this concealer. I can’t promise it will help with any depuffing, but it’s easily the creamiest, least cakey under-eye concealer formula I’ve tried, with the best color matching (there are 31 shades).
