I absolutely love sharing my product empties! It’s the best way for me to show the products I’m actually using all the way through—and whether or not they’re worth repurchasing. Some of these products were gifted, while others I purchased myself (and many I happily buy again and again!).

So let’s get into it.

I know so many beauty bloggers talk about Medicube, but the Medicube Jelly Cream truly deserves the hype. Korean skincare is always something I trust, and Medicube has quickly become one of my biggest skincare obsessions. The products are affordable, frequently on sale, and incredibly effective. This jelly cream is one I will always repurchase. I especially love applying it before doing my makeup—it leaves my skin hydrated and perfectly prepped.

On extremely cold days, I love reaching for the COSRX Snail Mucin Serum. It’s incredibly hydrating and really helps keep my skin moisturized when the weather is harsh. My husband actually loves this one too, so we always keep a few backups on hand. I like layering it over a lightweight serum to help lock in moisture.

I’ve also gone through a bottle of the Lancôme Advanced Génifique Serum. It’s a great product and one I’ve used multiple times over the years, but truthfully I still prefer the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum. I’ve been using that one for over 10 years and it’s hard to beat. While the Lancôme serum is lovely and clearly a favorite for many people, it’s probably not one I’ll repurchase.

I’m definitely a sucker for beautiful packaging, and the Gisou Honey Gloss Ceramide Therapy Hair Mask might have some of the cutest packaging ever. It smells amazing with a subtle honey scent. I’d give this mask about a 7/10. My hair is extremely dry right now, and while it was nice, it wasn’t quite hydrating enough for me. Considering the price, I likely wouldn’t repurchase.

Speaking of haircare favorites—I am an Oribe stan. Truly, the entire line is incredible. I always buy the largest bottles of both the shampoo and conditioner because my hair has completely transformed since I started using them. I also recently finished their hair mask, and it made such a difference. My hair feels noticeably more hydrated whenever I incorporate it into my routine.

Another brand I love is Kérastase. The Anti-Frizz Glaze Milk is absolutely amazing. I apply it after towel-drying my hair and it helps smooth everything out beautifully. This is a product that will always stay in my routine and something I will definitely repurchase.

This next one used to be something I totally gatekept—but I can’t anymore! I always keep organic coconut oil on hand and actually have it set up on Amazon Subscribe & Save so I never run out. I use it as an in-shower lotion right before stepping out. During the humid New Jersey summers, this is honestly all I need for body moisture.

I also finished the Lume Body Wash. It’s a solid product, but I actually prefer the bar soap version they sell. This might sound funny, but the bright orange bottle doesn’t quite match my aesthetically pleasing shower setup. I also just prefer using a bar soap in general.

For skincare, the Ole Henriksen Face the Truth Gel Cleanser is one of my all-time favorite morning cleansers. I absolutely love orange-scented products, and this one wakes up my skin and feels so refreshing. It’s definitely a staple in my routine and something I will always repurchase.

I also finished the Ole Henriksen Truth Barrier Booster Orange Ferment Vitamin C Essence. I enjoy using it and it layers nicely with the rest of my skincare, but I’m honestly not sure if it’s making a huge difference in my skin. It’s a nice step, but not necessarily a must-have for me.

Lastly, I tried the Naturium The Brightener Vitamin C Body Wash. I used the entire bottle, but I wasn’t completely sold on it. The scent wasn’t my favorite, and overall it didn’t stand out enough for me to repurchase right now.

I always find product empties to be the most honest way to talk about beauty products. When you actually finish something, you really know whether it worked for you or not. Some of these will definitely stay in my routine for years to come, while others were fun to try but probably won’t make it back into my cart.
