Hey guys! In this January 2025 Empties & Declutter video, I’m digging into my little tub of “beauty trash” and sharing quick mini-reviews on what I actually used up (plus a couple things that basically dried up). I’ve been doing empties for years because it’s the easiest way to see what’s truly worth the money in my minimal makeup collection and everyday family-life routine. I’m covering a mix of haircare, skincare/body care, makeup, and even a bunch of winter candles. My biggest takeaways: I will always repurchase my Redken All Soft Heavy Cream Treatment because it keeps my hair moisturized and I use it every single wash. For makeup removal, I’m loyal to Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover (especially for waterproof mascara and liquid lipstick), and I love pairing it with reusable Makeup Eraser cloths. Makeup-wise, I used up my Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk lipstick (yes, I repurchased), and I’m immediately repurchasing my Stila liquid shadows—Kitten is my go-to quick mom look with a little bronzer in the crease. I also chat about switching away from whitening toothpaste after my dentist noticed my gum line receding, and I share the cozy candle lineup we burned during our North Carolina snow days—Marshmallow Fireside, Fresh Balsam, Leaves, and more.
