February 2026 Empties

All my monthly trash on display for you to see. :P

1. berkley jensen Scented baby wipes Green Tea & Cucumber: I use these wipes mostly to wipe down surfaces and to clean up any makeup messes or makeup items in my collection. They have a nice, fresh scent to them. 

2. Miscellaneous Angled Brush: This brush doesn't seem to have a label on it so I'm unsure where it's from, but given that it's broken I will be parting ways with it.

3. inm Out the Door Topcoat for Nails: I like this top coat because it dries quickly and also helps smooth any minor imperfections on the nail surface so that my nail polish looks smooth and pretty.

4. Sally Hansen color therapy Strengthening Base Coat: This was a nice base that helped hydrate my nails. That said, I feel like due to damage from gel polish, my nails needed a little more TLC than this was able to provide. It did not stop my nails from peeling for the most part, but it did help smooth their surface.

5. Cococare 100% Natural Peppermint Oil: This is a nice smelling peppermint oil that works great both in my fragrance diffuser and for sprinkling around my room as a deterrent to creepy crawlies. 

6. one+other Pro-Strength Nail Polish Remover Dip: I feel like this nail polish remover makes quick work out of taking my nail polish off because it is 100% acetone. But that said, I found that this particular jar, the inside bristles that take the polish off all came loose and so I ended up having to soak the polish off my nails and that really dried them out. I've decided to take a break from pure acetone for the time being in hopes that my nails can recover from dryness and damage.

7. Secret pH Balanced Powder Fresh 24 Hr Invisible Solid Antiperspirant/Deodorant: This is a great basic deodorant. It leaves me feeling and smelling fresh while keeping me dry. 

8.  Misc concealer brush: While this brush had a great fluffy shape where it dispersed and blended concealer beautifully, unfortunately, the brush has become severely disformed and has come loose from the ferule. It is time for me to say goodbye. 

9. Green Pharmacy Cactus Squalane Ultra Moisturizing Eye Cream: I feel like the serum from this line spoiled me into thinking it was going to be very hydrating. Unfortunately, this eye cream feels quite basic and is probably good for someone getting their first eye cream who needs perhaps a tiny boost of hydration around the eye area. For me, however, it wasn't hydrating, brightening, or depuffing which are the three things I need most. I will not be getting it again. 

10.  Dove deep moisture all day lotion-soft skin: As I always say, I like to use these body washes to shave with because they give my razors a smooth glide and leave my skin feeling soft and silky. This particular body wash is very hydrating and has a light, clean, slightly powdery scent to it.

11. Dr Teal's Shea Sugar Scrub in Prebiotic Lemon Balm: I love how gritty this scrub is. This has a very refreshing, intense lemony scent to it. I personally LOVE it, I feel like it wakes me up, but I can see how it can feel intense to some people.  This leaves my skin feeling very soft, smooth, and is great for shave prep. 

12. CALA 3D Faux Mink 35151 Multi-Dimensional Lashes x2: These are a pretty fluffy-looking lash that I feel help to open up my eyes and make them look larger. That said, I find that they have the tendency to want to pop up at the inner and outer corners.  

13.  deal worthy Fresh Scent Body Lotion: This is a nice, inexpensive body lotion. It does a good job of being hydrating in a basic way. As in, it keeps my legs soft post-shave but I do feel like I'd prefer something a bit richer for the soles of my feet. 

14. equate Tropical Mango Shea Sugar Scrub:  I love how gritty this scrub is. It has a yummy, sweet mango scent to it. This leaves my skin feeling very soft and smooth, and is great for shave prep. 

15. White Barn Sunshine & Lemons Pocketbac anti-bacterial hand gel:  I like how these hand sanitizers don't dry my skin out. This particular one has a bright, intense sweet lemon scent to it. 

16. KimChi_Chic Beauty Powder Puff: I am actually so sad that it is time to replace this puff because it's so cuddly and soft on the face. I will say that since I use puffs mostly for placing powder on targeted areas like under my eyes or around my nose that it was kind of big and cumbersome to use due to its size. But that said, its texture is so nice that I was willing to overlook its size.

Disclaimer: I purchased all of the products mentioned above with the exception of the sheet masks and under eye patches which were a Christmas gift.
