Ever since my first empties post and video a few months back, I’ve been collecting empty bottles and tubes of other favorite products I’ve used up. While it’s not always easy to wait until the end to share these with you, it’s important to me that you Gems have confirmation that these are products I actually use regularly. I’m constantly buying and trying new beauty products, so if I actually make it to the bottom of something, you know it has to be good!

Products I’ve Used Up:
Kenra Professional High Grip Spray [c/o]
This grip hair spray adds life and lift to your hair without that crunchy, sticky feel. Use a little for a soft hold or spray a few times for styles that have a harder time staying in place.
Kat Von D Lock-It Setting Powder
In Photoshop, there’s a tool you can use that will give everything a bit of a blur to smooth out imperfections. This powder is like that only IRL. Blemishes, discoloration, fine lines, pores – they all look diffused and less apparent with this miracle powder. The Lock-It Setting Powder Brush is the perfect partner for this because it gently lays the powder on top of your look without allowing it to settle into creases. It’s my FAVORITE and most used make up brush!
Kat Von D Lock-It Concealer Crème
My favorite thing about this concealer is its Hydra-Boost Complex™ that hydrates the skin, which is especially important around the under eye area. No one likes a concealer that makes under eye circles and creases look more prominent! Use the Lock-It Edge Concealer Brush for smooth, even, and optimized coverage.
Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask
This conditioning mask is a hero for my hair because it provides intense hydration without weighing my thin hair down. I use this religiously every week to revive my locks and undo the damage of blow drying and curling my hair. I’ll never not have this ready to go in my shower! I also keep a travel size one around to take with me on trips.
RED EARTH Brighten Rejuvenating Serum
This serum will leave your face feeling bright, smooth, and ready to take on the day. I always use a moisturizer at night, but I occasionally skip it in the morning to avoid my skin looking greasy. It keeps my skin looking fresh and hydrated even on the days were I skip the extra moisturizer step! It also absorbs quickly so you can continue on with the rest of your skincare and makeup routine right away without waiting for it to soak in!
