Okay, two things. One: I had a hard time keeping up with my empty products. I haven’t done an Empties blogposts since May. And two: be prepared. This blogpost is full. Full of used up, natural, cruelty free skincare, makeup, hair care, dental care and more. Much. Much more. Are you ready to find out what (not) to buy next?

Quick disclaimer for this empties post!

I’m sorry I didn’t have a lot of time these past couple of months, to write empties posts . I thought about just letting go of this category on my website. But I think it is so important to really use up products and to pick your new products consciously. And I hope these empties post will inspire you to do both.

Obviously, we are going to go through this rather quickly, because it’s a lot of empty products. This is all the beauty trash this 4 girl household has accumulated over the past 3 months. That’s wby this Empties blogpost is going to be a little different from the rest, to save us both some time. The next Empties post will be back to normal: fewer products and more information about the products.

If you hover over the photo’s you will see the name of the product. If you click on the image you will be directed to either the shop where I bought the product or the review I wrote about the product [opens in new tab]. So, if you are curious about a product I recommend, just click on it and you will learn more about the product and brand.

YSL is not a cruelty free brand so even though the quality of their products is great, I cannot support a makeup brand that doesn’t take responsibility for their role in animal cruelty. Especially when it is big brands like Dior, YSL and Chanel. If these big cosmetics brands would take a stance, together, they could achieve so much, instead they choose money over nature and that is not something I can get behind.

Catrice and Make-up Revolution are considered cruelty free drugstore brands. I thought the makeup brush cleansers were pretty good, but I have decided to go for a more natural option. The eyebrow pencil from Catrice was epically bad. Don’t ever buy that. The cashmere brush is from Clarisonic. Another brand that is not cruelty free. I don’t want to buy a new brush head, but I also don’t want to throw out a well functioning Clarisonic, so for now I remain undecided about what to do with this brand/product.
