This November 2023 empties review features yet another initimate group of beauty products, which is definitely the theme for the year. As I have been working on this project for several years, I have hit that point where I am working on tedius items instead of quick hits. Lately, I have been wearing less makeup to allow my skin and lips to breathe. With all of these items I am including my detailed reviews as I note if the product is worth buying again.
Skincare
I am staring this November 2023 empties review with four skincare items.
- Lancer The Method: Polish: This exfoliator does the job. The grit is fine, and borderline on being too rough, but it is manageable. It almost feels like it has a warming sensation. I will not repurchase as I prefer chemical over physicial exfoliants.
- Lancer Ultra Hydrating Serum: This serum sinks into the skin well and layers just fine with other skincare and makeup. It provides a light level of hydration, but I would not skip moisturizer. Ultimately, this is not special enough to go for the full size.
- Goldfaden MD Wake Up Call Overnight Regenerative Facial Treatment: This is an overnight moisturizer made to lock in hydration. I think that it works just as well as any moisturizer. There is nothing over the top about it to make me buy it again. I would love to hear a review from someone with dry skin.
- wet n wild Care Bears Resting Bear Face Cleansing Balm: This oil-based makeup removing cleanser is amazing for getting your face fully clean, even with waterproof makeup. It does not irritate my eyes or leave the skin feeling oily. I would love to see wet n wild make this product permanent instead of limited edition, as it is worth the repurchase. You can read more about this in my wet n wild Care Bears review.
Bodycare
I am ending with four body care related items.
- Soap & Glory Clean On Me: I have reviewed this body wash so many times! It has a thick and creamy formula that moisturizes the skin while it effectively cleanses. Also, it is perfumed with the brand’s signature Original Pink scent. I always get this in holiday gift sets.
- Udderly Smooth Hand Cream: This used to be my go-to hand cream, but I have a lot of creams to use up right now. I get this bottle at Dollar Tree and it lasts me a good time along with the low price! I find that it keeps my hands moisturized, as I apply it right before bed. The formula is not greasy or heavy. I will always repurchase it.
- Secret Derma+ Cooling 48 Hr Invisible Gel + Aloe: This clear gel deodorant claims to last 48 hours, and that is a lie. I have to reapply it several times a day as it just gives out. If you will be sweating and/or wearing this outside in the heat, beware that it will not work out. This has never been a problem with other deodorants. It can leave white marks on your clothes if it is not 100% dry before you get dressed. This product does not make me itchy. I am really upset that I bought three more bottles before I fully tested it out!
- Babe Lash Enhancing Conditioner: I really like their original serm for making your lashes long. This one should work in conjunction with it, to not exactly add length, but more so condition. I cannot say that I saw much happen. I would rather not repurchase this one and save my money to get the growth formula that has real results. I have more details in my Babe Original Lash and Brow Serum review.
Conclusion
In summary of my November 2023 empties review, three of these products are solid winners that you can trust! The deodorant is a hard pass, which is sad because I really wanted it to work. The other items were not bad, but also not something to phone home about. In terms of where to go from here, I have been switching around the masks that I am using to better suit my current needs. Other than that, I know that I am carrying many moisturizers and face washes into the new year. While I do not directly buy them anymore, they do pop up in boxes and sets that I review. Until next time, continue to let your true beauty shine.
Do you have any frustrating products that you cannot seem to use up?
