Hey guys!! I hope you are doing well!! I have been using up a lot of products lately and specifically this empties seems to be full of very expensive products! I really tried to answer the question of whether I think these products are worth the money and man…. idk! The total of all these products could buy so much and that realization makes it harder to justify their prices individually!!! But then I am also glad that these pricy products were actually used up! Anyway… I hope you enjoy and thanks so much for watching!! 🙂

Not necessarily hand soaps, but I love the bar soaps from The Roan Cow! Her scent ‘Fresh Cows’ smells amazing!
I love the La Vanille vanilla deodorant. Its pricey but it smells great and works great
I hoard hand soaps and cpeaning supplies girl my stock getting too low 😩😥😂
When I try to figure out if somethings worth it I try to calculate how much it costs per day, month, whatever. And that usually helps me figure it out.
Lume for deodorant. Just go fragrance free because their scents are quite pungent
I absolutely love the Nubian Heritage Deodorants. I have tried bunches of natural deodorant and this is the only one that I have been able to use for any period of time without a reaction it it no longer working. You can buy it on Amazon it even eBay sometimes in Walmart. But I swear by it!!! The papaya coconut is my favorite but there are a lot of other scents.
The best natural deodorant I've tried so far is "No Pong" you have to apply it with your fingers but Its the only thing I can use without getting painful bumps.
You should keep and refill the Aesop bottle! 😂 make that $40 stretch as much as possible
Lauren, I’m sad you’re being poisoned by Bath and Bodyworks. Seriously. Please consider researching how harmful their ingredients are!
I love this idea! Congratulations Auntie Lauren! I've had a hand cream,soap, and lip care addiction for a long time, too, lol. My issue is I tend to love the luxury stuff, like L'occticane, Perlier, Sara Happ and Clarins. I try my best to only buy them during sales, and last year I got a lucky break and was able to nab 3 sets of Perlier Honey Shower/Hand Cream, Body Butter (which I use as a hand cream) and solid soap (a $150.00 value) for $15.00 a set.
I've also fallen in love with stuff I can't afford but received via Boxycharm (ie. Kate Sommerville Bio Mimicking Peptides serum, Dr. Brandt retinol eye cream and QMS Lip Serum and eye cream). I was able to stock up a bit during their sales (all items have a value of $100 to $200 and they were selling them for $12.00, but that just makes it harder to quit when the time comes.
I actually stopped buying hand soaps ages ago and use my body wash in my ceramic, refillable containers. I also tried refilling a foam hand soap I bought on a whim, and the body wash worked, but I had to add water to thin it out. 😁
You should try the love beauty and planet hand creams! They’re sold at target. I also love the body shop hand creams especially the hemp one!! Also the Neutrogena Norwegian hand cream!❤️❤️
method at target has refillable pouches that use those foaming bottles from bbw
You should check out Jen loves reviews video on hand cream! It’s goes into the Science it’s super interesting!
If you're looking for a plastic-free lower waste alternative to B&BW scented foaming hand soaps, check out Blueland! I used to love B&BW soaps and then I started going zero waste in 2017. This past Christmas I got a refillable foaming hand soap pump from Blueland and it's amazing! You get individual solid tablets that you dissolve in water inside the pump (which is made of glass and designed to be used over and over again forever) and the tablets come in compostable packets. Each tablet is only $2 so it's super cheap.
Hahaha I love that Kypris serum so much! It's the first thing that has immediately visibly calmed the redness on my sensitive af skin. I've been combing Poshmark for it and I know that luck will run out soon so I'll have to buy it retail 🙁
At Credo Beauty, they accept empties (like your bath and body soaps) and you can get 10 points for items that can be redeemed for 200 and 500 point rewards
Make your own foaming hand soap so much cheaper :0) xx
The Lavanilla Sport Luxe deodorant is my favorite natural deodorant and it works so well! I've found that so many of them irritate me because of the baking soda, but this one has it in the perfect concentration where it works but doesn't give me a rash. Worth the $14, I've repurchased 3 times.
Hi! For the deodorant suggestion, I use the Tom's of Maine one. I get it from Walmart and it works great for me.
"I feel like I'm talkative and going on and on…but isn't that, like, the point of the video?" STORY OF MY LIFE
I really like the Peace Out Acne Dots. They work really well at reducing size and tenderness, at least in my experience
Just wanted to let you know the ingredient in nioxin that helps with hair growth is monoxodil which DOES. Help hair growth but only in combination with the complete system. It’s a system that unfortunately, once you stop using it all the hair growth you’ve had will fall out. So if you use it for ten years and stop, all that growth will fall out. Just wanted to let you know so that you can spend money on shampoo you love rather than one you “think” might be working but isn’t really doing anything. 🥰
Congratulations on your nephew! It is definitely bittersweet figuring out how to celebrate new life during this time. My dear friend had her rainbow baby after 3 years of infertility and a miscarriage. He's a miracle and I'm a little broken hearted that I can't see him in person and hold him but I know the day we meet face to face will be so precious to me.
oh no don't say that i've been using my koparo and bought 2 back ups when it was on sale ! face Palm
i was gonna make a big long post but i just really wish influencers would spend the minute or so of their videos where they talk about quarantine instead talking and giving back to the essential workers that had no choice to stay home 😩
I feel like if there are things I use daily or multiple times a day, I am willing to spend a bit more to REALLY enjoy it. I love the book-themed candles, they’re like $18 and worth every penny. Lol but a budget will force you to be a lot more selective for sure!
I miss the old Crabtree & Evelyn! Their lavender scent was my favorite ever. I was devastated when they discontinued everything good.
the new drunk elephant deodorant is super good in my humble opinion!
Congratulations to your family on the new baby. So much hope and joy during these challenging days.
Thank you for doing these empty videos. It’s nice to see what are true favorites.
Also…. Jen Luvs Reviews did a natural deodorant review video a couple months ago. I think Native was her favorite.
lol at the Kypris oil – I just got it in the Boxy pop up for $5 so let's hope it's worth that much!
Love you and your videos!!!
Fave deodorant is Own Beauty in green tea and cucumber from whole foods. Also the tea tree bar from Lush is awesome! Great video Lauren.
New to your channel and ABSOLUTELY loving it – just put in a Cliondah order bc of your awesome swatch video
Buy the Ulta Brand hand soaps… They are often buy 2 get 1 and comparable to bath and body.
First Aid Beauty AHA/BHA product is comparable to the honeymoon glow, read the reviews. XoXo
congrats on the new addition to the family❤️
Great video! I LOVE empties videos and totally trust your opinion!!
I live in Canada and batiste is sold at the dollar store too so I pay $2 for it every time
A good trick to keep your candles lasting longer is to store them in the freezer, and just take them out when you want to light them! Works a treat!
Also the resurrection hand soap from aesop smells amazing (like marmalade). Idk if I would repurchase, but I definitely kept the bottle and just refill it with other soaps.
Can you try the Gelo hand soap pods? They sound so interesting but i haven’t seen anyone I trust review them, they’re little pods you put into water instead of buying a whole new bottle every time
