![Do you have any decor-related holiday traditions? 🎄
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A Christmas village has been part of my annual decorations for as long as I can recall! My mom put them on top of my piano when I was a little girl, and when I got older and moved out, I received some pieces of my own (with a few from my childhood mixed in). 🤎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I chose to renovate my living room this year, I knew I’d need to find the perfect new space to display my village, come Christmas-time. This gorgeous @sauderusa cubby shelf felt like it was *made* to show off all my favorite pieces! 😍 It has been so much fun to find new ways to #SauderStyle these shelves over the last few months! 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Each evening, I turn the lights on and feel a little bit of Christmas spirit come to life inside my heart. ✨ Which pieces would you want in your holiday village? 🏘️

I completely emptied twelve beauty products during this spring season!
Some of these products are tried-and-true, and I’ve already repurchased them many times. Some of them are brand new, and I’m going to share whether or not they’re worth buying again, and if I’ve done so yet or not!
I love watching “empties” videos on YouTube or reading about which products other bloggers have finished and decided to love or leave in the process. It helps me determine which items are worth investing in for myself. Hopefully, this will do the same for you!
12 Must-Have Makeup and Skincare Products for Summer 2020
Keep reading to learn which empties I’ve repurchased or plan to buy again in the future!
Raw Sugar Raw Coconut + Mango Body Wash
This body wash is moisturizing, without leaving residue on my skin. It’s also clean, vegan, and cruelty-free!
Would I repurchase? Yes!
Batiste Hint of Color Divine Dark Dry Shampoo
I’ve been using this dry shampoo religiously for several years now. Definitely nothing new to me, and I still love it just as much.
Would I repurchase? Yes – and I have!
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gentle Exfoliating Facial Cleanser
I’ve been using this every other day for a year or so, and because the exfoliating beads are so gentle, it isn’t overly harsh on my skin.
Would I repurchase? Yes – and I have!
Urban Decay Stay Naked The Fix Powder Foundation
Initially, I didn’t care for this product, but I came to love it as I tested it over other foundations and concealers. It adds coverage and doesn’t get cakey!
Would I repurchase? Yes!
Catrice Prime And Fine Dewy Glow Finish Spray – Illuminating
This is my favorite setting spray of all time and I buy it in bulk every few months. It adds a natural glow, sets everything in place, and it smells good! Plus, it’s super affordable.
Would I repurchase? Yes – and I have!
Glee Summer Lily Shave Mousse
This was originally gifted to me for Instagram, then I had the opportunity to partner with the brand on a campaign, and now I regularly purchase the product because I love it so much! It lasts forever, keeps my legs smooth, and smells fabulous.
Would I repurchase? Yes – and I have!
Joico Color Intensity Semi-Permanent Hair Color – Red
I purchased this last year, when I first got my red balayage done. My stylist told me to add a bit of red dye to my conditioner every once in a while to keep the color bright. I finally finished my first tube during quarantine!
Would I repurchase? Yes – and I have!
Neutrogena Moisturesmooth Color Stick – Sweet Watermelon
I basically never wear lipstick or lipgloss, because I have to have tons of moisture. Well, I finally found an alternative with these Moisturesmooth Color Sticks. They’re basically like colored lip balm, and they don’t get sticky or cakey.
Would I repurchase? Yes!
Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Airbrushing Pressed Powder
I purchased this when my favorite translucent powder was discontinued. This one says it’s translucent but it’s definitely not, especially if you’re fair-skinned. I wish they’d bring back the other formula.
Would you repurchase? No.
L’Oréal Infallible Full Wear Waterproof Concealer – Eggshell
This concealer is a nearly identical dupe for Tarte Shape Tape, and I may actually love it more. I find it doesn’t crease as much, and easily applies beneath or on top of foundation/BB cream/etc.
Would you repurchase? Yes – and I have.
Hello Activated Charcoal Whitening Toothpaste
I began by purchasing the sensitivity relief version of this item, but then they stopped carrying it in-store. I switched to this one, and love it! Beware: it’s black, so it makes your teeth look spooky, and stains clothing easily.
Would I repurchase? Yes – and I have!
Pantene Rose Water Shampoo and Conditioner
I bought this on a whim when one of my favorite influencers posted about it, and I really like it! I think if I had the money to afford my salon’s products, I’d get those instead, but this is good for the interim.
Would I repurchase? Yes – out of necessity.

I love the dark dry shampoo! It’s something I use all the time!
we use so many of the same products! I have 4 of the things on your list!! love em!
I need to try the Neutrogena Moisturestick. Sounds perfect. I love the Hask dry shampoo, that’s one I repurchase over and over again. It works well even though I have dark hair.
It’s great to know that you want to replace those products, I think that taking the time to try out and and wait for results is so important when knowing whether or not to recommend a product. Thank you for sharing these!
i’ve heard so many good things about Neutrogena. gotta try them out again!

Well, I now have about 5 tabs open of products I’m interested in purchasing, haha! Especially the body wash and exfoliating cleanser. I also really love that the items you use/share are affordable too! Sometimes I see things and I’m interested in trying them but the price point is so high it’s hard to justify when I’m not even sure it will be right for me.
I have seen ads for that rose water Pantene, and I am intrigued for sure. Also coconut mango body wash sounds incredible, especially for summer, plus I’m in the market for something new that’s cruelty free. I’ll have to check that one out.
I’ve been using the Hydro Boost lotion for a few years now and love it!
Ooh! I need to try that moisturizing color stick from Neutrogena. The color is so pretty! I’ve used the Hello brand toothpaste before and I really liked it, which surprised me. It didn’t taste chalky like I had expected!
That body wash sounds divine. I am definitely going to check it out.

Love those Neutrogena color sticks…so good! xoxo, Sarah
The HydroBoost line is AWESOME I love their masks. I have been eyeing the color stick, but have been back and forth on actually trying it haha.
I’ve seen so many rave reviews on the raw body wash, I need to try it! I’ll have to check out that charcoal toothpaste, the one I’m using isn’t that great.
Love buying and trying new beauty products, almost to a fault, though there is something that really feels good about loving a product so much you definitely want to repurchase it. Thanks for sharing your pick. xo Jaimie
This is such a great post idea actually because I am always in love with a lot of beauty products, and I want to repurchase so much!
Love this honest review! I actually repurchased several times the raw sugar shower gel and baptiste dry shampoos! Very good products
I’m always on the hunt for a good concealer and will definitely be checking out the L’Oreal one!

I’m obsessed with that body wash as well…it smells amazing! I also really love the UD powder, it’s so good!
Oooh, I’m super curious about that Urban Decay powder! I find a lot of UD foundations seem to have too much of a yellow undertone for me, did you notice that about the powder?
Raw Sugar Living has been my favorite body care brand for some time now! They also recently launched hand sanitizer! I just started used the Hello Charcoal toothpaste too and i have to get used to the taste lol!
