TOP 20 BEAUTY EMPTIES I LOVED IN 2023

In 2023, I have used up 113 products and shortlisted the following 20 beauty empties I loved.

I am a fan of sharing beauty empties both on blog and on my instagram account - reviewgalore and also loved reading beauty empties' reviews by others.

Sharing empties provide reviews based on the entire experience with a product which includes not just the initial impressions but also how the product performed over time. Recommending empties demonstrates that the product has been used consistently and has formed a well-informed opinion about its efficacy.

Empties also tie into the sustainability movement. By using up products completely, we are reducing waste and making the most of the resources and packaging. This aligns with the idea of conscious consumption and minimizing environmental impact. Adding on, I like to keep track of my beauty empties as a way to monitor my skincare/beauty routines and to repurchase products which worked for me.
