Beauty Product Empties Part 5: Mini Reviews & Would I Repurchase?

A little piece of wonderful news to share today! I’m truly happy and grateful to share that Natural Beauty And Makeup has once again been selected by the Feedspot panel as one of the Top 70 Indian Beauty Blogs on the Web for 2026. Yay! Well, now let’s move on to the real blog post topic. Today, I am sharing part five of my beauty product empties. To know which products I liked or would repurchase, keep reading! 

Beauty Product Empties Part 5: Mini Reviews & Would I Repurchase?


Beauty Product Empties Part 5 -Mini Reviews 


I published Part 4 of Product Empties in 2023 and, honestly, have no idea how this topic completely slipped my mind. Naturally, I didn’t publish any product empties posts over the past few years! Anyway, let’s do it now. Better late than never, haha 😬. 


Since my website is all about natural beauty and sustainable living, I’ll only share the vegan and natural products that I’ve finished over the past few months. As I previously mentioned, I forgot about writing this post and had already discarded several products while decluttering my bathroom cabinet, without taking photos of them. So, this will be a quick read, not a lengthy one! 



Pure Elements YAMAN Radiance Advance Night Cream: 


This cream glides on beautifully and leaves skin feeling incredibly soft, bouncy, and deeply moisturised by morning. A little goes a long way! While it performed brilliantly as a rich moisture barrier, I didn't notice any visible reduction in tanning or uneven skin tone during my testing period. 


Overall, a rich, comforting natural night cream that’s an absolute saviour for dry, cooler-weather skin, though it didn't quite deliver on its skin-lightening claims. Read the full review, here.

Will I Repurchase?


Yes! (As a heavy-duty cold-weather moisturiser rather than a brightening treatment.) 



Simple Kind To Skin Moisturising Facial Wash (Revamped Formula): 


Despite mixed reviews online about the formula refresh, this cleanser worked wonderfully for my sensitive, combination-dry skin for over a year! It left my face feeling clean, soft, and comfortable, with zero tightness or breakouts. However, it functions strictly as a daily skin cleanser, not as a single-step makeup remover. 


Overall, a gentle, budget-friendly, 100% soap-free, vegan, gel-cream everyday cleanser that effectively removes dirt and oil without stripping combination-to-dry skin, though it doesn't quite live up to its makeup-removing claims. Read the full review on my other blog, ‘Everything Enchanting’.

Will I Repurchase?


Not right now, purely because I want to try other cleansers from the Simple range next, but it remains a solid budget staple!

Lotus Botanicals Natural Green Tea HydraDetox Refreshing Face Mist: 


This facial mist was a lifesaver for delivering quick hydration during warm days or post-cleansing! The fine mist spray distributes evenly over the face, absorbing quickly without leaving any sticky residue. It helps calm the skin, preps it nicely for serums or moisturisers, and gives an instant, healthy-looking revival whenever your skin feels fatigued.  


Overall, a crisp, revitalising natural facial mist infused with antioxidant-rich green tea extracts that delivers an instant surge of hydration, soothes tired skin, and works wonderfully as a midday pick-me-up or toner step.  Read the full review, here.

Will I Repurchase? 


Yes! A fabulous, fuss-free green tea mist to keep on my desk for midday skin pick-me-ups.



Sweet Bee Organics Sweet Sleep Magnesium Butter (Lavender Massage Cream): 


Applying this cream to my feet, legs, or shoulders before bed became an indispensable bedtime ritual for me. It leaves skin intensely hydrated and soft till morning while easing physical restlessness and helping the mind unwind after a long day. A tiny amount goes a long way! 


Overall, a luxurious, deeply soothing nighttime ritual in a jar that melts away tension, softens dry skin, and promotes a calm, restful night’s sleep. Read the full review, here.

Will I Repurchase?


No. They recently launched another Magnesium Butter product, and I am eyeing it!

Burt's Bees Vanilla Bean Moisturising Lip Balm: 


This has been my go-to lip product for years! It glides on effortlessly, instantly soothes dry or flaky lips, and works brilliantly both on its own and as a hydrating base under lipsticks. It keeps lips soft, smooth, and nourished for hours without needing constant reapplication.


Overall, an absolute Holy Grail natural lip balm that delivers long-lasting moisture, a delicious warm vanilla flavour, and reliable protection for dry, chapped lips 😍.  Read the full review, here.

As you can see in the picture, I keep buying this balm. This tube is actually my 5th one! 


Will I Repurchase?


100% YES! (Already on my next tube!) 



Hemp4help Natural Herbal Fusion Conditioner: 


I recently finished the Hemp4help Natural Cosmetics Herbal Fusion Conditioner with Hemp and Curcuma (Turmeric) Extract, designed to repair, strengthen, and moisturise frizzy, dry, or colour-treated hair. 


A great option if you are looking for a clean, botanical-rich conditioner that effectively restores softness to dry ends without weighing hair down. It's perfect for those prioritising eco-friendly and colour-safe haircare! Read the full review, here.

Will I Repurchase?


No. I am on my hair growth journey and have been testing a number of haircare products, from both natural and commercial options. I might give it another try if other products do not give me the same results!



So, these are a few natural, organic, and vegan products that I emptied this year. Since I keep rotating beauty products, they don’t get emptied quickly! I do feel bored at times, but I have learned to listen to my skin and hair needs and use products accordingly. Now, I don’t rush to finish a product anymore, provided it is within its expiry date 😛! 


Lastly, a heartfelt thank you to Feedspot for including 'Natural Beauty And Makeup' in this year's list and for recognising the work that goes into creating useful and authentic beauty content.


And, of course, a huge thank you to everyone who reads my blog, visits my little corner of the internet, leaves a comment, shares a post or simply comes back to read again. Your support means more than you probably realise ❤️.


Every visit, every kind comment and every bit of encouragement has been a small part of this journey.


Here’s to continuing the journey, discovering more wonderful beauty finds, learning along the way and sharing them with you.


Feeling grateful today and very happy to see my first baby, my blog 'Natural Beauty And Makeup' recognised once again 😍.


Thank you, Feedspot, and thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey.

  11. I always enjoy empties posts because they show what products were actually used rather than simply recommended.
    The mini reviews make it easier to understand which products genuinely stood out.

  12. You can't beat Burts Bees! I feel like it's such a simple thing, but it really works! And I can totally tell when I've not used it. I wasn't so keen on the simple cleanser, great that it's so affordable, but I found it quite drying personally. I need all the moisture I can get haha.

  14. Congratulations on your Feedspot recognition! I love reading empties reviews because finishing a product says so much more than a first impression. Your honest thoughts on what you would repurchase are really helpful, and that green tea face mist sounds lovely. Five tubes of the vanilla lip balm definitely says it’s a keeper!

  15. Burt’s Bees Lip Balm has been one of my go-tos for years! I always keep one at home and another in my bag because it works so well for my dry lips. I also love that they have gift sets, so I usually end up getting a few to give as holiday gifts too.
