Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

Used to the Last Drop

  There are products I like. There are products I love. And then there are the products I use until there is practically nothing left to photograph. These are those products. I realized recently that some of the best reviews I could give you aren’t reviews at all. They’re empty bottles. Scraped jars. Crushed sachets. Packaging that has been handled so often that it no longer looks particularly photogenic. Because I can tell you that I like a product. But when I’ve used every last bit of it? That’s evidence. Dior Le Baume I received this little sachet of Dior Le Baume and apparently decided that not one molecule was going to escape me. I squeezed it. Folded it. Pressed it. Then probably squeezed it again just in case the laws of physics had changed since the last attempt. There wasn’t much product to begin with, but my hands only needed a small amount so this lasted a few days.  I also enjoyed what was there enough to make sure I got all of it. And really, isn’t that the point ...
