November has come to an end, and it’s time to share my monthly beauty and skincare product empties. From fabulous face and body treatments to nourishing oils and revitalizing serums, let’s delve into the November empties that have made a notable impact on my beauty routine.
1. Dr Dennis Gross Exfoliating Body Treatment
I finally tried the Dr Gross Alpha Beta Exfoliating Body Treatment and as advertised, it has been a game-changer, effortlessly reducing blemishes and bumps. This all-over body towel not only hydrates the skin but also diminishes imperfections. Packed with alpha and beta hydroxy acids, antioxidants, aloe, and squalene, it provides a one-step process for healthier-looking skin.
Here’s where to find it: SpaceNK UK and Selfridges UK and Cult Beauty UK and Revolve US and Bloomingdale’s US and Nordstrom US.
2. Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter
Josie Maran’s Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter was a gift from my Mom (thanks, Mom!). It is a true delight, restoring softness and improving skin texture. Enriched with 100% Pure Argan Oil, shea butter, and avocado oil, it hydrates deeply and protects from environmental damage. The fast-absorbing, non-sticky formula leaves the skin deeply nourished.

3. Medik8 C-Tetra Lipid Vitamin C Radiance Serum
I purchased the Medik8 C-Tetra Serum at the recommendation of my facialist to help with my hyperpigmentation and combat visible signs of aging. I’ve really enjoyed it and upgraded to a stronger formulation. However, if you are just getting started, this serum is lovely! It has a lightweight formula, enriched with stable Vitamin C and Vitamin E, minimizes fine lines and wrinkles while shielding the skin from pollution. It also layers beautifully with my skincare regime!

4. Darphin Rose Aromatic Care Face Oil
I am a huge fan of Darphin’s face oils, each one has a different benefit. Infused with a triple Rose Concentrate, the Darphin Rose Hydra-Nourishing Aromatic Care Face Oil is one to seek out if you’re looking for a hydra-nourishing formula. It is enriched with rose essential oil, absolute, and flower wax (sounds weird, but I’m going with it), and delivers healthy-looking, radiant skin. I use this on its own, and I’ll also dab it on my beauty blender or under my eyes to refresh my makeup after a long day.
Here’s where to find it: Darphin UK and Sephora UK and FeelUnique UK. They do not have this product in the US, so I will link to the Darphin 8-Flower Nectar oil at Nordstrom, which is also a favorite!
5. Dr. Dennis Gross Overnight Wrinkle Treatment
I have used the Dr Dennis Gross Advanced Retinol + Ferulic Overnight Wrinkle Treatment for years and really enjoyed it. Powered by a Phyto-Retinol Blend™, it promotes the skin’s natural renewal process, reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and restores hydration. Whenever I use it, I feel like I wake up to a smoother, renewed complexion.

6. Essie Penny Talk Nail Polish
Essie’s Penny Talk Nail Polish has been a staple of mine for years. I love metallic nail polishes and this hue of rose gold works well with my paler skin. I like that it’s a more neutral metallic, making it great for travel. Now, if only Essie would make it in a travel size mini!
Here’s where to find it: Amazon UK and Superdrug UK and Boots UK and Macy’s US and Amazon US
7. Clinique High Impact Mascara
I often get compliments on my eyelashes and I always let people in on the secret – a mix of good genetics and Clinique’s High Impact Mascara! This is a lengthening and volumizing mascara which thickens, separates, and defines lashes for a dramatic effect. In addition to the formulation, the brush is really good – it is specially designed for length and volume. I personally like to purchase the travel size one and find it lasts for ages!
Here’s where to find it: Boots UK and Amazon UK and Lookfantastic UK and Bloomingdales US and Nordstrom US and Sephora US
8. Ritual of Sakura Pearlescent Body Scrub
My friend Lisa gave this to me as part of a birthday gift set (thanks, Lisa!). However, I’m tempted to keep re-purchasing or further gifting the Ritual of Sakura Pearlescent Body Scrub. It’s a luxurious body scrub cream with a pearly texture and a lovely smell of rice milk and cherry blossom. Enriched with ultra-fine bamboo particles and a gel-cream base, it improves radiance and refines skin texture. I’ll also link the gift set below because it’s super lovely!
Here’s where to find it: Rituals UK and US and Boots UK and Amazon US

9. Tresemme Hairspray Extra Hold
TRESemmé’s Extra Hold styling Hairspray is a fantastic drugstore find! It’s been my go-to hair spray for years. It gives your hair a smooth, brushable finish and all-day style control. Whether opting for a straight, curly, or wavy look, this hairspray provides a long-lasting finish for a polished hairstyle.
Here’s where to find it: Superdrug UK and Amazon UK and Boots UK and Target US
10. CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser
I actually purchased this cleanser as a result of another influencer – Lydia Millen. In the summer months, I can sometimes get bumps on the back and shoulders and found that CeraVe’s SA Smoothing Cleanser helped a lot. It’s meant to refine your skin texture with a balanced blend of salicylic acid, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid. While it is suitable for face and body, I used it as a body wash before my favorite Dove Body Wash.
