I’m a Beauty Editor Who Hates Mediocrity—7 Products So Good, I've Emptied Them All
Welcome to The Empties Edit, where Shannon Lawlor runs through her beauty-director empties. This month: a Ouai hair treatment, an Aesop body cream and more.
I understand that it might sound obnoxious of me to say that I have no time for mediocre beauty products, but it's the hard truth. After over 12 years of working as a beauty journalist, it's safe to say my standards have become sky-high. With hundreds, if not thousands, of new beauty products landing on my desk every year, actually finishing one has become my highest form of praise.
And over the past month, there were a whopping seven products that met my high standards so expertly that I finished every last drop. Over the transitional weeks between summer and autumn, my beauty routine has been a little chaotic. I've finished bath soaks that warm my bones on cold autumnal evenings, deodorants that tackle the warm daytime sun and body creams to treat my post-summer limbs—all in the same four weeks. And whilst they might not all be the most glamorous products, I can promise you one thing: they're worth every penny of their price tag.
