Beauty Empties: Harper’s Bazaar Arabia Editors Share Why These Products Are Good To The Last Drop

When you squeeze, scrape or twist to get one more dollop, spritz or pump, you know a product is worth its weight in gold. Here are just a few beloved empties culled from the bathrooms of the editors of Harper’s Bazaar Arabia

MAKE-UP

Olivia Phillips, Group Editor in Chief

“I can’t overstate the importance of Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Flawless Filter in my make-up bag. A miracle glow-giver that’s a cross between nine hours’ sleep, Botox and a hydrafacial. Glossier’s Balm Dotcom is another essential; perfectly natural and smells delicious.”

FRAGRANCE

Jessica Michault, Group Deputy Editor

“I’ve had an olfactory awakening since moving to Dubai. This former one-scent woman now buys Louis Vuitton’s City Of Stars, and Loewe’s Aura Pink Magnolia – its floral-vanilla aroma reminds me of home. I also adore Prada’s Paradoxe’s complexity, and Ex Nihilo’s Gold Immortals’ pear-bergamot combo.”

HANDS & NAILS

Natasha Faruque, Group Managing Editor

“I used to bite my nails as a child, so having perfectly manicured hands feels like such an accomplishment! I seem to collect an array of creams and balms, and bottles of Chanel nailpolish – a little luxury on your fingertips.”

SKINCARE

Laura Jane Brown, Fashion Editor

“I just discovered pHformula, and haven’t looked back; it’s a game changer for sensitive skin. The SOS rescue cream removes redness and irritation overnight. Other favourites I have on rotation are the C.R. recovery cream, and SOS lip rescue.”

HAIR CARE

Anahita Ghai, Social Media Editor

“Have thick hair? This shampoo-conditioner duo needs to be your new best friend. Designed for dehydrated locks and ideal for a hot and humid climate, there’s a reason I have been loyal to Davines’ Momo haircare range. It’s refreshing, melon-like scent is a bonus too.”
