Name a better time for a clear out than January. So, it feels very fitting to share the empty beauty products that our team have rated so highly that we've ran them completely dry this month.

As a beauty team, it's quite literally in our job descriptions to trial a plethora of formulas at any given time, whether that be the best new beauty launches or buys that have earned cult status. So, it's quite the achievement when we find a buy that leaves us with such a good impression that it weaves its way into our daily routines.

In fact, it's even more telling when we use a formula down to the very last drop. Speaking of which, some of the best shampoos for fine hair, best face moisturisers and best lightweight foundations have found themselves in our team's clear out pile – but for very good reason. Introducing, the 11 products we've used up throughout the first month of the year.

The product empties our beauty team have used every last drop of in January

Whether you hear a product recommendation from your friend or while scrolling on social media, it's always nice to hear a first-person review of a beauty product before you decide whether to add it to your basket – and, as a beauty team, that's exactly what we're here to do. It's our duty to share the formulas that have impressed us so much that we've squeezed, spritzed and scooped every last drop out of them...
