Hello everyone and welcome to the last beauty finishes post of 2025! It is officially 2026, baby, and I am so ready for another year of lifestyle fun with all of you. I am also eagerly anticipating the great skin care haul of 2026 with my Christmas gifted TJMaxx gift cards. Before we go into the new, it’s out with the old so let’s take a look at these empties and discuss further:

Would I Use Again?

Bath & Body Works Evil Queen Body Cream: MAYBE

Precision Beauty Fountain Of Youth Retinol Serum: YES

Emilianna Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer: MAYBE

Why/Why Not?

B&BW Body Cream: I purchased the Evil Queen body cream when it was offered at Semi-Annual Sale prices after Halloween. It wasn’t my favorite scent but that doesn’t matter too much to me as I only wear lotion to bed. Evil Queen smelled faintly like apple but it was primarily musky which I am so not a fan of. It grew on me after a few uses but I wouldn’t buy it again unless it was dirt cheap. It took me about two weeks of daily use to finish the bottle.

Precision Beauty Serum: I have been fairly loyal to the Precision Beauty brand for serums and I am not mad about it! They are long lasting and the effects are awesome. It took me a month and a half to finish this bottle with twice daily use. These serums are thicker in texture but absorb quickly and a little of it goes a long way for full face and neck coverage. In the time of using it, I noticed an instant glow up with every application. The Precision Beauty serums are so nourishing and I highly recommend them!

Emilianna Moisturizer: This moisturizer was pretty good but it wasn’t the best one I have used in the world and I probably wouldn’t purchase it again unless it was the only option available. The light, clean scent was nice and it almost felt like a cold cream when applied which was refreshing. However, in the over one month of using it I failed to see anything special about it. Definite last resort option, for sure.

With that, 2025 on lifewithlilred is complete. Stay tuned for a massive skin care haul coming soon!

Which products did you use up this month? What are your thoughts on any of the above products if you have used them before? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
