Awesome haul!! @SportyGirly125 cute containers!!

Happy birthday month!! @samkeaysxo 🥳🎉🧁🎈

My September empties. MTD = 87Last month, I hauled some wonderful beauties from Fenty Beauty, a collection I've been fond of since its launch, and a couple from the new Selena Gomez line. Both women are amazing and I was inspired to use some of their songs for my empties categories! ❤️ You Da One (Rihanna): These were products that I had never used before this year, but are now new loves.SpoilerThe Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque has been such a workhorse for me over the last couple of months. Maskne and an allergic reaction to a product sent parts of my face into a tailspin. I seriously haven't seen such a breakout in a long time. I usually experience a few pimples here and there periodically but a "few" would be a huge understatement. I ended up using this mask as a spot treatment (with there being a ton of spots on my face) about 4-5 times per week and it helped enormously. This will definitely be repurchased. I like the hydration and brightening and plumping effects my skin gets from the lightweight, creamy milky essence in the Troxederm Repair Mask Pack. I'd never heard of this brand before pickup up this mask and I'm interested in checking out the other skincare products from this particular range.I like the fresh, clean, citrusy scent of everyone Foaming Hand Soap (Meyer lemon + Mandarin); extra points that it's a local brand to me. Honey has always been one of my well-loved skincare ingredient and especially so this month for its nourishing, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. I used By Wishtrend Polyphenols in Propolis 15% Ampoule day and night for most of the month to help heal a bad breakout / reaction. The slightly viscous consistently goes on easily and is not goopy, gooey or greasy.My preference is typically for Korean or Japanese sunblocks, but there are a few favorites that fall outside of that catgory, including Biossance Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen. It has a nice, lightweight consistency to it and I like that it's a physical sunblock and contains zinc (good for breakouts). I find it works best for me on days when my skin is less oily/combo, so when it's been cooler out.Even lighter in consistency than the Wishtrend ampoule is the Guerlain Abeille Royale Face Treatment Oil. I really have a special fondness for this oil; it's so luxe. The price keeps it from being a love ... at least for now. 😉 Pyunkang Yul Moisture Ampoule is also a very nice ampoule. I'm a fan of Pyunkang Yul and I'd be interested in using for an extended time to see how my skin responds.Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant can wear several different hats in my skincare routine - as a toner or spot treatment for larger areas where I can develop a lot of clogged pores often. Sephora Collection Clean Lychee Face Mask is my favorite of the full sheet masks from the new clean line. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized with a dewy glow.

Same Old Love (Selena): These are tried-and-true products; old loves.SpoilerQ-tips Cotton Swabs Precision Tips are great for so many things, including cleaning up eye makeup and nail polish that strays outside of the lines. 😉 Bath & Body Works Vampire Blood Gentle Foaming Hand Soap (should be included in the New Loves group) smells wonderful! I feel like I go through these B&BW soaps so quickly. This one smells wonderful! They make a candle of this scent and I may need to pick that up when I pick up another of these Vampire Blood hand soaps. Thank you to @ohheyitscindyk for gifting me this one. 🤗 Peace Out Acne Dots (x2) - I went through 2 packs of these within the first 5 days of the month. Big sigh. These did the trick with sucking out the ick from the breakouts around my mouth resulting from a couple of products really not agreeing with my skin. Now to deal with the hyperpigmentation left behind. Tory Burch Tory Burch Eau de Parfum - since discovering how much I love this scent last month, I've gone through my bag of perfume samples to see how many more of these vials I have. Fortunately, I found a couple. Pyunkang Yul Mist Toner - great mist and even better as an essence or doing a 7-skin method. Biore Nose Strip - Deep Cleansing Charcoal Pore Strip is one of the "flavors" in the Biore line that works well for clearing out the gunk. everyone Natural Hand Sanitizer Spray (Coconut + Lemon) was how I discovered this brand. There's also a gel version of the hand sanitizer. As with most hand sanitizers, these were readily available pre-covid. Stores have since restocked this and I've picked up another set of 6 and keep a bottle in a few places - in the car, my purse, etc. Sunday Riley Saturn Sulfur Acne Treatment Mask worked overtime this month, along with The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque. I have one more, maybe two more, travel sizes of this mask. SR has since repackaged (and possibly reformulated?) the mask as a spot treatment which is generally how I use it.

Good For You (Selena): LikesSpoilerLots of "likes" among my September empties, many of which I can see myself repurchasing at some point, if I haven't already. Voluspa Lychee Panjore was a gift from @ather - thank you! The subtle scent is great for some quiet me time with a good book. The sample pack of the Tom Ford lippies had a generous amount of product and as you can tell, I liked all the colors, too!Lots of "likes" among my September empties, many of which I can see myself repurchasing at some point, if I haven't already.

My computer is moving soooooo slowly and freezing up, so I'm just going to post pics of the rest of my September empties. If there's a question about any of these, ask away. SpoilerComplicated (Rihanna): These are maybe's.It Ain't Me (Selena): No negative reactions or breakouts but these just aren't for me. The bakuchiol pads started out but began drying up quickly. I rarely use eye cream but have a seemingly endless supply of them in varying sizes, mostly DS and foils. With a few exceptions, I'll repurpose most of the eye creams I have as hand cream - it works out pretty well. 😊Nopes:Farewell (Rihanna) to the items on the left. SOS (Rihanna) is perfectly fitting for the ones on the right, as they caused me to breakout. I don't usually use cleansing wipes for my face but used them last month to remove wash off masks I used to spot treat larger areas. Sadly I didn't realize until I was near the end of the pack that these were keeping my breakouts from clearing up. Ugh. So much better since I just used these for something other than cleaning my face.Complicated (Rihanna): These are maybe's.It Ain't Me (Selena): No negative reactions or breakouts but these just aren't for me.

@idanyd Gorgeous. I love the deep fall colors in this palette
