@eshoe thanks!! 😉

I love this Honey Butter lip balm from Farmacy. I figure there were about 200 uses in this item. It’s buttery, no weird taste, very Moisturizing. Got my formerly chapped lips through the end of the winter with comfy relief. Does not smell like honey or butter. Does smell organic like fresh produce, maybe in the citrus family. Very lightly scented. Definitely will re-purchase.

ooooo this sounds great @christyrc

@christyrc, I’ve been trying not to start a new tube of lip balm until I get through what I have open but I may have to rethink that with this Farmacy lip balm... 🤔

That sounds good @christyrc 👍

[RebeccaBT]

@christyrc WOW! You got so many uses out of that! I will have to give it a try 🙂

Best,
Rebecca

I totally agree with you! I love this lip balm! 

Best Wishes,

end of May

I wasn't that impressed with the last Oozoo Bear mask that I tried, but I quite liked this one - it smelled nice too. Would recommend all of the masks I've used recently 🙂

I’m three quarters done my Tatcha essence.  Love it 🥰

Lovin’ the skincare empties @sockmagnet! 💗 I liked that SNP dragon mask too; it’s fun! Is the Tatcha essence one you would repurchase? 

[sockmagnet]

@itsfi yes I think I would, but only during a 20% off sale - it does last about 6-7 months of twice daily application though. I have other products to use up before I make a final decision. Currently I am using up a small size SK-II essence that I got in a set, but I don't like the way it smells, so I definitely prefer the Tatcha one to that.

Great empties! @sockmagnet

More May empties from the past couple of weeks:

A few loves at top, including the Nars Pro Shadow Base, YTTP cream and UD liner in Stark Naked, all are standing favorites. The eye gels are pretty and decent but there are plenty others that work just as well. The Coola Mineral Face Matte Tint Sunscreen was an immediate purchase, will be great for summertime. This was the first time I had tried the Benefit Porefessional; I have destashed so many samples but finally decided to give it a try. It's almost exactly like the Coola but without sunscreen. I bought a tube for nighttime wear when I don't need SPF.

Love the Commodity Book, but Velvet is my favorite. Rationing my remaining samples! The bliss Triple Oxygenating Facial is nice and I would buy again, just trying to get through some other products. Will likely buy the belif Bubbling Pore Cleaner as that's what I was trying to dupe; this is pretty close but without the exfoliation.

All of the masks were great. That Jayjun was a fantastic 3-step mask, and those are hard to come by so I will like;y keep it in mind for repurchases/traveling masks. The Pretti Bright Shine mask surprised me because I did not care for the other one from this line I tried. This one has a scent similar to the YTTP cream ❤️

awesome! @eshoe ahhhh ahhhhhh the citrus lovely!!

@eshoe I'm not dedicated enough to save my masks but I do plan to post the number I've used from my spreadsheet at the end. You've got so many empties!

[eshoe]

I’m the total opposite @ShortErica. It’s much easier for me to snap a pic. I counted totals last month since I set a goal for myself, but haven’t so far this month. 

[ShortErica]

My mask packages tend to get destroyed when I cut them wide open for the extra serum. Maybe that makes a difference for why I don't want to take used mask pictures @eshoe 🤷‍♀️

[eshoe]

They do get a little slimy, huh @ShortErica 😆

I am so impressed with people who finish a pile of products in a month. This month I have finished 3 items. Olaplex is a regular once-a-week use for me, and I love the effect it has on my hair. Briogeo was a trial and buy in the sale in May- it was lovely on my hair to make it feel soft.  I love using the Clarins for my daytime undereye routine, and makeup glides smoothly overtop.Goodies

I love all 3.

@l8totheparty I never used to think I finished all that much until I started keeping a bag under my bathroom sink and got into the habit of keeping everything.  I went on a low buy trying to use up samples etc and was amazed at how much I started using when I was going through samples and deluxes.  Some months are always bigger than others though, and quality over quantity means you know what you like!
