Seeing product empties is so satisfying 🙂

I know what you mean @ather and it feels soo good to be in control of it after that happens 😇 Way to go! 🥳

Another month, another set of Empties:

I really enjoyed the mini Farmacy balm in the pear scent! It was a little on the light side fragrance-wise but very pleasant. The Refresh spray is a must-have (and I'll need to grab a backup soon) but the other things won't be repurchases.

I liked the mini BumBum cream (of course!) and the hand sanitizer smelled wonderful but everything else was just "meh".

I actually really liked how the Keratin Complex products made my hair feel BUT I couldn't get past the scent; those had to have been some of the worst-smelling shampoos and conditioners I've ever tried.

I finished my Makeup by Marion Skin Enhancer! I genuinely loved this and I could totally see myself repurchasing it down the road. The Arches and Halos brow pen is an absolute fav. Unfortunately the NYX lip liner and LA Girl eyeliner are declutters; they both dried up unbelievably quickly and are currently totally unusable.

Making a note of the Pink Peach Blossom hand sanitizer. It just sounds like it would smell amazing @CookieGirl1.

@itsfi I liked it but I love a good peach scent!

Love your photos! Fabulous job @CookieGirl1 

[CookieGirl1]

@lmaster thank you!

@CookieGirl1 Wow so many great empties! 

[Samtian]

@CookieGirl1 Fabulous job on those empties!! 

[CynthieLu]

These are lovely photos of your empties @CookieGirl1 I appreciate your thoughts on everything 🙏 

Yummy! I would love to try the pear scented make up removing balm 🍐 Farmacy makes the best make up remover. It's so good and gentle 😍 

[CookieGirl1]

@CynthieLu I love the Farmacy balms!  I think that the only scents that I haven't liked as much were the apple and cherry and those weren't bad--just not my favs.  The pear scent was more subtle but still lovely and I have an orange one, a blueberry one, and a peach one in my backup stash 😄.

[CynthieLu]

That's a great collection @CookieGirl1 I want them all lol,  next year I'm jumping on a holiday set for sure 😉

I had one from a gwp and it was citrus-y but I actually don't know exactly what scent it was 😅

[CookieGirl1]

@CynthieLu the sets are definitely a great way to go!

[JoSometimes]

Great job emptying all of these @CookieGirl1! The jar of Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm looks different though. 

[CookieGirl1]

@JoSometimes lol, you're right, it does look different.  It was actually part of a limited edition holiday trio so all three from that set were smaller and had different fruity scents.

[JoSometimes]

That explains it. They discontinued the Clean Green balm in Canada and I thought it was the one they replaced it with.

@CookieGirl1  Great job!

@ather thank you!

Some more empties and a few destashes.

Dr. Jart+ Cicapair™ Tiger Grass Serum

I know this one was supposed to help with redness and irritation, but some days, it seemed to be the cause of it. This was a sample, but I probably won’t purchase a full size anytime soon.

SEPHORA COLLECTION Overnight Hydrating Mask 1.69 oz / 50 mL

I did like this one. It left my skin feeling very hydrated overnight and I could even feel it deep into the morning if I was having a lazy day and didn’t get to my morning routine right away. I have something else I like now, so this one is on my maybe list.

Benefit Cosmetics BADgal BANG! Volumizing Mascara Intense Pitch Black – 0.30 oz/ 8.5 g

Not sure if I’m tagging the right one. I got a sample size after trading in a few points. Not sure if it was the specific one I got, but the brush was broken. I was able to repair it, but the product seemed to be all dried up. Destashing this one. I’ve got a few other mascaras anyway. Good thing I didn’t spend any actual money on it!

Nyx dewy finish setting spray

It did it’s job well. I much prefer Charlotte Tilbury Mini Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray 1.1 oz/ 34 ml though, so I’ll be sticking to that from now on. I might revisit this the nyx setting spray if I need something on a budget. 

Covergirl white eyeliner

I didn’t like the formula of this one. It wasn’t very pigmented and it dragged and skipped. I replaced it with SEPHORA COLLECTION Sephora Colorful® Wink-It Felt Tip Liquid Waterproof Eyeliner 05 Bone White, which I like more and the felt tip is much more precise. 

LA Colors Palette 

I tried to hold onto this one because it was colourful, but I wasn’t fond on the colours and they weren’t very pigmented. Nice for a subtle wash of colour but if I’m going to use colour, I want it to pop! Destashed as well. 

[lmaster]

@JoSometimes well you gave some products a good try, that's all you can do, great job

[JoSometimes]

@lmaster I’ll try almost anything at least one time. If it’s not for me, I won’t repeat it.

@JoSometimes  It’s good you tried most of your missed. You know what works for you!! Great job!
