Really, I’m more of a monthly empties poster, but I’ve been using up stuff rapidly this month. Maybe because I started getting intentional about decluttering in September? IDK. LIKE Body Drench exfoliating gel. IDK. It’s likable, but I’m not going out of my way to find out who sells it. So, not a thing i’ll repurchase. MAC Gleam. It’s a cool color, but feels less relevant to me these days so won’t repurchase. So glad it’s panned. UD Naked. This is a love. I have many backups. Just a good neutral taupey brown that goes with everything.

good job on panning!! @christyrc

This makes me think I should pull out some of m MAC singles.  They haven't gotten any love from me in a long time.... but they used to be-- as you said-- more relevant in my life.

@keana1 Something about an empty toner bottle is SO satisfying hahhaa

[keana1]

Did you ever try this toner @cianni ? It’s so great! ❤️❤️❤️ 

[lmaster]

@keana1 you love the buffet? or is that a nope?

[keana1]

I love the Buffet, it’s full of peptides @lmaster ! It’s one of my favourite serums ❤️❤️❤️. A 30ml bottle ( 1oz ) can last for a few months, the key is to use only 3 drops for the entire face ( eye area included ) and it won’t pill ! 

[lmaster]

That's exactly how I use every serum @keana1 one drop per cheek and one in the center of my forehead and pat it all in. I'm loving the ordinary buffet too just started using it about a month ago and it's half ish gone. Loving how light weight it is too 💙💗

[keana1]

It’s my HG serum @lmaster ! I can’t go a day without using it ( twice a day ) ! I love it so much that I have 3 backups! It’s my drug of choice LOL 😂! Best of all, it’s so inexpensive for a multi-peptide serum ❣️

[lmaster]

@keana1 oh totally agree. Love it

Weekly trash, I knew I was busy this week but 6 sheet masks (including one from this morning) was  surprising.

All of these masks were great, the Vita Cocktail my least favorite yet it was still a good mask. The Merbliss was very nice, although I was hoping it was a gauze mask like another one in their line that is amazing. Still good though.

No loves here, everything was kind of so-so or not for me. Except for the Kilian, it had a grandpa smell that was not a good one and I couldn’t stand myself when I wore it. 

I had had high hopes for the ND foundation, but it was just too much coverage on the first application without allowing me to build up. I tried three different primers (Tatcha Silk Canvas, Becca Velvet Blurring Powder, and Becca First Light) and there was no ‘glow’ just a flat matte finish. Which, if that’s your thing, this might be your thing!

JHAG Sunny Side Up was not very memorable for me, can’t place the scent but it wasn’t my cup of tea. Not terrible, though.

[lmaster]

@eshoe I was curious about the kilian perfume... doesn't sound appealing

[eshoe]

The other one I had a sample of was better, @lmaster, the princess one. Neither lasted long on me but most perfumes don’t. Another one I’m glad I didn’t like, especially when I’m trying not to spend $🤨

[lmaster]

Oh I love the princess @eshoe but Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum 1.6 oz/ 50 mL Eau de Parfum Spray is easier on the wallet and similar scent in my opinion. 

[eshoe]

Oh I have a sample of that YSL @lmaster, I’ve hD it for awhile now. Will need to try it!

[sonnydee]

Agree on the adults. I think the smell of cedarwood killed it for me. I've got the travel spray for princess!@eshoe 

[eshoe]

I don’t mind cedarwood on it’s own @sonnydee, but this blend was just no bueno for me:/

[cianni]

when I was picking products for my project pan for 2019, I realized there were a ton of products I didn’t want to include because they’re things I knew I would finish and it wouldn’t be much of a challenge. So I’ll be trying to do an update here as well to include things that are outside of my pan! I’m not going to include sheet masks or foils because I already know I’m going to forget to keep those for a photo.

LOVE - the mini Tommy Hilfiger 2 is a really nostalgic smell to me so it will forever be a love for that reason alone (I think I bought my first bottle in high school). I hate dabbers and have since discovered scents I lIke better, so I’m happy to have this finished. Not pictured - The Creme Shop charcoal makeup remover wipes. Love these, I have repurchased. Takes makeup off without making my skin feel stripped and dry, and I can Usually take a whole face off with both sides of one wipe.

MEH - benefit roller lash. I know everyone loves this but I prefer my BTS and the Milk Kush. I had a bunch of minis of the roller lash and this is officially my last one. Clinique acne solutions cleansing gel - made my skin feel clean. I don’t struggle with too much acne but it did help to keep some of my smaller whiteheads at bay. It did the job, but I feel like are so many other washes with 2% salicylic acid that it doesn’t make it that special.

DISLIKES - L’Oréal power moisture hair mask and Verb Sea Texture cream. For both I found that they smelled nice, but I saw no difference between using them and not.

[lmaster]

@cianni great job! getting through the hair mask!!

[cianni]

@lmaster Thank you! I swear towards the end it was like... must... finish.. so close... even though no results..... 😂😂 I’m happy to see that one go 👋🏼👋🏼
