Eeee, i’m About to dig into the cabana cream tomorrow and you have me doubtjngnimll like it now.  Suspense!  @itsfi 

[itsfi]

It could smell great on you @heartsmyface. There are a lot of people on BIC who love it and who don’t experience it turning on them. It just didn’t work for me. 😟

Nice empties @itsfi !!! I didn't like the smell of the Coco Cabana Cream in the jar or on my skin. In the jar it smelled too sweet, and when I put it on, it smelled like buttered popcorn. Hard pass for me! I will stick to the beloved Bum Bum Cream!

[heartsmyface]

😖. You’re not selling it.  I hate the smell of artificial buttered popcorn.  The  jelly bellies make me gag!  I hope it’s not like that!  @sephoraaddict918 

[itsfi]

Agreed! The Bum Bum Cream reigns supreme @sephoraaddict918! 👍🏼

Yay, be gone Blood Orange Sugar @itsfi 😂

[itsfi]

Shop my stash is really helping me get through my things @eshoe and this lip scrub is one of the ones I’m most happy to get through. 😃

@itsfi Ooooo I love Eminence. I will have to check out that moisturizer.

[christyrc]

@itsfi I loved the Stone Crop Hydrating Mist the most. It’s like a spray on essence. I also liked the Stone Crop Serum. They seem to have a lot more masks than when I was a heavy-user of Eminence about five years ago. I moved away from my “dealer.” I would LOVE to try the masks. I remember thinking the exfoliating scrubs were too harsh for my sensitive skin. My favorite moisturizer has been discontinued, but I think I also liked the Naseberry treatment cream, as far as being a good moisturizer that did not aggravate my rosacea.

[itsfi]

@christyrc, do you have any favorite Eminence products? I’ve just started looking into / using them more. I’ve tried a couple of things here and there but the last few products I’ve tried have really impressed me.

@itsfiI'm struggling with the same thing with the SDJ Cococabana!  I enjoy the scent in the container, but when I rub it in I'm not a fan.  I tried it again just the other day and it was the same thing.... but like you after an hour or two I smell my skin again and it smells okay, though nothing like it does straight from the pot.  I'm working on finishing up a full size lotion before I give this a really good go, but I'm not as excited to try it with the scent issues.  And I also LOVE the bumbum cream scent!

[itsfi]

@missjeanie, try mixing the Coco Cabana with another product, like the lotion you are trying to finish up. OR, what I also did was apply it at night, right before I went to bed - I’d be asleep by the time the scent changed on me. 😃👍🏼

[missjeanie]

Maybe I'll give night time a go... I shower at night a lot so it's a good time for me to apply lotion.  I'll try it out on its own for a bit before mixing, I really, really want to love this one....

[lmaster]

@itsfi at first I really did like the Coco Cabana but the third time I went to use it, it made my stomach churn lol just too sweet of a scent mixed with butter...ewwwwww

[itsfi]

@lmaster, it's funny how the cream turns a different scent - though neither the plasticky scent I had the pleasure of experiencing or the overly sweet and buttery scent you had sound appealing. It really does depend on a person's body chemistry. I thought of just tossing it, but ended up mixing it with some other lotions and oils. 

[lmaster]

Excellent idea @itsfi 😆

DDG were expired and smelled, so delcuttered. I do like this product when they're not expired.

Concealer was almost done, getting a little old. It was 3.5⭐

Clinique mascara is a fave, although I think it's been dethroned. Technically not empty because who uses a full mascara in 3 months, not this gal. 5⭐

Sponge from Luxie was fine. 2.5⭐

*When I started posting, I put things like the used but not finished makeup in decluttered, but I'm going to put in their starred categories going forward and leave decluttered for things that are expired or I didn't finish because of not liking it? 

[lmaster]

Great job!! @haleyvvvv 

[haleyvvvv]

Thank you, @lmaster!! 

[eshoe]

Ok I came here for the Volition Beauty Screen Time Hydrating Mist 1.7 oz/ 50 mL and I have my answer, thank you very much @haleyvvvv 😉

[haleyvvvv]

Lol, @eshoe. It's serviceable. Not my fave, the spray isn't good and it isn't very hydrating. The smell isn't for me either, not bad, just not good.
