@itsfi I LOVE that candle.  Hence why I have at least 3 backups, lol.

3 backups sounds very reasonable @CookieGirl1! Hahaha! Love it. 🙂

October empties:

Masks

Spoiler

Loved all the masks, especially the Annie's Way and the by Nature Apple Stem Cell, which refreshes and brightens my face, making it glow.

These were ok.

Spoiler

The Lise Watier Sublimessence smelled so refreshing. But what were these products doing that my other products were not? They were not bad, they were just fine for the most part, but I don't see myself repurchasing or collecting more samples of these items. 
The Volition serum was thick and it was weird. It didn't smell like strawberries.
The Kiehl's Creamy eye treatment was nice and rich- is nice for overnight (I just have a pile of eye creams).
The Tata Harper Resurfacing mask- smelled weird, and the effects weren't as nice as other resurfacing products. 

NO.

Spoiler

Fresh Black Tea eye concentrate was thick and paste-like. I didn't like that, nor how it tugged at the skin, nor how the beads of moisture inside of it never melted into my skin. I heard it has a short shelf-life, but still. I got this as a GWP in the spring, and I had to give up on it. I would not buy this.
The Creme Shop balm cleanser I thought would save me money instead of my Farmacy cleanser. That's a big No. It caused blister-like pimples and deep pimples while I used it.  It did not matter that I followed by micellar water. I stopped and so did the breakout. I had to throw it away.

❤❤❤

Spoiler

All loves. Farmacy Green Clean- love this cleansing balm at night. It takes all my makeup off.
Stila Huge Extreme Lash Mascara- adds volume and length to my lashes. Doesn't flake.
Amorepacific Vintage Essence- loved this sample.
SK-II - what kind of magic is this? I managed to make this last 2 weeks and my skin *loved* it. My skin looked more even and glowed everyday. Glowed. I could have had some foundation-free days using this.  I'm contemplating buying it in the sale, but I do have a bottle of Amorepacific essence that I bought to get through.

@l8totheparty That Honey Dew mask looks nice.

[l8totheparty]

It smelled divine as well. @Samtian

So many sheet masks! 🤩 Nice job @l8totheparty! 

[l8totheparty]

Thanks, @itsfi ! In the whole 'try to get through some samples' plan I had the sheet mask count did not get as high as I would like, but a great effort was put forth 😉😊

Nice set of empties @l8totheparty!! I really like using the Kiehl's eye cream as an under eye base for my makeup.

[l8totheparty]

I can imagine!  It was nice and rich. It would be nice for winter or nights on my skin but I have so many to get through. @sephoraaddict918

Thanks!  I'm working on the little things. @lmaster

3 Empties: 1) Pur Blush - I got this early this year in Mar/April. It is such a vibrant pink and goes so well with my skin tone. Sadly it only has a 6 month expiration date and I noticed a deterioration on the performance. I did enjoy this over the summer and will probably pick one up again although because the life line is so short, I’m going to wait until I empty out a couple of blushes that I own first before I pick this up again. Other than that if you like keeping your blush simple this was a great buy with just the perfect amount for 6 months 2) Fenty Brow Pencil - I’m glad I picked this up to try it. It’s always good to venture off and try new things once in a while. I didn’t hate it but it’s not for me. I will probably not pick this up as I need more coverage. You really have to build up with this pencil. I think this is great for someone who has thicker brows and need minimal fill. I’ll be going back to Anastasia Brow Wiz. I also realized that I liked the spoolie better over the brush paddle. 3) Huda concealer - I love that you get so much product out of this tube. It’s very creamy and has great coverage. It does crease and I think it’s better suited for someone with smoother texture under eyes. If I pick this up again it would be for contouring but for under eyes I’ll definitely be going back to NARS as that concealer always has my back. 😂

Wow! Great job on the empties @thatjedininja! 🙂 Helpful to hear how the Fenty compared to ABH Brow Wiz.

[WinglessOne]

@thatjedininja  Good job on panning the blush! 

I’ve only ever panned one blush (NARS Outlaw) because it was the only one I owned at the time. Unfortunately, Outlaw got me hooked on NARS’s other powder blushes; nowadays I have so many, I might never pan one again. 😄 Not even with my routine of monthly (or directly after a viral or bacterial illness) alcohol spritz + wipedowns of all my blushes.

Hi @thatjedininja ,

I was very curious about the Fenty Eyebrow pencil! Great set of empties! 

Best Wishes,

Janean

I don't ever recall panning a single blush in my life. They seem to last forever- my fair skin needs only a smidge I find. Yet here you are, panning a blush in 6 months. I bow down. @thatjedininja 

[thatjedininja]

@l8totheparty hahah! It was the only blush I had.  I tend to buy these in singles instead of palettes because I never use the whole palette.

@thatjedininja Great empties! That blush shade is gorgeous! 

Best,

Rebecca

@thatjedininja great job!! I really need to pan some makeup 🤦

[thatjedininja]

@lmaster  lol...I feel you! I have a few more things from last year that are about to expire and trying to get my $$'s worth but also don't want to torture myself. hahaha, some of the items I just have a love hate relationship with.

Earth therapeutics,Factr, and fresh Vita were just not for me, either the thickness of the sheet was too much or the scent. the escargot, the vitamin c and the heart eye mask, liked the benefits, just not my favorite material in masks, and lastly my loves
