That Briogio is still a good one in my books @ShortErica .  I'm a native fan now though. I feel like I may end up with a few of the native deodorants in different scents depending on what I feel like that day. 

[ShortErica]

@missjeanie I was curious about Native but at this point I've stocked up on a couple scents of Schmidt's that I need to use first. You'll have to let me know which Native ones you like best. 😊

@ShortErica I'm so happy you like the spongelle!! I'm a bit addicted to those,, they are a bit stiff at first, I just hold it under the water and squish it a few times, but it's definitely a great buffer

[ShortErica]

I can understand why @lmaster! Thanks for the tip.

Hi @lmaster,

I have been wanting to try the FARMACY - Dew It All Total Eye Cream! Thanks for sharing your empties! 

Best,

Rebecca

[lmaster]

I really like it!! @RebeccaBT however FARMACY - Cheer Up Brightening Vitamin C Eye Cream with Acerola Cherryis another excellent eye cream, I might like the texture of the cheer up a bit better, but both are excellent

There are so many great beauties in your loves @lmaster! ♥️ Good to know about the Purelisse; I like their watermelon sheet mask and had looked at that peel a couple of times - note to self: Self, you can just walk on by. 😉 My wallet thanks you, hon! 🤗 

[lmaster]

@itsfi 👍 haha!! These past couple exfoliating masks have just been too harsh for me personally

Nice empties @quspork! This is the first time I’ve noticed the ingredients in the OH moisturizer; looks like something my skin might like.

Great work, @quspork!

A great start for this new year! YTD total is 23 (I didn't count the declutter items, but I do count samples, DS and sheet mask). Very happy to finish many full size items 🙂 

LOVES !!!

Spoiler

Loves : 

- Sephora Collection Exfoliating Body Granita Scrub in Beach Vibes : Second time buying this and still love this gentle exfoliator. Love the scent and the fact that I can use it everyday.

- Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream : A must!

- Epsom Salts Eucalyptus scent (from the generic brand of my drugstore) : Really liked these after a long day or a hard sweaty workout! 

- Calgon! Take me away Bath Fizzies in Hawaiian Ginger : Loved these little fizzers. I can put one or two in my bath whether I want a strong scent or not. Super affordable and love the tropical scent.

- Creme Shop Peach Face Mask : Made my skin feel hydrated but not dripping with serum which I prefer in a sheet mask.

-Dr Jart Water Replenishment Cotton Sheet Mask : Love love love. A must for dry winter weather. The cotton sheet is so comfy and the serum makes my skin feel hydrated for 24 to 48 hours.

- Pixi Glow Tonic : Affordable and helps me tone my skin while removing any dirt left on after cleansing and giving me a beautiful glow.

- Indie Lee Coq-10 Toner : Love that this is alcohol free. Simple toner and my sensitive skin reacted very well to it. The hyaluronic acid made my skin feel plumped. Probably will be my next toner purchase after I go through my stash!

- Olaplex N°3 : Best repair treatment my hair has ever known. This must be my fifth or sixth bottle.

-Christophe Robin Detangling Jelly With Sea Minerals : Such a good detangling conditioner. My hair is really fine but also extremely frizzy and wavy. Love to use it along with the Sea Salt scalp scrub by the same brand.

-YTTP Superfood Air Whip Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer : This little deluxe sample is one of my favorite discovery of this year (This isn't new, but it is to me lol). Definitely considering buying a full size of this, but I have so many moisturizer to use. Love the way this hydrated my skin, made it look plump but like nothing was on.

- Bath & Body Works Toasted Vanilla Chai Foaming Soap : This scent is everything. Strong vanilla scent with delightful chai spices. Hope they'll bring it back every year.

-Briogeo Don't Despair Repair Hair Mask : Brings my waves/curls back to life. Also love to use this after the Christophe Robin scalp scrub.

-Tarte Maracuja Oil : Easy to use on skin and hair. Not the lightest oil, but not too heavy either.

Likes and Okays

Likes : 

- Ikea Sinnlig Candle in Peach and Orange : Cheap and strong scent that will fill up a room. Plus it burns a really long time. Love that you can reuse the glass container.

- Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo : I can go an extra day sometimes two without washing my hair. Love the classic Amika scent in it. I find the best way to use it is by spraying it from underneath while you lift your roots up and brushing your hair afterwards. Doesn't give a lot of volume but definitely refresh.

- Coola Makeup Setting Spray with SPF 30 : When my skin feels oilier I love to spray this on top of my makeup instead of applying a heavy sunscreen on my skin that will make me look greasier. The finish is a bit sticky though and it has a strong sunscreen scent.

- Sunday Riley CEO Serum : Love the brightening results, but not the biggest fan of the milky consistency. It feels heavy on my skin.

- Farmacy Honey Drop Moisturizer : A pretty lightweight cream, didn’t make me look greasy.
-REN Evercalm Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask : I have really red cheeks, forehead and chin sometimes and this helps me calm my skin.
- Nutricap Hair & Nails supplements : This actually made my skin and nails look really good although I didn’t notice anything different about my hair and it was the main reason I was taking these. One thing I didn't like about these was the weird taste of the capsules and they are pretty big to swallow.

Ok :
-Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Cream : This was a sample of the old formula so I can’t properly judge this cream. It made my face look greasy, so I use the rest as a hand cream and it was okay. I don’t believe it is meant for my combo skin type
-Sand & Fog Candle in Tropical Citrus : I am a HUGE fan of these candles, but not as much of this scent. Smelled nice when it wasn’t lit, but when it was lit it smelled a little like burnt citrus.

Declutter

Spoiler

Declutter :

LOVE the Becca Hydro-Mist Powder but.... my only complaint about it is that it expires within 6 months of use and the powder gets dry. I got one in a Boxycharm box so I discarded my old one. If it's not refreshing I don't see the point of using this powder to be honest.

Wasn't the biggest fan of the Sephora Bright Future Concealer. I had read that it was a dupe to the Nars Creamy Concealer, but I didn't see that. It doesn't cover my dark circles like the Nars one and it looks really cakey and creases on me. I've tried many ways to use it because I wanted a cheaper alternative to Nars, unfortunately this didn't make the cut.

My Duo Lash Glue - Clear was super old and I prefer a dark glue to apply falsies. It looks more seamless. Also, didn't like the fact that a lot of product comes out of the applicator. I prefer a tube with a brush.

Oh you definitely did a great job!! @ellem24 

[ellem24]

Thank you @lmaster 😊

[itsfi]

Excellent empties @ellem24! 🙌🏼 I also love that Dr Jart Water Replenishment sheet masks - it’s soooo good. It was a BIC recommended mask (thank you @yankeefaithful! 😃) and is one of my favorites! 💗💕 Such a great mask for hydration! 💦
