@eshoe Thank you!! I didn't realize how many products I finished until I laid everything. I was both proud and embarrassed. 😆 I can't wait to hear about your experience with the Formula 10.0.6 sheet masks, and I hope it's a really good one. 

It's hard to say for sure how long it took me to finish the Bum Bum Cream because I was constantly rotating it in and out of my routine. If I splice it together, I would estimate it lasted about 4 months with me using it about 3-4 times a week. I have dry skin, and I really slather it on, so it may last longer with a lighter hand.

Four months @sephoraaddict918 lol I guess I must be really stingy with mine! Full strength for arms, diluted with unscented lotion for legs. I bet it feels soooo good on your dry skin 🥰

August Empties

Spoiler

Notes:
Nugg Skin Fizz, which I suspect has been discontinued.
Sachajuan Hair Cleansing Cream, this was another expired sample so I used before tossing. I use the FS as one of two shampoos my hair tolerates.
Pyunkang Yul Essence - slightly viscous essence that my skin loves. An easy repurchase.
Rodial Glamolash Mascara XXL - this mascara made by lashes look so pretty, and natural, but it took some work to make it work. The product itself is very thick, and I had to apply numerous coats to get my final look. But it was always pretty, and always worth it. There are just so many other mascaras that make it easier with the same results.

The Biossance Detox Mask with Tea Tree Oil Mask is very, very strongly scented. It's been a few months and it is veering on a turpentine scent, so I am tossing. 

Everything else was good, overall a quiet but good month.

@eshoe I hate it when good products get discontinued 😔. 

[eshoe]

It’s happened with so many of my favorites @CookieGirl1, getting attached to anything in beauty is risky business🤔

[CookieGirl1]

@eshoe I know! I'm guilty of buying backups of some of my favorites if I suspect that they're going by the wayside but I really try not to stock up on stuff too much. Catch 22.

[eshoe]

Yeah, @CookieGirl1 - I guess if anything it’s a reminder to just appreciate the present. 

[lmaster]

Noooooo @eshoe not discontinued 😣 great job!! 

[eshoe]

@lmaster I found a few in the brand’s site and bought them, along with a Kale/Lemongrass version which sounded good in theory. The scent is almost unbearable, but the results are good, so there is that😂

Only a couple weeks late but here’s my August empties:).  I just check what I’d buy again.  

  

 

[eshoe]

So many foils, @heartsmyface . Also, forgetting the name of the best acne dots. Do I spy them or are my eyes playing trickery😆

[heartsmyface]

@eshoe   Acropass makes the best acne dots (says my hubby).  They’re not here though.  What are you looking at that you think are acne dots? 

[eshoe]

Looking again, @heartsmyface - I have noooo idea! I guess I mistook one of the smaller mask foils for them😆 But thank you for the tip:)

[lmaster]

@heartsmyface nice job lovely!!

[heartsmyface]

@lmaster  Thank you.  I didn’t use up as many products as usual but I also haven’t been buying as much so maybe I’m still making progress on the stash? 

[CookieGirl1]

Way to use up those foil packets, @heartsmyface!

A few more things I finished recently. 

 

If you’ve been following my empties you know I’ve been on a no-buy since June. I am finishing all the things I have in my stash and not allowing myself to purchase until they all run out.

All the masks are ok, but nothing to write home about. I like those acne dots, I have been breaking out quite unusually. The Tatcha sunscreen is a HG product. The Bakuchiol serum was great, it’s so unfortunate it was discontinued (I know I say this constantly). I love that Laneige product because of the lavender scent. I would consider repurchasing in the future but I still love my belif aqua bomb the best.

@lnum  Awesome you’ve been sticking to the no buy. I was a bad girl and bought the DE micellar water to be fair mine is almost out and I bought the new olaplex 0 

I plan on a no buy August and to keep my no buy until I’m out!!

[lnum]

@ather I am with you for a no buy August! I think I might need shampoo, conditioner and one face oil but that’s it. 

[ather]

@lnum  That’s not to bad!! My little man was playing in my closet this morning and pulling out all my DS and I realized I shouldn’t need anything for a bit. I have so many foils I need to use up too! 

[lmaster]

@lnum great job!! You've really done wonderful at shopping your stash!
