Great empties, @WhereYouStand!!

[lmaster]

Fabulous job!! @WhereYouStand do you like other native scents? Just not the coconut?

[WhereYouStand]

@lmaster sadly I have only tried that one and  i actually loved the scent and really wanted To love the product it just wasn’t strong enough to work throughout my day I work retail so I’m guessing since I am moving around a lot that It just didn’t hold up long enough to get through the day.I had to keep applying it every few hours Which wasn’t practical for my needs. 

[lmaster]

I completely understand that @WhereYouStand 

[ather]

@WhereYouStand  Wow great job!!! I had to use 3 of my peace out acne dots last night and I almost cried!!! Sooo good tho!

[WhereYouStand]

They are great I wish I didn’t have to use so many in one go either I wish they came with more in a pack Laugh Out Loud

March empties

LOVES - These are all products I would repurchase and, in some cases, already have repurchased. The only exceptions are the Pier One Ginger Peach candle (discontinued) and the Moonshot and Too Cool For School Masks, the former which has proven difficult to source and the latter of which has been discontinued.

LIKES - I would happily use any of these items again and could see myself repurchasing them. They're just not necessarily at the top of the repurchase list or ones that I feel like I have to have.

OKAY - These were fine; what I would consider good, but not great. I would use these again if I had them, but I wouldn't seek them out.

NO - I couldn't get the byTerry sheet mask to stay on; the fit was off all around. The lip balm ended up being repurposed as a base for a DIY lip scrub, which has since been used up. 

MTD = 86 / YTD = 323

2020 vs. 2021 YTD

Spoiler

Item	Q1 2020	Q1 2021
Full Size	142	198
Deluxe / Travel	41	55
Foil	50	70
Total	233	323

I've been masking two times per day this year and that seems to account for the difference in the quarter to date totals between this year and last year.

I used up an aggregate total of 5 deluxe and foil sized items this month, while in January and February combined, I used up a total of 120 deluxe and foil size products. I knew that I was using less deluxe and foil sized products. I went through all but a handful earlier this year and, with the exception of maybe half a dozen deluxe sized products in my current rotation, all the products I'm using are full sizes! Yay! 😁

Great job on the empties, @itsfi!! 

[itsfi]

Thank you @haleyvvvv. It’s nice to be moving to practically all full size items. 

[ather]

@itsfi  Great job!!!  I hate when good products get discontinued. Very sad. 

[itsfi]

Thank you @ather! 😀 I agree, it's such a bummer when the good ones go away permanently. ☹️

[lmaster]

Marvelous job @itsfi love that you were able to repurpose the lip balm

[itsfi]

Thank you @lmaster! 🤗 With no buys and using what I already have, I’ve been finding ways to repurpose items. It’s been a nice way to work through my stash! 😊

Mostly "loves". The BlenderCleanser was fine but I prefer the solid version and the Purple Reign shampoo was really odd because it sort of toned my hair but it somehow toned it unevenly and in weird, unflattering streaks.

The mask was the only dud; it did absolutely nothing for my hair.

The only real "love" was the Fresh Sugar lip balm; everything else was just "meh".
