Ahh! I guess I got the last of the older one then. I haven’t gotten around to replacing it yet. Maybe I’ll give the reformulated one a try. Thanks for the info @ather!

July 2023 Empties (MTD = 17 / YTD = 262)

I would repurchase all of these beauties and will at some point, if I haven't already, except for the Heimish All Clean Balm Mandarin, though I would repurchase the original version of the cleansing balm. I really thought I'd like this Mandarin version but there's an earthy / herbaceous note to this that takes away from the citrus scent, and that my nose did not find appealing. 

The star of this group of empties is the Westman Atelier Foundation Stick; I surprised myself when I finished it. 

The body mist and hair mask are likes, though I won't be repurchasing - I have other body mists to work through and hair masks too; besides, that hair mask is pricey. I have other similar products to use up but I can see myself repurchasing both the Haus Oil Secondary and the Touchland hand sanitizer Blue Sandalwood. In fact, I do have multiple other Touchland hand sanitizers, including another of this scent, but in the Blackpink x Touchland collab packaging.

These are my travel empties for July. I would happily use and repurchase the Sulwhasoo serum and the Tatcha cleansing oil. I like the SdJ hair mist and would happily use it if I had another one; it's a lovely scent, but not my favorite of the ones from the brand. Similarly, I'd use the Dr. Jart sheet mask and the Fresh lip balm again if I had them though I'm not sure I'd run out and pick them up, primarily because I have plenty of other similar products.

@itsfi great job!

[itsfi]

Thank you @BluePaisley! It ebbs and flows. Some weeks, I wonder if I’ll ever finish a product. Others I think wow, I had that many things in use? 😆 

[ather]

@itsfi  Great job! And omg I don’t think you left any of that WA foundation in the container! How would you rate the WA foundation stick? I have been meaning to test it out! 

[itsfi]

Thank you @ather; I was determined to use up as much as I could. Of all the foundation sticks I’ve purchased, it’s the one I like the most. It just works well for my skin, both the oilier parts and the more dry ones - buildable coverage, glides on smoothly and blends well; no cakiness or separation by end of day.

@itsfi  Wow congratulations on finishing the foundation 😃.  It really does take a long time to finish makeup!  And way to go on finishing so many products 🎊

[itsfi]

You can say that again @Cissy63! I do try to use up my base products but my goodness! It does take a long time to get to the bottom.

@itsfi @ Nice work on these empties! 

[itsfi]

@Mellmars1185, thank you! It feels good to work my way through things. 

[lmaster]

@itsfi you know you love a product when you dig in 🙌 good job 

[itsfi]

@lmaster, for as much as that foundation stick cost, I was gonna get as much of my pennies worth as I could. 😂 

[CynthieLu]

Excellent work this month @itsfi. A special cheer for finishing up the foundation stick! 🥳

[itsfi]

@CynthieLu, thank you. Make up products take so much time to use up, even if I'm reaching for a particular item on a regular basis. 

[makeitup305]

@itsfi nicely done! It's so hard to finish makeup so kudos!

[itsfi]

I know, right @makeitup305?! Skincare is the easiest for me to work my way through; makeup comes at a slower pace. It felt good to get to the point where I was using a brush to pick up product or needing to transfer it to a jar. 

[CookieGirl1]

@itsfi there's something very satisfying about finishing off a foundation.

[itsfi]

@CookieGirl1, agree. It feels good to use up any product but foundation in particular. I don't wear it as often as I use to so working my way through a bottle is especially nice.

[CynthieLu]

My empties this month are rounded up on the Foil Challenge thread.

Plus these additions 😄

I had brought a ton of minis/ foils with me on a cottage adventure this month. I'm soon to return home,  but I feel really successful for trying out new things and using up a nice portion of my stash. 

Amazingly everything I brought has been sooo good 🤩

Not pictured are the "Full livving proof" mini tubes of shampoo and Conditioner. Holy I'm amazed with that.  My damaged hair was soo soft after 2 washes and conditions from the set,  plus my hair was soo light and bouncy ❤️

@CynthieLu Excellent empties! Glad you got to try some new items out at the cottage!

[CynthieLu]

Thank you @Mellmars1185  It worked out nicely, everything I brought a winner or good 👍( 😉 that was a surprise )
