@Samtian, I like the convenience and portability of the waterdrops. I think it will depend on the flavor you pick. I purchased 4 different flavors a couple of years ago when they first came on the market and I liked the other two flavors the best - hence why I had leftovers (1 tablet of each flavor) of these two. 😆  I just logged onto their site again and they seem to have even more flavors now. 👀 I may have to try them at some point. 🛒 

For flavored water, I like using real fruit to infuse my water best, but that can require more effort than I want to give on some days, so my next choice would be the infused waters by hint, then either the flavors from Pure Inventions (liquid tinctures) or these Waterdrops.

@itsfi I'll have to look into that other one. I am interested in starting infused water. I need to drink more water and have been trying. But man Dr Pepper sure gets me. I recently had a UTI that went to my kidneys and had to drink more water than I think I ever have in my life lol.

Oh no @Samtian, I hope you are fully recovered. 

It's good to hydrate, but I completely get it, it's not always easy to take in a lot of water. It took me a while to get used to drinking as much water as I do now. 

For infused water, you can buy bottles in the grocery store, though they are more expensive. When I make my own, I just grab my water bottle, slice up some fruit (I like oranges, or oranges, lemon & limes, though apples, cinnamon stick and pear slices make a yummy combo for the fall), add that into my water bottle and fill it up with water. I'll make it before bed and leave it in the fridge ovenight for the next day.

@itsfi Thanks! I'll have to try that.

At the beginning of the month I didn't think that I'd have many Empties.  Silly me 😁.

Of course I love these!  If you know me, you already know this...

All loves and I either have already repurchased them or would repurchase them.

Not my jam.  I used to love the Verb Ghost Weightless Oil to Fight Frizz and Enhance Shine 2 oz/ 60 mL but I've found other hair oils that I like so much better and TBH, I don't understand why people love the Tower 28 Beauty MakeWaves® Lengthening + Volumizing Mascara Jet so much; I ended up just using it on my bottom lashes because it did NOTHING for my upper lashes.

Spoiler

Declutters.  The Living Proof Perfect hair Day Healthy Hair Perfector 4 oz / 120 mL just didn't do anything and as for the PMG lipstick...I don't know, I guess that unlike most people I'm just not the biggest fan of her lippies in general.

Yes.  These are STAPLES in my routine!

Meh.  Nothing to write home about.

@CookieGirl1 Great empties. The banana candle sounds like it would smell amazing.

@CookieGirl1  Great job! 

[lmaster]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts 😊 @CookieGirl1

@CookieGirl1  Oh wow 3 candles gone!  I love candles but my family doesn’t 😫.  I’m not a fan of Verb Ghost oil either. It didn’t work for me 

[Samtian]

@CookieGirl1 Fantastic job!! That Tatcha packaging 😍

[CookieGirl1]

@Samtian I know, it's so pretty!

[greeneyedgirl107]

@CookieGirl1 what hair oils do you like?

[CookieGirl1]

@greeneyedgirl107 right now my top two are the Kérastase Elixir Ultime Hydrating Hair Oil Serum 3.4 oz/ 100 mL and the shu uemura Essence Absolue Nourishing Protective Hair Oil 5 oz/ 150 mL .

[greeneyedgirl107]

@CookieGirl1 I tried the latter and didn't care for it, but I am interested in the former.  I'll have to look into it more.

Every month can’t be super successful. So this month is a little sad. Both I loved. I don’t know if I will replace the peace out serum since my acne is better. But I definitely will get the inkey list! 

 

[Mellmars1185]

@ather Sometimes it is about quality, not quantity. I am glad these worked for you!

[ather]

@Mellmars1185  I agree!

[lmaster]

Got job!! I have those months too, I did horrible with sheet masks this month @ather 

[ather]

@lmaster  oh no! I don’t save my sheet masks. I am way to lazy!! I go through months where I use one a day and some months only 5. I’ve been on a tube mask kick lately! 

[lmaster]

Ever since we remodeled the bathroom, I've been slacking majorly with sheet masks 😔 @ather I definitely need to get back to all things masking asap

I really like tranexamic acid as a skincare ingredient; great to hear TIL serum was a winner for you. Yay for your acne being better!
