Fantastic job @Mellmars1185! I absolutely love the Givenchy powders!

[Mellmars1185]

@faeriegirl Thank you. It is my favourite setting powder so far. I purchased my next one in one shade darker. We shall see which works best! 😊

[CookieGirl1]

Wow, @Mellmars1185, so many full sized products!

[Mellmars1185]

Thank you @itsfi  @eshoe

Wow great job!! Why do we tend to hold onto products that don’t work for so long?? 

[itsfi]

Wow, look at all those full size empties @Mellmars1185! 😍 Excellent work! 

[CynthieLu]

Ooh yup, it was definitely time for some of those to go. @Mellmars1185 Good work this month! 

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu Thank you!!

[Mellmars1185]

@Samtian @caitbird Thank you very much ☺️

[caitbird]

@Mellmars1185  awesome job with all those empties! And your destashes too - seeing folks making progress with destashing/decluttering is reminding me that I need to do the same soon 😅

[Samtian]

@Mellmars1185 Great job!

September 2023 Empties

Month-To-Date Total = 34 (YTD breakdown in spoiler below)

Everything here ⬆️ was fine enough. I would be happy to use any of these again if I had extra but I don't feel like I need to run out to buy any on these items immediately. Love the smell of the Ceremonia shampoo & conditioner - these were good but I'm pretty much set with shampoos and conditioners I like having in my rotation but I am thinking about getting the perfume from the brand during the sale - Ceremonia Perfume De La Tierra 1.7 oz / 50 mL perfume spray. The Native body wash I liked, but the peach scented one from the brand is still my top choice and the one I'll likely repurchase.

The nail polish removers did what they needed to do; these are remnants of partially opened  / used products that I'm working my way through; not favorites but ones that do just fine. The Phillip B. dry shampoo is a nice one, but not a favorite and at the price point, it needs to be a favorite if I'm going to repurchase it. Hibiclens cleanser and JVN Complete Blowout Styling Milk 3 oz / 90 mL are products I'll repurchase; the latter is on my list for the sale.

Empties from my trip to NYC. 🍎 Some tried and true and new favorites in this batch; I wrote about them in more detail on the Foil Challenge Thread. Repeated repurchases from this group include Farmacy Honey Halo Ultra-Hydrating Ceramide Moisturizer and SEPHORA COLLECTION Clean Eye Mask Caffeine. The Moroccanoil Shower Gel Cleanser Spa du Maroc is a new-to-me product that has made the list for the sale starting at the end of the month - how does the time go by so quickly?!!

Nice job @itsfi 

[itsfi]

@makeitup305, thank you. It was a good month for empties. 😊 

[JoSometimes]

Great job with all those empties @itsfi! I love how all your foils are neatly cut in the upper right corner. Very satisfying to look at after. 🙂

[itsfi]

Thank you @JoSometimes! I have a little OCD when it comes to cutting into my foil samples - corners and preferably with a pair of scissors. 😆 

[faeriegirl]

Awesome job @itsfi! The JVN styling milk is so good! 

[itsfi]

Thank you @faeriegirl! I've been surprised by how much I like the JVN styling milk; I definitely notice a difference when it's not part of my hair care routine. It's definitely going on the list for the sale. 🛍

[CookieGirl1]

@itsfi does the Moroccanoil Shower Gel Cleanser smell like all of the other Moroccanoil products?

[itsfi]

@CookieGirl1, there are 7 different scents to choose from in the shower gel range. The scents I've tried (oud minerale, ambre noir and spa du maroc) have not resembled the fragrance in the brand's hair care line. There is a "Fragrance Originale" in the shower gel but I have not tried that scent. I'm assuming that that would be the scent that is most like the fragrance in the hair care collection but I have not tried that scent in the shower gel so I couldn't say for certain.

@itsfi  Wow! Great job! I am impressed!! Looks like using foils have helped you find a new fav!! That’s awesome!! I like that the nail polish remover did its job 🤣 I guess that’s one that does one thing great so it can’t really get much better!
