Wow you did great this month! @itsfi 

I have a similar issue with Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Vitamin C Lactic 15% Firm & Bright Serum 1 oz / 30 mL , my skin loves it but it has a very strong smell, but like yours it dosen't last too long after applying.

Its always fun too read through your product breakdowns, thank you for those reports 😊

[itsfi]

It's that L-asorbic acid vitamin C smell @CynthieLu! It's a marvelous skincare ingredient but my goodness, the scent can pack a punch at the outset, right?! Thanks, cynthielu; I appreciate hearing about how a product performs, and have discovered some wonderful products I might not have otherwise, all because of some of the details and feedback folks here have shared. I try to do the same when I can. 

[CynthieLu]

The DG one, is pretty potent and reminds me of smoke 😅 @itsfi.

Soooo true, reading everyone's posts and accounts of items has led me to fabolous gems. 🤩 I love hearing about everything, good and bad. It's all helpful. 😊

[itsfi]

Agree @CynthieLu, it's helpful, especially because what works for one person may not for another. There are some products that are well loved by folks here and I can see that it's a good product from the ingredients list, feedback from people I trust, but for whatever reason, it just doesn't work for me. Likewise, there are items I probably never would have considered giving a try and then someone with the same preference for ingredients or who has similar skin concerns or likes as me speaks well of a product and what do you know? It's in my cart and soon enough, on its way here - some times, it's a winner and others, just not for me.

Haus labs foundation is amazing!! @itsfi good job on your empties 🙌

[itsfi]

I really like the formula and how well it wears @lmaster; I just need to get the right shade match. I think either 100 or 110 would work but just want to make sure - somehow it justifies me picking up another foundation if the shade match is as close as it can be. 😂  In my defense, I do work through my foundations, most of them anyways, or make a valiant effort to. 

[lmaster]

I'm absolutely trying to use my foundations up @itsfi I was terrible in the past with buying new foundations. We are on a similar path 😂

[itsfi]

I feel better being on this path knowing I'm in good company @lmaster!

October empties = 20

Destashes = 4

I would repurchase all except for the Bontani Cals soap. I received it in a sub box. It was nice but nothing special for the regular price.

All full size products I enjoyed.  I really enjoyed the Juice Beauty cleanser. It left my skin feeling clean without drying it out. The Tower 28 Beauty MakeWaves Lengthening + Volumizing Mascara Jet #is going to be a repurchase. This is one of my new favourite mascaras. I really like the shape of the wand. The nail polish remover has been a repeat buy. The body scrub was a gift and smelled like a spa

Foils and deluxe samples. At Sephoria, Dr.Dennis Gross suggested I use the Daily Peels. Luckily I have a bunch of samples that were GWPs.

My goal was to mask more this month. I used some masks that were in pots too.

Destashes. The dry shampoo left brown residue on my hands when I touched my hair (not a good look). The mascara ran on me. The Sephora lippie was not a flattering shade on me. The MAC base had dried out.

@Mellmars1185 Personalized skin care suggestions from the Doc himself!!  I'm not a fan of the Batiste for the exact same reason.  I touch my hair way too much for the dark powder rubbing off to be okay.

[CynthieLu]

Good work @Mellmars1185 👏

Oooh a brown residue, that's a definite nope! 

[Mellmars1185]

@scott1201 Thanks @CynthieLu . There are better dry shampoos out there 😊

[lmaster]

There's that mascara! Glad you are loving it, great job @Mellmars1185

Amazing work this month @Samtian 👏

Good for you sending off the JVN to a home that will appreciate it! 💕

It's how it goes right? A miss for you could be a total win for someone else. 😊 Ooh that barbie bomb looks too fun!

[Samtian]

@CynthieLu Thank you! Yep this person really loves the product so I was like bingo!I really liked the smell of that Barbie Bomb.

[lmaster]

@Samtian that's so kind of you to gift the jvn! Great job!!

[Samtian]

@lmaster Thank you!!

[Mellmars1185]

@Samtian Great empties!! I bet the recipient of the JVN will be so happy. I am happy to hear the caffeine eye masks are a hit. I picked one up during the sale and it is new to me.

[Samtian]

@Mellmars1185 Oh they will be! The eye mask is a pretty good one! Hope you like it.
