@lmaster @What scent was the Nest candle?

[lmaster]

@SportyGirly125 it was the birthday gift candle, wild mint and eucalyptus 

[SportyGirly125]

@lmaster Oh thank you.  Good to know.

@lmaster I've been loving the TJ candles, love that you got to try so many scents!  RIP Becca primer, glad you had a backup!

[lmaster]

The candle advent calendar is amazing!!! @missjeanie I wouldn't get to experience TJ if it wasn't for @SportyGirly125 she is so thoughtful to share the love with me 🥰

@lmaster Holy cannoli, that is such an amazing monthly empty pile. I am truly impressed. I swear after being spoiled by my other candles, I always feel like the nest candles are so teeny tiny. 😂 Also a huge fan of The Creme Shop masks but have not seen that one around my area locally, looks super interesting ❤️

[lmaster]

Thank you darlin! @QueenMarceline hope you are doing well 🤗💓 I'm pretty sure I found a box of them at Marshalls a year or so ago

[QueenMarceline]

@lmaster Thanks so much ❤️ you as well. Feels good to be back 🙂

@lmaster  Great job! Look at all the candles! 

[lmaster]

Thank you sweet beauty ♥️ @ather

@lmaster great empties! Do you still have Scentbird? I just paused my membership, I was getting overwhelmed. I do like that they carry more niche and expensive scents that are usually at Saks but my choices seem hit or miss.

[lmaster]

@makeitup305 I did actually cancel it about a month ago, I just have too many perfumes right now to take more chances on not liking it. Thank you doll 

[makeitup305]

@lmaster let me know if you ever want to trade some. I can let you know which ones I have that don't get as much love from me. 

[lmaster]

Thank you for the offer darlin! @makeitup305 if I had some that were not used I would! I made a point to use them as bathroom air freshener 🤣

Great work this month @lmaster. I just tried a sample of Briogeo's scalp detox line, it's pretty impressive! 🤩

@CynthieLu thank you sweets!!

October 2023 Month-To-Date (MTD) Dashboard: 

Full & Deluxe Size Empties = 10

Foils = 25 (more details in the Foil Challenge thread)

Declutter / destashes = 10 (more details in the Show Me Your Declutters! thread

Of these 10 full or deluxe sized empties I made my way through this month, 6 are ones that I either have already repurchased or am seriously considering picking up either during the sale (ack! just when I thought I was done shopping the sale, lol) or before the year is over.

By now, it should be fairly clear that I'm a fan of the Touchland hand sanitizers - from the convenient package, the good spritzer and mister on the product itself, the variety of scents offered and that its performance - leaves my hands cleansed, clean, without tack or stickiness - these are must haves. Touchland BLACKPINK | TOUCHLAND Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizer BLACKPINK- Blue Sandalwood version that made its way through New York and Sephoria is sold out - don't worry, I picked up a few before that happened, along with some other favorite scents. 😉 Touchland Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizer Velvet Peach Touchland Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizer Blue Sandalwood Touchland Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizer Beach Coco 

The formula, finish & wear time on the HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Triclone Skin Tech Medium Coverage Foundation with Fermented Arnica 110 Light Neutral worked beautifully for my skin in September and October. I have another sample in the 100 shade which I think may be better suited for my undertones and may be the shade I eventually pick up. I want to see how the foundation wears on my skin when it's in its drier mood, but I can see this making its way here soon. 

My skin loved Biossance 100% Sugarcane Squalane Oil 3.4 oz / 100 mL day and night. It performed beautifully under my SPF and makeup, giving me a dewy, but not oily, glow and it worked well overnight to keep my skin hydrated and moisturized.

I finished the OUAI Hydrating Scalp Serum for Healthy, Fuller Looking Hair 2 oz / 60 mL shortly after getting back from NYC and I have to say that my hair has been missing it - I loved the volume, fullness it gave me. I was holding off on picking up a full size and trying a similar product from Act + Acre that I picked up as a gwp but now that I've put my thoughts here, I'm gonna need to run out and pick up a full size before the week is over. This is another gratis product (thank you @TeamBIC!) that has become a favorite.

Dolce&Gabbana Light Blue Eau de Toilette Spray is a warm weather favorite fragrance of mine (it's fresh, bright and clean) and thus far, I've been getting by on just deluxe samples. I really don't need another full size fragrance at the moment, but I suspect a full size of this one will be purchased either before the year is over or during the spring sale next year. 

My skin has responded well to many Vitamin C based products, including Sunday Riley C.E.O. Afterglow Brightening Vitamin C Moisturizer 1.7 oz/ 50 mL. The scent on this isn't my favorite, but it dissipates fairly quickly and the glow and moisture I get from this outweighs that. I want to work through a few more jars of another vitamin C moisturizer I love as well, but when that stash becomes a little more manageable, I'll add this Sunday Riley one to my stash of vitamin C moisturizers. 

Of the remaining 4 products, the tarte maracuja juicy lip plumping gloss is one I would happily use again if I had it in my collection. I could see myself repurchasing a few if I didn't already have so many similar type products. Everything else was fine - there are just other similar products I like more.
