Well you did hit pan in one blush even before they start to turn so I still call it a success @CookieGirl1 👍 Great jobs

[CookieGirl1]

@blackkitty2014 thanks!  Both blushes definitely got quite a bit of love so I'm not too mad about parting with them at this point.

I usually collect all my empties in a big bag until I have a decent batch and then pull them out to take a quick picture for this thread, before finally consigning them to beauty product heaven 😂 It's been a while since the last time, so these empties are from the last few months (ish). I will try to go left to right - ETA my thoughts are under a spoiler bc this got long 😅

Ulta big shower gel was part of a free GWP and took me forever to get through. I did like it, but unfortunately this particular scent (something sparkling berry, I think??) seems to be discontinued or LE, and none of the others they have available appealed to me. It did get me into using shower gels, though. Little Body Shop shower gel was a million years old, I stumbled upon it stashed away and finally used it up. Still smelled good but not my favorite. Glossier Lash Slick Lift and Lengthen Tubing Mascara  is one of my faves, specifically for a more natural or no-makeup look. I also sometimes will use it on my lower lashes even when using another mascara on my top lashes, as it's one of the only mascaras I've tried that doesn't smudge under my eyes. I got a fairly good use out of it before going to use it recently and it was all dried up 😭 Fortunately I already had a replacement in the wings. Finally finished The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Hydrating Serum with Ceramides  which was one of my first skincare purchases back in the day. I like it, and have the jumbo size to work my way through next. However, I think after that I'll try sticking with serums that combine HA with other benefits, to try and simplify my routine a little bit. Various moisturizer minis ranging from Glow Recipe Mini Plum Plump Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer .68 oz / 20 mL & Youth To The People Mini Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream with Ashwagandha + Reishi 0.5 oz/ 15 mL  & Herbivore Aquarius Pore Purifying BHA Cream 1.7oz/50ml (all nice, but I have others I like better) to Glossier Priming Moisturizer Rich Face Cream with Ceramides 1.7 oz / 50 mL  (not for me, the lavender scent is overpowering). Burt's Bees lip shimmer is a longtime favorite, and watermelon is one of my favorite colors. I need to pick up a replacement. Glossier You deodorant is my favorite ever - I love the scent, and it lasts all day for me. I just bought 3 more. Crystal lavender deo is my other go-to, which has the benefit of being cheaper. amika Mini Perk Up Talc-Free Dry Shampoo 1.8 oz / 44.36 mL was part of a Sephora sampler set I think? It worked fine, but was more strongly scented than I prefer and didn't last long, even for its size. Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo was a free GWP (or maybe a birthday gift?) from Ulta, and again was way too strongly scented for my taste. I will be sticking with Living Proof Perfect hair Day (PhD) Dry Shampoo  which is my 🐐 (to borrow from @itsfi ). Living Proof Full Conditioner 24 oz/ 710 mL and R+Co Biotin Shampoo were both fine, but I still haven't found my go-to shampoo and conditioner. R+Co detangling spray works fine, but I find I need to use a lot of it each use (granted, my hair is very long) - I am already nearly done with a second one. I think I will try a leave in conditioner next. Speaking of, L'Oreal Elvive leave in conditioner was ancient - I have no idea if they even still make that one, that's how long ago I bought it - but still worked okay. 

I swear I didn't mean to write that much 😅 If you read through that whole thing, you get a virtual 🍪!

Wow, look at all those empties - excellent work @caitbird! It's always great to find a 🐐 product - scent definitely can be a dealbreaker when it comes to dry shampoo; glad you found one that you love. Appreciate your thoughts on what worked and didn't for you.

@Shosh85 Excellent empties! How do you use the Saie?

[Shosh85]

@Mellmars1185  I like to mix it with either my moisturizer or foundation. It adds such a pretty dewy glow!

[CorgiMommy]
