@lmaster awesome job! It's hard to declutter sometimes, even if it's for the best.

[lmaster]

Thank you ☺️ @makeitup305

@lmaster  Great job! I know how you feel with foundations. I’ve started to wait until I get through what I have before purchasing a new one! 

[lmaster]

Thank you! @ather I always was thinking, wow what if this foundation is better than what I'm using... That was my down fall

[ather]

@lmaster  I was doing the same thing. Or since I’m not close to a store guess my colour and was wrong. So I had so many extra foundations that didn’t work.

Excellent work @lmaster! I hear ya on that sponge tip component on the Maybelline. 🙄 That look-at-me watermelon sheet mask is such a good one - hydrating and refreshing! 🍉

[lmaster]

@itsfi it was a mess! I didn't mind it on the concealer, but the product was actually coming out from under it. Yes yes those watermelon masks are such a skin saver during the summer, thank you

[Samtian]

@lmaster Wow amazing job! Definitely tough on the declutters. 

[lmaster]

Thank you @Samtian I know for sure, and I have more, but these were definitely going, I'm not going to force myself to wear these anymore, life's too short 

[CookieGirl1]

You went through a lot of stuff, @lmaster.  Great job!

[lmaster]

Thank you! 😊 @CookieGirl1

@lmaster  great empties and declutters! I'm glad it seems like most of your empties in this batch were loves and likes, that is always awesome when that happens! Rhubarb and bamboo sounds like such an interesting fragrance combination, I'd love to try that one. And "I have one face" I can relate to that so much 🤣

[lmaster]

Thank you lovely!! @caitbird I will admit a few years ago, I would get fomo so easily, as I'm growing more wisdom 😂 my discipline is kicking in, I just hate wasting money!

[caitbird]

@lmaster  I admit, I get FOMO so easily 😅 but I try to stay strong because like you said, it's no good to waste so much money. It's definitely a work in progress for me but I am trying to be more mindful with my purchases!

@lmaster Great empties and destashes! The Pochacco mask is too cute! Great job on letting go of all of those foundations. I also need to pause purchasing new foundations. I always want to try the new releases 🤭

[lmaster]

Thank you sweets! @Mellmars1185 I do too, that is my problem 😂

August & September

Empties - 54 (with 27 being foils)

Destashes - 24

All items were great but the standouts are listed below:
The lavender espresso candle was a favourite - Inspired by @lmaster 
The Nécessaire The Body Wash Hinoki - Treatment Softening Cleanse with AHA/BHA/PHA + Resveratrol 8.4 oz was nice. It helped clear up the acne on my back
OLEHENRIKSEN Mini Truth Juice™ Daily Cleanser 2.0 oz/ 60 mL was a subscription *Thanks to @TeamBIC * I loved the scent and how my skin felt clean and nourished after using 

Spoiler

Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Mini Perfect Strokes Universal Volumizing Mascara Black is one of my favourite mascaras recently. It did not transfer and I really liked how the brush seperated my lashes
Charlotte Tilbury Mini Airbrush Flawless Hydrating & Waterproof Setting Spray 1.1 oz/ 34 ml - I was using this after cream/liquid makeup and before applying powders. I really like the scent. I have some other setting sprays that I want to tey before repurchasing.
Verb Moringa + Jojoba Hair Treatment Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL - It was good, but I think my favourite is still the Ouai hair oil

Not pictured Clarins Lip Comfort Hydrating Oil 04 Pitaya - sheer baby pink, pH reactive (mini)

I tried lots of foils thanks to the Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge . I ended up discovering some new loves. The Glossier Glossier You Eau de Parfum 1.7 oz / 50 mL eau de parfum spray sample smelled so good I ended up buying a full size. The travel size came in the Sephoria swag bag which I am grateful for ☺️

Spoiler

Above are destashes. The NYX primer did not impress me and I have other primers I prefer more. The lipsticks are all expired. The nail polish formula is passed its prime. The makeup brush bristles started coming loose. Thanks to the Capsule Challenge I was able to try out the concealers again and now know for sure they don't work for me. The PT eyebrow product dried out. The Marc Jacobs mascara was dried out when I opened it. The Nars mascara transfered on me in less than 2 hours with setting powder under my eyes and on my eyelids.

Last but not least, the empties that I used up at Sephoria! I was happy to be done with these to make room for new goodies. These were all loves.

Brava @Mellmars1185, brava!!! 👏 That first photo is sooooo satisfying to look at. All those hand soaps sound like they smell fabulous! I love that you finished up products during your trip to SEPHORiA! I'm trying not to get distracted by the Shani Darden cleansing serum ... 

[Mellmars1185]

@itsfi Thank you! I purposely brought almost empties on the trip, knowing it would help me make room for some new items! Have you tried the Shani Darden cleansing serum before? This was my first time trying it. I noticed I have a few samples in my stash. I like it so far but I still need to use it more to give feedback.

@Mellmars1185 Whoa amazing work!!! Love that made in Idaho sticker 😄 

[Mellmars1185]

@Samtian Thanks ! 😊
