@peculiarzmakeup, I can get so fixed on using a certain tool (brush, beauty sponge, fingers) that I forget other ones, but it's something I'm trying to work on more as I'm going through my foundation and skin tints. It's great to have a good mix to pull from - some products work better with one type of tool than others. The Sonia Kashuk blender sponge is a good one - not too soft, not too firm.

I so am with you on some products working better with different formulas then others! This looks amazing Im looking forward to trying something new 🙂 @itsfi 

[CorgiMommy]

@itsfi I am always so impressed with your beauty collection and your dedication to giving detailed information on each product.  Thank you!

[itsfi]

@CorgiMommy, thank you. I spend a good amount of time on trying to get my thoughts together on a product; appreciate the feedback. Since making more of an effort to be more attentive to my beauty buys and using the beauties I do have, it's been a lot of fun to see the products I do have in action a lot more - and to see them used up.

Impressive work, @itsfi ! Loved your detailed assessments of each product. I might try one of those candles.

[itsfi]

Thank you @Mel231; working through what I had last year really helped with no / low buys and gave me a better idea of which products I really enjoy using and which ones are just okay or good, but not great. Ahhh, I love candles. Was there one in particular that caught your eye?

[Mel231]

@itsfi Definitely the VOLUSPA Sparkling Cuvee Glass Jar Candle 18 oz / 510 g .

[itsfi]

Ohhh, that's a good one @Mel231; a scent I pick up at least once every year.

@itsfi Great year of empties and declutters! Congratulations on getting through some items in the pan it challenge! Do you use the blender sponge dry or wet (or both)? 

[itsfi]

@Mellmars1185, last year was a good pan year; hoping for another good year this year 🤞 but that will mean making progress on pan products and not necessarily hitting pan. All good; most of the products are new or lightly used going into the year so I don't expect any full pan on those items. 

I use the blender sponge wet and dry but last year, I mainly used setting sprays so the beauty sponge was primarily used with liquid foundation.

Last empties of 2024!

 ⬆️ All loves and would repurchase!

 ⬆️ Good but won’t repurchase.

 ⬆️ Foot mask was ok but not moisturizing enough. I didn’t like the scent of the Fresh cleanser. Color wow is good but sticky. Laneige eye mask felt weird and didn’t absorb well for me. The TJ body butter scent was terrible.

[lmaster]

Great job!! @faeriegirl 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Amazing job with your empties these month it’s always nice to see so many loves, sorry to hear about the TJ scent but hopefully there will be an even better one waiting for you 🙂 @faeriegirl 

[CorgiMommy]

Wow, now that is an impressive number of empties!  I didn't try the TJ candy cane body butter but I did like their scrub, felt very festive for the holidays. @faeriegirl 

[faeriegirl]

@CorgiMommy  I really like the scrub but the body butter was so disappointing.

[Mellmars1185]

@faeriegirl Amazing empties to finish off the year! You went through a lot of masks. Your skin must be very happy!

⬆️ this was another hard declutter sesh. It kills me to get rid of pmg palettes, but they were not ones I used much and are taking up space

[CorgiMommy]

@lmaster great job making it through your stash.  I declutteted a lot last year too.  It is hard but so satisfying when it is done. I haven't missed a thing.  Hope you fell the same way.

[lmaster]

Thank you dearly @CorgiMommy it does feel good to let go.  I like creating colorful looks,  but some shades are old and do not perform well anymore

[Mellmars1185]

@lmaster Amazing work! The Rose Petal Ice Cream candle has my attention! You should be proud of your declutter. I know it was probably really hard. Great end to the year.

[lmaster]

@Mellmars1185 thank you,  yes I'm proud of getting things decluttered. The candle is so beautiful and smells amazing
