@itsfi excellent job

[itsfi]

@lmaster, thank you. It's still early in the year, but I'm noticing more tried-and-true product or ones I repurchase often being used up more so than new-to-me items. Either way, I'm just happy to be finishing things that have been open, yaaay!

[Samtian]

@itsfi Fantastic job! Yeah nothing beats those cottons!

[itsfi]

They're so good @Samtian but also 💸💸💸 - I've tried others but go back to these. I did hear about ones that are really similar to the Shiseido but half the price. I'll give them a try and report back. 

[Samtian]

@itsfi Ooh definitely report back! I want to try the Tatcha ones someday but I think they are the same price. 

[itsfi]

Will do! Oooh, I just looked up the Tatcha cottons. The Shiseido ones come with 65 more cottons than the Tatcha (though the Tatcha ones seem a little larger?). I'm feeling like I got a deal with the Shiseido now @Samtian. Hahahaha! When the city had a TJ Maxx / Marshalls and I caught sight of the Shiseido pads, I would stock up. 😅

@itsfi  Wow!! Great job!! 3 candles!!!! Wow! 😮 so many great products!! I haven’t tried the amika Dream Routine Overnight Hydrating Hair Mask 3.3 oz / 100 mL on a day that I didn’t wash my hair but I have been using it The night before wash night and seemed to keep my hair hydrated! When you used it was it just to heavy? I think I have a sample of the Kérastase Nutritive 8H Magic Night Hair Serum for Dry Hair 3.04 oz / 90 ml and I think I used it the same way. Maybe I need to try mid week. I wonder how it would work if I put it in then use my heat less curlers. 

[itsfi]

lol, that's funny, I saw I only went through 3 candles last month and thought "huh, only 3 candles?" 😅 I may have more at the end of this or next month. The climate here usually stays pretty moderate so there's usually at least one candle burning in the house from late October to late July / early August. 

The amika was alright; my recollection is that those with fine hair tended to like the results more when they applied it to damp or just slightly damp hair. I felt the same, but I prefer not to go to bed with my hair damp. Also, my hair wasn't as soft or smooth as when I use the Kerastase. I used both, the amika on one half (I used a water bottle to slightly dampen that half) and the Kerastase on the other (fully dry) on day 2 hair, which is usually when I would use the Kerastase, and the side with the Kerastase looked and felt better the next morning.

I'd be interested to hear how the amika performs for you with the heat-less curlers, @ather.

@itsfi  I think 3 is amazing! 🤩 I normally have candles from late August till may or June! But I have some I only burn a shlort period each season. Hmm maybe I’m slacking. I’ll do better! 

Hmm I’ll keep you posted. I’ll try it on a weekend so if it doesn’t work out I won’t have to rush.

January empties-

 ⬆️ Loves

 ⬆️ Likes but won’t repurchase.

 ⬆️ Disappointments. The Farmacy lip smoothie irritated my lips and the YTTP is typically a love but when I opened this package it wasn’t sealed correctly so it was dried out and I had it too lobotomy to be able to return or exchange it.

@faeriegirl Wonderful empties! Sorry to hear the last two items didn't work for you.

[lmaster]

Great job!! @faeriegirl you've done amazing 

[CorgiMommy]

@faeriegirl i hate when that happens with a product.   You purchase it as a backup and then it leaks or just goes bad.  

I too love the Tatcha The Rice Polish Foaming Enzyme Powder Classic .

Great job using all your products!

[Samtian]

@faeriegirl Great work! Sorry about those two.

January Empties = 15

Destashes = 11

^ All loves 

^ Foot peel and Sephora masks are loves. The Inc. Patches were good but took me to forever to use so they may have been past their prime. They also left sparkles under my eyes.

^ The Bb Thickening spray and Caliray mascara were repurchases. Loved the Elf Wow Brow, Living Proof Detox Shampoo and the Laneige mask. The Herbivore body oil was on my 2024 pan it project. I think it went bad but I finished it!

^ All destashes. The Milk Makeup were expired and dried up. Sadly, the Haus Labs eyeliner dried up. I have not had it long. The rest I tried but did not like/use.

[Samtian]

@Mellmars1185 Ooh great job! 

[Mellmars1185]

@Samtian Thank you!

[CorgiMommy]

@Mellmars1185 that us unfortunate that those products went bad before you could use them up.  Great job shopping your stash.

[Mellmars1185]

@CorgiMommy Thank you so much!
