Yes, yes @caitbird! Always a good thing when there's more hits than misses. Well, except that it means more potential items to repurchase, which isn't always a good thing. 💸💸😂 There were more newer-to-me products in this batch so it was nice to see that there were a good number of winners in the mix. 

It was a bummer, that YSL fragrance. I don't need another perfume so it's fine that it didn't work out, that's how I console myself - and looking at my bin of perfume discovery sets waiting be tested. ha! It was also a good reminder in more ways than one that just because something sounds like it would be a good fit doesn't always mean it will be. It was definitely one of those things that went from an "Ohhhh!" to an "Oh, noooo!" 🤣

Ahhhh, thank you, thank you! 🤗 That's always nice to hear; appreciate that a lot. I used to save up all my empties and lay them out by the category but it got too onerous for me to do the write ups all at once (and prioritizing sleep has been a big one when it comes to self-care for me) so doing it weekly-ish 😉 usually around the day I put things out for recyling works better and it's easier to remember what I thought about the products. It's also as you said a quick and fun way to see if something is generally a yay or nay.

These were August Empties but somehow September snuck in and I didn't get around to posting them until now.  Whoops.

@CookieGirl1, did you notice a difference between (or have a preference for) the day vs. night versions of the Treecell collagen shampoos?

[CookieGirl1]

@itsfi I didn't really love either of them but the night version is definitely a little more clarifying than the day version.

@CookieGirl1 Great empties! Lots of wonderful skincare. Didn't August just fly by?!?

[lmaster]

I'm always impressed with your makeup empties! @CookieGirl1 

[CookieGirl1]

@lmaster thanks, girlie!

@CookieGirl1 Whooo amazing!!!

[greeneyedgirl107]

@CookieGirl1 am I mistaken, or have you used Goose Creek candles?  If you have, I'd like to hear your thoughts.   I'm thinking about getting some for my sister. 

[CookieGirl1]

@greeneyedgirl107 overall I like Goose Creek.  Some of their candles are duds but that can be said from any brand and there are several that I really like.  I'm definitely impressed by their longevity--their candles normally last about twice as long as a BBW candle--and they have an awesome satisfaction guarantee if you get a candle and feel underwhelmed by its performance.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@CookieGirl1 thank you for the information!  It's a moot point now because I just found out they don't ship to FPO.   Do they ever offer free shipping codes?  $100 for free shipping is high.

[CookieGirl1]

@greeneyedgirl107 I don't typically see free shipping codes from them, unfortunately.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@CookieGirl1 thank you for the information! What a shame!  I can't stand paying for shipping!

[CookieGirl1]

@greeneyedgirl107 I totally get it.  Me too!

@CookieGirl1  Wow!! Great job!!!! 

[CookieGirl1]

@ather thanks!

@alessandra12356 Oh my gosh!  I'm always so impressed when anyone gets through a Rare Beauty blush!!  So great you found some true loves in this batch!

[Mellmars1185]

@alessandra12356 Amazing empties! It is very impressive that you got through a mini of the Rare Beauty Blush. I have yet to finish one. A little goes a long way! I am sorry to hear the highlighter broke on you. Do you know what highlighter you want to try next?

[lmaster]

Great job! @alessandra12356
