@caitbird, oh, berry agua fresca sounds like it would have a nice balm flavor/scent. They should make that into one of their tinted balms as well.

Those pumpkins are perfect!! Great job @caitbird 

[caitbird]

@lmaster  thank you so much! 😊

@caitbird Wonderful empties. The pumpkin candles are beautiful! I am glad you are making use of them as decor! Lots of great empties in there! How long do you think it took you to use up the Summer Fridays lip balm?

[caitbird]

@Mellmars1185  thank you! 😊 It took me a while to use up the lip balm, I think I bought it last year sometime, but in fairness I was only using it occasionally for most of that time. It's only been over the last month or so that I was really focusing on using it up specifically. Sorry, that's probably not that helpful 😅

[Mellmars1185]

@caitbird Thanks for sharing. I was curious because I am almost at the end of a similar sized lippie (Olehenriksen). I am also focusing on finishing it up. I have definitely been using it for a few years now. I am looking to opening a Summer Friday up next. I have had it in my stash for a while now, but I haven't tried a SF lip balm yet.

[caitbird]

@Mellmars1185  how funny, I am the opposite - I have an Olehenriksen in my stash, but haven't tried it yet, but I have tried several of the Summer Fridays. How do you like the Olehenriksen lip balms? I really like the Summer Fridays, although this one (Birthday Cake) is not my favorite - it has kind of an unpleasant aftertaste, which I haven't noticed with the others so far.

[Mellmars1185]

@caitbird Oops! I completely forgot about the Birthday Cake one...that is the one I forgot I tried. I wasn't blown away by the scent. It wasn't the Birthday Cake I imagined. I have a different scented one that I got in an old Sephora Favorites set. I am looking forward to trying it 😊. I really love the formula of the Olehenriksen lip balm. I have been wearing it before bed. I find it to be very nourishing and not sticky at all.

@caitbird I used to own that Neutrogena!

[caitbird]

@greeneyedgirl107  it was SO old 😬😅

[greeneyedgirl107]

@caitbird I have no problem with that!  I honestly think products last for way longer than companies want you to think!

2025- 99/100 (oh so close!)

2025- 43 Destashes

Love-
* Illuminati Bath Bomb
* Be Bouncy, Skin!

Ok-
* Pacifica Acne Warrior Body Scrub- Seemed to work well enough but I got it at TJ Maxx. It was mostly liquid. Finally started to seperate so I hurried and finished it off.
* Verb Ghost Hair Mask Verb Ghost Weightless Hair Mask for Fine Hair 6.3 oz/ 180 g 
* Peaceful Time Eyemask- Love these but the scent is a bit strong.
* Banana Laffy Taffy Chapstick

N.O.-
*Cicapair Foaming Cleanser- Not a fan of gel to foam formula. Dr. Jart+ Cicapair™ Gentle Foam Cleanser for Sensitive Skin 5.07 oz / 150 mL 
* Vanilla Glitter Bomb- Used one last month, finished it off. Smelled great but didn't last. I did love that the glitter didn't actually stick but the gold was for initial show.
* Pure Smile Mask

De-stash-
* Foaming Sugar Scrub- I think it foamed once.
* Sephora Apple Cider Scrub. I used it for body scrub after work...accidently left the lid off so it dried out. 
* BBW London Tulips & Raspberry Tea Lotion- too strong scented
* JS Problematic- Dried out, bad smell.
* Tower 28 Bronzino  Tower 28 Beauty Bronzino Illuminating Cream Bronzer Sun Coast 
* lilah b.
* DE Body Lotion Drunk Elephant Sili™ Body Lotion 8.0 oz/ 240 mL   Smells horrible and dries my skin out, slight tingle burn.

Cute face mask! @Samtian 

[caitbird]

@Samtian  awesome job! You are about to hit that goal! 🎉

[Mellmars1185]

@Samtian Great work! So close to your goal 😊

[Samtian]

@Mellmars1185 Thank you!

@Samtian, nice work on your empties this month!

I miss having a tub when I see y'all with your bath bombs. Do you recall whether the Illuminati one had a good scent to it? Oh, I'm working on using up that Dr. Jart cleanser - I'll have to pay more attention to the foaming aspect on it now. 

[Samtian]

@itsfi It did have a great scent but ended up being wasted 😞 Love to hear your thoughts on the cleanser.

[itsfi]

@Samtian, the Dr. Jart Cicapair cleanser is one of the more foamy ones I've used - most of the gel cleansers I have lather up but not a ton. I like that it's gentle on my skin, but there are gel cleansers I prefer over this one, or over the one I have a deluxe sample of (which is the same as yours). All this being said, it looks as if Dr. Jart has, at the very least, repackaged this cleanser so that it is now available in a pump dispenser - the full size and it seems the deluxe sample size in the sampler kit. I haven't done a deep dive into the INCI lists for both to see if the product itself has been reformulated or if it's just the dispensing agent that has been changed. Even if it's the latter, the pump dispenser of the current product owuld mean that it will likely be foamier (is that a word?) than the version you and I have.

@itsfi I'm glad it works for you! Maybe mine was old. Pump sounds so nice.
