Leaves is one of my fave candles from B&BW; I can imagine how good the soap must smell too @Samtian. Cozy, comfy fall weather is just ahead … oh wait, it’s here in SF now, lol. Love that Farmacy Honey Halo! 

[Samtian]

@itsfi I'll have to check out the candle...next year lol I need room first.

@Samtian aren't you glad fall scents are almost back at B&BW? I get most of my yearly products during the fall. I don't really like their spring and summer scents but their fall scents are some of the best.

[Samtian]

@makeitup305 My wallet isn't haha! Spring and summer are such hit and miss. Fall is always good!

[Mellmars1185]

@Samtian Right on! I also love the scent Leaves from B&BW. It reminds me of Fall and it is such a clean, comforting scent. How do you use the DM universal? I have not tried mine yet.  Great declutter!

[Samtian]

@Mellmars1185 Thank you! I don't know if any scent can top that one for me ha! As for the DM I use it to control the oil on my face. The shaded and universal for me don't work with foundation or as foundation, so I just use it to mattify my face and it does amazing lasting during my job. 

[Mellmars1185]

@Samtian Thanks for sharing! That is a great idea. My oily skin can always use some mattifying.

Good job!! The apple lip mask sounds delicious @Samtian 

[Samtian]

@lmaster I really enjoyed it.

Probably about 2 months' worth of empties. 

Loves

• L'Oreal Panorama Mascara- great for volume without getting clumpy
• Unleashia Brow Pomade- the white tube, my favorite clear brow gel maybe ever
• espoir Brow Pencil- slanted tip, perfect texture for filling brows quickly

Skip

• Heimish Mascara- flaked and irritated my eyes

Loves

• dae Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream Original - I got this from @TeamBIC last year and it's a love. Once I work through what I have, I might pick it up again
• Bondi Boost Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner- my boyfriend is the one that used these up. He's on his second or third set. He has fine, oily hair and it says it makes his hair "floofy".

Just ok

• Drybar Prep Rally Prime & Prep Detangler - there's other products I like more
• 7Headspa No Wash Shampoo- high alcohol content. Nice for a refreshing feeling, probably great for after a workout when you don't have a chance to wash your hair but want it not to smell. Doesn't really help with greasiness.
• Davines LOVE Smoothing Shampoo for Frizzy Hair - this one is nice just a little too heavy for my hair. 

Loves

• BBW Snowflakes & Cashmere is one of my favorite scents. I have a backup in my shower already. Not hydrating at all but the smell makes it worth it. This had been used up and refilled with Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Play Moisturizing Shower Cream-Gel , which I also love.

Just Ok

• Aestura Body Cream- it's not cheap and Cerave works better for me.

Loves and would repurchase (all except the Anua Pads, which were just ok).

@makeitup305, curious to know what the B&BW Snowflakes and Cashmere smells like; this is the first I think I’ve heard of it (not surprising as it’s been a while since I’ve been in a B&BW store).

[makeitup305]

they had it last year but idk if they had it the year before @itsfi it gives me Maison Margiella By the Fireplace vibes. Not the same but that sort of warm, marshmallow cozy smell with a hint of spice. I hope they bring it back this year, I'm almost out of my backup.

[Mellmars1185]

@makeitup305 Fabulous work! I just opened the L'Oreal Panorama mascara today and used it for the first time! I am glad to hear you loved it. I am wondering if it transfers at all. I noticed minimal smudging on my oily skin. How do you use the Dae? On wet or dry hair??

[makeitup305]

@Mellmars1185 I usually use it on unset eyes and don't really have any issues but my skin is dry and so is the climate. I prefer the mascara after it dries out a little. I hope it's working out for you! 

The Dae I use on wet hair after my leave in. I felt like it left my hair really soft. It doesn't really give shape, though.

[Mellmars1185]

@makeitup305 Thanks for the feedback! I have been enjoying the mascara. I have been using it for a few weeks now and it doesn't transfer on me. It is a bit difficult to remove (which is not the worse thing). Except my under eyes are a bit sensitive atm due to a mask mishap lol. I will try the Dae soon with your method! 

[makeitup305]

@Mellmars1185 I don't remember having issues taking it off. Have you tried just warm water and a warm cloth? I feel like it was similar to a tubing mascara.

[Mellmars1185]

@makeitup305 I have changed my method of removing it. Now I use a cleansing balm and warm water. It seems to be working better than the micellar water. It is interesting how different mascaras need a different approach with removal!

[lmaster]

Fabulous empties! @makeitup305 good to know about the mascara

[Samtian]

@makeitup305 Whoo great job! That dae is good!

[makeitup305]

@Samtian yes, it leaves my hair super soft.
