Dislike -I love Pat McGrath shadows and lip products but this mascara just wasn't for me,no matter what I did I ended up with black under my eyes within a couple hours.

Interesting about the pmg mascara @Seymore3 I have yet to try it, but I have it unopened

[blackkitty2014]

Omg that’s impressive @Seymore3

I haven’t had much me time lately. Here are my empties for the last few months. Not shown is PTR Irish Mud Moor Cleanser which was ok and Bosnia Charcoal Cleanser which I loved. It warmed up as you lathered. I only disliked one product a lot this time. The Dermalogica cleanser. I couldn’t stand the thin and slimy texture.

Oooh, I spy some bubble t boy washes @emaisgr8! They smell so good! 😃 

[lmaster]

Oh how I miss those frudia and papa recipe masks @emaisgr8

My November empties. 

Loved: Sol De Janeiro body wash, I love the scent of all the SDJ products!! The body wash is creamy and the scent is long lasting. Clairol travel sized hairspray; I believe Sally Beauty discontinued these, I bought as many as I could when they were on clearance. Nice hold, not overly sticky, and smells great! Love having one in my purse. Bath & Body Works Caramel Pumpkin Swirl candle, smells so good, and has a strong throw too. Bath & Body Works Twisted Peppermint Pocketbac Sanitizer, smells good and been using a lot of sanitizer in 2020, BBW’s is a great formula. 

Meh: Lancôme Defincils mascara, just alright. Many other mascaras I prefer. Amika The Shield heat protectant and anti humidity hairspray. Smells super strong, and didn’t notice a difference in humidity resistance. I have other heat protectants and hairsprays I like much better. Farmacy Daily Greens moisturizer, didn’t like the scent of this at all. And even though it claims to be pore clearing and good for oily skin I didn’t notice much of a difference between any other moisturizer 🤷🏻‍♀️ And lastly, Clinique acne solutions spot treatment, I found this worked really well at first but after a while it stopped working.

That B&BW candle sounds like it smells amazing @samkeaysxo! 😍 

[lmaster]

Couldn't agree more @samkeaysxo the farmacy moisturizer 😣 I wanted to like it so bad,,, but the scent was too much,,, and I felt it didn't absorb very well, I always felt tacky if I didn't apply sunscreen or makeup

[lnum]

This year has taught me to simplify my routine greatly so I have been focused on using up all my full-size products, which takes time! 

 

Spoiler

Regular restocks/HG: Briogeo, Belif cleanser, Tatcha sunscreen

OK:
Skinfix (better handcreams out there)
The Ordinary (I think my skin responds better to the Inkey List and TO products tend to break me out. I had really great results with this product but I don’t think I will repurchase in favor of The Inkey List product instead)
Green Tea Mask (These were gifted me as a 10 pack and they’re nice but I wouldn’t repurchase on my own, I prefer Sephora’s Green Tea mask)

[CookieGirl1]

Finally!  Dumping my trash.

Liked all of these.

With the exception of the Belif Moisture Bomb and the Timeless Vitamin C serum, these were all winners.

Meh.

[lmaster]

I love the banana scents from bbw!! @CookieGirl1 I had a foaming soap that was banana scented,,,ahhhhhhh!!! When it comes back,, I'm stocking up

[CookieGirl1]

@lmaster I have an embarrassing amount of backups of that candle, LOL. It's definitely one of my all-time favorites!

August Empties (Body Care)

Body Care Empties

Spoiler

Aveeno Repairing Cica Foot  Mask

Results - Soft, baby smooth feet Aroma - None; Fragrance Free Texture - Plastic serum-line booties Expense - $3.99; Despite the struggle getting these on, I would still repurchase because my feet felt AMAZING!

Coola Classic Body Sunscreen SPF 50 (Guava Mango)

Results - Mixes well with my moisturizers, absorbs quickly, and leaves the skin looking glowy Aroma - Fruity and tropical Texture - Looks and feels like a body lotion Expense - $32 5.0 oz; I used my FSA funds to buy this sunscreen, so I’m not really concerned about the price. However, this is not replacing my Supergoop! Everyday Sunscreen any time soon. 

Coola Classic Body Sunscreen SPF 30 (Unscented)

Results - Works well for getting sun protection on hard to reach areas and reapplying throughout the day. Aroma - None Texture - Light, barely there mist Expense - $10 2.0 fl oz; I bought this for $5 at Nordstrom Rack, so I would definitely repurchase at that price. This would work nicely for reapplying sunscreen on the go, but you’ll go through it very quickly.

Dove Shea Butter Dry Spray

Results - Dry armpits with no white residue Aroma - Smells like the Dove Shea Butter Body Wash Texture - Airy mist Expense - $5-$8 3.8 oz; The price I pay depends on sales and coupons, but I love it so much that it doesn’t really matter. This is my favorite deodorant!

Hempz Original Herbal Body Moisturizer

Results - Absorbs quickly and makes skin feel nourished Aroma - Kind of nutty and earthy, but also a little citrusy. It’s not too strong, and it doesn’t linger. Texture - Thick and creamy Expense - $23 17 oz; I received this as a gift with purchase from Ulta, but I would absolutely purchase this again to use after washing my hands because it lasted forever!

Maison Margiela Replica Jazz Club Eau de Toilette

Results - Feels light on the skin, but heavy in the nostrils Aroma - Pure cheap musk Texture - Light spray Expense - $130 3.4 oz; YUCK! This will never become part of my fragrance collection. Sometimes I enjoy a men’s fragrance, but this was not one of them

Schick Intuition Pure Nourishment Coconut Milk & Almond Oil Cartridges

Results - I use this along with the Tree Hut Shaving Oil, and my legs feel incredibly soft and smooth. Aroma - Nutty Texture - Creamy Expense - $16.99 3 cartridges; I already have a new pack in the stash. 

Soap & Glory Magnificoco A Cream Come True Luminous Body Butter

Results - Made my skin sparkle like a Twilight vampire Aroma - Sweet plastic smell; Doesn’t have the signature Magnificoco scent Texture - Thick cream Expense - $15 10.1 oz; I love the sparkle this gives, but it’s white based, so sometimes it makes my skin look a little ashy. I’m up in the air about whether I would repurchase it.

Sol de Janeiro Glowmotions Copacabana Bronze Glow Oil

Results - Mixes well with my moisturizer and leaves me with sparkly skin. I didn’t notice any transfer to the clothes. Aroma - Something slightly sweet, but not that signature SDL scent Texture - Liquidy dry oil Expense - $35 2.5 oz; I bought this for $25, and I think that’s a really good price for it. I might repurchase during a sale depending on my experience with other Glow Oils. 

Tree Hut Bohemian Escape Shea Sugar Scrub

Results - Super smooth skin! Aroma - Tropical citrus Texture - Fine emollient sugar grains Expense - $8.99 18 oz; Tree Hut makes the best body scrub I’ve ever tried, and it’s almost always on sale at Ulta. It’s a win-win situation!

Viktor & Rolf BONBON Eau de Parfum

Results - The bottle didn’t have a sprayer, so it was always difficult to apply. When I was able to get out enough product, I absolutely loved this light sweet scent during the spring and summer. Aroma - Sweet, Candy, Floral Texture - Expense - $68 1.0 oz; I like the scent. I’m planning to get this the next time I cash in my Ulta points. 

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum

Results - Unique floral scent that lasts for HOURS! Aroma - Warm, Sensual Floral Texture - Medium to heavy fragrance Expense - $85 1.0 oz; I have loved this fragrance from first sniff! It’s one of the best floral scents I’ve ever used, and I usually hate floral fragrances. I currently have the Petite Flowerbomb in my fragrance collection.

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Midnight Eau de Parfum 

Results - The scent is a darker version of Flowerbomb, but the scent fades so quickly that in the end it’s forgettable. Aroma - Warm, musky floral Texture - Very light Expense - $85 1.0 oz; Despite the HG status of the original Flowerbomb, Midnight is lacking in the scent department. For $85, I would rather buy the original fragrance.

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum

Results - The longevity can be hit or miss. Sometimes, it lasts all day. Sometimes, it only lasts a few hours. Aroma - Warm, Spicy Texture - Medium-body scent that is great for fall and winter Expense - $76 1.0 oz; I really like this fragrance, but it’s not a fragrance I would immediately repurchase.

Couldn't agree more about the replica 😝 @sephoraaddict918 

[itsfi]
