Great work this month!

I haven't seen Sephora's Bubble Mask, I can't even say they sell it here @Samtian a big no go on that one? 

[Samtian]

@CynthieLu Thank you! I have no idea how old it was, but it was just pouring down my face getting everywhere lol. 

[CynthieLu]

Oooh gosh that's not a good time 😱 @Samtian

@Samtian, that "bubble" sheet mask predates my current system of tracking my sheet mask usage which means it's possibly 6+ years old. @CynthieLu 

@Shosh85 may have a better idea of exactly how old it is. My recollection, vague though it is on this, is that this range of sheet mask (they had a primer one and charcoal one - and one other one I think as well) is that these go back a ways. Maybe eve around the time that Sephora (and possibly MILK as well) had those stick masks, some with corresponding "flavors" - spirulina (blue), charcoal (black), maybe? 

[Samtian]

@itsfi @Shosh85 Dang long time ago. Looks like Sephora stopped selling this one maybe 2 years ago on the research I did. 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi @Samtian  I used this one when I first started saving my notes - back in Sept. of 2018 😅 Usually with the Sephora masks I use a website like "Check Fresh" to look up the expiration with the batch number that's on the back of the packaging.

[itsfi]

Okay @Samtian, so the "6+" is more on that "+" side 😂🤣😂 Whoo whee, 2018, @Shosh85?!! That's goes back a while, but then again, it makes sense, too. I don't have nearly as many sheet masks in my stash as before and I use what I have so most of my sheet masks are recent but I do come across one every so often where I think "oh, I haven't seen you in a while" - I'm going to remember that "Check Fresh" site for the sheets that don't have an expiration or manufacture date on the back.

@Samtian Great month for masking! I wish you safe travels in April!

[Samtian]

@Mellmars1185 Thank you!

And thus endeth March...

I wouldn't repurchase the Red Velvet Cake scent but everything else was fab.

The Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Rose Gold Eye Masks 6 x Eye Masks are great but everything else was "meh".

They were all fine.  That's it.

Both were great!

The JudyDoll eyeliner dried out SO fast, the Grande Tubing Mascara is a declutter (didn't like it), and I can't recommend the tarte maracuja juicy lip liner formula enough (one of my favorite lip liners!).

Loved both of the INNBEAUTY PROJECT Glaze Lip Oil scents/flavors (Cinnamon Bun and Pumpkin Spice Latte), Daukens Arome Strawberry Bake was a little too syrupy for me, and I've found a different nail base coat that I like better than this one.

@CookieGirl1, that Coffee House candle sounds like it would smell amazing! The company puts out some good candles.

Fabulous empties!! @CookieGirl1 

[caitbird]

@CookieGirl1  awesome job! You went through an impressive amount of products!

[ather]

@CookieGirl1  Great job! 

[CynthieLu]

You got through **a lot** @CookieGirl1 👏🥳

Ooouh Ouai's scalp serum didn't impress you?? Truth, I am hooked on that stuff. 

[CookieGirl1]

@CynthieLu it's Ok but I haven't noticed enough of an improvement or difference to get me excited.

[CynthieLu]

Ahhh, I get it. We want that wow factor early on. 😉 I hope you find a scalp serum that really impresses you @CookieGirl1 

[Mellmars1185]

@CookieGirl1 Marvellous March Empties! The Coffee House candle sounds like it smells comforting. Wow, you finished two InnBeauty glosses?!? Impressive! 

[Samtian]

@CookieGirl1 Fantastic job!

[CookieGirl1]

@Samtian thanks!

February and March Empties

Empties - 30 + 16 foils = 46

Destashes = 3

^ All loves and repurchases. I think I will be using the Garnier Micellar water as an eye makeup remover (and will stop purchasing the Neutrogena Eye Makeup remover). It seems to work a bit better.

^ Living Proof, FAB Cleanser are both repurchases and will continue to be. The Amika hair mask and Sephora Body Lotion were also loves but I will wait to repurchase while I work through my current stash to see if anything compares. I wasn't a huge fan of the Amika Clarifying Shampoo and Conditioner. The smell was not my favourite. The components are metal and tend to get rusty if left in the shower so I made sure to try to use them up as quickly as possible. The Shampoo was ok and lathered nicely but there are other clarifying shampoos that I like better. The conditioner left a cooling sensation, which I did no mind. I found the pump on these made it time consuming to get the product out.

^I really enjoyed everything from here. The only thing I would no repurchase are the Omy day moisturizer and the Laneige glowy serum. The Omy did not stand out but it smelled nice. As for the Laneige, I have other skincare that my makeup looks better on top of. It was just ok to me.

The Pattern oil was supposed to warm up...it did not work for me.

^ Destashes - The lip balm was expired and smelled off. The Anastasia Brow gel left my brows looking flakey. I am not a fan of the Fragrance. It gave me a headache, so it had to go.
