Good to know your thoughts! @faeriegirl great job

I completely forgot this one but it deserves its own separate post. 

Thank you again to @TeamBIC for the wonderful and generous Holiday Gratis. My wife wanted to treat herself to a mask day last night and picked SEPHORA COLLECTION Clean Face Mask Grapefruit out of the entire collection of masks that we have. She thoroughly enjoyed that one! It was hydrating and the living room smelled of grapefruit! It was a bit big for her so she cut some strategic slits in it so it would lie flatter on her face.

It's a goodie! @JoSometimes

@lmaster Ny wife certainly enjoyed it. I might have to go get myself one next time.

A few full sized products to start off the new year. Some were actually finished before the new year.

Hadolabo Goku Jyun Lotion
A great J-Beauty “dupe” of The INKEY List Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Hydrating Face Serum. I put dupe in quotation marks because the ingredients lists share a few items but there are also some big differences. I have something in mind to try soon but I’ll definitely repurchase in the future. 

LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask with Squalane 2.3 oz/ 70 mL 
This one was fantastic for late night hydration. I can get away with delaying my morning skincare routine if I use this the night before. I have something else I’m currently using and a few sample pots of this, so it’ll be some time before I repurchase. 

Equate Moisturizing Lotion
A dupe of Cerave’s moisturizing lotion. I feel like I just bought this and it’s already done! I will repurchase in the future though.

SEPHORA COLLECTION Intense Felt-Tip Liquid Waterproof Eyeliner 02 - Satin Chocolate Brown 
I love felt-tip and brush-tip liners in general. I have other ones that I prefer more but I wouldn’t mind repurchasing if I ever needed to. 

Origins Plantscription™ Multi-Powered Youth Serum 
A pleasant serum. I need more time with it to form a better opinion. The price is up there though, so I’m not sure I’d go for it.

The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Lash and Brow Serum 
I tried this one and then kinda used it inconsistently. I believe it’s expiration date is past due hence the destash. I want to give it a proper try again some day.

White Conc Body CC Cream
I bought this mainly for the Vitamin C content when I had a massive flare up all over my body last summer. It smelled pleasant and had a shimmery effect but also a whitening effect. My skin is nowhere near fair enough for this, especially since I was using it in the summer time. I haven’t touched it in forever, so it’s just collecting dust.

@JoSometimes Great work!!

[JoSometimes]

Thank you @Samtian! 😊

[makeitup305]

Great job @JoSometimes I've tried some Hada Labo stuff before and enjoyed it. Good to know about this one!

[JoSometimes]

@makeitup305 They recently released a North American line. I haven’t looked too much into it but it should be easier to find now. 

[makeitup305]

@JoSometimes a Teso just opened up near me and they had the entire skincare lines of brands I didn't know and some I recognized (like Hada Labo). I wanted everything! 

[JoSometimes]

@makeitup305 I love browsing through those kinds of stores! They have all kinds of hidden treasures if you’re willing to take a chance (or use google translate on everything)

[makeitup305]

@JoSometimes I need to take pictures, go home and research, then come back and pick it up in person. The markup wasn't bad either. I saw the Canmake Munyutto Highlighter (they had testers!) and they were sold out so I got it off of Amazon because it was just too stunning. They also had some Judydoll and few other makeup brands that I recognized as well. We ended up buying snacks mostly. If I wasn't on a no-buy I'd be running rampant in the beauty and skincare section lol

[JoSometimes]

You are so strong @makeitup305! I would have caved so quickly…

[makeitup305]

@JoSometimes a true pillar of self-control lol

[lmaster]

Nice job!! @JoSometimes 

[JoSometimes]

Thank you @lmaster!

[CynthieLu]

Aaah LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask with Squalane 2.3 oz/ 70 mL is just so good. 💙⭐

I have other night moisturizers atm but I would snap that one up again in a heart beat too. I'm so glad it's been good to you. @JoSometimes 

[JoSometimes]

@CynthieLu I forgot to apply some one night during the holiday season and woke up the next day just crazy dry. I had to jump in the shower immediately to refresh my skin. It made a big difference. 

[Mellmars1185]

@JoSometimes Great empties! You have finished a lot of full size items. Great job at staying hydrated this winter!

[JoSometimes]

Thank you @Mellmars1185! My skin has had some roughness here and there but overall it hasn’t been too bad. It’s been it worse shape before.
