@Samtian Great work! How long did it take you to finish the Trix lipchap? Great job decluttering and great start to the year!

[Samtian]

@Mellmars1185 Thank you! It took less than half a month. 

[CookieGirl1]

Starting the year off strong!

Paris Cafe was a nice reliably strong coffee scent while Winter smelled divine but had a poor throw.

Spoiler

Liked them all!

Spoiler

Eh.  I can pass on them all.

Spoiler

All winners!  I probably wouldn't go out of my way to purchase the Clinique toner in a FS but I loved all of them.

Spoiler

No strong feelings about any of it.

Pass, wouldn't repurchase.

@CookieGirl1  Great job!

Fabulous job!! @CookieGirl1 

[Mellmars1185]

@CookieGirl1 Great start indeed! The Paris Cafe sounds lovely. I love the name of the B&BW soap! COSRX is definitely a product I want to try more of. It is good to know you like it! 

[Samtian]

@CookieGirl1 Wow strong indeed!

[makeitup305]

@CookieGirl1 Nicely done! I've got that COSRx product in my skincare drawer, I need to pull it out soon.

[CorgiMommy]

@CookieGirl1 wow you made it through so much stuff, great job and like you said great way to start the year!

A month or two of empties and declutters.

Empties

I liked these but idk if enough to repurchase.

 

I really liked all the K-beauty and would repurchase. The Mediheal, Curel, Tocobo, and RoundLab I've used up more than once. The black dropper is the CosRX 0.5 Retinol which was good but not a love. The Naturium was unfortunately expired once I went to try it. It's been sitting in my skincare backups for a while, so that's on me. I wish US products had an expiration date on the box/product like Korean stuff does.

Declutters

The blushes were dried out, I hated this shade of the Milani liquid lip although I loved the other two shades they came out with in this sparkly formula. The Rom&nd brow was good for a softer brow but I prefer something with more hold. The eyeliner fell out but it's a great formula for the price. I hate the smell of the Espoir lippie but love the color, which is a shame. The L'Oreal was super expired (although it didn't smell like it, it actually had 2022 as the expiry date, oops). It's a really good product and I would repurchase.

 

I said goodby to my Viseart shadows. These were super old (I depotted them manually since they were from the non-magnetic packaging) and I just didn't reach for them.

[ather]

@makeitup305  So sad the eyeshadow was expired! I wish they lasted longer!  Great job. 

[makeitup305]

@ather I don't think the shadow was expired, I didn't really have any issues with it. However, it's probably about 10 years old regardless. These came in the old acrylic packaging that wasn't magnetic, which is the original packaging they had way back when. I depotted them to try and use them more but didn't really.

Fantastic job!! @makeitup305 

[makeitup305]

thanks @lmaster !

[Mellmars1185]

@makeitup305 Amazing work. Was it hard to say goodbye to the Viseart? I find it really hard to declutter large items.

[makeitup305]

@Mellmars1185 I've been holding on to them for so long, it was time. I just decluttered the other palettes I had. I never consistently used them tbh, which hurts considering the price tag. While the formula was very good, I go for palettes where the shimmers or sparkles stand out and these just didn't have that. All that said, I bought them when they first became popular on YouTube and were sold at Muse Beauty Pro so it's probably been like a decade at this point lol 

[Samtian]

@makeitup305 Wow you did amazing tossing those out!

[makeitup305]

@CookieGirl1 It's a good alternative to a simple hyaluronic acid serum imo. I would buy it over a HA serum, which I usually feel like don't do anything. I do think my skin is softer and it's been well hydrated while using it, but it's not something I would buy for the anti-aging properties. It would be perfect for someone in their early 20's or even someone just getting into skincare. I haven't tried anything else from the line yet, either, but I have one of their toners in my skincare drawer waiting to be used.
