Sephora

Lol @itsfi It never has to be quick.... we can wander that store for hours! Very kind of you to treat your friends to a little something something! We love when we have friends to do swatch lines with!

@itsfi I realized over the holidays that I can very easily get too wrapped up in things that are going on and not be present enough or checking in with others enough. Right now I'm having to be very purposeful with them, but I'm hoping it can change to a habit. I enjoy that some of the squares on bingo are often repeats as it's giving me a chance to try and build some of those habits over time. I tend to enjoy mysteries or cheesy romance type novels when I have an opportunity to read. I call them beach reads, nothing too serious or deep. Something you can read on the beach and not have to put too much thought into. I've very open to suggestions on apps to download and those to avoid!

@nuinui933, yeah, I was bummed about it; I had high hopes for it. I have another version and am hoping that will work for me. 🤞 Do you have a favoriite or go-to liquid liner?

See, I thought so too but I went to get coffee and when I got back to edit the post (to tag the blush after checking the shade) it wasn't there? So I just put it up again, tagged the blush and then was able to tag another product that didn't show up the last time. I dunno @missjeanie, I'll just go with it. Yeah, these bins have worked wonders!!! Having a bunch of makeup items to rotate through during the month has proven better / easier for me than I thought and this bin is the best way to keep it all together when I have a mix of brands, which will be the majority of the time. I'll have try to remember to keep an eye out for when these bins go on sale - $1 is tough to beat for something so functional.

I did my foundation and concealer categories last night/this morning. While this is too many for me, I do appreciate that now I know which ones I'm going to work on in my project pan as I use a few up. There were quite a few foundation products that were near empty so I should be able to reduce this this stash by at least 5 this year, if not 8. I'm not letting myself buy foundation this year! I'd love to end up with a stash that is around 10. Concealers I'm going to try to aim for that long term as well. Those goals won't happen this year but it'll be something to work towards.

SpoilerSpoilerThese are all much easier to mark and see progress. -BB Hairdressers Oil Fragrance-- I normally prefer to just wear whichever fragrance I choose that day, but I'm going to treat this as any other body spray. I've used it a handful of times and will try to do so more often so that I can see I'm on track to finish the bottle by years end. I know that since it's out and in my line of sight there's a better chance of this.-JVN Air Dry Cream. This is okay... I think I prefer the BB cream to make my ahir just a bit softer, as it's less finicky to use as well. I have to be careful with the JVN not to apply too much. That said, I made great progress this month and hope to finish it off in February.-Thayers Milky Toner. I swear this suds up when I apply it. -Tower 28 Tinted SPF. I thought I'd have this done in January as a gimmie product but I took the month to finish off a different base product. I have already noticed that I need to bend the tube to get product out so I'm guessing it won't be long before I cut into the tube. This also expired in December of 2025 so it's no longer used as an SPF, but just a tinted base.

I did use this a few times, but I'm just horrible for remembering to use an eye cream. -Skylar mini fragrance. This is about half the size of a travel size fragrance. I should be able to get through it, but I just wasn't feeling motivated on this.-The SC lip stain/scrub is fine. It doesn't really stain at all. I've been using it once or twice a week. Will keep on keeping on.-P&L Eye Cream. I did use this a few times, but I'm just horrible for remembering to use an eye cream. -Skylar mini fragrance.

I like this formula well enough, I've gone through a few different flavours before. I've used this every night before bed and can see some progress but I'm going to try using it from one spot to better be able to see that progress.-Farmacy Honey Face Mask. I've been using this once a week. I actually really enjoy the warming sensation, but dang this pot is going to take a long time to finish.-Becca Blush. I've used this everyday in January that I wore makeup and I'm quite surprised at how much I enjoy this shade! I'll be happy to use this and use it up. Hard to see progress in the pot though.-Ulta Shadow Trio. I do actually see a wee dip in the matte mauve shade. I dont see this being finished in a year, but heres to trying!-Farmacy Lip Mask.
