February 2018 Empties

I have a couple products in here I'm particularly proud to have finished up. It was a very productive month considering it was the shortest!


Clockwise from top left:

~ Marc Jacobs "Decadence" and "Divine Decadence" foil sample card - I honestly can't tell the difference between these two scents, but I do like them. They had a sweet, slightly floral scent. The fiance isn't the biggest fan though, so I would not purchase a larger size.
~ YSL "Mon Paris" sample - I thought I would like this more than I did. It's also a sweet floral, but once on my skin it started to smell more powdery and chemical-y. Would not purchase.
~ Elizabeth and James "Nirvana Black" DS rollerball - I've had this for a while, and I think it started to go off on me. It's a warm and spicy scent that I used to enjoy more. Might repurchase.
~ Too Faced lip injection glossy "Milkshake" - This was a surprise love from last February's Sephora Play box. It was slightly tingly, and the color was a shimmery warm beige? It sounds odd, but it was flattering. I might purchase this once I have space for another lipgloss.
~ Sephora Collection avocado eye mask - Meh. I occasionally get these to get my point perks sent to me, and I'll likely continue to do so. Didn't do anything special, but the eye mask experience was relaxing.
~ Smashbox photo finish foundation primer - Another one. Still like it, still have some of a DS left.
~ Lancome la base pro hydra glow (x2) - This came out pink, which I was not expecting. It applied really smoothly, and may or may not have had a smoothing effect on my skin. Overall, not super special on me. Would not purchase.
~ Coola daydream mineral primer (SPF 30) - I applied this as both sunscreen and primer. It felt a little oily when I first put it on, but it dried down to a slightly powdery finish. No issues applying makeup over it. Would purchase in a larger size at some point.
~ Glamglow moisturizer "nude glow" - 2/2 finally done. Still a nope from me.
~ Fresh sugar advanced therapy lip balm - My fiance and I used this before going to sleep. It's both hydrating and light on the lips. I think the price has increased since I first purchased this, but I would still repurchase.
~ ABH clear brow gel - This thing lasted me about a year of solid use. I'm currently using a DS of this, and I would consider repurchasing after that's done. I might want to try another kind first.
~ ABH brush #7 - How can a brush be empty? Feel this brush. It has 1.5 years of brow powder and eyebrow grease that WILL NOT come out. It was time. I repurchased a #7B, and will actually clean this one regularly.

BONUS: I hit pan on "funny girl" from my Tartelette in Bloom. I've been using this as my inner corner highlight and I've been loving it. I promise there's actually a speck of pan in there. It's just hard to see because the shadow itself is also reflective.

Fire & Ice Project Pan [Update #1]

 The youtubers are uploading their updates, so here I am, tagging along for update #1! I think I had a pretty successful first month. I also used mostly deluxe sized samples, but eh, I'll take the morale boost. ~ Fire item: Firecracker from the Tartelette in Bloom palette. My goal for the first update was to wear down some of the lettering on it, and I made a decent-looking dent in the first few letters! I'm more of a stab my brush in one place until I see the pan kind of person rather than an even use kind of person, so I probably won't wear down the other letters. I've been wearing this as my lid shade for most of the days I wear makeup, so my next goal is to continue doing that. I suspect I might start to get sick of it, so hopefully I'll be able to keep going with it. ~ Ice item: Tarte smooth operator loose setting powder (deluxe sample size). My goal for this update was to be able to make another line to mark my progress. Unfortunately, the way I get the pro...

December 2018 Empties

Y'all. This month looks pitiful compared to past months. I suspect it's because I've mainly been using full-sized skincare so I'm not blazing through as much as I have been. ~ It cosmetics secret sauce moisturizer sample - was a little too much for my oily skin. would not repurchase. ~ Mario Badescu herbal rehydrating serum sample set - this was a gel moisturizer, so it's no surprise that I liked this one. Might try it again in the future, but I have a lot of moisturizer to go through first. ~ 2 Sephora samples of Commodity Gold perfume - this is a warm, sweet scent that I really enjoy and I currently have a travel-size spray. ~ Living Proof perfect hair day shampoo - if you remember when I finished the conditioner, you'll recall that I hated this pair of shampoo and conditioner and I used it up as a shaving cream. Would not repurchase. ~ Estee Lauder sumptuous infinite mascara - this has a plastic bristle brush, which I normally don't like, but...

December Empties

I finished 7 products in December, including 1 makeup product instead of all skincare! ~ Clinique take the day off cleansing balm sephora sample: It was odorless, and just oily enough to efficiently remove my eye makeup and mascara. Bonus, it didn't irritate my eyes. I got the full size for Christmas, but I'm going to try to make some progress on my Pond's cream before I crack into it. ~ Peter Thomas Roth pumpkin enzyme mask sample: I got the pack of deluxe sizes to try, and this mask took so long to finish, I'd never buy a full size. It smelled just like a pumpkin treat, so I enjoyed using it up in the fall/winter. ~ Too Cool for School egg mellow cream lotion: I used this as my morning moisturizer. It had a faintly sweet-lemon scent, which I enjoyed. The pump was nice, but I didn't know how much I had left until I went to pump it and it was empty :( ~ Clinique Welcome Wednesday deluxe lipstick from Christmas 2015: finally! I loved the brown-pink color, bu...
