Girl, You Only Have One Face

I hope I'm not getting into a no-buy, splurge, rinse, repeat kind of cycle. I bought things I didn't really need in June. So of course I'm trying to do a replacement-only no buy for July. Sigh. Here's how the June purchases look in hindsight. ~ Point perks: Hourglass lip stylo in "peacemaker" - can't really see it on my lips, it's okay                        Boscia Charcoal makeup melter - haven't even used yet                        Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum cream - love the travel size I currently have, waiting to open this one ~ Sephora collection green tea eye mask: purchased to get point perks shipped. Haven't used. ~ Drunk Elephant rise + glow duo: this has the B hydra gel and the Vitamin C serum - haven't used these yet ~ Hoola Lite: I really like this and have incorporated it into my regular routine ~ Luxury edition Sephora Play: purchased as a gift for my mom ~ Sephora collection pearl face mask: purchased to get to $25 so I

I would not repurchase. ~ Tarte marine boosting mist DS - smelled like spraying lemon pledge on my face and I didn't notice a difference in my makeup wear time. Would not repurchase. ~ Tarte

I think this is probably still going on in Youtube-land, but I've met all the goals I wanted to. I'll start with what I've already finished, and have pics at the end as always. ~ Dr Jart sunscreen sample finished by the last update ~ 2 perfume samples finished by the previous update, plus I finished 2 more in June ~ Laura Mercier radiance primer sample finished by the previous update ~ Garnier Fructis dry shampoo: finished! Wasn't too excited by this product, probably would not repurchase. ~ Ice item - Tarte Smooth Operator loose powder DS: finished! I enjoyed this, but would like to try other setting powders before deciding to repurchase this. I would totally use another DS though. ~ last but not least...Fire item - Firecracker from Tartelette in Bloom: hit pan! I got so sick of only using this thing as my lid shade. And my under-eye shade. I'm really liking doing eye looks that aren't red now. It's glorious. ~ I think I originally intend
