Thoughts on June Purchases

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 could get a GWP; haven't used yet
~ said GWP: Bumble and Bumble don't blow it for fine hair: of course I also ended up getting this in my Sephora Play box. Good thing I like it! It gives me easy beachy waves.

Sephora Play for June
~ Tarte tarteguard tinted moisturizer - orange. So orange. Oddly enough, does not match my skin tone. Will destash.
~ Kat von D everlasting liquid lipstick in K-Dub - bright purple. Will destash.
~ Dr Dennis Gross self tanner - I don't self tan. Will destash.
~ Briogeo Curl Charisma - will probably use. haven't yet.
~ Bumble & Bumble don't blow it - the only thing I was looking forward to. and I have 2 of them.
~ Derek Lam 10 Crosby "blackout" perfume sample - haven't used yet.

I cancelled Sephora Play after this box. July will be my last one.

Fingers crossed I can keep up my replacement-only status for July!

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

Pan that Palette March Update

So last month my goals were to hit pan on "5th Ave" and "Marina" and I did not meet them. I did, however, hit pan on "NYC" and I'm happy to have something to show for my time with this thing. Since I used mostly "Marina" and "Paris" I think I have bigger dips in them, but it's hard to say for sure. Anyway, here's a picture: For this next month's goals, I'm going big - I want to hit pan on "Marina," "Paris," and "5th Ave." Again, we'll see. I'm still working away at "Lula" since I use it in the crease, but it doesn't take very much to do what I need it to do.

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
