August Empties

I'm actually pretty proud of the products I finished in August! I finished two makeup products I wanted to finish in 2017, and was able to weed out more of the deluxe sized skincare things I'm trying to move out. As per usual, there's a picture below and I'll do mini reviews below that.



Starting from top left:
~ Origins a perfect world eye cream: I liked that this had spf in it, which makes it a decent daytime eye cream. Will probably not repurchase just because it wasn't that special otherwise.
~ Smashbox pore minimizing primer: I feel like this made my face kind of greasy/slippy. I have so many primer samples that I will never need to purchase one intentionally.
~ Viktor & Rolf Flower Bomb sample & card: I like this scent. Its a warm, spicy floral. It just doesn't smell like "me" to me so I probably wouldn't buy a larger size. But I'd totally use another sample if it came my way.
~Tarte Frixxion Stick: this was okay. Went through it way too fast for me to want to repurchase.
~ BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie lipgloss in Stargazer: this layered beautifully over the other lip product I finished and I'm glad it's gone as it's one of my older products.
~ Sunday Riley Good Genes DS: this was a 100-point perk. I would totally grab another sample/point perk, but I'm not entirely convinced this works. At least not enough for the price.
~ Buxom lipstick in Bombay: this had a minty tingle, and was easy to apply because of the shape. Happy to have moved another makeup product out of my collection. Might consider buying another color from this line at some point.
~ Origins Modern Friction: this was a gentle exfoliator with a nice scent. If I ever need to buy an exfoliant I might consider this one.

Bonus pan! new pan in Flower Child in my Tartelette in Bloom. Also a slightly larger pan in Charmer.




That's it for this month!

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 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...

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...
