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!

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
