I went after a lot of my mini products with a vengeance this past month. My fiance participated in the Residency Match and we learned that we will be moving to another city over the summer. There's so much I want to use up so I don't have to pack it (project coming soon, probably later today). Without further ado, here are my empty products:
Top - yes, I used up that brush. That brush has seen some things. May it rest in peace.
~ L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte in 101 Classic Ivory - This has a decently skin-like finish on me with a good color match once it oxidizes. I have already repurchased.
~ Maybelline Master fix wear-boosting setting spray - This is okay. I don't notice a huge increase in the longevity of my makeup, but I would buy it again since it's a good price.
~ Smashbox photo finish foundation primer - This gives a nice smooth finish for my foundation application. I don't really like that it makes my face feel greasy though. I would use another sample, but will probably not repurchase.
~ Clarins last minute base - Decent primer, with a "pore-filling primer" feel to it.
~ Lancer nourish moisturizer - A little too thick of a moisturizer for my needs. Would not purchase.
~Sunday Riley CEO - used as both morning serum and moisturizer. I didn't notice a skin difference and for the price, I would need to see more of a difference. Would not purchase.
~ Fresh rose face mask (tub and top right foil pack) - I like this, it's lightly hydrating, but I don't love it enough to purchase. I would use more samples though.
~ Farmacy Honey Potion mask - This was very warming, and pretty hydrating. Major con: it's glass, and I use masks in the shower. That did not go well. Would not purchase.
~ Drunk Elephant B Hydra hydration gel - I liked it more from this pack than the travel size I previously tried. It felt more like a gel moisturizer, and I enjoyed it. Would purchase in a larger size.

~ NARS radiant creamy concealer in vanilla travel size - Nice formula, wore pretty well, but looked orange on my under-eyes. Probably would not purchase.
~ Marc Jacobs "slow burn" DS - This was a rose colored lipstick with a moderately long-lasting formula. You may recognize it from my 12 Pans of Christmas project, and now it's done! I probably won't repurchase since there are so many lipsticks I'd like to try.
~ ABH brow wiz in soft brown DS - probably too light of a color for me, but it was okay. I've gotten into the brow pencil life, and I already have a full size (soon to have more thanks to the Ulta 21 Days of Beauty sale).
~ Wet n Wild proline felt tip eyeliner (black) - I'm not a fan of felt tip eyeliners - I prefer brush tip for a really thin line. I used this up by wearing it on my work days, and it went by quickly. Would not repurchase.
~ Real Techniques sponge - it was time. Have already repurchased.
~ Korres Black Pine serum - This was an anti-aging collagen serum. Do I need this? Probably not. But I got drawn in at TJ Maxx and thus I had to use it up. Would not repurchase for this phase of my life.
~ Giorgio Armani fluid sheer - I'm not 100% sure what this is supposed to be, but I put it all over my face like a primer. Jokes on me, it's like a liquid highlighter. But not metallic enough to really be a liquid highlight. Oh well, it's gone now. Would not purchase.
~ Biossance squalane vitamin C & rose oil - Once I got used to using an oil, I started to really enjoy this. I think I may have noticed an improvement in my skin, so I might repurchase this at some point.
~ Cane & Austin miracle pad - I've only used the one, but I have 2 more, so I'll give opinions in the next empties post.
~ Clarins sunscreen - This was a nice, basic sunscreen. I don't think there's much of a difference between this and, say, Neutrogena. Would not purchase.
~ Marc Jacobs Divine Decadence DS - This was candy sweet, but also a little deeper, like an amber? I'm terrible at scent notes, but I enjoyed this fragrance. I would want to try another sample, but probably wouldn't purchase at this point.
