Aug Favorites / Empties

[secretlyevil]

What could you not get enough of in August?

What did you use up this past month?

[secretlyevil]

I don't have any empties for Aug but I'm this close on several things so I'll be keeping a list so I don't forget for Sept's thread.

Favorites: UD sheer revolution lipsticks - all of them, WnW fergie highlighter, hula bronzer

Oh! I have one "empty!" My IT 5 in 1 gel brow is done, too dried out to use. I will be repurchasing because it is the best!

[ESF]

I used up my second Reserve Your Cabana. I already repurchased a replacement. I also used up a Batiste dry shampoo, and had a back up waiting. I finished a Scinic snail matrix cream, which I don't think I'll buy again. I know I had at least one more empty, but I'm drawing a blank now.

Favorites: My Bite Multistick in Almond is the bomb. I'm also using the ABH Modern Renaissance Palette all the time.

It blows my mind how you've now gone through two RYC ESF, I just pulled mine back out again but it's probably too soon. It makes me oiler so it's more of a late fall/winter product for me.

I use it every day as a finishing powder. I buff it in with a kabuki brush.  I find it kicks up a lot of excess powder though, maybe it's the brush I'm using.

They've each lasted me about 6 months.

Oh this reminds me of my other August favorite: the CoverFX drops.  I mix two drops with the Josie Maran SPF 47, then finish off with a dusting of RYC. I mix in a bit of primer if it's not a work from home day and I need it to really hold.  The combo is my holy grail canvas.

Favorites: They aren't empty because I just bought them a few weeks ago but the tarte lip facial lip scrub and bite agave lip mask. I added them both to my nighttime routine and my lips have been awesome.

I got the MUFE artist eyeshadow in my play box this month and I love it. I feel like it puts all of my other UD, LM, lorac, etc shadows to shame.

[persa]

Another empty first aid beauty 5 in 1 cream.

[cjeanette]

I used up my Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in the matte finish. I picked up the dewy version yesterday.

I also finished up a lot of Lancome skincare that I thought was meh.

[carrotsmakemefat]

I don't think I finished anything?

What I used a LOT - my y.nique liquid foundation (love that stuff!), and I really used a lot of the nars orgasm and laguna bronzer combo. Also loved a good berry lip (joe maran lip stain specifically, I think it was called berry bliss). I did a lot of minimal looks but wanted more of a lip color.

Yes! I really feel like MUFE makes the best shadows. I wear the one from the play box many times a week.

[cjeanette]

Oh I also used up a Stila Lip Stain in Patina. Then Birchbox sent me a new one and made my day.

[broadsheet]

Lots of empties for me!!

Trader Joe's coconut body butter - repurchase
Clinique moisture surge CC cream - finishing up other stuff first; might repurchase
Biore watery essence - repurchase
Bobbi Brown Beach perfume - will probably repurchase next summer
Benefit They're Real
John Frieda sea salt spray

Favorites: I also bought Maybelline Fit Me foundation and really like it (except I hate the packaging - i always pour out too much.)

[bluelikejazz]

I want to start posting more, so here I am:)

Empty of the repairing shampoo/conditioner samples from last months Target Beauty Box - will not purchase
CG Lash Blast Mascara - not empty, but past it's lifespan, so I tossed it
Threw out the Katy Kat Eye mascara from the same box - too clumpy/too much product on each swipe

Favorites: I've hit pan on 6 of 12 colors in the LM Eye Art Artist's Palette, so safe to say it's still a fave. Same with Tarte Exposed Blush.

[centralsquare]

Dr Gross eye serum. Repurchased at dermstore for 25% off!

Replica Lazy Sunday sample. Love it. Will buy full size on sale.

Haven't been wearing a lot of exciting makeup this month. Mostly sticking to staples: a LM tinted moisturizer, caviar stick, tattoo liner, mascara, Gwen blush, and a sheer revolution.

[Pippin]

I had way more empties this month than I thought. 

HG will def repurchase:
Origins Rose Clay Mask
Mizon Snail Ampoule
Pixi Corrector
Elf Lip Exfoliator
Nip Fab Glycolic face wipes
Garnier Micellar Waterproof
Purlisse face mask- if there's a sale I'll jump on these
Batiste
Olay Eye Cream

Samples that stood out:
DE B Hydra Gel
Atelier Orange Sanguine
Shiseido eye cream

Favorites this month:
Nars Laguna/Orgasm combo- I lucked out getting free deluxe sizes of these and I loved them for summer. I might pick up the anniversary sizes during the Sephora sale if they're still available as I've already put a pretty good dent in them. 
TF BTS- After being disappointed in other mascara samples I finally got to open one of these guys up again. Love this formula so much. 
Mac Where No Man Has Gone lipstick- ok I just got this but it's the most unique shade of Rose gold and I love it. Plus it's Star Trek so yeah. 

[melew]

Empties - Pai Jojoba and Avocado day cream (already repurchased)
Pai Cleanser - PLan on repurchasing after I use up a couple of open travel sized products
ABH Brow Wiz - I need to repurchase this, but am using up a couple of random brow products first
Alterna Cavier shampoo - not repurchasing - I liked it fine, but not enough to pay for it again

Favorites - Hourglass Ambient Lighting powders in Dim and Diffused Light
Jo Malone English Pear and Freesia perfume
Erborian BB cream
NARS Deep Throat blush

I love every Replica sample I've ever gotten my hands on. They are just incredible perfumes.

If I go to a Sephora, I usually spray myself down with one. I wish they had rollerballs of all of them.

[bunnies]

I hit pan on my NARS light reflecting pressed setting powder. It's still far from empty, but I will be repurchasing when it is.

[mortomo]

Empties:

Lea Journo hairspray (discontinued)
Sample packets of Bare Minerals face serum and moisturizer (I have full a full size serum already. Not my favorite.
NYX butter gloss in Eclair (already have 2 back ups)
Bare Minerals lip liner in Thrilled (I have 2 back ups, but sadly it has been discontinued)

Favorites (I had a lot this month):

WNW RYC - I finally purchasec this and love it
First aid beauty red clay face wash (I think that's what it's called). I got this in my Sephora Play box.
Olay Regenerist Micro-sculpting serum- this stuff is awesome! I really feel like it's changing my skin
UD Perversion mascara. This is my HG now. I actually purchased this in full size which I almost never do with mascara.
Bare Minerals Gen Nude lipgloss in Snarky
Make up Revolution Affirmation eye shadow palette- this is my first time with this brand and the shadows are really nice! This palette has 32 colors, so it's fun to use.

[stephm0188]

Empties:
Perricone No Foundation Foundation Serum
Estee Lauder Double Wear Light foundation.

I use both foundations regularly and have/will repurchase. The Perricone serum is amazing! It's light but still gives me nice coverage without being heavy.

Urban Decay Perversion. I had a backup. I'm not sure if this one is doing it for me anymore though. I may switch it up next time to something else.
