Favorites: Burberry Cat Lashes mascara--I didn't like it at first but once the formula loosened up it was great. I like the wand, too. Burberry Pale Barley eyeshadow--Great quality and it's gorgeous. Laura Mercier Golden Bronze bronzer--My face is way paler than the rest of my body right now, so I've been loving this bronzer.
Empties: Sunday Riley Good Genes--Already repurchased Peter Thomas Roth Max Sheer All Day Moisture Defense Lotion (deluxe sample)--Nice and moisturizing sunscreen, but I don't think it would work under makeup. Tarteguard sunscreen (deluxe sample)--Fine on its own, probably won't buy it though NARS eye primer--Already repurchased Belif Moisturizing Bomb--I liked it and got the Belif 250 reward from Sephora to have more. I'm not sure I'd spend money on it. MAC Strobe Cream--Love it, already repurchased. They're coming out with colors soon--hooray!

I put myself on a spending freeze last month and it worked! I also got makeup organizers from dollar tree so everything is displayed on my counter (and I can see how much I already own).
Empties: Benefit They're Real mascara Almay oil-free eye makeup remover pads - repurchased YSL Mon Paris perfume sample. Love, hope to get the full size for Christmas.
Favorites: Not a lot this month! Something is making me break out and I'm not sure if it's the SR Good Genes or the Belif moisturizer sample I'm using up. Boooo
Pixi multi balm in Wild Rose - perfect color for me! It makes getting ready much faster and the end result is much more coordinated than I usually get.

New Favorites: Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara Tarte Blush in Exposed
Empties: I tossed my Nars Blush - it was almost empty but too dark for my not-lifeguard-tan skin I finished my bottle of vitamins (not makeup, but still a success that I remembered to take them every day)
I used up and re-purchase Maybelline Fit Me Foundation and Cover Ready Set Gorgeous.
I use the matte version of the Maybelline. I also bought the dewy to try as it has SPF. Hated it. Saving is for Jan/Feb when it's so dry. I might like it then.

-believe it or not but the Ulta brand foundation stick, has pretty good coverage for everyday.
- benefit roller lash, I like that it's light and looks more natural. I only have a travel sized one right now but the full sized is on my list. Favorite everyday mascara.
Empties: -UD 24/7 waterline eyeliner, already bought a new one
-lorac liquid liner, I don't plan on buying this again. The skin on the outer corner of my eye would become red after using it but it was a gift so I didn't want to give it anyway.
I realized I had a bunch of skincare samples piling up so I really focused on that this month. Nothing of note from all those unfortunately. What I would repurchase: -Revlon Whipped Foundation, my fav drugstore foundation -TF Mascara Melt Off, this stuff is great. I'll grab a full size during the VIB sale -TF BTS and Benefit Roller Lash -Dior Lip Glow, love -Neutrogena face wash, my HG -CosRx pimple patches
Favorites this month: -Lorac Mega Pro 3- Love! I already have dips in a few shadows and I kind of want a back up lol. -Maybelline Lipstick in Maple Kiss -Lancome Hypnose Drama mascara, Great everyday mascara but I also love the scent in it. I never thought I'd like how a mascara smells. -Vibrancy Foundation, HG so happy my shade finally came back in stock:) -Becca Rose Quartz highlighter, this is a great everyday highlight for me. I've pretty much used it for 2 months straight and haven't gotten tired of it.
lots of really great products this month. I already repurchased the oribe spray, and I'll repurchase the yes to grapefruit peel/mask after I get through some stashed skincare products.
The Bite Holiday set. The fig one is not great, but I love Honeycomb, Pepper, and Nori.
I really love the Nars blush that was the free Sephora "congratulations you are a makeup whore" gift you get when you hit Rouge. It's so pretty!
The Hourglass highlighter that came in the Sephora glow kit. I don't know what it is called, but it's awesome. It is subtle, and a nice change from my usual Becca ones.
Empties: A deluxe sample of the Aerin Rose lip conditioner, a 100 points freebie from Sephora. LOVED IT. I ordered another 100 point freebie of it. I will probably splurge on a full size at some point.
A deluxe sample of the Belif Aqua Bomb. I realized that this is a different product than the moisture bomb, which broke me out. I liked the Aqua Bomb. I have one more deluxe sample of it kicking around, I will use that up before deciding whether to buy.
Drunk Elephant C serum. I have not repurchased yet, but I will.
No empties, no favorites. I've purchased a few new things, but I've also been revisiting older items in my stash. I used my Smashbox On the Rocks palette a few times and liked it more than I remember liking it in the past.
Empty: Elf green primer. I like it as much as Smashbox green primer. But I'm trying to use less on my skin, so I don't know if I'll repurchase.
Favorites: Kat Von D Ink Liner. The perfect thin winged look.
Bite lip primer--at first I was skeptical, but it is great under matte lipsticks. Prevents drying out and feathering. I used it under Mac Russian Red and it looks awesome.
