February Favorites & Empties

[secretlyevil]

So what did you use up and what couldn't you get enough of?

[robinsbff]

i didn't use up much of anything - i don't think sheet masks count since they are one use, lol.

but a favorite is the gwen stefani blush palette. i know it's old news, but every time i get it out i just think 'damn i love this so much, why did i put it away???'

on the skincare side i started regularly using the drunk elephant TLC serum at night and love it. i got the little one in the nightbright kit but i may end up buying the full size one eventually. my skin just feels amazing after using it.

Kind of weak but I am making a point to use my samples. Mostly skincare at this point but I made a huge dent. It's fun too because some of the products I thought I'd love I really hated and vice versa.
I used up full size First Aid Beauty face cleanser, maybelliene mascara and a urban decay concealer. That's it though. Nothing wild.

Started using my stash of dr goss alpha beta peels and love them. Definitely buying a new supply that I'm committed to a new skin care regime!

[bluestreet]

Used up my Face Shop Bright Rice oil cleanser. I'm using a TJ oil cleanser now. Probably going to use Clean It Zero next.

My favorite of February was NARS Sheer Glow. And all The Ordinary stuff.

Empty
Marcelle micelar water, too faced hangover primer, 2 stila eyeliners. That was my second or third I hangover primer but I decided to try something new.

Favorites
Ulta juice infused lip oil, I have three so one is always in reach.

Empty-
Origins checks and balances. Love this and will repurchase once I use up a few samples.
L'octane foaming face wash. Tried for 3 days and tossed, it really dried out my skin.
UD 24/7 liner in bourbon. It was fine, but don't plan to repurchase.
Too Faced BTS mascara. Will eventually rebuy, it's always been a favorite.

Favorites -
Misha BB Cream. Love this stuff and already planning to order more since it takes a little while to receive.

My favorite thing last month was my Butter London Shadow Clutch palette. I traveled a fair amount and it was perfect. I swapped out the top right color for the top one from the set of singles:



I am not sure that they are going to last, Ulta no longer had a display last time I was there and the single sets were just shoved behind some other Butter London products.



No empties worth reporting.

[Champagne Supernova]

Not many empties and I've been saving my samples for an upcoming trip.

Empties:

Too Cool For School Egg Mellow Cream - deluxe sample. I like it. Will probably repurchase someday
Anastasia Brow Gel - It works fine but this is my first time trying a brow gel and I want to see what else is out there.

Favourites:
MAC Listick in Mehr - Will have to repurchase because I seemed to have lost the tube already.
NARS VelvetLip Glide in Bound - came with the Feb Play box, already purchased the full-size.

Empties:
-Hourglass Mineral Veil primer--My HG primer that I will absolutely repurchase once I work through a few deluxe samples
-Drunk Elephant Vitamin C serum--Meh. I didn't hate it, but it didn't seem to do much of anything for my skin either. Will not repurchase.
-Origins A Perfect World cleanser--I went back to this after using up my last rose stick, and I really love it.  Already had another in my stash, so won't repurchase yet
-Ole Henriksen African Red Tea cleanser--HG morning cleanser, but I have two (how???) in my stash so I won't be repurchasing for awhile
-bunch of random foils

Favorites:
-Stila eyeliner in Lionfish
-Kat von D tattoo liner in black
-Naked 2

Korres Body Butter-If you have really dry skin get this (I have fig and I like it; not sweet, just smells fresh)
Maybelline Color Sensational Shaping Lip Liner in Totally Toffee
Too Face Peach Lip Oil (the 100 point mini from Sephora)
Sephora cushion blushes you can't buy here (but these are similar just pricier)

Empties:
Omorovicza Themal Cleansing Balm (deluxe sample)-OK, but I prefer the Clinique
Sunday Riley Good Genes-I liked it but I'm trying some Drunk Elephant stuff now
MAC Fix+ in Yuzu-I just bought some of the new Work Out Fix+in Coconut, but I loved the Yuzu
Caudalie Eye Lifting Balm (deluxe sample)-Fine but I probably won't purchase it

[wineandcheese]

No empties last month. I really didn't wear much makeup last month.

I loved the Wet & Wild Catsuit liquid lipsticks. Also the Wet & Wild gel lip liner. Plus they are pretty cheap.

I also am liking the physician's formula bronzer. The shade I got is a little light but it's nice for a little color.

[calico]
