July Empties / Favorites

[secretlyevil]

What did you finish off and what were you loving this month?

[Champagne Supernova]

Empties:

TO Buffet (already opened another bottle)
Deluxe sample of Laniege sleep mask (already got the full-size)

Faves:

Urban Decay Heat palette
Biore Watery Essence sunscreen
Laniege Sleep mask
Laniege Lip Mask
TO's Ascorbyl Glucoside (not buying Truth Serum ever again. Yes!)
TO's Niacinamide and zinc serum
Lipsense lip colours

Stuff I'm "Meh" about:

TO's High-spreadability primer- It's a good primer for the price but my skin prefers MAC Prep and Prime.
TO's Coverage foundation. Maybe I got the wrong shade? Looked great on application in the morning but my face looked a bit orange-ey in the afternoon.
TO's Serum foundation - Not enough coverage for me but I love how light it is.

[persa]

Finished a biore watery essence and a shiseido senka sunscreen bottle, a bunch of samples. Tossed several mascaras that were at the end of their life (Bobbi brown smokey, clinique high impact, benefit roller lash)

[broadsheet]

Empties
IT Cosmetics CC cream (repurchase)

Favorites
IT Confidence in a Cream
Murad invisablur perfecting shield
Sephora waterproof eye makeup remover - got it in my Play box and really liked it!
Origins rose clay retexturizing mask - loved my sample so much that I bought the full size.

[Deleted]

Empties
NYX total control foundation drops. I'm sort of on the fence with this stuff. For me, it was one of the better foundations I've used in terms of staying power, but...I have a feeling it is the reason my skin broke out hardcore.
Too Faced better than sex. Thank god. I really did not like this mascara.
W&W reserve your cabana. I might re-purchase.
Chrysanthemum "mood changing" jelly lip gloss. I loved this stuff, hah.

Favorites
TO rosehip oil. I am obsessed.
Hard Candy colour correcting powder.
NARS soft matte concealer.

[NewGirlNic]

Empties:
*TO Buffet (only because I knocked the bottle over when I first got it and spilled about 1/3 of it in the sink!)- I'll definitely get another next time I place an order... but I'm going to use up some samples and other stuff for a bit.
*Lash Paradise mascara (tossed because it dried up so quickly)- won't repurchase. I liked it at first but it got dry so fast... both in the tube and when applying. I had to do one eye at a time, or else by the time I went to do a 2nd coat, the first would be dry and flaky. 
*NO 7 Protect & Perfect Intense Eye Cream- like this, but ended up grabbing Origins eye doctor with a credit I had from Sephora

Favorites:
*I Dew Care Disco Kitten Mask- only used once so far, but I really loved the way my skin felt and looked after. Plus it's a fun mask!
* Sun Bum deep conditioning mask- also only used once, but my hair felt soft and it didn't leave a residue after rinsing. 
*Jergens natural glow in shower moisturizer- I've been using this about 3-4 days a week on my arms and legs and I really like it. Has a slight self tanner smell, but it's not too bad. My skin feels moisturized and looks tan. I've gotten a few comments on how tan I am, and I haven't been in the sun much and when I am it's with SPF30+

[ESF]

I had so many empties this month!!

Becca backlight primer
Josie Maran spf moisturizer
Belif aqua bomb
Too Cool for School Egg Cream moisturizer
Farmacy lip balm
Coco Rose body scrub

The first four are holy grail for me and have already been replaced. I have a second Farmacy lip balm somewhere in my house that I can't find. I liked the body scrub again and would by again, though I'm trying another brand out right now.

Favorites: I've been super lazy and just grabbing the same, super warm stuff over and over again: Naked 1, Viseart Minx palette, TheBalm Balm Desert blush/bronzer and Cabana Boy, Becca highlighter in bronzed amber, the Bite lip gloss in some color I don't remember, Mac Coral Optix, and Bite Pepper.

Have you used the Loreal magic lumi pen? I'm wondering how it compares.

[auntie]

calico,

It's been years since I tried the Lumi Pen. I like the Boots better but I'm sleeping better lately, so maybe my dark circles aren't as bad as they were.

My Ulta had testers for this line

-Roller Girl mascara
-Sulawhasoo eye cream deluxe sample--LOVE, and have a couple more deluxe samples in the stash
-Banilla Clean It Zero Purity--already repurchased
-Burberry Fresh Peach lip balm/gloss-already repurchased

I adore milani eye shadow primer, I am working though my deluxe samples of UD's primer but I can't wait to go back to my milani.

[pizzanight]

My only July empty was a sample size Missha watery essence - already had a backup purchased.

Faves:
Gimme Brow - now that my eyebrows are mostly filled in I can just use this to make them darker.
TO Vitamin C suspension 23% plus HA spheres - seeing a difference already. Possible HG.
Bumble & Bumble primer spray

auntie, Monsieur Big is a gift with $25 purchase at Sephora right now if you have anything else to buy.

It was you who recommended it (I'm horrible with names, but I recognize your avatar)!  Thanks!  I tossed the UD I had because it got really funky when I moved to a humid climate.
