mfluder, I prefer to not use it in the morning, but it would fit in well after your Vit C (before or in place of your light moisturizer, depending on how dry your skin is).

At night, put it after your differin and before the moisturizer, or after all the actives the other night.

thanks!

I had a lot of sample/junior size empties this month:
Algenist Genius cream (loved)
Fresh Lotus cream (OK, not outstanding)
Hourglass Vanish stick foundation (meh)
Becca First Light primer (loved)
Christophe Robin scalp scrub (like, wouldn’t purchase)
DE Framboos (meh)

Full size empties:
L’Oréal Lash Paradise mascara (from love to meh)
NYX Epic Ink liner (loved, had a backup)
Shea Moisture coconut and hibiscus body wash (love but will hold off until summer)
TO Buffet (like, holding off on repurchase)

Favorites:
Cover FX custom enhancer drops (first liquid highlight I’ve ever liked)
MAC Fix+
MUFE HD foundation
Becca First Light primer
NYX precision brow pencil (new HG)
PF Bright Booster oil blend

I threw away a bunch of products that broke me out like whoa:
WNW Photo Focus foundation
Korres Golden Crocus serum (sample)
DE Marula oil
All my makeup sponges - I’m brush only now

Sounds like you get the PLAY box too! 

I almost threw the Algenist cream away because I saw the price tag before I tried it. Didn't want to fall in love with it and be tempted to buy it. 
Well guess what is in my Sephora shopping cart now?! There is a set that has the 1oz cream and a bunch of other stuff for $90ish so I think I'll get that. I'm going to be so broke if this turns into my HG brand!

Favorites:
- Got my first Boxy Charm box, and I'm impressed. Looking forward to November, as they just posted spoiler #1.
- Dr Brandt Pore Dermabrasion (received in my Boxy Charm)- it's a physical and chemical exfoliator... but I don't really "scrub", just lightly slather it on, let it sit for 2-3 minutes and rinse. My face feels and looks great after. 
- Banila Co. Clean it Zero- loving this as a first cleanse. 

Empties:
- Benefit Rollerlash travel size. Won't repurchase. I like this, but I have a couple other mascara samples to use
- Tarte Shapetape. Won't repurchase, but I do have another tube in a different color that is only about 1/3 used. 

I am loving the Dr brant from boxycharm! I am also a little obsessed with the Becca highlighter. I got the liquid one and mix it with my primer it’s subtle and beautiful! Did you see that a limited edition box is coming out? More info will be in your tracking email for this months box.

I pre-ordered the limited edition box last night... only because there was so much hype on social media with the website crashing from all the traffic. I'm such a sucker. Hopefully it's good! If it's 8 full sized products of the brands they are showing, it has to be worth it!

Empties:
IGK Rich Kid Coconut Oil Gel (sample) - will repurchase when I use up some more product
VERB Leave-in Mist (sample) - will not repurchase, too thick for a spray
Nyx pressed powder - had it down to the edges and then I dropped it.  Have others to use for now. 

Loves:
Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Cream - seems to be helping cure my weird flaky dry patches that I get when the seasons change
Benefit Gimme Brow (shade 3) - I wear this to work every day, I like that it's more subtle than the KaBrow
Fenty Galaxy Eyeshadow Palette - soooo pretty. Not super wearable because it is extremely shimmery but it's soooooooo pretty and I'm having fun playing.

I am not worried about this but I did want to give you a heads up: benefit is doing a voluntary recall of all of its Gimme brow sold this year. Apparently a batch might have an issue if it gets in your eyes but they are doing it for much more than that batch.

I did stop using mine and guess I should try to return it. But. Lazy.

This includes sample sizes by the way.

Eesh. Thanks for the heads up.

I tried the DE TLC Sukari baby facial. Damn, is it good!

Agreed! I told my husband that it felt like sparks of electricity were flying through my skin.

Lancôme marquicomplat - debating repurchasing. I think this will be perfect if I find a good corrector to go underneath it.

Bare minerals complexion rescue - repurchases

Damnit...you are not helping here. I'm trying not to spend money!
