November empties and favorites

[broadsheet]

I have a bunch this month!

-FAB ultra repair cream (lasted forever, won't repurchase)
-Juara candlenut body creme (got this in a PopSugar box forever ago; it was fine but nothing special.)
Kiehls ultra moisturizing lotion (just Ok)
Sephora waterproof eye makeup remover (will repurchase)


Lots of deluxe samples from Sephora Play and Ulta GWP:

Algenist power night serum
REN Evercalm day cream
Madame CJ Walker hair conditioning mask (meh)
Strivectin advanced acid - liked it!
Aerin rose lip conditioner - tiny sample lasted forever. Quite nice.
Dr Jart ultimate hydro gel
Tatcha cleansing oil - just fine, but the full size is crazy expensive so I'll never buy.
Alterna Caviar shampoo and conditioner

Favorites
MUFE HD foundation (Sephora Play sample)
Brazilian bum bum cream

Empties:

Tarte Amazonian clay foundation
Cargo blush in "Tonga"
Pureology Hair Treatment spray (sample)

Favorites:
I wouldn't call it a favorite, but I noticed the hair treatment spray actually seemed to help with styling. So I'll be getting more of that.

Marc Jacobs deluxe sized liner- dried out before I could completely finish so won't buy a full size.
Lancôme Juicy Shaker- the oil dries out my lips. The YSL lip oil is much better.
I also finished a bunch of my regular skincare and some samples.

Favorites
Desert Dusk palette
Hourglass Edit 3
Marc Jacobs Bronzer Brush

I'm so happy with these purchases. I use all of them daily. The bronzer brush makes applying bronzer really fast too. All 3 were spendy but I've been keeping my makeup purchases to a minimum this past year so I don't feel guilty about it:)

Empty:
Banila Co Clean It Zero (prefer Heimish)
May Coop Raw Sauce
Biore Aqua Rich Watery Essence sunscreen
MUFE serum deluxe sample
MUFE HD foundation deluxe sample
Maybelline Fit Me foundation
Becca First Light primer deluxe sample

I really liked all of my empties this month! I’m the weirdo that ended up preferring the purple Becca primer to the backlight one.

Favorites:
May Coop Raw Sauce - I didn’t truly appreciate this until I tried another (raved about but disappointing) essence
MAC eyeliner in Teddy - for some reason this is working better now than it did a few months ago, like it got creamier
Stila eyeshadow in Kitten - a staple for me
NYX precision brow pencil - new HG alert!

[calico]

Empties:
Too Cool For School Dinoplatz magic wands- Love these, but they are $$
Forumla 10.0.6 micellar water sensitive formula- eh, not bad, but not my first choice)
Macadamia Naturals Hiar Mask- Love this, already repurchased
Elizabeth Arden's Deep Cleansing mask- eh, nothing to write home about
Tarte Maracuja oil- Won't be repurchasing
Tarte LCL- former HG, won't repurchase
Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Jezebel
Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Luckly Lady
Bite Beauty lipstick mini in Kir Royal (old formula)- tossed b/c I hate the old formula
Star CC cream- tossed b/c it was oxidizing
REN flash Rinse 1 minute facial- meh
Oscar Blandi clear dry shampoo- used to be a HG, but now I hate it compated to LP dry shampoo
Ole Hendrikson Power Peel- would repurchase in future
Living Proof Restore Perfecting spray (deluxe sample)- would consider purchasing. I liked how it felt in my hair, but I have a backlog of other things to try
Sunday Riley Good Genes- got rid of my PIH quickly, but otherwise didn't seem to do much. Will not repurchase.
