Hi Friends,

Used up:

Josie Maran Pure Argan Milk Intensive Hydrating Treatment- I really liked this. Would repurchase in the future. Replaced with Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector from the stash.

32 oz. WEN Pink Lemonade CC- a new favorite, love this scent and formula. Replaced with an open Pomegranate with just a little left from the stash.

Travel Size Perricone MD Face Finishing Moisturizer- replaced with the same from stash. I like this.

16 oz. Philosophy Mimosa 3 n 1-  enjoyed using this up as handsoap at the kitchen sink. Replaced with Philosophy Orange Chiffon from the stash.

How about you?

Have a good weekend. Be well all!

Hello Kathie and beauty friends......  I used up:

Wen treatment mist, 6 oz.  lavender.    I bought a two pack, and I really didn’t care for this fragrance.  I replaced with my absolute favorite, Jasmine pink peony from my stash.  I won’t repurchase the lavender.  Will donate the other 6oz bottle.  We have a “share” basket at work in the ladies room.  

Clinique moisture surge, 2.5 oz.  love moisture surge.  I replaced with a 3.4 oz Dr. Denese dream cream in a jar.  Forgot I had this, it was opened, but probably 3/4 full.  

Have a safe, happy weekend.  It’s been hot here, I’m ready for fall.

I used up:

-a packet of Coola Mineral Sun Silk Creme Sunscreen SPF 30.  This is the best mineral sunscreen I've tried that is not silicone-based.  It wears well under makeup and doesn't leave much of a white cast.  I have another sample of it to use.  May purchase.

-a full size Coola Classic Sunscreen SPF 30 Unscented.  This is not a mineral sunscreen.  It wears well under makeup.  I was unable to find this same one in unscented.  They have SPF 30 in a scented version, or unscented in SPF 50.  Not sure what happened to this exact product.

-a jar of Deep Steep Argan Oil Body Butter in Mango Papaya scent.  This was a very nice product.  I liked this best as a hand cream.  It was a pleasure to use.

Enjoy your weekend, everybody!!

Good morning beauties.  I used up a couple of things and tossed one.

Used up:

Alba Botanica Very Emollient Cream - full size.  This is a huge pump bottle.  This isn't a favorite of mine.  It is unscented but has a weird smell to it.  Almost like play-doh or something.  Maybe it's wax.  I don't know but I'd not be inclined to buy this again.  I replaced with a J.R. Watkins lotion that so far is very nice. 

Generic Value Products Sculpting Mousse - full size.  This is the Sally Beauty Supply version of Paul Mitchell Sculpting Foam with conditioners.  This is a staple for me and I replaced with the same.  

Tossed:

Matrix High Amplify Proforma Hairspray - full size.  I bought this when Beauty Brands had their 50% off hairspray sale.  This was way too stiff for my hair.  It made my hair feel dried out and crunchy.  I didn't care for the smell either.  I managed to use up about 3/4 of the bottle and couldn't take it anymore.

I don't remember finishing any products this week. Have a great weekend Beauty Friends!

Good morning, Beauties!

I used up a deluxe sample size of Skinn Age Reset Serum. I think I got that from the Beauty with Benefits bag.  It feels nice and I will definitely use it again if it comes in a kit. I don't think I'll go out of my way to purchase the full size, though.

I also used up a mimi size of Perlier Hemp Hand Cream. It smells nice. It has a hearbal smell. And it feels super moisturizing. It is definitely worth buying a full size sometime in the distant future (after I finish my big stash of body butters).

That is all for me this week.  Have a great weekend!

Good morning!  I used up Burt's Bees oil cleanser.  Have replaced with Paula's Choice oil cleanser.

Thats it for me this week.  Hope everyone is doing well and stay safe!

Happy weekend beauties!

I used up: Tresemme Hairspray number 4 11oz- This is my usual everyday hairspray and replaced with the same.

Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water 1.05oz sample size- This seemed to do a decent job taking my makeup off and made my skin feel nice and soft, but I had to use 4 cotton rounds just to get some foundation off, not even counting any eye makeup.

I guess that's why I don't understand the appeal of the micellar waters, you just have to use so much and go over and over so many times. I got this as a sample but won't purchase full size. I will just stick to a cleansing balm or a face wipe, it's just easier in my opinion.

IMO Micellar Water isn't for 1st cleanse, it's for taking off any left behind mascara etc.

I wash my face with a cleanser (cetaphil, purity, cleansing balm) then do a once over with micellar water.

I dry my face with one of those make up eraser clothes - that gets some left behind makeup off too. HTH

Not too much for me this week.

I pitched:

Algenist Bronzer - it had a little left but I haven't used it since switching to Physicians Formula so out it went.

I used up:

Secret Key Galactomyces First Essence - replaced with Mizon Skin Power Originsl First Essence 

Alpha Skin Care Nourishing Eye Cream - not replacing, will use the CeraVe Eye Cream both AM & PM

Soap bar from a home artisan - replaced with another of the same kind.
