An update to wrap up summer!
Empties:
– Pacifica vegan cream creamy gel cleanser: got this in a pack at TJ Maxx, enjoyed it. WNRP at the moment since I have a bunch of sample size cleansers from GWP, but maybe after I’m through with those.
– Elf holy hydration cleansing balm: this is the second one I’ve finished. My favorite is the farmacy green clean one, but since it’s so pricey I haven’t repurchased. Elf is definitely better value.
– Glow Recipe watermelon dew drops: got this as a Sephora sample. It smelt nice but I’m not sure it did anything. I used it for travel.
– Glow Recipe watermelon toner: same as above, enjoyed it but don’t think it’s worth the money.
– Kiko Milano eye cream: I prefer their eye cream that’s in a red package but this had a roller applicator which was lovely.
Replacements:
– Pacifica vegan ceramide extra gentle face wash: this was half off at Ulta. I like the glow baby one more, but not bad as a second cleanse when removing makeup.
– Byoma cleansing balm: unsure if I like it — would def appreciate cleansing balm recs! I see farmacy is having a labor day sale online so am contemplating if I should drop $52 on the huge 200ml one, it would last for a while.
– Thayer’s facial toner: have enjoyed it so far, my truth is I am not 100% sure what it’s supposed to do LOL but I’ve gone through two of the Trader Joe’s rosewater ones and enjoyed.
– Trader Joe’s eye cream: not as nice of an applicator but gets the job done.
Pans in progress:
– Mineral Fusion highlighter palette: love the upper left shade especially.
– Mineral Fusion bronzer palette: I use it as eyeshadow.
– Benefit mini hoola bronzer: got this in November and was surprised I’ve been able to make a dent!
– Kiko Milano crazy 90s contour stick: got this in October, have enjoyed it, no longer in Europe though so looking for a new stick contour.
– Elf press powder: it goes quick. I got this to keep in my bag so I’m not a glazed donut during the day. Think I prefer the Maybelline.
