march empties & hit pans!

hi guys! work project's got me super busy and tired, so i apologize for being a few days late. buuuut onto the empties! ~Lin-chan ^.~
  1. simple cleansing wipes
  2. sonia kashuk eye makeup remover
  3. sephora collection soild brush cleaner
  4. bioderma sensibio
  5. maybelline fit me matte+poreless foundation in 120
  6. maybelline fit me concealer in 10 light
  7. belif true cream aqua bomb moisturizer
  8. tony moly rice sheet mask
  9. tree hut coconut lime sugar scrub
  10. wet n wild fergie take on the day eyeshadow primer -- i really liked using this. super inexpensive and lasted me for like a year. very comparable to urban decay or milani.
    repurchase? yes
  11. not soap radio the phoenix body lotion -- omg you guys! i loved this lotion. the scent was great and the formulation was perfect for me. it was about the consistency of a bath and body works lotion, but absorbed way faster, and the scent lingered maybe an hour or so once it fully absorbed.
    repurchase? yes
  12. sephora collection green tea face mask -- i actually don't really recall how i felt about it since i used it toward the beginning of the month and forgot..... i do remember feeling kinda meh about it after i took it off. like a maybe it did something, but it didn't wow me.
    repurchase? nah
  13. sephora collection green tea eye mask -- these have such a bizarre shape. it's like an apostrophe or a comma and it curves around the eye up to the tail of the eyebrow. super strange and not totally as pictured. these did come semi-stuck together, with a plasticy film thing to kind of keep them separated. i don't think that these were super great, like they're supposedly cooling and refreshing, but i noticed neither with the discomfort of the weird shape of them.
    repurchase? no
  14. tony moly my little pet eye patches -- this was so soothing and awesome. first off, these aren't loosely attached to a thin piece of plastic, these came in a legit plastic case, inside the foil wrapper. these are gel patches and they felt great! i don't really get dark circles too badly, so i'm not sure how effective they were on that front, but it was a very relaxing 30 minutes that i was wearing these.
    repurchase? yes
  15. holika holika pig nose blackhead kit -- this is a very interesting kit. there's three steps, each an individually wrapped nose strip. the first strip is shaped like your typical nose strip, but is a thin sheet-mask cloth saturated in the serum stuff, and you wear it 15-20 minutes. then step 2 is just like your biore nose strip. you wet your nose and stick it on. it's cute and pink on the underside. you wear this for another 10-15 minutes. step 3 is a gel mask, which you wear for 10-15 minutes. so this whole process is like 1 hour long, which is kind of a long time, but whatever. step one was pretty interesting, i'm not sure if this is typical for everyone but it stung/burned for the first half of the time. the second pulled off the usual amount of stuff, and the third was pretty interesting but didn't feel like anything special or super soothing. also, the third step was a little more annoying to open because they put a label on the back for the instructions [in english!] and making it too thick and difficult to tear it open.
    repurchase? undecided since i don't get really bad blackheads
  16. dermatin-ts pore refining charcoal sheet mask -- these were $2 for $5 at sally's, so i decided to give them a try. this one was ok. it is in two pieces, the top half of your face and a lower half. and it didn't really stick all that well to my skin or themselves. it wasn't super saturated like the tony moly ones, but it was made of a slightly thicker, sturdier cloth. also, it was black if you're wondering..for the charcoal i guess. anyway, i kept finding myself sticking it back down onto my face every so often because it kept peeling up. and in the end, i'm not totally sure that this one really did anything special. it was interesting too because this one, you don't pat the remaining serum in, you actually wash your face. but whatever. it was interesting to try and i can't wait to use the other one i bought from this brand.
    repurchase? nah
  17. dr. jart+ dermaclear micro water -- this was actually a pretty nice product, the only issue is that it's kind of expensive, relative to bioderma which i will more likely continue using.
    repurchase? nah
  18. tony moly tea tree sheet mask --this was super relaxing and helped my skin a lot. prior to using it, my skin was irritated with lots of zits..bleh! but afterward, my skin felt a lot less irritated and cleared up after a couple days.
    repurchase? yes
  19. nspa coconut body butter -- this came in a walmart box and i actually quite enjoyed it. the scent was nice and it had a nice semi-thick consistency that absorbed very well.
    repurchase? maybe, & try other scents
  20. maybelline brow drama brow mascara in deep brown -- i have the same complaint as pretty much everyone else out there. the wand is really stupid shaped. the product itself is fairly good though. so if you wanted to, you could just cut the wand....
    repurchase? no
hit pans
  1. makeup geek barcelona beach
  2. rimmel london stay matte in transluscent
not pictured
  1. pantene smooth & sleek conditioner
  2. simple skincare soothing facial toner -- when i first got this, i thought it was kind of meh and eventually i decided to leave it at the in-law's. and i've finally used it up! it's only taken me a couple years..... anyway, i'll probably just buy a bottle of my clinique clarifying lotion 3 to keep at their house.
    repurchase? undecided
  3. living proof satin hair serum sample -- omg guys! this was amazing when i went to chicago in january. i think with the dry air..it kept my frizz away. used in humid louisiana..not so much.
    repurchase? maybe if i'm traveling/living somewhere else
