october empties, makeup graveyard, and a favorite!

hi guys!! i've got quite a lot going on this month too. sadly several of these became empty like literally on the 1st. lol, oh well whatever. i did include a few makeup graveyard products..because as i said last month, i was doing a closet clean out (btw that got halted because life got crazy, and i haven't gotten back to it, lol). i also included a sneaky favorite into the bottom of this post, because it was most convenient to tack it onto this post. anyway, here ya go! ~Lin-chan ^.~

1. simple cleansing wipes
2. kat von d tattoo liner in trooper
3. parian spirit/sephora citrus brush cleaner
4. clinique clarifying lotion 3
5. maybelline fit me matte+poreless foundation in 120
6. lorac porefection primer
7. smashbox photo finish primer
8. sonia kashuk eye makeup remover
9. rimmel stay matte powder in translucent
10. tree hut sugar scrub in passion fruit & guava
11. tony moly mud sheet mask -- this one was a weird but great one. this is a sheet mask with like a mud mask in it..? this mask comes with a top and bottom sheet, with lining on both sides to keep it from sticking to itself. then you leave it on for "40 minutes" until it dries...yeah that took about an hour for it to fully dry (excluding the top/bottom seam). either way, i enjoyed the feeling it gave during and after using. while it was drying, it felt a bit tight on my skin. and afterward, my skin felt a lot clearer and..nice? lol i'm not sure, but i'm interested in getting more of these.
    repurchase? yes
12. equate makeup remover (compare to neutrogena) -- these burned my eyes! i'd say they work and they're very similar to the neutrogena ones, but i won't be getting these again unless there's an emergency. one of the reasons i picked this up was because it had 10 sheets in it, as opposed to the standard 7 in minis.
    repurchase? no
13. sigma F80 -- this brush needs retiring.. the bristles are starting to pull out in weird lengths, and i already accidentally pulled out the whole bundle of bristles and glued it back in months ago.
    repurchase? nah, get a lamora flat top kabuki from amazon ($10 vs $25)!
14. formula 10.0.6 down to the pore nose strips -- i enjoyed using these, they had a bit of a scent to them--maybe the tea tree? but i feel like they worked near the same as the biore strips, which are way cheaper.
    repurchase? maybe, they're kind of expensive relatively speaking
15. clairol hair food moisture hair mask with honey apricot fragrance -- this was a nice hair mask, my biggest issue is the squeeze tube format. i mean, yes i guess i could have put it into some other container or cut the tube or something.....but i wasn't that dedicated to this product. i think i got this in a target beauty box eons and eons ago.
    repurchase? nah
16. pureology colour fanatic multi-tasking hair beautifier -- the scent of this was kinda meh, and i'm not 100% sure if i feel like this did much for me.
    repurchase? nah
17. cetaphil moisturizing cream -- this was a very nice moisturizer, i liked the texture and thickness of it, and it worked its way in very nicely. didn't feel oily or greasy and it was unscented. really enjoyed using it.
    repurchase? maybe
18. meiji strawberry chocorooms -- i'm so sad that these are like $4 at the 5 below store. just saying. these are so freaking good. think pocky but smaller and way more cream. mmmmmm!
    repurchase? ZOMG!
19. bumble and bumble don't blow it -- i don't really feel like this did anything special to my hair. and i found myself kind of going out of my way to remember to use it.
    repurchase? nah

makeup graveyard:

1. maybelline color tattoos

favorite: so i didn't feel the need to photograph it because that'd be silly, but i don't have any new favorites this month aside from this perfume sample i got in september..? it's ysl black opium. omg it smells so good. i'm not huge into florals but this is a warm floral..and i suck at describing scents. anyway, give it a try the next time you're at a perfume store!
