January 2021 Empties!

 

 


Wow, it's almost the middle of Jan and the days are just flying by! Sometimes, I wonder if my entire life is just standing still...I kinda feel like that sometimes. But, I understand why things need to be the way they are. 

Because I been "stuck" indoors for 99% of my time (other than to get essentials and run errands) I haven't really been finishing anything other than face masks. I was thinking that maybe I should cut back on my other beauty purchases but, that really hasn't been the case. I can't refuse a good sale. However, I am trying to make an effort to finish 5 things (regardless of their size) that isn't a face mask. Thankfully, I was able to complete it for this empties post. Hopefully, I can keep the momentum going.

I have tried some new masks from Facetory. They are all solid but, nothing noteworthy to go out of my way to get again. I used two new soaps and they are very creamy. The Tom's of Maine and the Le Petit Marseillaise soap is creamy and provided a generous lather and my skin didn't feel dried out. However, I still needed to follow up with lotion. I might get them again.

I had the Yes to Carrots lotion for a bit and I finally finished it. I used to love the brand a lot more but, I feel like they have gone downhill. I read about people having severe allergic reactions to one of their masks and the company wasn't doing much about pulling the product from stores. I still have a few more of their products to use and I think I will stop buying from them. I have the full size Laneige lip treatment and it smells amazing. It has a sweet cotton candy smell and a tacky texture. I use this before going to bed. However, I do not use it alone otherwise, I wake up with dry lips. I apply a lip balm and then top the balm with this lip treatment.

Here is everything I finished -

Natures Republic Acai Berry Mask
BioBelle Facial Mask #RoseAllDay
Betterskin Antioxidant Sheet Mask
Honey Jarret Super Beau'tea Mask Rose
Facetory Sun Bae Soothing Mask
Meg Two Step Jelly Mask

January 2021 Haul!

 

 

I can't believe it is already January 2021! The entire year went by so quickly. But, I hope this year is better this year...

I got a few masks from Facetory. I been using sheet masks more frequently and have noticed my skin looking more radiant and it's softer. I bought a new skin routine from Perricone MD for acne. I hate getting those cystic acne that comes and goes in a non-stop cycle. 

I got a few lip products that I am super excited over. I got this new lip balm from a brand called La Muse. It reminds me of the Fresh lip balm. I wonder if it will be similar. I bought another lipstick from Huda in Alluring. I didn't realize it was matte. I am moving away from the matte lipstick since, I found that they can be very drying. I got a new lipstick lip gloss from Trust Fund Beauty that I am excited to try. Colourpop had a 25% off sale and I bought a few of their Disney lipsticks.  I got a few lip products from Philosophy but, I have been using their lip products for awhile. They are okay but, smell amazing.

I am really excited to try the Elemis Frangipani Monoi because my skin gets really dry during the winter. And I hate putting on cold cream during the cold weather. I have tried a few GlamGlow products and they are sometimes hit and miss. I am excited to try their Gentlebubble cleanser. I think the packaging. I bought quite a few things that I am super excited to try. Did you get anything during the holiday season you are excited to try?
