Technically, these are empties I’ve been hoarding since October (minus the Rip-Van-Winkle status old makeup items I chucked way before in an attempt to spring clean)
Once again, I listed my empties according to these two categories.. but these are mostly items I’ve saved. Likely, I liked them enough to keep for months!
- Loves (will/already have repurchased)
- Likes (likes enough to use it again someday)
- Underline (already repurchased)
December FS/DS Loves!
- Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum (Saves me from flaking skin)
- Soap&Glory Smoothie Breakfast Scrub (Best body exfoliator. Smells like heaven.)
- Dior Diorshow Iconic Mascara (One of the few mascaras that doesn’t give me panda eyes)
- L’oreal Hydrafresh Moisturizing Cream (Moisturizer that doesn’t feel greasy or peel when applying makeup)
- E Nature Birch Juice Hydro Sleeping Pack (great sleeping mask)
- It’s Skin Powder 10 Formula Gf Effector (great essence)
December FS/DS Likes!
- Etude Hydro Glow on Primer (perfect for glowy makeup. non-greasy)
- Davines Love Shampoo (unlike other Davines shampoos, the smell is great)
- Su:m37 Essence (costly but good)
- Nexxus Therappe Shampoo (smells delicious and doesn’t dry my hair out)
- Maui Moisture Shampoo Hydrate + Shea Butter (hydrating. smells great.)
- Tata Harper Clarifying Mask (smells great and works as an okay exfoliator)
- Lush Rose Jam Bath Gel (smells like a confectionary)

These came wrapped individually in plastic covers.
The pouch they came in was kind of meh.
The details are drop-dead gorgeous. Each symbol holds the house motto, with the exception of the “Hand of the King” symbol.
The set includes (but is not limited to) a flat thick liner brush, tapered blending, flat long packing brush, flat shader, and a blending brush.
Here’s the off-white miracle balm that gives in softer than real butter. It …
Here’s a teeny red heart. (Cameo: BH Cosmetics Lip Liner in “Retro”) It’s cute but has to go.
The butter melts into a gentle, oily gel when in contact with warm skin.
B&BW recently had a “Buy-Two-Get-Two-Free” promotion. Plus they had the $10 off $30 deal going on.
I grabbed Eight candles and paid for four. Here’s what I grabbed:
Tried lighting two so far: Lavender & Midnight Blue Citrus.
Dancing light
My August Glam Bag. I resubscribed to Ipsy two weeks ago, and this was the first bag I received.
Shade of TheBalm shadow/luminizer I got: Kuwakaribisha
Swatches. Leftmost is Kuwakaribisha, and the rest are individual swatches of the Hikari bronzer. Cute colors!
I noticed they changed from a pink envelope to a gold one.
Lip samples I’ve accumulated over the months.
And declutter I did. Messy, but compact.
I wanted a lip magnet for ages but could never decide on a shade.
As always, ingredient list.
To be honest, I was never wowed by this design. It reminds me of those seal stamps we use in Korea (called 인감도장), which brings up the imagery of banks and house loans and life that’s too painfully HD realistic.
But that color… that sumptuous color. And the way it feels when the applicator touches your skin… erased all my doubts about the design.
The pointed doe-foot applicator is sharp enough for detailed work.
Well. Here’s another miserable fail. These aren’t dupes, but … similar color groups. They go well together. Let’s leave it at that.
Comparison with another favorite shade: “YSL Vinyl Cream Lip Stain in 412 Rose Mix.”
Perfect daily color.
