To me, this month (June) is significant progress since last June. I think mid-last year I was panning about 11 products a month (which was good because I had a lot). But now, 3 products and one perfume sample shows me I’ve got less to pan, so I’m doing it at a slower pace. And that less money is being spent on impulse buys.
That makes me happy.
Bondi Sands Fragrance Free Body Sunscreen: Holy Grail.
Beauty of Joseon Radiance Cleansing Balm: Holy Grail.
Glossier You Soie Sample: Delicious. Smells like You on vacation.
Dove Sensitive Soap: Holy Grail.
Geek & Gorgeous Jelly Joker Cleanser: Liked it a lot and would repurchase, probably.

Still working on this one. It’s Revlon lipstick in ‘Secret Club’. I don’t mind the color and try to apply it at least two or three times a day. Lipsticks take forever. Any questions please feel free to ask!
When I first joined this sub, I was fascinated with beauty products and really got a dopamine hit from even just browsing what people have used. I remember being slightly too into it and thinking that I was so sickened by my over consumption that I wished one day I’d be able to come here and be bored looking at products.
Well, not that it’s 100% boring because I still love seeing people’s progress, how people here support each other, etc. I’m still interested in what people’s experiences were and what works and doesn’t.
But being fascinated by all of the pretty packaging and magical promises of the products is gone! I’m so thankful that I can look at people’s monthlies now and just see products in jars.
Im interested to know who else has had this experience.
Any questions feel free to ask!
