Speaking of fix plus, I found a travel sized bottle hidden away and tried to start using it up. Remembered that I didn't like it, I really don't feel like it does anything for me at all.
Operation "Use it up"! All welcome!!

It didn't take me that long to use my travel size one up, i used it after I applied my makeup everyday to set/take down any powderyness etc. I am glad I tried it but I am with you in that I wasn't convinced. I think I might try a skindinnavia spray once I am out for my current cheap one. I am looking forward to posting my totals this month, everything is running out and I am loving using stuff up at the moment...sooo motivating! I might come unstuck soon when i have to open new full sizes which take a while to use up! I am also having a determined effort to use up some of the those little samples and stuff particularly the perfume ones!

I am almost done with Naked Lunch. Will probably not repurchase until I am done with Jete.

Doing very well and even managed to take the makeup I am trying to use with me on my recent trip. Some eyeshadows just don't want to die! I have finished one though, and by the end of the month I should finish a benefit lipstick/balm (One of the old ones with the stick in the tube, not a brush ending). A few other small things have bit the dust as well, will take a picture at the end of the month.

That's good you're seeing progress! I know some products seem like they'll never end! Im focusing on using up my tastitint lipbalms from the xmas set. Apparently if you take all four back with the box that counts as a b2m I still have the box but not the plastic insert so ill see how that goes when the time comes. I've given up on mintessence as I don't like the taste, im on sugared vanilla but it seems so drying on me :/ Anyone else notice this with tastitints?

You don't need the plastic insert or the box, because they're considered secondary packaging. Just all four minis to count as one empty. Just an fyi :wink:

That sounds awful! Can you mix them with other foundations to tone the orange down? I got a little to heavy handed with my brush and broke my Pink Buttercream today. I had about an inch of pan showing and now it's below half. Is it bad that I was kind of excited about it breaking because I wasted some product? Don't get me wrong, if I loved it I would have considered scraping the powder off the floor but for something I'm just trying to finish, it felt like a happy coincidence.

If the matchmaster is a just bought can you take it back to the mac counter and exchange for a better colour match or a refund ? Have a look at how much is left in the other bottles, you may be better off B2M them for a lippie and getting 1 new foundation that does work from there or something ? Particularly if everything no longer matches you need to go and get some samples before buying anything outright if you can to try to prevent mismatches. sometimes we have to accept when things just really don't work that letting go can be better than forcing ourselves to use them up. I am currently undergoing the 30 day lippie challenge from the low buy thread and as a result i have learnt so much about what works and what doesn't that something are just going in a "get rid of " bag and won't be used up because the formula doesn't work!

I have never mixed foundations before and im not sure how that would work being that they are all diff formulas.That sounds awful! Can you mix them with other foundations to tone the orange down? I got a little to heavy handed with my brush and broke my Pink Buttercream today. I had about an inch of pan showing and now it's below half.

You are absolutly right about finding what works for you. Once I realized the MM didnt work I actually went to get a sample of F&B and I wasnt too thrilled with that either. I just have to find what works for my skin and it maybe just paying a little more or less to figure that out. I actually thought about just B2M the SFF and Studio Tech being that they above 50% used. thanks for the help!!!Quote:Originally Posted by meker

I finished my vitalumiere aqua yesterday.. all of it. it spit little droplets. I am using the one I have in the cream formula.. and it feels wrong on me. it's drying to my skin.. so I have to hit the ground and find one soon which I love..
also finished an EL moisture serum .. gone.
I rarely finish any colour products.

Desperately hoping I finish my prolong wear foundation and bourjois healthy mix serum this month. I have so many foundations that are ok in terms of color but the formula isn't quite what I want. Really want to finish these so I can maybe warrant a purchase of a new one. Finished an Avene extremely gentle moisturiser today, getting through skin care very quickly - my origins drink up intensive mask also only has a couple of uses left which excites me
