February is over, meaning I get to purge last month's trash! I used up a bunch of products this month, I'm pretty proud of myself. I still have a huge backlog, but every little bit helps! There's a good mix of makeup, skincare, and haircare this month. I've also got my totals towards the Reverse Rouge Challenge further on in this post!

| Lots of trash! |
I finished quite a few mascaras that I had let linger for a while. Here are some highlights:
- YSL The Shock mascara - I really didn't like this. It was heavily scented, which I really don't understand for a mascara. The formula was also really heavy. Just a total nope for me.
- Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect mascara - I really, really loved this! The tube is cute, but the mascara really delivered The formula wasn't overly wet, which I happen to like. The brush was dense but not huge, allowing me to get all of the lashes on my small eyes. The best part..it's less than five bucks! I can definitely see myself repurchasing this one, I can see why so many people like it.
- IT Cosmetics Superhero mascara - I liked this at first, until I saw it was flaking a bit. Drier formula, non obnoxious brush, and it didn't flake too badly, so overall it wasn't bad.
In terms of skincare, I finished a couple staple items. Skinfood Black Sugar Perfect cleansing oil was really nice, but I decided to purchase another new cleansing oil to try. The Skinfood one was thin and easy to spread and did a good job at removing about 85% of my makeup (heavy liner needed a bit more help.) The new one I'm trying is cheaper, but the Skinfood one isn't super expensive.
I also finished another Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm mini, this is like my second or third. Decent eye cream, love getting minis of it! They last ages. I also finished up another package of Simple makeup wipes, these are staples in my gym bag.
The three makeup items I finished are definite favorites! MAC Fix+ is some magic water, I tell you. (I count it as a makeup item since i don't use it without makeup on my face.) I wish I could pool all my empty bottles for Back2Mac. I had a backup of this waiting. There's a matte version coming out, and I can't wait to try it. Finally finished my bottle of MUFE Ultra HD Foundation and I'm debating repurchasing even though I really love it, mostly because I have a ton of other base products I need to get through. (Also because it is $43.) I finished up a mini Bite Beauty 022 lip pencil and I purchased a full size of it. It's the perfect go-to pinky nude shade, and I always top it with a gloss. It applies smoothly with no tugging, and provides great coverage for just being a lip liner. I'm happy I was able to finish it, and I'm happier to have found another HG product!
Just one haircare product, but I've had it for a while! SheaMoisture's Weightless Texture Spray lived up to its name. It didn't weigh down my hair and gave me some light texture. It also had a light, fruity scent that was pleasant. I think I prefer a product that gives a little more texture, though I had no issues finishing this up.

If we don't count purchases, and include destashes, I've already completed my Reverse Rouge Challenge! That's so crazy...just makes me realize exactly how much stuff I own. Counting purchases, I should surpass Reverse Rouge by the end of March. If we just go by empties alone, I'm almost halfway done with the challenge. I'm excited to see the totals at the end of the year!
