I did requailify for Platinum status at Ulta during the month of March, but not due to my purchases! I got my hair colored last month, and my husband gets his hair cut at Ulta every two weeks, which adds up quickly. I don't see myself hitting the new Diamond level ($1200 spent!) this year, though.
Banila Co. Miss Flower & Mr. Honey essence oil - I had this laying in my stash for ages, so of course when I finally start using it and enjoy it, I find out it's discontinued. This was a very light yet hydrating oil, perfect for mixing into a light moisturizer such as the Clinique gel. It also smelled like honey!
Dear by Enprani Moistfull Booskin toner - I read a lot of good reviews about this, but I wasn't sold on it. The toner was easy to layer and absorbed nicely, but I hated the overly floral smell. I finished the mini, but I won't be buying a full size.
Glow Recipe Green Tea Serum Toner - I LOVED this! This toner is lightweight and absorbs easily, making it great for layering. It had a fresh scent and didn't end up being overly sticky. I bought this one at Target, and will most likely get a second one from there, too. I used this a lot in the mornings, as green tea really helps soothe any redness I may have.
L'Oreal Lash Paradise mascara - People RAVED about this mascara, so I bought it. Apparently it's a dupe for Too Faced's Better Than Sex mascara, which I didn't like when I tried it. I didn't like this one either, but $9.99 isn't as bad as the Too Faced price tag. I found that this formula flaked on me, and I didn't like the size of the brush.
Lancôme Monsieur Big mascara mini - Another new mascara that everyone but me seemed to enjoy! This one clumped a ton on me, and I found it hard to get good separation of my lashes. I'm not mad, I honestly hate when I fall in love with expensive mascaras as they need to be replaced so often.
Gold Bond hand cream - I already wrote about it earlier this month for my March Favorites, but I'm going to reiterate that I LOVE this hand cream! It's cheap, hydrating, and sinks in quickly. What's not to love?
Sulwhasoo Snowise Brightening sheet mask - I had been given a couple of these and tossed them into my mask stash. Finally decided to use one, and I absolutely loved it. I'm so mad. These are $13 each. There is no need for me to use sheet masks that expensive. But the fit of the mask was good, the fabric was thin and clingy, and my skin was so bright afterward. Maybe I'll sell a chunk of my soul for a box of these. We'll see.

Total March Empties + Destashed = $360.80
YTD Empties = $749.35
YTD Empties - Purchases = $366.85
YTD Empties + Destashed = $1,861.99
YTD Empties + Destashed - Purchases = $1,479.49
I'll be completing the challenge on empties alone (not counting purchases against me) by the halfway mark should things keep up! I'll double the challenge total combining empties and destashed products even with my purchases being discounted by the end of the year. I'm really happy with my progress - usually by the end of April I've already requalified for both Platinum and VIB Rouge, and I'm not yet close to even being VIB. Here's hoping April brings even more empties!
