1. Carmex Everyday Soothing Lip Balm- ($1, drugstores)- This stuff is literally holy grail for me! It literally saves my lips from being a dry, cracked mess in the winter time. This is something that I will already repurchase. I literally have another tube of this stuff in my purse right now.

2. Maybelline The Falsies Flared Mascara- ($5.94, drugstores)- I absolutely love this mascara. This is my 6th or 7th or 8th tube of this stuff? (Once you repurchase something so many times, it's kinda hard to keep track of the number.) This mascara lengthens my lashes and adds a tiny bit of volume. This is something that I would repurchase again. It's one of my favorite mascaras, but I love to rotate mascaras.

3. Rimmel Stay Matte Powder (Translucent)- ($4.99, drugstores)- Can I just say that this stuff lasts forever? I believe it took me 10 months to go through this powder. It does add a matte finish to your makeup without looking too cakey. However, this product alone will not keep you matte all day. It keeps me matte solely for about 3-4 hours before the finish of my foundation begins to break through the powder. However, this combined with the Rimmel Stay Matte Primer works wonderfully for me and keeps me matte all day. When it's all said and done, I did repurchase this powder to wear in conjunction with the primer.

4. Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm (Grape Vine)- ($3.99, drugstores)- I absolutely loved this product! It's the best tinted lip balm that I've ever tried. This lip balm was more hydrating than the Baby Lips in Quenched. The lip balm gave a sheer berry-toned color on my lips which was perfect for applying to go to school/work. It added just the right amount of color and moisture while looking like I'm not trying too hard (which apparently the whole effortless look is a thing?) I definitely would repurchase this in the future.

5. Wet 'N Wild Color Icon Pencil (Pretty in Mink)- ($0.99, drugstores)- I believe that this is the 3rd one of these pencils that I've been through. I use these to fill in my eyebrows. It will smudge if you don't set it with a brow gel. It's an expensive way to fill in your eyebrows (which I absolutely hate doing by the way). I've been interested in trying different brow products lately but this is something that is tried and true that I know is going to work. As for the moment, I'll keep repurchasing this. Buuuuut the makeup addict in me is like, let's try something new and pretty! (makeup addicts everywhere: I know you know that feeling.)

6. ELF Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick (Summer Nights)- ($2, eyeslipsface.com, select drugstores)- Can I just say that this product this product was almost perfect besides 2 things? crappy pigmentation and glitter mania (product swatched below). This product had a minty smell to it- I loved  that. It gives your lips a tingling sensation as if it is going to plump your lips- I loved that. However, like I mentioned, I didn't like the lack of pigmentation and the INSANE amount of glitter in the product, like straight glitter. I hate glitter on my lips. I would be curious to try this product if I found a shade in a satin or creme formula. However, I don't think I would be so eager to try it so soon.

Total Monetary Value: $18.91

TADAAAA! This is it for my makeup empties for the months of January/February. I'll have my March makeup empties post up in about a month. I'll be saving my makeup empties throughout the year for a compilation of makeup empties video. However, I won't be doing reviews in that video because they'll all be reviewed throughout the year.
