This month I used up some full size products that I’ve been using for a while, so I feel a sense of accomplishment! Also, I’m including at the end two products that I’ve hit pan on but I’m tossing because I’m not using them, and they’re over a year old. Here’s what I used up: …

Farmhouse Fresh Mighty Tighty Turmeric & Banana Tightening Mask
Turmeric is in everything these days including a new mask from natural skincare brand, Farmhouse Fresh.
