Skincare (7)

Clinique Take the Day off Balm this is my favorite eye makeup remover of all time.

Repurchase: Yes

Caudalie Resveratrol-Lift Instant Firming Serum I don’t think this does anything but I like traveling with them because they are the perfect amount for a trip and I can mentally feel like I am doing something.

Repurchase: No

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Oil Control Moisturizer this was not very moisturizing and a bit sticky.

Repurchase: No

Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protector Lotion 50+ SynchroShield this is one of my favorite sunscreens it feels really smooth on my skin it is a bit silconey feeling but not terrible.

Repurchase: Yes

Earth Therapeutics Collagen Cleansing Facial Towelettes Travel Size these were very small and not super wet, but perfect size for traveling.

Repurchase: No

Random (4)

Fur Wash Cloth this was really nice I used it as a quick cleanup during a long hot day and it was effective.

Repurchase: Maybe, I don’t know if they are expensive

Sweet & Shimmer Brush Cleansing Wipes I like these for cleaning my brushes when I’m traveling so I don’t have to pack to many. I have a good stock of these so I won’t need them for a long time.

Repurchase: In the future.

Degree MotionSense Dry Spray in Ultraclear good deodorant but this got a little cakey which I didn’t love.

Repurchase: Maybe

Everyone Hand Sanitizer Wipes in Coconut + Lemon these smelled so good and they didn’t leave my hands sticky or dry these were so good.

Repurchase: Yes

Home Scents (3)

FCS Wish Upon a Star Charcoal Whipped Soap this is one of those times where half done is being is counting as used up I hated this it was really thick and sticky and hard to wash off my hands like it really had to be scrubbed off. It also left a lot of grey black mess in my sink that was a pain to clean up.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Coconut Lime Breeze this was too light in scent.

Repurchase: No

FCS Wax Brittle in Snuggly Duckling I melted through half of this but the scent just gave me such a headache it was so overpowering and it was a clean linen scent which isn’t my favorite. I just couldn’t handle it anymore.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (2)

Nyx Plump Right Back Plumping Serum Primer this was a good primer it held on to my make up alright and it made my makeup look really nice. But this didn’t make my skin like that great in the sense that this can’t be worn alone.

Repurchase: Maybe

KVD Vegan Beauty (Formerly Kat Von D Beauty) Go Big or Go Home Mascara this was awful. Really gunky and clumpy and heavy and incredibly hard to take off.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (7)

Dial Spring Water Body Wash I hated this. The scent is just not for me and the body wash is a bit sticky.

Repurchase: NO, I just need to get through the others I have

Dew of the Gods Froze Mini Body Scrub this was meh. It smelled ok it was a little mush for a scrub the packaging was weird. Why is it blessed by Buddhist monks that’s weird.

Repurchase: No

Osea Undarian Algae Body Oil this was a nice oil absorbed well made my skin look and feel nice I don’t care for the scent or the price point though.

Repurchase: No

Ulta Beauty Bubble Bath in Cinnamon Swirl this wasn’t terribly bubbly but the smell was nice.

Repurchase: No

Ulta Beauty Bath Confetti in Hot Cocoa this was gross. It smelled really good, but it didn’t dissolve in the water so it was a real mess in in the tub.

Repurchase: No

Spongelle in Pomegranate I love these for travel so convenient for traveling sponge and soap all together. I wasn’t a huge fan of this scent it was really over sweet to the point where it smelled off.

Repurchase: No

FCS Shampoo Bar in Fin.Noggin.Duuude I use these as shaving soap when I travel they work decent for that because they lather up and have a bit of grit to help my hair stand up.

Repurchase: I won’t buy these on purpose but I’ll use them

Perfume (4)

Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Perfume I didn’t like this it was too girly smelling.

Repurchase: No

Skylar Vanilla Sky Perfume this smelled really good I loved the vanilla scent.

Repurchase: Yes

Skylar Coconut Cove Perfume I almost liked this I feel like I would want to try it again. It was more like a floral coconut then a sweet and I prefer sweet.

Repurchase: No

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Forever I thought I would love this and I did not. Just not for me.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (4)

Drybar Sparkling Soda Shine Spray I really like this shine spray and the scent of it is so good. It is pretty dry for a shine spray so if you have oily hair but want a shine spray this might be the one for you. I really liked this I would use it again but I have a few other shine sprays that I am trying right now.

Repurchase: Maybe

Marajo Cleansing Cream this is fine but the size is much to small for my hair so it was not effective.

Repurchase: No

Marajo Deep Butter Treatment I used to really like this but I feel like after having gone through a full size my doesn’t like it anymore.

Repurchase: No

Repurchase: No

Declutter (6)

Revlon Cloud Blotted Lip Color in Cherries on a Cloud this was not what I thought this would be it was more of a liquidy barely there color that didn’t stay on and not what I was looking for at all.

Beauty by Popsugar Be Racy Liquid Velvet Lip in Berry Nice I have this color a million times over and this formula just wasn’t that special.

YSL Rouge Pur Couture Satin Lipstick I don’t like the formula of this it is way to creamy and shiny for me. The color is also very baby pink which also is not for me.

First Aid Beauty Pores Be Gone Matte Primer this had not affect or benefit whatsoever.

Complex Culture Double Dimension Dual Ended Eyeliner Pencil in Matte Deep Plum/ Metallic Pearl this was hard and scratchy and didn’t deposit a lot of color.

Coloured Raine Focal Point Glow Lighters in Selfie this was just unimpressive I have so many highlighters that this was too boring basic and the same as others I have that I like better. It wasn’t bad I just have so many.

Avene Solaire UV Mineral Multi-Defense Tinted Sunscreen Fluid SPF 50 I did not like this it was really watery and sticky and felt tacky on my skin.

Repurchase: No

StriVectin Multiaction Super B Oil I really really liked this it really made my skin look and feel healthy and glowy but it still needed to be paired with a retinol and being $72 that really sucks because that’s expensive.

Repurchase: Probably

Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel this made my skin soft but it also burned a little I feel pretty ambivalent towards it.

Repurchase: No

Skin & Co Truffle Therapy Polishing Micro-Exfoliating Truffle Face Gommage this was a nice enough physical face scrub I enjoyed using it but it wasn’t anything special.

Repurchase: No

Clinique For Men Super Energizer Anti-Fatigue Hydrating Concetrate this was meh. It was fine it didn’t break me out as bad as other Clinique sunscreens I have tried but it did a little towards the end of using it up. It was pretty white cast heavy but it did eventually absorb in.

Repurchase: No

Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 I loved this. It was a matt gel and it was very soft and smooth and clear on my skin.

Repurchase: Yes

Beekman 1802 Buttermilk Makeup Cleansing Balm this just isn’t that good. It doesn’t break down really waterproof or really heavy makeup and it doesn’t sting my eyes but it does leave like a film on them that I don’t like. I really loved the packaging though the design is really clever with the scoop acting like a handle because it attaches to the top.

Repurchase: No

Random (4)

Axe Phoenix Antiperspirant I hate this I have one more I got them for free I use them to travel but I feel like they smell so strong but also don’t work that well.

Repurchase: No

Secret Clinical Stress Response Deodorant this was fine but not my favorite. I need to circle back to degree it’s been a while they are my favorite but they are expensive.

Home Scents (5)

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Black Cherry Seltzer this had like no scent whatsoever.

Repurchase: No

Ulta Foaming Fresh Hand Soap in Verbena this scent was kinda not there but this soap lasted forever. Every time I was like ah there’s nothing left in this bottle I would get another month out of it.

Repurchase: Maybe

Lucky Charms Candle the scent was good but the throw really got weaker and weaker over time. Also the burn quality was pretty terrible I had to  keep resetting the wick because it would float away.

Repurchase: No

Yankee Candle Wax Melt in Spiced Orange this basically had no scent but it was also pretty old.

Repurchase: No

FCS Car Freshener in Explore I loved this I am sad to see it go. It smelled nice and tropical and fruity.

Repurchase: Yes

Lip (1)

Natural Pure Honest Lip Scrub in Bridgerton this was fine. But this brand is kinda sketch it comes in one of my boxes and the company “exists” but you can’t buy anything from them. It gives me weird front or shell company vibes.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (1)

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara I like this mascara fine its really good and really volumizing.

Repurchase: Yes

Lotion (1)

Moroccanoil Body Lotion this had a very strong musky warm ambery scent it wasn’t unpleasant but also not my favorite. This was a really thick lotion but it did absorb well it was nice.

Repurchase: Maybe in a different scent.

Bodycare (5)

FCS Body Wash in Brightest Day Darkest Night this was unimpressive. I liked the color though.

Repurchase: No

Wet ‘n’ Wild Life’s a Beach Scrub this was a really great scrub it had a great consistency I wish it was a bigger tub or not limited edition.

Repurchase: Yes

Tree Hut Shaving Oil in Watermelon this is forever my favorite it gives me such a close smooth shave and leaves my legs all smooth and shiny.

Repurchase: Yes

Victoria Secret Cloud Wash in Bare Vanilla this was a really nice warm vanilla and the foam was really soft and nice I really liked it but there was not much in here I went through it really fast.

Repurchase: Yes

Nic Nacks Massage Oil in Ignite My Love this was a great body oil it was moisturizing it smelled nice I would buy it again but it would be hard to like track down since this came in a very random subscription box that sorta does its own thing.

Repurchase: I would

Perfume (2)

Valentino Born in Roma Coral Fantasy I wanted this so bad I loved the way it smelled in the bottle but I don’t think it wore really great on me.

Repurchase: No

Versace Bright Crystal Perfume this didn’t smell as good on me as it did in the bottle it didn’t wear well on me personally it turned a bit sour.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (3)

Verb Glossy Conditioner this was just impossible to get out of the bottle and I don’t think it did anything special for my hair.

Laura Geller Baked Original Highlighter in French Vanilla this is too subtle and too light for my skin tone.

Dark & Lovely Blowout Silky Slip Blow-dry Cream this made my hair sticky.
