nightmareb4

How is it September like summer flew the hell by I’m not ready for fall at all! I am still really lagging behind my goals alot but I am really starting to see a slowing down of products in my life which is good. Also there is going to be some weird discrepancies in the total counts of my collection because there are some things I have chose to remove from the list with out actually removing from my collection and some behind the scenes decluttering with out actually having anything so say or report about them.

Skincare (5)

Skin Inc My Daily Dose of Uplift I don’t know that this did a single thing besides look kinda cute.

Repurchase: No

Repurchase: Maybe

First Aid Beauty Coconut Micellar Makeup Melter this was not good this did not take my makeup off at all.

Repurchase: No

Dermedicine Retinol Detox Mask this was fine my skin felt nice after but I wouldn’t buy it.

Repurchase: No

Supergoop Defense Refresh Setting Mist SPF 50 this is my favorite sunscreen setting spray I love it. It doesn’t mess up my makeup it isn’t greasy or sticky it doesn’t break me out.

Repurchase: Yes

Random (2)

Oh K! Exfoliating Watermelon & Citrus Foot Peel this has been ok my feet are peeling but I wish it was stronger like a more aggressive peeling and softening effect.

Repurchase: yes

Dove Go Fresh Pomegranate Antiperspirant Spray this did not work that great and it ran out super fast.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (6)

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Toasted Pineapple Marshmallow this was not very long lasting at all.

Repurchase: No

Free Baby Tutti Fucking Fruity Candle I really enjoyed this candle it was from a small business and I really wish the name was on it so I could buy more.

Repurchase: I would

Target Candle in Chocolate Cupcakes this was eh it was fine at first had an ok scent throw but the end burned really sooty and smelled not great.

Repurchase: No

FCS Linen Spray in Spring Court I really liked this and I really love these books and I sprayed it while reading the books and it was really just a great experience.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Wallflower Single Wick Candle Lemon + Rosemary this was really nice I like scents like this.

Repurchase: Yes

Yankee Candle Wax Melt in Vanilla Lime this was ok. It wasn’t super potent.

Repurchase: No

Lip (1)

Basic Beauty Lip Oil in Summer I hated this it was so sticky and messy and tasted weird.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (5)

Girlactik Precise Eyeliner Marker this was not the best it was really smudgey and not really long wearing.

Repurchase: No

Colourpop Crème Gel Liner in Swerve this was a very standard retractable eyeliner not as long wearing or pigmented as the colored ones.

Repurchase: No

Tarte Sex Kitten Liquid Eyeliner hate this it does not go smoothly over eyeshadow it isn’t as deep black as I like it also draws a really thick like which is neither negative or positive just something to note. It does wear pretty well but like I need better performance over eyeshadow.

Repurchase: No

It Cosmetics Superhero Mascara I hate this mascara it is too dry and does nothing for my lashes.

Repurchase: No

Tarte Maneater Mascara this was not my favorite it was really wet and heavy on my lashes and I had to really work with it to get it look pretty and I don’t want to work that hard I just want my lashes to look long and full and fluttery.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (2)

Shea Yeleen Rich Shea Body Cream in Coconut Melon this was really nice good lotion smelled nice didn’t melt in my car all good things.

Repurchase: No, I have so much lotion

FCS Goat Milk & Honey Cream in Bee Kind this was nice very thick but you can very much tell it was goat milk and honey so that could be a bit off putting for some people.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bodycare (3)

Tree Hut Scrub in Candied Lemon I liked this the lemon was great it’s a good scrub.

Repurchase: Yes

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Shower Oil in Liquor is Quicker I love these for after shaving they make me all smooth and glossy this smelled great I will say this got kinda hard to spray at the end and I had to just dump it in my hand after the last few uses.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Shower Gel in Lemon Pomegranate this was great smelled really good I love lemon stuff.

Repurchase: Yes

Perfume (2)

FCS Perfume Oil in Friends Forever this was nice it was sweet smelled like honey I enjoyed it.

Repurchase: No but it was nice.

YSL Libre EDT I have zero memory of using this so it really didn’t leave much of an impression I guess.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (2)

Phyto Joba Moisturizing Shampoo hated this it was so thick and hard to get out of the bottle and made my hair feel stringy and stripped.

Repurchase: No

Pantene Sheer Volume Foam Conditioner this was alright. The foam was weird it felt like it wasn’t coating my hair but it actually was easier to coat my hair then regular conditioner so that was just a weird experience it was good though. Didn’t care for the scent at all though.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (3)

Tresluce Beauty Ready to Bounce Cream Blush in Date Night this was just not a good color for me.

Half Caked Mirror Mirror Highlighter in Fortune Faded I just opened this up to use it and it was randomly shattered into a million pieces with is strange because there is no reason that should have happened but it is what it is.

FCS OCD Hand Sanitizer in Magic Mirror I don’t like the glitter hand sanitizers.

I think this is the least amount of skincare I have ever used in a month. Only two categories grew this month and overall the amount went down which is super fantastic.

Ipsy August 2022 Subscription Box Review

nightmareb4
Ipsy Bag

Cost: $12 monthly, $132 annual

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: Every month Ipsy sends out a cute makeup bag of samples and full size items. You can review your bag for points that you can trade in for reward items. The rewards change often and the range between 300 points and 1000 points. You can get around 95 points every month.

If you want to subscribe you can subscribe HERE and skip the waitlist. That is my referral link so I do get points to spend but I’m not an affiliate I don’t make any money or anything it’s just the same link any subscriber would get.

You can choose one item in your bag every month which I really like. I will say the quality of the actual bag every month isn’t as consistent or as good as they have been in years past.

Well this is my last Ipsy since I have decided to cancel. I just am not feeling the stuff I get and its feeling more like clutter.

Glow On 5th Beauty Skincare Headband

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $12

This was my choice for the month because it’ll be a good thing to keep on hand for like little giftbag type things.

Jazmine Beauty Luxe Lash Mascara

Full Size: 8 ml

Full Size Cost: $24

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $15

Yay another mascara I totally needed and wanted that.

Briogeo Scalp Revival Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo

Full Size: 236 ml

Full Size Cost: $42

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $5.34

I don’t usually like Briogeo products but this has had me interested for awhile I do like a good scalp scrub so I will actually be happy to give this a go eventually I only do a scalp scrub like once every 4 or 5 months so it will take me awhile.

Nomad Cosmetics America’s Parks Eyeshadow

Full Size: 22.5 g

Full Size Cost: $39

Sample Size: 1.5 g

Value: $2.60

Well normally I really liked Nomad shadows and this color story in pay is one of my favorites for a 2 shadow look but this just swatched really unimpressively not at all as smooth as I am used to from Nomad or as pigmented or true to color. Not super happy.

Patch Holic Aqua Plus+ Soothing Mask

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $3.74

Patch Holic Aqua Plus+ Moisturizing Mask

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $3.74

Sheet masks were always some of my favs to get in Ipsy so it is nice to end on that after so many years.

Skincare (6)

It Cosmetics Hello Results Wrinkle-Reducing Daily Retinol Serum-in-Cream I really love this cream I love that I can get retinol in my moisturizer and that it doesn’t irritate my skin it isn’t to heavy or too light. It lasts a long time I really really love this.

Repurchase: Yes

C’est Moi Gentle Makeup Removing Wipes these were not good they were not super moist or that great at taking makeup off.

Repurchase: No

Beekman 1802 Milk Primer I hated this it was so so sticky and left such a terrible white cast. I just used it up as regular sunscreen as well as face sunscreen to use it up quicker. The pump mechanism also really sucked the tube didn’t go all the wat to the bottom so it would suck up air and then splurt out every where it was so messy and gross.

Repurchase: No

FCS & To All a Good Night Jelly Sleeping Mask this was fine I kinda just used it as a heavy gel moisturizer.

Repurchase: No

Exuviance Deep Clean Aha Cleanser this was fine. Nothing that special I just don’t care that much about expensive cleansers.

Repurchase: No

Leaders Pore-Scaling Black Aqua this is a very generic sheet mask its fine. I really am just trying to use sheet masks up I just always don’t want to It feels like work even though it isn’t.

Home Scents (2)

Bath and Body Works Candle in Hot Fudge Drizzle this was good this was chocolately but not super strong.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Bright Christmas Morning this was fine it was more bright then christmasy but also I feel like I can smell wallflowers for like the first 2 weeks and then the next 3 or 4 weeks I can’t smell them at all.

Repurchase: Maybe

Lip (3)

Chapstick Pink Lemonade this is like my favorite flavor of chapstick I really love it.

Repurchase: Never

Ulta Beauty Pixar Toy Story Body Wash in Lemon Meringue this was great I loved the scent and it was a good bodywash.

Repurchase: It was limited edition

Ulta Beauty Pixar Monsters Inc Body Wash in Salted Caramel this wasn’t as good as the other one it had absolutely no scent.

Repurchase: No

Repurchase: No

Perfume (1)

FCS Fine Fragrance Mist in Banana Split this was fine it was sweet but it wore off really quick it was a good bumming around the house perfume.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (4)

Maui Moisture Sea Minerals Shampoo

Maui Moisture Sea Minerals Conditioner

These were not moisturizing enough for my hair despite the claims and these bottles were supper annoying to squeeze.

Repurchase: No

Repurchase: No

FCS Hair Oil in The Greatest Thing I really love these hair oils they make my hair soft and smell good.

Repurchase: Yes

Declutter (6)

Nudestix Nudies All Over Face Bronzer Color in Bondi Bae this is too orange and too light.

Undone Beauty Water Bronzer in 230 Amber this was just weird and patchy and hard to use the color was fine but it was a pain in the ass to work with.

Pacifica Set & Protect Matte Sheer Setting Mist this was sticky and the sprayer was awful and no thank you.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face Mist SPF 55 I am allergic to this so I will have to pass this on to some one else which is a shame because it did feel fine nice and light on the skin.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Crush not into this color but I do like the formula.

Pink Lipps Lumi Balm Lip Tint in Dream this is just a bright pink glossy balm situation that is just not my vibe at all.

Another bad month that didn’t hit goals. Not going well this year. more categories then not this month stayed flat or decreased so that is really good.
