Well its been a month. I can’t even get into it everything about this year has sucked I have no energy but I used up a ton of shit this month so lets go.

Skincare (14)

Aceology Probiotic Restoring Biodegradable Mask this was ok. It felt good but the eye holes were too small. I don’t think this did anything unique for the price but I liked it.

Repurchase: No

Kiehl’s Super Multi-Corrective Soft Cream I really liked this it was really soft. It was not super hydrating though.

Repurchase: Maybe

Rael Beauty Miracle Patch these weren’t that great they didn’t suck up much or speed up healing.

Repurchase: No

Olay Cleansing Melts I didn’t like this they were clumpy and stick and didn’t wash off well.

Repurchase: No

Banilla Clean It Zero Ceramide Cleansing Balm this didn’t sting my eyes which is cool but it wouldn’t take off really stubborn makeup.

Repurchase: No

Good Molecules Lightweight Daily Moisturizer this was fine it was nice enough.

Repurchase: Maybe

Clarins Double Serum I never like this I had it I used it that’s all.

Repurchase: No

It Cosmetics Confidence in Your Beauty Sleep Serum this was awful it was such a gross sticky texture.

Repurchase: No

Beauty Stat Universal C Skin Refiner this was fine I like it. I prefer a more serumy vitamin c and this is more like a moisturizer.

Repurchase: Maybe

Strivectin SD Advanced Intensive Concentrate for Wrinkles & Strech Marks this is fine its not that impressive or my favorite for the price I would buy something else.

Repurchase: No

Sonage Luster Eye Crème this was fine a little thick not my thing but once I use up my current eye cream I officially have no eye creams left and I can buy one of my choosing and that is just so amazing to me.

Repurchase: Yes

Sunday Riley B3 Nice 10% Niacinamide Serum I normally love a niacinamide serum but this was highly disappointing it was thick and didn’t really do anything.

Repurchase: No

Caudalie Grape Water this just felt like water for double the price of the other sprays I would use.

Repurchase: No

Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil I really hated this I hated the texture it did not play well with the rest of my skincare it was sticky. I also really don’t like that they dye it blue it leaves your skin looking blue which is weird. I think it worked but other retinols work just as well and feel way better.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (5)

Cowboy and Cricket Wax Melt in Muad’dib so at first I didn’t like the scent of this but the more I used it the more it grew on me and its really ended up filling the room and smelling pretty comforting.

Repurchase: Yes

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Book Loft this was awful it had no scent throw what so ever.

Repurchase: No

Dio Candle in Video Store I really hate when I don’t like something from a small business but this just didn’t impress me that much it was small it burned through pretty quick they smell was weird which I figured it would be going into picking it but I just wasn’t impressed with the size, burn time or throw of this candle for the price if it had be 2/3rds of the price I would have been more impressed.

Repurchase: No

Dionis Skin Smoothing Goat Milk Body Lotion I liked that this had retinol in it but it really wasn’t that impressive.

First Aid Beauty Bump Eraser Body Scrub since I don’t really struggle with KP I gave this away to someone who wanted to try it.

Ren Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic some one wanted to try this so I just let them have I don’t use tonics often so it will get more love from someone else.

This month was crazy bad. I used up barely anything and got a ton of new stuff in oops. I did declutter a ton of stuff so that’s cool.

Skincare (5)

Acure Brightening 2% Alpha Arbutin Serum I don’t know that this did anything but I liked the texture.

Repurchase: No

Petrichor Ink Face Cleanser in Sydney this was too creamy for my liking but it smelled nice and it did clean my face. This company I think is out of business now though.

Repurchase: No

Osea Atmosphere Protection Cream this was thick and sticky and I didn’t find it to moisturizing.

Repurchase: No

Sephora Lychee Face Mask very moisturizing smelled nice stayed on well and enough serum to rub on my neck and chest which I appreciate.

Repurchase: Yes

Paula’s Choice Youth -Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 50 I didn’t love this it was super liquidy and a little hard to get out of the tube and to blend in.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (1)

Mugxury Candles Hot Cocoa this was not that great it smelled really good but it burned so smokey like so much black smoke I could only burn this with the window open which is not ideal and didn’t feel super safe.

Repurchase: No

Lip (1)

Trader Joe’s Moisturizing Lip Balm in Vanilla Bean I really liked these flavor and textures were good will buy in the future if they come out with more for sure.

Repurchase: Yes

Bodycare (1)

Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub in Candy Cane I like these scrubs this scent was great.

Repurchase: Yes

Perfume (1)

Vacation By Vacation EDT this did not last long on my skin and somehow didn’t smell as good as the sunscreen did. I am glad I tried it I would have been always curious but it wasn’t a high-quality perfume.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (8)

NudeStix NudeScreen Lip Primer SPF 30 hate this has a really gritty powdery but also slimy slippy texture. It is drying and get every where and it’s just bad.

Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment I have tried this before like on a one off in a foil packet at least once but probably twice and never liked it. This was going to be my last shot with it and omg this might be the worst thing I have ever tried in my whole life first off it is super thick and stick and doesn’t absorb well. Second and more importantly this some how migrated into my eyes with out me noticing and ate through my contacts and cause me a whole shit ton of eye problems. I thought I was crazy stopped using it got myself all better tried it one more time the next day all those problems were back so clearly this product is not good I would not recommend this to literally anyone because that is an insane thing to have happen.

Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink in 405 Guest of Honor I love this formula just not this color its too pink and makes me look a little dead.

Mac Stack Mascara I didn’t like this mascara last month so going to pass this unopened tube on.

Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip in Rose this was sticky and the color did nothing for me.

Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Creme in Mauve this was too much like a slidey cream lipstick and that just isn’t what I am ever looking for.

Joah Wat-a-Matte Liquid Lipstick in Dragon Punch didn’t love the color or application of this.

Adesse New York All Day Lip Creme in Beverly Blvd didn’t love the color or the crème formula and it had that old school lipstick flavor bleh.
