OMG I actually did it for the first time in years I met my goal for the year I got my 10% reduction I am so excited. Official wrap up stats to come in a future post for sure but lets in into December I used up the most stuff this month out of the whole year.

Skincare (14)

Buttah Tea Tree and Aloe Mask Scrub this was a good enough face scrub but nothing special.

Repurchase: No

Honey Jarret Clean Whip Cleanser I don’t really like cream cleansers I feel like they never really get my skin clean and leave a film.

Repurchase: No

Trilogy Microbiome Complexion Renew Serum this was so tiny I can’t say that it did anything.

Repurchase: No

Sally Face Pack this made my face really dry and sticky.

Repurchase: No

Dr. Brandt Micro Dermabrasion Renewing Age-Defying Face Exfoliator this was good I love how fine the grit is.

Repurchase: No its very expensive

Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment I really hated this it was thick and hard to use. I have some samples in a tube so I want to give it one more shot and see if the packaging was the problem and if it isn’t then I will declutter all the samples I have.

Repurchase: No

Perricone MD Smoothing & Brightening Under Eye Cream this was a fine eye cream I liked it I have a hard time believing that it is worth $125 dollars.

Repurchase: No

Clarins One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser this had 2 uses in it but I loved the design of the sample with the little flip top so cute. This was pretty good really fine and scrubby.

Repurchase: No

IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Gel Cream this was fine a little sticky not super hydrating not as good as the retinol one which is my favorite.

Repurchase: No

Aceology Probiotic Restoring Biodegradable Mask I like these masks they feel really comfortable and nourishing.

Repurchase: No, they are expensive

Summer Fridays Midnight Ritual Retinol x2 as far as retinols go this is not a very potent one at all.

Repurchase: No

Codage Masque Micro-Peeling Mask this was pretty good it did leave my skin smoother but also a little dry though.

Repurchase: No

Garnier SkinActive Micellar Makeup Removing Towelettes I really don’t use wipes often it takes me 6 to 8 months to get through a full pack of wipes. I primarily use wipes when I’m traveling and then I will bring mini packs but I like these they are pretty gentle and they stay wet in the package for many months.

Repurchase: Yes

Sweet And Shimmer Unscented Wipes these are fine I have a few packs I just need to use them up.

Repurchase: No

Random (2)

Refreshments Breezy Deodorant in Pacific Fizz this was fine I like a natural deodorant in the winter or when I’m just bopping about at home but not something I would use for activities or in the heat that’s for sure. This is a defunct I think Ipsy brand and I’m not subscribed to that and haven’t been in years so I wouldn’t or couldn’t get this again.

Repurchase: No

Mineral Fusion Nail Polish Remover this was not a good nail polish remover it in no way compares to acetone.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (6)

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Hanukkah this is my favorite scent of wallflower.

Repurchase: Yes

ScentSationals Wax Melt in Pumpkin Apple Muffins this was a surprisingly really great wax melt really great scent throw.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Cookie this was awful no scent throw what so ever.

Repurchase: No

FCS Scent Diffuser in Cabin Fever this was nice kinda sweet glad I used it up.

Repurchase: No

Sand & Fog Winter Berry Candle this was a cute candle but not a great scent throw. And did not burn for a long time at all.

Repurchase: No

Woolzies Essential Oil Blend in Spiced Chai this did smell like chai but the scent went away quick. I am just not an oil girl so as I’m just trying to get through the ones I have and get them moved out.

Repurchase: No

Lip (1)

Carmex Lip Balm this is one of my favorite lip balms I like the flavored ones too.

Repurchase: Yes

Makeup (3)

Benefit Bad Gal Bounce Mascara I really liked this mascara but it dried out really fast. This is an expensive mascara so I don’t know that I can justify the cost for such a short amount of use.

Repurchase: Maybe

Hourglass Caution Extreme Lash Mascara I do not like this as much as the regular Caution Mascara this brush is really tiny and hard to work with.

Repurchase: No

COVERGIRL Clean Fresh Color Correcting Primer + Serum, Redness I have tried two version of this primer now and hated both of them they are so thick and so pigmented and just not for me.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (1)

Palmer’s Tahitian Vanilla Cream this was a really creamy vanilla instead of a sweet vanilla it was a thick lotion it was good. I accidentally included the picture in bodycare.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bodycare (4)

Lush Peachy Bath Bomb this smelled really good and turned the water hot pink which was fun but it also stained my hands a little which is not great.

Repurchase: No

FCS Bath Sugar in Main Squeeze I like some salts in a bath makes it more relaxing.

Repurchase: No the company shut down

Kopari Golden Aura Body Oil not my favorite oil it is really thick and doesn’t sink in super well.

Repurchase: No

Maelys Get Dreamy Overnight Toning Body Whip so annoyingly this does kind of work. It isn’t magic it is a temporary effect of mild tightening but the scent I just can’t stand and it lingers for awhile. It isn’t an unpleasant sent I just do not like it and it is strong.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (5)

Arey Masque Deep Conditioner this was not enough for my hair so I really don’t know if it did anything. I just mixed it in with my regular conditioner.

Repurchase: No

dp Hue ACV Exfoliating Scalp Detox this was ok. It did exfoliate my scalp but it was so hard to rinse out and definitely wore my hair dye out faster when I used it.

Repurchase: No

FCS Argan Hair Shine Serum I like these they make my hair soft and shiny.

Repurchase: No they went out of business

AG Colour Savour Shampoo

AG Colour Savour Conditioner

I didn’t really love these they didn’t really do much for my hair they were color safe though I will give them that.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (6)

Essence Hydra Kiss Lip Oil in 05 Midnight Mystery this is sticky like a lip gloss and I don’t love that.

FCS Natural Deodorant in Sunkissed Babe I tried the paste is sticky and I didn’t like the feeling of trying to spread it and it is messy and this is just not for me.

Giorgio Armani Crema Nera Supreme Reviving Cream this is super thick and does not sink into my skin.

COVERGIRL Clean Fresh Color Correcting Primer + Serum and Moisturizer, Total Brightener

COVERGIRL Clean Fresh Color Correcting Primer + Serum, Dullness Reducer

I have tried to samples of different versions of this and hated both so I’m not interested in giving these ones a try.

Drunk Elephant O-Bloos Rosi Drops this is super pretty but way to light for my skin tone.

This was a really good month. I am so close to my goal but Dec usually means a big influx of items so its really going to be tough.

Skincare (15)

dani beauty Refresh Hydrating Face Mist this was fine the spray bottle was horrible I had to put it into a better spray bottle.

Repurchase: No

Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Mask this was great I saw a huge immediate improvement in my really tired dry dark under eyes after using these I really liked these. They are not the most moisturizing ones I have ever used but they stayed on really well brightened everything up really well my eyes felt better and they didn’t leave me sticky or over hydrated so I was able to put on makeup.

Repurchase: Yes

Live Tinted Rays Copper Peptide Eye Masks these were fine they were moisturizing they were super cute but they slipped around a

Meg Good Morning AM Mask this was fine it wasn’t really anything that special.

Repurchase: No

Clinique Moisture Surge 100h Auto-Replenishing Hydrator I like this moisturizer but its not anything special it is just light and moisturizing so I would never spend money on it.

Repurchase: No

StarFace Salicylic Acid Patches I don’t really like these I don’t think they work as well as others I have tried and the stars make them stay on worse and cover less area than the circles.

Repurchase: No

Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream Hydrating Moisturizer I like this moisturizer it is super light though this is not great for winter or dry skin.

Repurchase: Maybe

Garnier Skin Active Moisture Bomb The Super Hydrating Mask Soothing Sheet Mask this is a good sheet mask hydrating, soothing really skins into the skin and you can wear it for a long time because it is thick and saturated but stays on super well.

Repurchase: Yes

Clinique Moisture Surge 100h Auto-Replenishing Hydrator this is always a really nice moisturizer but I don’t have dry skin and it has no other benefits so I can’t really justify buying it but I love getting samples.

Repurchase: No

Juice Beauty Green Apple Age Defying Moisturizer this was so thick and hard to blend in.

Repurchase: No

La Mer The Rejuvenating Night Cream this was a really thick moisturizer also but it did absorb really well I just don’t love the scent on these ultra-high end skincare products. And I am suspicious that they really aren’t doing anything that much more special than mid-level products.

Repurchase: No

Foreo Supercharged Serum 2.0 this was crazy liquidy and not really enough product to see if it is doing anything.

Repurchase: No

Youth Haus Golden Glow Gold Face Mask this wasn’t good it was super thick and did not stay on well and I don’t think it did anything at all.

Repurchase: No

Rael Beauty Miracle Clear Exfoliating Cleanser this was fine, I really don’t think I would go out of my way to repurchase a particular cleanser.

Repurchase: No

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops this is a good hydrating serum but its not my favorite of the Glow Recipe line.

Repurchase: No

Random (1)

Dove Deodorant in Original Clean this was fine but it leave the worst white marks on clothes.

Repurchase: No

Lip (1)

Laniege Lip Glowy Balm in Berry this was fine it tasted good it was comfortable but a little tacky.

Repurchase: Maybe

Makeup (3)

Nyx Pore Filler Primer Base this left a really smooth feel to my skin and held on to make up well but it was not crazy pore filling it did some but not an excessive amount.

Repurchase: Maybe

Jeffree Starr Mini Liquid Lip in Top Shelf this is a good brown on me and the formulas on these are just really good they stay on well they aren’t uncomfortable they come off on things but they don’t smear or leave a mess or leave patches on my lips.

Repurchase: Yes

Pur Lit Mist Illuminating Setting Spray this was awful it left huge glowy spots on my face that I had to tap and blend out not my favorite thing to have to do but it did help my make up stay on.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (4)

Lush Candy Cane Bubble Bar the bubble bars are good the bubbles last awhile and they smell nice but I struggle to break them up I have weak hands so that’s something to keep in mind. This turned the water such a pretty peachy pink color.

Repurchase: Maybe

Molton Brown Coastal Cypress & Sea Fennel this is a really nice quality bodywash the scent was just too masculine and strong for me. I would be curious to try other scents.

Repurchase: No

FCS Shower Oil in It’s Showtime I love a good body oil. This was nice I like that it comes in a spray bottle.

Repurchase: Yes

Spongelle in Champagne I like these for travel so convenient to have the soap on a sponge and not have to have it in a liquids bag.

Repurchase: Yes

Perfume (3)

Prada Candy Perfume I like this perfume its very sweet.

Repurchase: No

Coach Dreams Sunset Perfume I didn’t like this but can’t really pinpoint why.

Repurchase: No

Nest Indigo Perfume this is just too strong for me personally but it is a nice scent.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (5)

Olaplex No3 Hair Perfector (x2) I had to use two packets of this to fully cover my hair but I like this it really does help with all the damage in my hair from all the bleaching and dyeing I do to it. And I was in desperate need of some health boosting to my hair.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works No Sweat Dry Shampoo this was meh it was fine not great didn’t smell that good but didn’t leave a white cast.

Repurchase: No

Alterna Caviar Restructuring Bond Repair Leave-In Heat Protection Spray this was fine I used it I will never think about it again I prefer other products.

Repurchase: No

Eva Nyc Therapy Session Hair Mask I used to really love this mask but now I just like it its good its thick its moisturizing it’s a good price its not the most amazing mask I have ever tried though.

Repurchase: Maybe

Declutter (6)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company That’s The Berries Body Frosting I don’t like the scent of this.

Hanalei Matte Bronzer this color just doesn’t really work for me its too light but also kind of orangey. Also I found the formula hard to blend.

Naturally Good For You Be Well Illuminating Facial Oil this was making my skin really congested.

Nyx Powder Puff Lippie in Prank Call this smears everywhere and I don’t like the color enough to deal with it.

Colourpop Cheekdew Serum Blush in Sour Cherry

Colourpop Cheekdew Serum Blush in Cherrish You I like the color of these but the formula just isn’t good. It splits very easily and the color is really hard to layer up which is a same the colors are pretty and dewy but it is so hard to work with.
