What’s In My Trash? December 2019

Happy 2020 everyone. So crazy I feel like every year just goes buy faster and faster. There will be a wrap up post and an introduction of goals post coming in a few days hopefully Monday but I’m sick of course my heater flooded my bedroom on New Years Eve so my house is a disaster. So I am a little behind.

This is all of my December empties. I was struggling in the beginning of the month and then I just started finishing so much stuff so quickly. I also had to really big hard to use up products that I wanted to finish by the end of the year and I only finished one of them. One is a perfume you’ll see below. One was this giant tub of a Strawberry Cream Moisture Mask/Lotion thing that I got so close to finishing. I hate it so much but I am like maybe 4 or 5 uses away form being done so I will push through and try and get it done in January.

Skincare (10)

Vitamasques Face Food Kiwi Fruit  Yoghurt Mask I really didn’t like this it was uncomfortable to have on it was thick and a bit itchy in places on my face. I just don’t like cream mask I am finding. It also left my face feeling like it was coated so it was soft but it felt like it was soft because there was something on it. There was 2 uses in this pouch and I gave it two tried but not for me.

Repurchase: No

Laneige Water Sleeping Mask I don’t like the water sleeping mask I don’t feel like it does anything more special than any other gel moisturizer and I don’t like the scent. I can and will use it but it is not worth the money.

Repurchase: No

Dr. Brandt Pores No More Vacuum Cleaner Mask another mask out of my overwhelming mask collection thank god. I hate this mask I don’t feel like it clears my pores it just leaves my skin tight and dry and not soft.  Dr. Brandt products seem to never work out for me.

Repurchase: No

Elemis Superfood Kefir-Tea Mist this was a decent mist but for the price I prefer the Urban Decay spray. This smells super herbal and planty. It was refreshing but it wasn’t as hydrating as I want. The bottle/mister is great I plan to decant other sprays into.

Repurchase: No

Absolute New York 24K Glow Hydrating Gold Gel Mask did not like this at all. It didn’t feel like anything special on didn’t do anything. The two hydrogel pieces were sliding all over and didn’t fit well.

Repurchase: No

Purlisse Coconut + Rise Nourishing Sheet Mask hated this it would not stay on my face it was drippy with sticky serum and somehow left my face feeling drier and worse than when I put it on.

Repurchase: No

The Crème Shop Clarifying Peppermint Cocoa Sheet Mask this was pretty nice it was a mask for blemishes and has tea tree in it which is really good for me when I have break outs and it really did help calm down the weird breakouts I was having. It didn’t take them all away but I mean barely anything is that magically.

Repurchase: Maybe

Ole Henriksen Truth Serum I do not think this was worth the price at all for a vitamin c serum it didn’t really do anything other than smell like nice oranges.

Repurchase: No

Lalafox Honey Sheet Mask I loved this if I ever get through a good portion of my sheet mask collection I will be seeking this out again. This fell so nice and hydrating and soothing on my skin. I love honey mask they work magic on my skin. There was also almost a full ounce of serum/gel in here that I was able to jar up and continue using this is a great and affordable mask.

Repurchase: No

Peter Thomas Roth Hungarian Thermal Water Mineral-Rich Moisturizer this I thought I would love but it was just meh. It was thick but sunk in well but wasn’t that impressive. It also smelled like baked goods almost not sweet but like baked.

Repurchase: No

Random (2)

The Brush Wash Scented Brush Wash this is from a random Etsy shop. I saw it and the scents the offered sounded so good I wanted to try it but the scent was so light you could barely smell it and after the first use I couldn’t smell it at all. So much so that I forgot what scent I picked. The soap was fine but nothing so great that I would got out of my way to order it again.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Veggie Protein Deodorant in The Bog of Eternal Stench I like their natural deodorants for when I am just hanging around the house. This one was particularly fruity and nice smelling.

Repurchase: Yes

Home Scents (4)

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Beachscape this legit smelled like nothing and it ended up not drawing properly and liquid just sat in the bottom forever so I am giving up on it.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Frosted Coconut Snowball Candle this was too light of a smell with not enough scent throw. The coconut was nice sweet scent but you had to be right on top of it to smell it.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Room Spray in VooDoo Who Do? I didn’t really care for the scent on this one. It wasn’t a great room spray.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Scent Portable in Wakiki Beach Coconut clearly I am finally finishing up summer scents I am the worst. These Scent Portables last forever in my car. The scent isn’t as strong as a Little Tree would be but a little tree lasts for like a week and these last for like 3 months. I liked the coconut it is my preferred car scent.

Repurchase: Yes

Lip (4)

Laniege Lip Sleeping Mask these lip masks are ok. I don’t get the huge hype about them. They feel nice and thick but they aren’t magical. They are just alright. They do last a super long time so the price doesn’t bother me they just aren’t all that special. I have 2 more minis and a full size left so I should have lip balm from Laniege for like 3 more years.

Repurchase: No

Platinum Endontics Lip Balm random lip balm that you get for free but this was such a nice thick creamy type of balm I liked it a lot.

Repurchase: I would

Sun Bum Sunscreen Lip Balm in Pomegranate I hated this it was really sweet but also tasted chemically which probably comes from the spf 30 in it. The taste also lingered a long time on my lips and it was really white as well just overall I did not like this.

Repurchase: No

Skin Fix Lip Repair Balm in Lemon Mint this felt nice on but didn’t actually feel like it was repairing anything like my lips would feel just as dry when it wore off. Loved the lemon mint though. The packaging of this was also a total fail. It was so hard to open and squeeze because of the coconut oil it would get really melty in the heat or freeze in the cold.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (1)

Sephora Lip Cream Stain in 01 Always Red it is always a major accomplishment for me when I use up a makeup product that isn’t mascara. This is one of if not my favorite lip formula and this is like the perfect red for me. I love it so much it is so long wearing it doesn’t come off on cups of if you kiss some one it can survive eating but it will get on your food but once you blot after you’re back to a matte that doesn’t come off. It can be touched up I just love these I have a few shades. I think I do have this in another mini but if I don’t I will be rebuying this because it needs to always be in my life.

Repurchase: Yes

Lotion (1)

Hempz Cherry Cheesecake Crème Triple Moisture Herbal Whipped Body Crème this scent wasn’t that stoing but it did smell like cherry cheesecake. Hempz lotions are really great.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bodycare (5)

Lush The Big Sleep Jelly Bomb I like these jelly bombs they make the water kinda thick and make my skin really soft. This was not as deeply colored or as thick or as scented as the black one but it also didn’t stain my tub. I am not a huge fan of lavender so I wouldn’t repurchase this one but it was nice and the deep teal it turned the water was super fun and pretty.

Repurchase: No

Smartly Shave Foam in Summertime I really liked this it was a solid foam that didn’t wash away instantly when water hit it. It smelled like summer and its cheap only a $1.09. I really liked this probably the best of all shaving foams I’ve tried in a while.

Repurchase: Yes

Lush Green Coconut Jelly Bomb this was a very fresh coconut scent rather then the more sweet sunscreeny type coconut scent but it was still really nice. It made the water thick and was really softening and moisturizing and a really pretty greeny/teal color that didn’t stain my tub. I liked it.

Repurchase: Maybe

Ulta 3-in-1 Smoothie in Lemon Agave + Ginger I loved the scent of this it was so fresh and lemony. I also felt really clean and my skin felt good after using this. The pump on the bottle was awful I don’t know if mine was broken or something but it barely pumped out soap and I had to like lift the pump up manually. I ended up pouring this into a smaller bottle and using it out of there a few times.  I wouldn’t suggest it for the full price but when it’s cheap on sale it’s a good deal.

Repurchase: Maybe

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Bath Tea I think that’s what this is and where it is from. I didn’t enjoy this and I don’t think it did any thing other then leave a ton of bits in my water. I didn’t think I would like a product like this and I didn’t.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (1)

Marc Jacobs Biscotti Perfume I really wanted to finish this up this year and am very proud that I did. This is the oldest perfume in my collection and over the last few moths it was starting to go. The scent wasn’t as strong or as long lasting so I really needed to get it used up This was like a 10 ounce bottle of perfume which that’s a lot. I really shouldn’t buy any perfumes over 1.7 oz I am learning because I change my scent up way to often to get through them quick enough. This was a warm almost cookie but in a nice way not a little kid sweet way type of scent. They don’t make this anymore which is sad because I did really like it. The bottle is nice and has my name engraved on it so I am probably going to clean it out and put body sprays or something in it to make them feel more fancy.

Repurchase: Can’t

Haircare (4)

Marc Anthony Strengthening Grow Long Anti-Breakage Mask this makes my hair soft but I don’t know that I saw any strengthening or it helping much with breakage.

Repurchase: No

Hask Argan Oil Intense Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment this kinda had an orange nutty scent that wasn’t unpleasant but odd and unexpected. It did make my hair really really soft but I don’t know if I like it better than the Marc Anthony ones.

Repurchase: Maybe

Nature Lab Perfect Repair Treatment Masque this made my hair pretty soft. It was alright.

Repurchase: Maybe

DevaCurl One Condition Decadence I hated this it left my hair really dry and I think it was causing my hair to get knots because I never had knots and tangles until I started using it.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (24)

Beauty Blender Liner Designer Pro I bought this thinking it would make wings easier but it was hard to hold liner bled through and tape is just easier. This has been sitting in my drawer for years it’s time to go.

Weird Silicone Blenders (2) I feel like these just smear makeup around and aren’t great to use. I forgot I had these and in trying to declutter my brushes I found them and off they go.

Beauty Sponges (9) assorted sponges that are old or weird shapes I don’t like. Most are ones that I don’t know the brand of. There is a Real Techniques sponge in there and I hate that it doesn’t have a round base. A Pur sponge they changed them and they aren’t as soft as they used to be.  And a Christmas Tree shaped one that I thought was so cute but it was a disaster to use the ridges made it impossible to blend anything.

Random Amazon Brushes (3) these are just of a shape and density I don’t find compatible bought them because the handles were cute and most of the brushes worked out but these too didn’t.

BH Cosmetics Brushes (3) I have here a flat foundation brush, a duo fiber brush and a liner brush. I have other flat foundation brushes that I like better and I rarely need them so this is a spare that can go it isn’t bad I just have better. I don’t use duo fiber brushes ever and I have a Royal and Langnickel one that is a bit denser and just better. This liner brush is just too long and flimsy to be able to get a good line with.

Clinique Flat Foundation Brush it is just a little too small for my preferences.

AOA Studio F5 this just is a shape I won’t use it is very soft and dense and feels solid and nice it just isn’t for me.

Royal & Langnickel Complexion BMD-185 I love this brush I just have two and don’t need two.

Real Techniques Buffing Brush I just don’t really like this brush and can’t really explain why.

Salon Perfect Brow Defining Palette I just really am not going to use this and I got new storage for my palettes and decided to let this go in my reorganizing.

Random 88 Color Palette (not pictured) we are all familiar with this palette where it had a rainbow of colors in tiny pans and cheap black plastic packaging. This palette is super sentimental to me even though I haven’t used it in years. My friend bought it for me in high school I did my makeup for prom and other special occasions with it (and made it look decent for the times and what it was lol). But this is just not up to snuff with the rest of my collection so I moved it onto my bookshelf to keep as a memento but out of my makeup collection where it no longer belongs.


I am really excited to run through the numbers and get some stats on what I’ve used up this year. I love data and seeing a whole picture of a year that way I find it so interesting.

What’s In My Trash? November 2019

I can’t believe it is December and Christmas is in 20 days like where has the time gone.

I don’t have a group shot this month I couldn’t get a nice shot of them it was a mess so oh well.

Skincare (10)

Lancome Genifique Youth Activating Eye Cream this was ok but I used it for nearly a month and didn’t see any “youth activating” so I think there are better eye creams for less.

Repurchase: No

Up & Up Refreshing Wet Cleansing Towelettes these were terrible I kept these as car wipes but they don’t take any makeup up off and they dry out quick. They are soft though.

Repurchase: No

Soo Ae Donkey Milk Skin Gel Mask this is a very wet mask. Like dripping in my eyes wet. Also very thin so while it fits my face well it is not the most comfortable because of how wet and kinda slimy it feels. It is also pretty tacky so it did stay on my face well but I am not the biggest fan. It is moisturizing though did leave my skin tacky. I don’t hate this so much that I won’t use the other 4 I have (where did they all come from I don’t know because I didn’t buy them) but I don’t recommend them.

Repurchase: No

The Body Shop Pomegranate Invigorating Toner I wanted to have a non drying toner but this just left me feeling sticky. It wasn’t drying so I guess it did its job but this is a step I don’t need or want and this was not the product for me.

Repurchase: No

Private Doctor Define Minus Serum this did nothing and a it needed a lot to spread it around.

Repurchase: No

Earth Therapeutics Collagen Cleansing Facial Towelettes I really like these they were gentle and felt nice I think I might like these more then my green Garnier ones but I just opened a new pack of those so we shall see. But these were good. And I loved the packaging because since it had a an actual lid to seal.

Repurchase: Yes

My Clarins Re-Charge Relaxing Sleeping Mask I didn’t like this at all for starters the tube only had two uses and I expect more from Macy’s second this was sticky and did not feel hydrating at all.

Repurchase: No

Double Dare OMG! 2 in 1 Detox Bubbling Microfiber Mask this is a fun mask but it isn’t something I am running to purchase. The bubbling mask leaves my skin feeling like squeaky clean and tight so the second hydrating mask is essential to adding moisture back into the skin.

Repurchase: No

Laneige Water Sleeping Mask this will never be my favorite I don’t like the scent and I don’t feel like it does much I used it up as a neck/chest moisturizer.

Repurchase: No

Dermadoctor Kakadu C Amethyst Clay Detox Mask I love the purple color of this. It is heavily fragranced though it legit smells like purple. It isn’t a bad scent just strong. This is a very drying tightening mask but my skin does look and feel softer and cleaner after I use it. It is expensive so I don’t know that I would invest in it when other cheaper masks also work for detoxing my skin. I had some congestion going on i think from trying the First Aid Beauty face oil I got in Ipsy this month so I used this to try and help get rid of that.

Repurchase: Probably Not

Random (4)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company OCD Hand Sanitizer in Weapon of Choice these are my favorite hand sanitizers I use them pretty much exclusively this one had a bit of a rum scent I loved it it was from a zombie themed collection awhile back.

Repurchase: Yes

Sweet & Shimmer Face and Body Mini Wipes in Frosted Berry these are my favorite for swatches they are cheap smell good and are decently soft for cheap wipes. I pick these up at Ulta every Christmas and use them all year. They have different scents each year but they all smell pretty similar especially the non berry ones.

Repurchase: Yes, It is that time to stock up again.

Degree Motion Sense in Stay Fresh I saw this new citrus Bergamont scent and thought oh I’ll live that I love citrus and bergamont scent but this smelt kinda weird on me and I have another one to get through.

Repurchase: No

Earth Therapeutics Foot Peel not the greatest foot peel. The peeling started like the next day just about but it was a very slow tiny little pieces at a time and not like a deeply penetrating peel only the very surface layer. Not a greatest one but much cheaper than a lot of other ones I have tried.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (4)

Columbia Candle Supply Brow Sugar & Fig Wax Melt I love the wax melts from this company they are really great and I love that they do mystery packs because it is more fun that way. They are cheap and you can get at least 2 or 3 melts out of one ounce so I like them. This was a just generally warm sweet scent.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bath and Body Works Pumpkin Peanut Brittle Candle this was very peanut and a bit caramel I really enjoyed this candle. It had a really good scent throw as well.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Orange Truffle Candle this smelled reasonably good but had a very average scent throw I prefer a stronger scent throw. The orange and the chocolate mixed nicely (shocking really lol) and didn’t smell fake at all but it was just not strong enough for me.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Lemon Mint Leaf Candle this had a good scent throw and was nice and bright and clean and fresh smelling I liked this a lot.

Repurchase: Yes

Makeup (3)

Maybelline Master Precise All Day Liquid Liner in Black this wasn’t that great I found it hard to line my eyes with and get a good flick and I didn’t find it black enough or opaque enough without multiple coats.

Repurchase: No

Too Faced Shadow Insurance Anti-Crease Eye Shadow Primer I really like this it has more color to it than the Urban Decay one and it really holds on to shadow really well. This will probably be the primer I purchase when I next need one.

Repurchase: Yes

Urban Decay Naked Skin Beauty Balm this is unfortunately discontinued which is so fucking sad since this is my favorite foundation every I bought a few of these when they were being discontinued for dirt cheap so I have a stock but I love this it’s the right tone the right color it so light and comfortable on my skin no matter what the weather it and it has the light but blurring type of coverage I look for.

Repurchase: All of them if I could

Lotion (1)

Hempz Toffee Butter Crème Triple Moisture Herbal Whipped Body Crème I like Hempz lotions quite a lot but this one was a miss for me the scent was way to buttery and I don’t go for that type of scent. The lotion quality was good but I would go for a different scent.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (6)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Party Bath Salts in Sprinkles this didn’t have enough scent to it and it kinda dried my skin out a bit. Not a fan.

Repurchase: No

Lush Butterball Bath Bomb this left my skin super soft but it didn’t turn the water colors or smell strongly it was pretty meh.

Repurchase: No

Target Beauty Bergamot & Blood Orange Bath Salts these were unimpressive they didn’t have a lot of scent and they only preformed marginally well at Epsom Salts so I wouldn’t recommend. I grabbed these because they were on sale for 90 cents but they weren’t really worth it.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Aloe-lujah Skin Gel in Free Spirit this had such a nice bright fruity scent that I loved. I don’t love Aloe though I find it a bit drying on my skin. But this is nice for burns and scraps and anything like that. And it does absorb into my skin quickly.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Solid Sugar Scrub in Sugar Rush this is one of those products that I savored every use and tried to make last it was a great body scrub but the scent is want made this so special. It smelled like sweet tarts and was so yummy and strong I loved it and you love to have more in this scent.

Repurchase: Yes

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Body Wash in Regenerate this didn’t have much of a scent and there is some stuck in the bottom I can’t get out but it was fine for a travel body wash wouldn’t recommend it though they have much better body washes.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (1)

Zoella Snow’ella Perfume I am so glad to be done with this. I never liked any of the perfumes in this set they all smelled like Claire’s like little girl perfume. I used this up by every time I used it on myself I also sprayed my sheets with it.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (3)

Shea Moisture Jamacian Black Castor Oil Strengthen & Grow Treatment Masque this is a really nice hair mask it makes my hair feel smooth and strong but it takes a lot of product to coat my hair so I don’t know that I would purchase.

Repurchase: Maybe

Keranique Micro-Exfoliating Follicle Revitalizing Hair Mask this was kinda like a scalp scrub and I really really liked it. It was easy to get through my roots and on my scalp unlike other scalp scrubs I have tried and it felt really nice and invigorating. My scalp felt cleaner and lighter after I really liked this.

Repurchase: Yes

Garnier Fructis Smoothing Treat Avocado 1 Min Hair Mask I have liked the other hair masks I have tried in this like but the Avocado one left my hair feeling a bit dry. I like how easy and quick these masks are and they smell nice. This one was just not for me I prefer the other ones.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (7)

Pretty Vulgar The Ink Gel Eyeliner in 01 Black List ugh this liner I tried so hard to love this because the bottle is so cute looking like a little ink well but liner sucks. It is so smudgey it never sets down and the staying power is terrible. If I am going to go through the trouble of a potted gel liner I want it to be bullet proof. This is also really hard to get out of the bottle since you have to go through a longer thinner neck to the bottle and you can’t see what you are picking up.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Crush this was just too ballerina pink and I couldn’t darken this to a place where I would be willing to wear it. Unfortunate because I love this formula.

Billion Dollar Brows The Microblade Effect Brow Pen in Dark this is supposed to give you hair like strokes in your brows and it does. It takes practice though. This ended up making my brows look much fuller then I like so I am passing it on to a friend it just isnn’t my personal preference for my brows.

La Ritzy Cosmetics Lip Stix in Plum this is one of those things in theory I should have loved this it was easy to apply I loved the color even though it got all over my coffee cup it didn’t slide all over my face and it was comfortable but I was super aware that it was on my mouth like it felt heavy and every time I looked in a mirror I just wanted to wipe it off so this should just go to a better home. With someone who can love it properly.

Luscious Angel Eyes Eyeshadow Primer this is just an average eye primer and I have plenty that I love so I see no need to try and use up one I don’t love since eye primers take years to use up. This is really thick so a little goes a long way and it’s like halfway between translucent or being a color and blanking your lid out and I need it to do one or the other.

Colourpop Crystal Liquid Highlighter in Amber this liquid highlighter would separate and come put chunky as well as look chunky on the skin and slide around this just didn’t really work out for me. Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal in 60 Silver Strike this is super pretty and metallic but I never use it so it can go.


I really wanted to get through more products this month and Dec is starting off slow which isn’t the greatest.

What’s In My Trash? October 2019

The month of spooky is over and now it is full on Christmas season there is already Christmas music and movies playing.

Skincare (9)

Medusa’s Makeup After Glow Facial Serum I loved this so so much and will probably have to repurchase. It is expensive for such a small amount but it did last me a very long time. I only need about three drops for my whole face. This is a grapefruit oil serum/moisturizer and it made my face look and feel so glowy and soft and it smelled so amazing I just really loved it and am missing it already but I have a few thing in reserve that I need to give a shot before I repurchase this.

Repurchase: Yes

Body Prescriptions  Micellar Foaming Cleanser I didn’t really like this cleanser it didn’t remove makeup and I found it pretty drying and stripping on my skin. My girlfriend on the other hand loved it and said it made her skin clearer so you know differing opinions.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Facial Cleansing Oil in Totally Rad I love the cleansing oils from FCS they even remove eye makeup with out stinging or making a film on my contacts. They don’t emulsify at all which is the only down side but they really work perfectly all the same.

Repurchase: Absolutely

Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks these are the only eye masks I have ever use that actually work they hydrate and take away dark circles lines and puffiness they stay on really well so I can wear them while doing my eyeshadow and use them to make a crisp line as well as catch fall out these are great.

Repurchase: Yes

Double Dare OMG! 2 in 1 Detox Bubbling Microfiber Mask this was a two-step mask first is one of those bubbling sheet masks that is supposed to cleanse your skin and remove your makeup and exfoliate. I don’t know how it could do all those things I would not trust this to remove my makeup but my skin did feel clean and soft after it. The second step is a hydrating mask that I didn’t really like it was sticky and thick and didn’t seem to absorb well.

Repurchase: No, I do have another one.

Valjean Labs Restore Facial Serum I didn’t like this I don’t feel like it did anything for my skin and it was sticky.

Repurchase: No

Clinique Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly this is a water gel moisturizer I don’t love it but I’ll use it when I have it which is  fairly often. It is very light and watery.

Repurchase: No

7th Heaven Green Tea Peel-Off Face Mask this did nothing the only good thing about it was that it didn’t hurt when I peeled it off.

Repurchase: No

Smartly Unscented Facial Cleansing Wipes these were pretty drying and not very effective.

Repurchase: No

Random (3)

Fortune Cookie Soap OCD Hand Sanitizer in Third Times a Charm this was super old it had lost its scent I had been using it so long. I love their hand sanitizers I find them less drying then other had sanitizers.

Repurchase: Yes

Secret Deodorant Ph Balance in Shower Fresh. I liked this a lot I forgot that I liked this line of deodorants I would repurchase.

Repurchase: Yes

Koh Gen Do Pure Cotton Pads these are super super soft which I really enjoyed but I don’t like cotton pads that have unfinished edges because I feel like they get fluff everywhere and I don’t like that. These are pretty big though so I cut them in half to get double the amount of use out of them.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (2)

Bath and Body Works Summer Suntan Candle this is my all time favorite candle they make I smells like summer and suntan lotion and reminds me of the beach and I just love everything about it. This pretty glittery rainbow jar they did for pride month was really awesome too.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Vampire Blood Candle I really wanted to love this the jar is pretty the wax is this gorgeous bloody red color when it was melted. But there was no scent throw on this at all. I also lost the jar it grew legs and walked away.

Repurchase: No

Lip (2)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Shine Bright Sheer Shimmer Lip Balm this was so good it tasted good and smelled good kinda fruity. It felt so nice and moisturizering and smooth on I loved it so much sad to see it go.

Repurchase: If this formula comes back yes

Platinum Endontics Lip Balm this is like a random giveaway item you get for free from a million different types of places this one happens to come from the dentist and it is an oddly nice lip balm it is really smooth and coating so it feels like and protecting on my lips and is a nice vanilla flavor.

Repurchase: No because it isn’t for sale but I will use them when I get them.

Makeup (4)

Bare Minerals Whipped Velvet Long Wear Eyecolor in Gilded Beige I didn’t really like this as a liquid eyeshadow it was boring and not super impactful. I used it up as a highlighter it was pretty but not over the top. I’m glad I got some use out of it but I didn’t really like it.

Repurchase: No

Medusa’s Makeup Witch Lash in Electric Blue I love this mascara so so much the witch lash mascara is in my top 5 mascaras and their blue mascaras are really pigmented and show up so well.  I also like how long and feathery it makes my lashes look.

Repurchase: Yes

Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray this is my favorite setting spray it really works and it isn’t sticky, doesn’t smell weird and sprays out really nice and even.

Repurchase: Yes

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara this is a really great mascara it really is as great as all the reviews it makes my lashes look really bold and full. I don’t like how hard it is to get off but It is a great mascara.

Repurchase: Yes

Lotion (3)

Bath and Body Works Bourbon Strawberry & Vanilla Body Lotion This smelled nice really sweet and that fake strawberry scent but really no bourbon scent. The body lotions are fine but nothing special.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Wendy Bird Aloe Me Whipped Cream I love all the scents from the Second Star to the Right Collection the aloe me whipped creams are really nice they aren’t as sticky as aloe but lighter than a regular whipped cream lotion.

Repurchase: Yes

Ahava Dead Sea Water Mineral Hand Cream I loved this it smells like the ocean which is so calming and lovely to me. It was also really creamy and hydrating.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (4)

Lush Secret Arts Jelly Bomb this was so fun and cool. It was a bath bomb that fizzes and changes the water color but in the bath bomb was like seaweed jelly that made the water extra soft and really made my skin feel so amazing this was ten times better than any other bath bomb at that. There was like no scent from this but it turned my water perfectly black and I love not being able to see through the water at all so that was great. It totally stained my tub though which was not so great because the last thing I want to do after a bath is wash my tub but still really enjoyed this.

Repurchase: Maybe, I don’t take a lot of baths and this is $8 for one bath

Bath and Body Works Shower Gel in Waikiki Beach Coconut I loved the coconut scent of this it was great.

Repurchase: Yes

Cauldron Bath Bomb I don’t know where this came from. It turned my water a really fun green color and it was super fun wathing it all bubble out of the cauldron. I didn’t love the scent though but it was nice.

Repurchase: No, I don’t know what it is or where to get it.

Bath and Body Works Rainbow Body Oil in Marshmallow Magic I loved the Marshmallow Magic scent and would love for BBW to bring it back but this oil was a miss for it had way to much alcohol in it and would sting my skin after shaving. It was pretty and smelled nice though.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (1)

Cosmos by Zoella I only have 1 left from this four scent set I bought and I can’t wait to be done with that one. I didn’t like any of these perfumes they all smell really cheap and don’t last long. I got sucked in my cute bottles and my punishment to myself is that I need to use them up completely.

Repurchase: NO

Haircare (3)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Greased Lightnin’ Hemp Seed Leave-In Conditioner  this I didn’t like it was messy it would like leak out of the bottom of the sprayer while I tried to use it. It was kinda thin and sticky because I think the heavier good part of the conditioner was leaking out and the scent was off-putting to me too musky. This was a fail. I am very picky with leave ins they have to be perfect or I hate them.

Repurchase: No

Moroccanoil Color Depositing Mask in Hibiscus I said this before this is just a really expensive packet of hair dye and there is better hair dye for cheaper.

Repurchase: No

Pantene Intense Rescue Shot Ampoule this made my hair feel so so soft I really liked this mask. I hated the packaging though I wish it came out of a bigger hole because once this really slippery mask was in my hands it was really hard to keep squeezing the tube without it falling out of my hands. There is also something so nice about those old school hair brand scents like Pantene.

Repurchase: Yes

Declutter (2)

Elf Mineral Infused Mascara this was so natural it felt and looked like nothing was on my lashes at all and that is not a look I go for. I don’t have time in my life for crappy mascara.

Vitamasques Face Food Strawberry Yoghurt Mask this has strawberry in it and since that time I had a bad reaction to strawberries in skincare I am too afraid to use strawberry products I can’t patch test first so I will add this to the declutter bin for someone else to try.


I am coming into the season where I will be adding so much stuff into my collection over they next 3 months so I really need to put using product up into high gear now this was a slower month after using alot in September so I really need to be at double this for November. Bit disappointed in myself this month.
