What’s In My Trash? November 2019

nightmareb4

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.

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.

What’s In My Trash? September 2019

nightmareb4

So I am back after some technically difficulties that caused the site to be down for a few days so sorry about that but it is all sorted out now and we are back up and running.

I have used up so much stuff this month alot of it on vacation so there are some separate pictures of those items.

Skincare (24)

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel I thought I was going to love this since I love the eye cream so much but this had a fragrance I didn’t like it was a bit floral and just unnecessary. It was a nice light hydrating but watery moisturizer that I would use again I might see if they have a unscented version.

Repurchase: Maybe

Origins Clear Improvements this is an ok clearing mask but I don’t think it is too magical I prefer the tea tree one from The Body Shop. I cut this open which I don’t do often with face masks because it isn’t always enough but since I more area treat then full face mask with this it got me a whole application extra out of it.

Repurchase: No, but I do have more of this so you will see it again eventually

Clinique Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly I don’t love this moisturizer it basically turns to water when you touch it and can be really hard to apply. But it is does feel cooling and nice and basic on and I like it for that. I get this in samples a lot so I I will use it but It isn’t special it is also not going to be enough if you have dry skin.

Repurchase: No

Tarte Knockout Tingling Treatment this is a Salicylic and Lactic acid treatment/toner to clear skin and exfoliate I really really liked it it did help clear up gunk in my pores and it did do a little chemical exfoliation but not a ton. I would consider re buying this. This also smells and tastes if it gets in your mouth exactly like malt vinegar.

Repurchase: Maybe

Elizabeth Arden Prevage Anti Aging Serum I don’t know what this was supposed to do but it felt nice and thick in a good way.

Repurchase: No

Belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb I don’t really like the Aqua Bombs but I had it so I used it. I find them sticky and not that hydrating.

Repurchase: No

Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser I hated this its heavily fragranced and sorta feels like you are washing your face with had soap.

Repurchase: No

Coola Mineral Sunscreen Unscented Matter Tint in SPF 30 (2) I am on the fence with this one it looks and feels nice and matte and smooth at first but then it gets pretty greasy though out the day. But it doesn’t break me out so I don’t know.

Repurchase: Maybe

Coola Sport SPF 50 Sunscreen in Fresh Mango this is really sticky and white I can’t tell if it was breaking me out or not.

Repurchase: No

Dr. Jart+ DermaClear Micro Makeup Remover (5) These are really  nice and gentle on my eyes but really really effective for removing eye makeup. They are kinda milky so they are not for touch ups but I like them.

Repurchase: Yes

Be Fine Single Serve Gentle Cleanser (2) this was like washing my face with water and it smelt bad.

Repurchase: No

Be Fine Single Serve Exfoliating Cleanser this is really sticky and chunky.

Repurchase: No

Kiko Milano Pure Clean Eyes & Lips Makeup Remover I got this in a little travel set with a milk lotion. This was ok at getting makeup off but not strong enough for very heavy eye makeup or waterproof mascara. So while it was gentle and didn’t sting my eyes I wouldn’t recommend.

Repurchase: No

Kiehl’s Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Face Masque I don’t feel like this did anything and it was kinda drying. This just left me really confused this did not invigorate my skin or brighten it.

Repurchase: No

Garnier Skinactive Moisture Bomb The Super Hydrating Mask Anti-Fatigue this is really nice in the sense that it felt so soothing and nice and moisturizing on but in terms of doing anything not really. The fit is also kinda eh on this the eye holes are really small. These are so inexpensive though that they feel nice enough to be a nice treat. I was able to snag two of these for free with a Garnier coupon and for free or the very cheap price I would coupon them for they are fun and nice.

Repurchase: Probably

Cetaphil Hydrating Eye-Gel Cream this felt super nice it was really bouncy if that makes any sense.

Repurchase: No

Philosophy Ultimate Miracle Worker Eye Cream this was only like 5 days worth of eye cream so I don’t know if it really does anything but it is a really thick cream that feels nice if that is something you are into.

Repurchase: No

Philosophy Purity Hydra Bounce Eye Gel hydrating but not really much else.

Repurchase: No

Random (9)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Dim the Lights Mini Headache Oil this is one of those essential oil headache/muscle relief type roller balls it was nice it felt soothing and relaxing but it didn’t do much for actual headaches other than being mentally soothing and relaxing. The fumes on this were pretty strong though and would bother my eyes sometimes. Anyone ever rub muscle rub in their eyes by accident? Just like that. I would probably consider trying a product like this again but not this one.

Repurchase: No

Sweet & Shimmer Face & Body Wipes Mini Wipes in Vanilla Bean I always pick these up when Ulta has them for the holiday sales. I love that they smell good and are tiny because I use them for removing swatches. Love these.

Repurchase: Yes

Ulta Beauty Smarts Mask Removing Cloths so I used these as disposable wash cloths for travel and loved them of course they stopped selling these but I think I found potential and much cheaper replacements on Amazon.

Repurchase: Not these

Sweet & Shimmer Brush Cleansing Wipes (3) these have been game changing for me because I can bring just a few brushes instead of a lot of brushes with me. These don’t replace washing but they work for like having to be out and doing makeup.

Repurchase: These or others but glad I know they exist

Dove Men Clean and Comfort Antiperspirant this smelled like baby powder ew. Hated it.

Repurchase: No

Aquaphor Ointment Travel Size I love Aquaphor for chapped skin and lips and any little scrap or whatever I need it for.

Repurchase: Yes

Tommy Bahama Conditioner I used this bottle to shave and it was fine I usually do that with hotel conditioners and it is fine.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (1)

Bath and Body Works Deep Cleaning Hand Soap in Boardwalk Vanilla Cone I loved the scent of this it really did smell like a vanilla ice cream cone with the like chocolate on the top. Such a yummy scent. I don’t love the Deep Cleaning hand soaps I would opt ofr the creamy one or the foaming when (if it comes back around we all know how bath and body works can be) I buy it again.

Repurchase: Yes

Lip (1)

Blistex Complete Moisture I love this chapstick it is so smooth and moisturizing on and it feels so good. It also has this nice light sweet lemon type scent/flavor that I really adore. The only this I don’t like is that if I apply to much which I tend to because of how good it feels it cakes up really white and thick on which is not a good look.

Repurchase: Yes

Makeup (8)

Smashbox Photo Finish Lip Primer this wasn’t a great primer it didn’t grip eyeshadow well and didn’t prevent fading at all.

Repurchase: No

Too Faced Shadow Insurance this was a great primer I really want to try it some more. It wasn’t too sticky my eyeshadow looked great all night.

Repurchase: Probably

Tarte Lights Camera Lashes I don’t like this mascara I find it too heavy on my lashes.

Repurchase: No

Bare Minerals Prime Time Eyelid Primer this was a terrible primer it did nothing I would want a primer to do. It didn’t prevent creasing didn’t make my shadows last longer or make them look brighter or grip them either.

Repurchase: No

Cover Fx Mattifying Primer with Anti-Acne Treatment I don’t think they make this anymore but I really liked it it was silicone based but felt smooth and nice rather than that slippy feel.

Repurchase: Maybe

Pur Cosmetics Get a Grip Eye Shadow Primer this was a good primer but very sticky and hard to blend over I know some people prefer a sticky base and this might be one to try I just don’t like sticky bases.

Repurchase: No

Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Zero this can’t be sharpened anymore so its done for. I love these eyeliners they are smooth and creamy and long lasting. I I have a strong feeling that the L.A. irl eyeliners are the same formula though baased on a green one I tried from them so I will be trying the black one from them before I would go to repurchase this. If it is the same I would only rebuy these for color I can’t get in the L.A. Girl Line.

Repurchase: I never thought I would say this but maybe not

Physicians Formula Butter Highlighter in Rose Gold so technically this isn’t empty but I have hit major pan its getting old and it is way to dark for me like ten months out of the year so I am letting it go and I feel like I have given it enough effort to call it an empty and not a declutter. My empties my rules. It is a nice creamy pretty look but it tends to fade away fast.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (2)

Paul Mitchell Energizing Lemon & Sage Body Lotion this I picked up at some hotel some where you can’t buy it I don’t think. It smells so nice but it does leave my skin really dry. Which is unfortunate I have a few other at home that I will use because it smells so good though.

Repurchase: No

Nivea Aloe Vera Body Lotion this absorbed well into wet skin but otherwise it was just meh to me I don’t like very basic lotions like this just not my preference but I know this would be great for people who need and like simple lotions.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (5)

Bio-Oil (2) I had two packets of this so I gave it ago this seems like an oil you need to use a lot of at a time and it is pricey. So for me no thank you. It is also unscented which is not my preference but important for those that need that or like that. This is a pretty thin non greasey oil that didn’t spread very far.

Repurchase: No

The Fortune Cookie Soap Company Sea Salt Body Scrub in Sandy Toes and Sunkissed Nose I really liked this it had that perfect sandy summery beachy scent and was a ice scrubby scrub. The only thing I don’t like is how fast you use up scrubs that are in this loose consistency.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bath and Body Works Shower Gel in Poolside Pop this was a fruity fun summer scent and a good shower gel but I have tons and the scent is long retired.

Repurchase: No

Spongelle in Quince Blossom I love these sponges for travel but this scent was a bit more floral and powdery then is my taste.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (5)

The Fortune Cookie Soap Company Dreamer Shimmer Perfume Oil I loved this scent one of those typical fruity candy sweet scents that I adore this was almost like sweet tarts but less sugary sweet. I am terrible at describing scents. I wish this hadn’t had all the glitter in it but I would get this scent again in other forms or if there was no glitter if it comes available again. The FCS perfume oils last forever on my skin hours later I can usually smell them no matter what I have been doing that day.

Repurchase: Yes

Moschino Toy 2 Perfume this was kinda a nothing scent really.

Repurchase: No

Juicy Couture Oui I like this one I have it in a full size.

Repurchase: Yes

Coach Floral I don’t normally like floral scent but this one was quite pretty and very tolerable.

Repurchase: No

Zoella Bake My Day Perfume this smelled so fake and cheap I hated using this up I didn’t like any of the Zoella perfumes that came in the set I bought they all smell cheap and fake and even though they are cheap they are not worth it.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (6)

Moroccanoil Color Depositing Mask in Hibiscus this is not really a color depositing mask it is pretty much just a packet of dye. And it worked it dyed my hair and pretty evenly too but I would expect that from dye. I can get better quality dye for cheaper. This also left my hair a bit frizzy which my normal hair dye would not have. I bought two packets of this but one was almost enough for all my hair so I didn’t open the second yet I will use it up but this is not worth it just buy a regular jar or bottle of hair dye you will be better off.

Repurchase: No

DevaCurl No-Poo Decadence I tried a few samples of this before I committed to a whole bottle and I had loved the samples but after getting through a whole bottle I am mostly ambivalent about it. It was fine but not as magical as the samples. It left my hair drier then I would prefer and a bit more tangle prone then my hair ever usually would be. My hunt for my perfect no poo shampoo continues.

Repurchase: No

Bed Head After Party I love this product it is like a smoothing cream with that standard Bed Head fruity scent (that is clearly the theme of this empties). It only takes like three or four pea sized pumps to smooth out my hair and leave it soft and shiny but with out feeling like there is anything in my hair. I don’t like that sticky heavy feeling of having product in my hair. I have a smoothing serum I want to try but I have doubts it will hold a candle to this. Like it looks like suck a gimmicky bottle and concept but it really does revive your hair and make it look so pretty and styled when I have actually done nothing but brush it.

Repurchase: Yes

Marajo Cleansing Cream I like this cleansing cream alright this packet was far to small for my hair so I had to supplement with the next product and it was not great for my hair.

Repurchase: No

Tommy Bahama Conditioner this was awful as a conditioner my hair felt so dry. Ugh I hate hotel hair products.

Repurchase: No

Marajo Deep Butter Treatment I really like this hair mask I have a full size of it too. This saved my hair after the conditioner fiasco.

Repurchase: Probably, It is expensive

Declutter (14)

Seraphine Botanicals Liquid Coal Waterproof Liquid Liner this was really hard to use and I would have to go over it to twice to get a solid black like and it was hard to get neat precise wings for me so this one is a pass.

Colourpop Brow Boss in Brunette this is just too light and too brown of a color for me.

Touch in Sol No PoreBlem Primer I just don’t like this primer it is too slippy leaves my skin feeling greasy and I don’t find it pore filling.

Kat Von D Everlasting Face Shaper Bronzer in Shady Business 1 this got shattered I am not really sure how but I never liked it so it is no loss. It was too orange and way way to shimmer for my liking.

Medusa’s Makeup Metal AF Lip Gloss in Hells Bells these are not lip glosses they are metallic liquid lips and the formula on  them is fine they aren’t too drying they stay on ok I just don’t like this Barbie pink color and won’t ever use it.

Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Liner in Blacquer this I really don’t know what is going on I’ve heard such rave reviews about this eyeliner but I couldn’t get it to transfer to my waterline at all. I tried warming it up on my hand, it was impossible to get off so I imagine if I had gotten it on my eye it would have been good. I don’t know if I got a dud or what but this was unusable.

The Balm Meet Matt(e) Trimony in Matt Moskowitz I have another Meet Matt(e) shadow in Matt Kumar and that one is great and blendable. This purple Moskowitz shade is so patchy and hard to blend it just does not perform well for me.

Elf Gotta Glow Lip Tint in Perfect Berry this is one of those color changing balms but it is weird. It barely changed in then there would be random patches that were a little purple and it just looked odd as hell. I have this same on in pink and it doesn’t do that but it is in my maybe declutter pile because it is really pink and I don’t know if I want to keep it, but that is for a different day lol.

Lipsmacker in Silly Strawberry last summer Target had a Disney collection for Mickey’s 90th birthday and there was a pack of like 5 Mickey themed Lipsmackers that came our and it was cheap like no more then 5 or 6 dollars so I had to have it even though I don’t always love Lipsmackers. I know I used on up and I am using one now that I like ok. But this strawberry one is so artificial and thick and gross I hate it and I am not going to kill myself to use a lip balm I hate that cost like a dollar or less.

Tresemme Fresh Start Volumizing Dry Shampoo this made my hair feel sticky and look greasy.

Sleek Highlighting Palette in Distorted Dreams as pretty as the colors in this the formula just was not it didn’t apply well or last at all it was just a mess.

Kiss Professional Makeup Lip Stain in Lost Cherry this was not a great lip stain no lasting power even though the color was pretty.

Urban Decay Primer Potion in Minor Sin I don’t like shimmery eyeshadow primers. Tarte Tarteist Lip Paint in Rosé this is just too light a color for me and too peachy.

So much stuff this month so proud of myself. Alot of declutter because there was alot of things I didn’t like this month that I had put my mind to try which both feels good and a bit anoying because I don’t like getting rid of or wasting stuff.

I have a really good ratio of paid to value of used products going on here I feel really good about how my empties have been going this year now. I wasn’t feeling stressed about empties this year which was making me feel stressed like I wasn’t doing enough. #anxietyproblems
