Well July was a month I took a really hectic drive across country with my best friend and had a fucking blast but because of that I hardly used up any products and barely have any pictures because I was much more focused on living life this month then anything to do with this blog its really been a crazy up and down summer for me and like I just need a break from everything. So you know what ever just gotta keep on doing because as much as I want a break that is not in the cards for me.

Skin Food Black Sugar Mask this is not the kind of mask I
generally like it is super sticky and and sugar granules that are really hard
to wash off. This did make my skin feel and look a lot more clear after I used
it. So even though I didn’t enjoy using it it did make my skin look nice.
Repurchase: Maybe
Clinique Pep-Start Eye Cream I don’t like this eye cream I feel
like it doesn’t do anything and the applicator is really annoying to use.
Repurchase: No
Primary Raw Do You 2 Step Milk Peeling Kit this did nothing. I am
not even sure what it was supposed to do. So pointless.
Repurchase: No
MidFlower Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Sheet Mask this felt really
nice on and it fit my face really well. I enjoyed it but I have too many sheet
masks and this seems pricey for me at $2.50
Repurchase: No
L.A. Fresh Really Pretty O.G Makeup Remover Wipe got this free some place it didn’t even take off all my LIGHTLY tinted sunscreen so this is a no. I have tried a few L.A. Fresh generic makeup removing wipes none of them are good.
Repurchase: No
Sunday Riley Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream I REALLY liked
this cream I don’t know if it really qualifies as a moisturizer but it feels
like my skin looks and feels brighter after I use this cream I really like it a
lot.
Repurchase: Maybe, it is expensive
Nyx Honey Dew Me Up this never worked on my face I found it too sticky and it never sank in so I ended up using it as a neck and chest moisturizer and weirdly enough I loved it as that I thought my chest blemishes cleared up a good bit while I was using this. It is much to expensive though $9 for a third of an ounce is absurd.
Repurchase: No
Random (2)
Crabtree & Evelyn Verbena Lavender Conditioner I used this to
shave I like hotel conditioners to shave when I am traveling because it is
quick easy and there. This smelled nice.
Repurchase: No
Axe Phoenix Antiperspirant I don’t like the scent of this and I don’t feel like it works well I feel like it wears off after a few hours. But These little travel ones were on clearance for so cheap that I couldn’t pass them up for traveling. I can suffer through.
Repurchase: No
Home Scents (4)
Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Key Lime Pie I loved this so
much it smelled so good it smelt like a light and fruity and lime but with a
bit of sweetness I loved it so much.
Repurchase: Yes
Bath and Body Works Hot Cocoa and Cream Mini Candle my favorite
candle scent ever. I prefer the full size candles to these minis though so
probably won’t repurchase the minis.
Repurchase: Not this size
Bath and Body Works Orange Creamsicle Candle this did not have a
strong enough throw for me. I wanted more orange and more vanilla.
Repurchase: No
Fortune Cookie Soap Company Wax Tart in Pink Ladies I finally have used up the last of these this was too floral for me to truly enjoy but not so floral that it was unusable. I am glad that it is done though. FCS waxes burn for along time so I do really like them.
Repurchase: No
Lip (1)
Softlips Lip Protectant in Tropical Coconut I loved this this is the first Softlips chapstick that I truly enjoyed this smelled and tasted so so good. I love that warm coconut sunscreen type vibe. This also felt really nice and smooth on my lips.
Repurchase: Yes
Makeup (1)
Stila Huge Extreme Lash Mascara one of my most favorite mascaras it gives a lot of volume and curl and length and it is really black and thickening I love it.
Repurchase: Eventually if I ever work through all the mascaras I have
Perfume (2)
Juicy Couture Mini Spray La La got this with a purchase of another
perfume and just used it up in a few days on a trip. I like La La a lot it is
one of my more favorite Juicy Couture Perfumes.
Repurchase: No
Givenchy Very Irresistible this didn’t give me an allergic reaction despite having rose in it but it did give me a headache so I would not wear again.
Repurchase: No
Haircare (1)
AG Cleansing Cream I like this cleansing cream enough to use it while I am traveling but I don’t feel like it does enough for my hair to want to purchase it in a full size.
Repurchase: No
Declutter (5)
Body Prescriptions Micellar Foaming Cleanser I did not like this
at all it felt very stripping on my face but also like it wasn’t cleaning at
the same time. Just kinda sucked.
Pur Big Look Waterproof Mascara ugh this is awful it looks like
nothing on my lashes it smudges horribly and because it is waterproof it is
really hard to take off despite the fact that is smudges.
Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Kohl Kajal
Eyeliner Trio Green Eyes (Purple) could this name be any longer? This comes in
a three pack with a green and a black I believe. The color is super pretty this
nice bright shimmer purple but it takes a lot of pressure to apply and it
smudges and fades off relatively quickly and I just can’t find a way to make it
work for me.
Sugar Contour De Force Mini Highlighter in 01 Champagne Champion
this is fine but I have so many highlighters and this just isn’t special enough
for me to keep it is just an average champagne highlighter.
Kiko
Long Lasting Stick in 25 I love these eyeshadow sticks and they stay creamy a
really long time and they don’t crease or get weird on my eyelids. I just am
not into this really light grey/taupe color anymore I legit have this in like
ten other colors though.
So very few things used up this month but that’s ok I know August will be better.
Another month and still not totally recovered from everything that happened this month. Hoping July will be better.
Also I fucked up and there is no giant picture just a collage sorry about that.
Anything denoted with * was sent free in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Not every free thing is good we all know that lol.
Skincare (13)
NuFace Prep-n-Glow Dual Sided Cloth I have waxed lyrical about
these being my favorite face wipes they really feel like they are cleaning and
exfoliating and improving my skin when I use on but they are expensive so I
only use them as a special treat for my skin. I tend to use my Macy’s box
coupon when I get a ten dollar one to pick up a box of these.
Repurchase: Yes
Clinique Take the Day Off Balm
I love this cleansing balm it takes my makeup off so easy and quick with
out stinging my eyes. I like the Farmacy one like maybe 3% more but it is a lot
more expensive.
Repurchase: Yes
First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads (10 pads) I still don’t feel
like I know how I feel about these but I do think that they aren’t worth the
money.
Repurchase: No
Valjean Labs Firm Facial Serum I really liked this serum I used it
for my neck and chest and it was really nice and moisturizing and not to
sticky.
Repurchase: Probably
Differin Gel I have been super curious about Differin Gel since it
went over the counter and I liked this sample it felt like it was working to
start to clean up and improve my skin and I noticed a backslide in my acne when
I finished this but I also got my period at that same time so it’s a bit hard
to tell since the period acne is strong with my skin. It is affordable though
so I probably will try this again.
Repurchase: Maybe
Global Beauty Care Cucumber Extract Wipes so not something I would
buy on my on since it’s a bit of a knock off brand I won this at a bridal
shower and really liked them. Ive actually really liked everything I have tried
from this Global Beauty Care brand that you can find at like Five Below and
Walmart and one of the drug stores but can’t remember which. These were very
similar to the green Garnier ones I like a lot.
Repurchase: Maybe
Wander Beauty Lift Off Purifying Peel Off Face Mask this mask is
heavily dyed and doesn’t feel like it does much. It was a fun but useless mask
it was easy to pull off it was fun having the pretty purple color on but it did
nothing for my skin. I have this in a full size and based on the sample this
mask is like $5.67 a use which is too much for it doing nothing. I’ll use it
for funsies but don’t really recommend for actually benefits.
Repurchase: No
Sunday Riley C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum I don’t know
that I saw a difference while using this or if it was in my head since any
difference I saw was really really slight.
Repurchase: No, Not convinced it does anything
Tony Moly I’m Lemon Brightening Gel Eye Patch loved this eye mask
it really did a lot of brightening and hydrating after a rough sleepless night
and a whole day of work and then I needed to go out so these were a plus and
they stuck on decent I chucked them on while I was doing eyeshadow and they
stayed on pretty well there was only minimal sliding as I was moving around.
Repurchase: Yes
Korres Greek Yoghurt Foaming Cream Cleanser I don’t really like
this it is to creamy for me I feel like it leaves a film on my skin I think I
have more of these so I will get through them but I don’t like it.
Repurchase: No
Tarte Frxxxtion Stick love
this one of my favorite exfoliators it is easy and mess free and convenient.
Its great at its job I love it top 5 favorite exfoliators.
Repurchase: Yes
Biobelle #beautyscoop Sheet
Mask this was ice I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. It was really
hydrating.
Repurchase: Maybe
*L’oreal Pure Clay Mask Exfoliate and Refine this was my least favorite of the L’oreal masks but overall I really really like their clay mask line. I personally don’t like gritty exfoliating clay masks that’s just me so that is why I didn’t love this one but if you do like that I do recommend this.
Repurchase: Yes
Random (2)
So Shadey Cotton Rounds these
were from Forever 21 and they still sell cotton pads under this brand but not
these round ones anymore. These were a really good deal a three pack for just a
around $2 I think. I liked these thy were sturdy and soft and don’t leave fuzz
on my face. I will probably try the other ones they sell now.
Repurchase: I would
Boscia Charcoal Makeup Melt Cleansing Oil Balm this was awful this made my skin burn and feel sticky and it wouldn’t rinse off and wasn’t that great at removing makeup. I used it to wash m y brushes to just get rid of it because I couldn’t return it. This was horrible.
Repurchase: No, I wouldn’t ever touch this again.
Home Scents (3)
Columbia Candle Supply Wax Melt in Caribbean Salsa meh not my
favorite wax melt this one didn’t have enough scent for me and the big chuck of
like confetti like glitter in it were such a pain in the ass to clean out of my
wax melter.
Repurchase: No
Bath and Body Works White Caramel Cold Brew smells like Starbucks.
Repurchase: Yes
DW Home Bergamot Lemongrass Candle this had no throw in my opinion but my gf loved the scent and said it had a great throw so it just shows that everyone’s nose is so different.
Repurchase: No
Lotion (2)
Bath and Body Works Body Lotion in Happiness one of my favorite
scents from them.
Repurchase: Yes
Soap and Glory Hand Food in Call of Fruity this wasn’t that great of a lotion it was not really very hydrating and the smell was just so so. I was very disappointed I had hoped this would make up for them taking away my favorite scent Orangasm slash bought this for the Call of Duty reference.
Repurchase: No
Bodycare (3)
Victoria Secret Double Shot Coffee Shop Dual-Phase Vanilla Wash I
loved the scent of this it smelled like a vanilla latte it was awesome. The
consistency I could not get own with though it was legit the consistency of
brewed coffee so I felt like I wasn’t really getting the clean sudsy feeling
that I like and because it was so think I feel like a lot spilled on the shower
floor and was wasted.
Repurchase: No
Fortune Cookie Soap Company God of Thunder Coffee Body Polish this
was so messy I hate really messy scrubs this was like dumping coffee grounds on
my shower floor.
Repurchase: No
Fortune Cookie Soap Company The Boy Who Never Grew Up Shampoo Bar I used this for shaving because I don’t like shampoo bars for my hair I find them too difficult to wash with. This smelled so good and fruity and light. It also worked really well as shave cream. This could actually be pretty useful for travel now that I think about it. The wrapper was too gross to save.
Repurchase: Maybe, but not for its intended purpose
Perfume (1)
Givenchy Dahlia Divin Pefurme I love this perfume I have it in a full size. I was cleaning and found all these weird samples from when I got the full size and decided to try and use them. Who outs perfume in essentially a bag? It was really hard to use so weird.
Repurchase: I already own the full size
Haircare (1)
Fortune Cookie Soap Company Crushin’ Leave in Conditioner not my
favorite leave in conditioner didn’t do much but great yummy sweet scent.
Repurchase: No
Declutter (5)
Fortune Cookie Soap Company I Put a Smell on You Perfume Oil
this was from the Halloween collection they did based on Hocus Pocus this
smelled really good in the bottle like a champagne to me but on it settled down
into a very heavy powdery old musk type of scent that gave me a headache and is
the definition of scents I hate. So I gave it to my mom to see if she would
like it.
Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Chai I just don’t love the
Bite formula I find it really heavy and uncomfortable.
Medusa’s Makeup Totally Baked Eyeshadow in Awesome this is
not the greatest of purples it needs to be built up a lot and then in looks
chunky. I gave this it’s one last chance it’s not for me.
Tattoo Junkee Glo-Lite Highlighter in Mystical I love their liquid lipsticks so I had to try this highlighter and oh god no. It is a pretty color a pink with a strong gold reflect but it sits terribly on the skin it really chunky and shows all the pores in my skin and makes texture where there is none. Nyx Matte Lipstick in Pure Red I like the formula of this one but not the color. Pure red is a very orangey red and I am not for that at all.
I am trying to wear every single lipstick I own and work through which ones I actually want and which ones I don’t because I jsut have an overwhelming amount of lipstick so expect alot of lipsticks in the declutter section in the coming months.
Sorry this is so late this month. I lost my dog my little best friend a total bright spot with a giant personality and I have just been missing him to much to really do anything extra right now. Any one who has ever lost a pet understands. I am just so sad right now.
My perfect baby boy
I was on a vacation in May and I am not in the habit of bring trash home with me so there are so extra pictures of those products included that are not in the final round up.

South Mane Eye Gels I really enjoyed these and this was my
last pair I got them in a Boxycharm awhile back. These were really hydrating
and stay on my face really well as I was walking around and doing things.
Repurchase: Yes
Sweet & Shimmer Face & Body Mini Wipes in Frosted Berry I
love these for swatches they take off swatches really well and they smell great
I always pick these up for that purpose probably always will. I also love that
they are mini size so I don’t feel like I am wasting anything because you don’t
need giant wipes for swatches.
Repurchase: Yes
Patchology Clear Skin Sheet Mask this felt nice and smelled nice
and felt soothing but it didn’t clear my skin this is not worth the price at
all. I kinda feel like any sheet mask that claims to do anything other then
moisturize, brighten or soothe doesn’t actually work.
Repurchase: No
Bath and Body Works Face & Body Mist this is from the
water line that was alcohol free. I liked the smell of this it was and it was a
nice refreshing face mist. It didn’t rock my world but I liked using it.
Repurchase: Maybe
Make Dual-Phase Eye Makeup Remover I never used this to
actually remove my makeup I used it on Q-Tips as a way to clean up and touch up
mistakes while doing my makeup it was good at that and didn’t leave an oil
gross residue on my face.
Repurchase: Maybe
Fresh Black Tea Instant
Perfecting Mask this makes my skin really kinda greasy I don’t love it. Maybe
if you have really dry skin but I didn’t like it that much. I had to just use
it on drier spots.
Repurchase: No
Pur The Grinch Mask Sampler
Glitterally Gold I legit have no feelings about this mask I just was not
impressed by any of them and don’t think they were worth it.
Repurchase: No
Belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb I really liked this it was very
moisturizing. I don’t feel ike it hase much in the way of treatment or
anti-aging but feels really nice and cool and hydrating and I liked that. I
feel like the Neutrogena HydroBoost Eye Get is a total dupe for this and I like
the packaging of that better so I would buy that over this especially for the
price. I will happily use all the samples I have of this though.
Repurchase: No
Peter Thomas Roth Acne Clearing Wash this is fine as an acne wash
didn’t leave my skin overly dry and had a nice light lemon scent but I don’t
spend money on pricey face wash I think that is silly since it is in contact
with your face for so little time that any drug store face wash is just fine.
Repurchase: No
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel I like this moisturizer a lot it
is great but I was flying and this wasn’t quite hydrating enough for how that
kinda of plane dehydration but that’s ok normally this is a great moisturizer
for oily skin.
Repurchase: Yes
Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer I tried to use this as
my sunscreen on my face since it has spf 30 it broke me out as a lot of
sunscreens do so no go for me though still used it up because I only brought a
few sample sizes to try out.
Repurchase: No
Aveeno Absolutely Ageless Daily Moisturizer this had a weird scent
like blackberries mixed with florals. I didn’t like it. It also broke me out like the other Aveeno
one.
Repurchase: No
Supergoop! Superscreen Daily Moisturizer SPF 40 PA+++ I like super
goop sunscreens they don’t break me out they don’t smell weird but they can be
kinda heavy and this one was very thick and heavy I don’t like that.
Repurchase: No
Clinique Take the Day Off Makeup Remover Towelettes these smell
awful like gasoline or something they do work but they are not as soft or as
wet as I like my face wipes to be. I have quite a few packs of these because I
got them very cheap and they are great for travel but wouldn’t repurchase. They
do work fine I just don’t love them.
Repurchase: No
Bioderma Sensibio Eye Contour Gel I hated this eye cream I hate
the the sample couldn’t be sealed it was just an open tip. And I hated hot this
felt under my eyes and I feel like it made my dark circles worse this was
terrible.
Repurchase: No, Wouldn’t even use it again
Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm I love this with all my
heart and soul it is my favorite balm to take my eye makeup off it doesn’t
sting you don’t have to tug at your eyes I love it so much. Was so excited to
have this little sample I could bring with me.
Repurchase: Yes
Kate Somerville EradiKate Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment this was a
decent spot treatment but where it really excelled was it actually made my skin
around the pimple look healthier which made the pimple look less bad if that
makes sense I don’t think it does.
Repurchase: Maybe
Exuviance Probiotic Lysate Anti-Pollution Essence this made my
skin look and feel really blotchy and congested I don’t think this is a good
product for me and I don’t even totally get what it is supposed to do.
Repurchase: No
Dr. Brandt
Microdermabrasion Scrub not my favorite facial scrub as I have said here so
many times but I will use it when I have samples.
Repurchase: No
Freeman Hydrating Cactus + Cloudberry Water Gel Mask one of my
most favorite moisturizers (yes I know it is supposed to be a mask). I like to
put this on I a thick layer and it soaks in so well and leave my face feeling
so hydrated and plump but not sticky.
Repurchase: Yes
Random (11)
Dr. Pedicure Foot Exfoliating
Mask this is a foot peeling mask it did its job it peeled and made my feel
softer but this peeled off in such an awful way like it itty bitty flakey
pieces instead of giant chunks and took a very long time to peel off I would
rather the Baby Foot one or the TonyMoly one.
Repurchase: No
Degree Motion Sense Deodorant Fresh Energy my favorite deodorant.
Repurchase: Yes
Fortune Cookie Soap Company Veggie Protein Deodorant in The
Captain I like these natural deodorants for when I am not going out or just
like running a few errands they smell nice they work well and they don’t irate
my skin.
Repurchase: Yes
Pink Pewter Hair Ties
normally I wouldn’t put hair ties in my empties but when they are this freaking
expensive like over 12 dollars I feel like I have too. I really liked these
they don’t leave dents in my hair or give me headaches but they also don’t hold
my hair up super well and they stretch our really easy these are like the
sweatpants of hair ties.
Repurchase: Maybe
Dove Advanced Care Cool Essentials Deodorant this was actually a
really good deodorant. It wasn’t overly scent and it was smooth and worked
well.
Repurchase: Maybe
Sweet & Shimmer Brush Cleansing Wipes (6) these are a game changer for me they made it so that I only had to bring a few eye brushes. These don’t clean them but they get the shadow off so that you can use other shadows and not ruin your look.
Repurchase: Yes
Home Scents (6)
Fortune Cookie Soap Hidden
Rebel Base Fabric & Room Spray this smells exactly like the Norway
Pavillion of Epcot not a scent I am super fond of at all but it is nostalgic
and not quite as pungent as the Norway smell so I was able to use it up.
Repurchase: No
Bath and Body Works
Summertime Soda Pop Candle I liked this one a lot it smelled a lot like orange
soda and I love orange and citrus scents.
Repurchase: Yes
Bath and Body Works Scent
Portable in Pomegranate or at least I think it was pomegranate. I like the
scent portables they are alright I like when I get them for free most of the ones
I have I have gotten for free I wouldn’t pay for them even though they do last
way longer than a little tree would.
Repurchase: Yes
Basin Fresh Soap I don’t know
what scent/name this was, it isn’t on the website, I bought it in a little
value pack that was made of like I assume leftover scraps or messed up cuts so
I could try a few scents this one was super cute and bright smelling it was
yellow with lots of different colored Mickey heads I the soap. This little ass
bar lasted me like 9+ months of hand washing It takes along time to go through
a bar soap.
Repurchase: Maybe, but I have
a lot of soap right now
Bath and Body Works
Wallflower in Lemon & Fig I did not like this it had basically no scent. I
find that like half the wallflower scents work really well and half are too
strong or have no scent.
Repurchase: No
Fortune Cookie Soap Company Personal Space Air Freshener this was Mountain Dew Scented so I used mostly on my girlfriend’s stuffs since that is her favorite soda and it was kinda a fun little thing but I am glad it was small because it would be weird to have to use this like all the time.
Repurchase: No
Lip (2)
FCS Lip Balm I don’t remember
the scent or even when I got this tiny little guy. It isn’t my favorite lip
balm I have ever had from them but it was as moisturizing and comfortable as
all of the ones I have from them. This had too much of a dark tint that it was
messy to wear and had a very strong scent/flavor that it almost stung on my
lips. The scent was really yummy just way too strong for a lip balm.
Repurchase: No
Chapstick Total Hydration Lip Scrub this was like a nice sweet mint flavor but had a chemically after taste. This was one of those lip scrubs that I feel like you have to chase around your mouth to scrub your lips. Not my favorite type of thing. I really prefer a more solid scrub.
Repurchase: No
Makeup (5)
Too Faced Hangover Rx Replenishing Face Primer I don’t feel like
this did much for my skin, or the look of my makeup it was like a bit of
nothing on the face.
Repurchase: No
Mac in Extreme 3D Black
Lash I never like Mac mascara samples I think the little tubes make the mascara
too dry and I hate the sample brushes.
Repurchase: No
Sephora 12hr Colorful
Contour Eyeliner 01 Black Lace this I
love but is has gotten to the point where it is too hard to sharpen so I have
to call it done. This was so soft and creamy ad black and really stayed in my
waterline so well.
Repurchase: Definitely
Nars Pro-Prime Smudge Proof
Eyeshadow Base in Original this made my eyeshadow crease the more often then
not.
Repurchase: No
Smashbox Photofinish Primer Water this was a great Mac Fix+ type of product but I think I prefer Fix+ to this. This has a funky scent is just a bit tackier then Fix+.
Repurchase: No
Lotions (2)
Hempz Triple Moisture Herbal Whipped Body Cream I love the scent
of this so herbally and fresh and the lotions are quite hydrating. The
frustrating part was that I could not get everything out of this bottle it was
so annoying.
Repurchase: Maybe
Bath and Body Works Hot Cocoa and Cream Body Cream love the scent of this smells like a Hershey bar. I am not a fan of their body creams I prefer their body butters or the lotions but I would legit buy anything in this scent I don’t even care.
Repurchase: Yes
Bodycare (5)
Gillette Venus Shower Shave Cream in Vanilla Crème I do like
shaving creams to shave with though I do prefer shaving oils. This was ok it
wasn’t the greatest and it didn’t give the greatest shave I am not super picky
I will use whatever is available to shave with. This had a nice vanilla cream
scent but it is too pricey I feel for shaving since it isn’t that great. This
came in like a Christmas pack which is how I ended up with it because I would
not have purchased it. You are also supposed to be able to use it as body wash
too but that just seems like a way to use up your shaving cream super fast so
you buy more. And there is no reason why you can shave with like a normal body
wash if you wanted to.
Repurchase: No
Fortune Cookie Soap Company Smuggler Sugar & Spice Body Polish
I seem to have lost the picture I took of the bag when I decanted this into a
different container because I wasn’t going to keep a bag in my shower and let
it melt and get gross. I also really didn’t like this at all I was not a fan of
the spicy scent it had and it was very rough and super messy. Like I had to
wash my whole shower after.
Repurchase: No
Spongelle in Papaya Yuzu I love these Spongelle sponges they are
so convenient for traveling and there is so many more washes in the sponges
then the labels claim. I liked the scent
on the sponge but on my skin it turned a little sour on my skin.
Repurchase: Not this one
Tommy Bahama Conditioner I used this to shave it was fine, it was free and it was there.
Repurchase: No
Tommy Bahama Shampoo same as above.
Repurchase: No
Perfume (7)
YSL Black Opium Perfume this
was nice I liked it. That’s all I really remember about it. I have so much
perfume its hard to impress me into wanting to buy something.
Repurchase: No
Zoella Blissful Mistful
Perfume I got a four pack of all different scents of these around Christmas and
I am killing myself to use them up because I really don’t like them the sprayer
quality is really cheap and the perfumes smell cheap and doesn’t last long at
all. I have been trying to layer them with other perfumes or spray them in my
hair wear them around the house anything to just get them used up. This had a
fresh kinda scent it wasn’t the most offensive of the bunch which is why it got
used up first.
Repurchase: No
Kat Von D Saint Perfume this
smells fine nice and light and sweet but I wouldn’t buy or recommend it.
Repurchase: No
Givenchy L’Interdit Perfume I liked this I like all Givenchy
Perfumes pretty much. This smelled like raspberries to me but no one else
seemed to think so.
Repurchase: No
Commodity Gold Perfume this smelled super sweet and warm I liked
it a lot.
Repurchase: Maybe
Vera Wang Embrace Perfume
hated this it smelled to feminine and old on me.
Repurchase: No
Simply Belle Perfume this just smelled awful like bathroom potpourri.
Repurchase: No
Haircare (5)
Wen Pomegranate Re-Moist Intensive Hair Treatment this is so
pricey that I would never buy this again I will start by saying that. This was
a decently nice moisturizing mask made my hair feel really nice. It was great
but not $50 great. This pot wasn’t even enough to cover my entire head of hair.
Repurchase: No
Ojon Damage Reversal Hair
Serum this is thick and doesn’t smell that pleasant. I don’t think this did
anything for my hair at all. I have another and I will use it but it was not
that special.
Repurchase: No
Bad, Baby Dry Shampoo Pen this was barely enough for one use and
it barely did anything in my hair.
Repurchase: No
Bumble and Bumble Bb. Pret-a-Powder Tres Invisible Dry Shampoo
this left such a dull grey cast in my hair and it was really heavy and sticky.
Repurchase: No
Tarte Maracuja Oil not my favorite oil for hair but it does the job. It is much thicker and dryer then I would normally use but since this is a multi-use oil it is great for travel in case I need an oil for anything else.
Repurchase: Probably Not, Would probably grab an argan oil for this purpose in my life
Declutter (13)
Eco Tools Powder Brush I don’t remember the number of this
brush I just don’t like this type of brush but the brush itself is fine. I find
it too messy to set with it just picks up the powder to inconsistently when you
use loose powder and it doesn’t pick up enough of pressed powders for me to use
it for like a bronzer it just doesn’t work for me. I feel like if you bake this
would be great at brushing off a bake but I don’t bake.
Mac Retro Matte Liquid Lip Color in Fallen Angel this was
from the Kabuki Magic Collection in 2017. I wanted to love this. I love the
color that bruised vampy berry is my kinda shade and I love the name. But this
wears terrible on me it never dries does really it is patchy as hell, it it
slides all over my faces and gets on my teeth like just from breathing not even
taling or trying to drink something it was just a bad formula.
Butter London Glazen Eye Gloss in Starlight this dried out but it
just never worked for me as an eyeshadow or as a highlighter this was just
kinda not pigmented and overly glittery.
Ciate London Highlighter in Moondust this is a highlighter
that looks super pretty in photos but doesn’t wear well at all. It has a lot of
shimmer/glitter in it but it doesn’t hang together well so all the glitter
ended up just migrating all over my face which wasn’t a great look. The
highlight portion actually stuck around and was visible for hours and nice but
the glitter just made it a hot mess.
Peek Beauty It’s Not Eyeshadow Primer (2) this was a cool
little duo that has a black and a white primer in it I actually used the shit
out of these for awhile but they are shimmery bases and I like matte bases now
and probably will never use this again. I had a back up because I did actually
use it a lot and my friend and I both got these in subscription boxes and she
didn’t want hers. These are really great quality I actually used about half of
it up and we all know eye primers are like the makeup product that never dies I
just don’t want the shimmer base look anymore.
BH Cosmetics Brushes (4) these are from a giant brush set I
bought like right before I started my blog I was like so excited to be able to
massively increase my brush collection but the problem with giant sets is you
get brushes that you will never use. These are just brush shapes/styles that I
don’t prefer so they are going.
Smoke & Mirrors Mini Holographic Stick in Rose Potion this was
too light for my skin tone it didn’t show up.
Crown Travel Brush Set these brushes are pretty awful
nothing would pick up on them and they applied everything really patchy and
messy these are not good quality they feel like they are plastic bristles.
Samples decluttering seven random foil packet samples that I will not use mostly they are foundations in not my shade I only count these as one item. It’s how I let myself be ok with letting go of them even though I know that I will never use them.
