nightmareb4

Better late then never I hope. Grad school has been so so busy and work has been busy and I have just not had time to do anything. But I am back now. with a bunch of empties and then a bunch of box reviews coming at you all this week.

Here’s all the items together

Declutter

I beat up a bit on poor Medusa’s Makeup here this month.

Medusa’s Makeup Blush in Dangerous Liaison I don’t do blush and it didn’t work out as an eyeshadow so off it goes.

Medusa’s Makeup Body Shimmer in Healthy this was chunky powdery flakey city it looked terrible on my skin.

Medusa’s Makeup Baked Eyeshadow in Bitchin this was flakey and powdery as well. The other shades of the baked eyeshadow preform much better.

Coloupop supershock shadow I didn’t like the formula the it was no pigment and patches of glitter.

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in Psycho this is a sheer red with purple glitter it was cool for a one time look but the glitter came off on everything so I didn’t want to wear it again.

IT Cosmetics Your Lips But Better Lip Liner I just don’t really use lip liner and this just was not a flattering tone on my lips.

Skin Care

elf Mineral Mist I really really enjoyed this it had witch hazel and then a bunch of other things in it and really made my skin just feel nice and refreshed.

Repurchase: Yes

Herbivore Lapis facial oil this is supposed to be good for clearing skin but this left my face a greasy oily gross mess. The Sunday Riley UFO oil I have been trying and that seems to be working much better.

Repurchase: No

Sephora Green Tea Sleeping Mask I love this it really mattifies the skin nicely and is great to wear to bed before before you are going to wear a full face of make up or have to be out running around and getting sweat and oily. I have already bought another pack and others to try.

Repurchase: Yes

Biore Baking Soda Pore Cleanser this was nice it did an ok job of scrubbing out my pores but I still like the orange one more.

Repurchase: No

IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Lines Serum eh didn’t impress me and was sticky.

Repurchase: No

Sunday Riley Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream also did not impress me but I have a few samples left of it.

Repurchase: No

Clinique Cleanser its an ok cleanser it works but it isn’t special.

Repurchase: No

Clinique Exfloliator this was cool it was in a wipe I’ve never seen it that way from Clinique before but it was very harsh.

Repurchase: No

Clinique Moisturizer it does work for my oily skin but I get enough samples that I won’t purchase.

Repurchase: No

Face Wipes

Pixi Glow Tonic To Go Glycolic Acid Toner pads these smelled so floral and I don’t think they agreed with my skin.

Repurchase: No

Oxy pads these were my ride or die forever but I am trying to avoid alcohol in my skin care for awhile and see if that helps my skin so I wont be opening my new jar for awhile it is a little bitter sweet.

Repurchase: Maybe

Ole Hendrickson Grease Relief Cleansing Cloths these are really awesome scrubbing face wipes and they really absorb all the oil off your face. I really enjoyed them a little too much I was using them so much that I actually started irritating and stripping my skin. So word of caution.

Repurchase: Yes

Accure Coconut and Argan Oil wipes these were ok nothing special.

Repurchase: No

Hair Care

Briogeo Don’t Despair Repair hair mask this made my hair really soft but gave it way more volume then I like in my hair.

Repurchase: No

Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo my favorite dry shampoo of all time the scent is great it leave my hair clean and soft and I love it.

Repurchase: Yes

Makeup

Dr. Jart+ BB Cream this had a weird consistency and was way to light for me.

Repurchase: No

Sephora Lashcraft Mascara this was really clumpy and dry I did not like.

Repurchase: No

Lip Balm

The Organic Pharmacy Antioxidant Lip Balm this was the most amazing lip balm I have ever used in my life. It was this amazing fruit scent/flavor was so rich and smooth and moisturizing. It was a clear gel so it made my lips really glossy for a long time. It is also $22 so I can’t bring myself to buy it, because that it clinically insane for a lip balm.

Repurchase: No 🙁

Blistex Complete Moisture lip balm this was great but really idk how to explain the texture it almost mushed when you put it on so it got used up very fast.

Repurchase: Yes

Perfume

Burberry My Burberry Blush perfume I like this it was fruity but I don’t often buy perfume because they are expensive even though I love them I pretty much wait until I get them as gifts.

Repurchase: No

Vince Camuto Ciao I like his shoes his perfumes not so much.

Repurchase: No

Random

Bath Pouf

Bath and Body Works Hand Sanitizer in Noir

Well I know its so late that no one cares but for my records at least I have it posted only 3 months left to the year and so close to doubling my original goal. I am really impressed with myself though it is getting harder to use things up.

What’s In My Trash (A.K.A. An Empties Post) August 2017

nightmareb4

So most of these were used up while I was on vacation so there is not giant picture this month because I just was not flying with trash in my bad that is just a little too much crazy for me. So this will just be a little all over the place.

Skin Care

Tarte Maracuja C Brightener Eye Treatment I liked this at first but then I don’t know I don’t feel like it really did that much. This was just kinda eh.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works True Blue Spa Cracked Heel Treatment don’t waste your money the smell of this made me gag and it didn’t do anything it was terrible.

Repurchase: No

Ulta Sugar Cookie Macaroon Face and Body Wipes these I buy every Holiday Season they always smell so good they aren’t really that great but they are fun and cheap. They are pretty good for refreshing your body if you’re sweaty I keep them in my work bag. But they probably are not the best for your skin being packed with alcohol and fragrance.

Repurchase: Yes

Buff Her Crumbs Vanilla Exfoliator this is one of those powders that you can mix with anything I did not like this it did not exfoliate well didn’t even smell that good the jar was cute though. I got this in an Ipsy bag a long time ago ad finally got around to using it but it sucked.

Repurchase: No

Miss Spa Facial Peel off Mask in Pore Refining I don’t remember if this did anything for me or not but I do remember that it peeled off really well it was an enjoyable peeling mask and that is what is important in a peel mask lol. My face was softer after. I do like this brand but I only pick stuff up on a whim.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bliss Fabulous Makeup Up Melt this is one of those gel oil cleansers that melts your makeup off it didn’t work that well and left tons of makeup on my skin. It smelled nice and was gentle but it just wasn’t effective.

Repurchase: No

Biore Baking Soda Acne Scrub I love these baking soda and charcoal scrubs from Biore but I am still trying to find my absolute favorite I can’t decide yet but they do all work to make my skin feel clean and nice and not oily.

Repurchase: Yes

Sephora Mud Mask Purifying & Mattifying this was awful. I have another sample of this and probably will declutter it. This was impossible to get off and did nothing for my skin at all. It actuall hurt and made my skin really irritate to try and scrub it off

Repurchase: NO!

Simple Micellar Cleansing Facial wipes people love these but I don’t get it they really didn’t work at all to clean anything off my face not makeup not oil or dirt nothing. Total Fail.

Repurchase: No

Sephora Express Eye Makeup Remover Wipes these didn’t work well had I had to tug and rub at my eyes alot which is not something I want to be doing.

Repurchase: No

Studio 35 Beauty Detoxifying Mask this is Walgreens house brand. My skin freaked out after flying and looked horrible so I bought this for like a dollar or two to try and make my skin relax because it was a honey mask and that usually helps my skin calm down. This was awesome I loved it it really helped clean up and calm my skin down heal up my acne and pull out alot of the random oil that was pouring out of my skin I will definitely be buying more for when my skin acts up.

Repurchase: YES!

Dove Purely Pampering Body Wash I have the full size of this in a different scent. I hate them I do not like Dove soap. They are too moisturizing I do not feel clean after I shower I feel like I Just put lotion on dirt I do not like it. If you have very dry skin this may be for you It’s just more moisture then my skin knows what to do with.

Repurchase: No

Bliss Lemon and sage body butter this smelled so good I love the additon of sage or basil into body care it reminds me of my grandmother”s garden when I was little and it helps cute any sweetness or two much citrus.

Repurchase: Yes

Tarte Guard Sunscreen spf 30 this was good face sunscreen it did not break me out. I do not often use sunscreen it often leaves me broken out or with read itchy rashes this did not so I would consider picking it up if I was ever in the market for sunscreen.

Repurchase: Maybe

Makeup

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer hey we all know and love this primer I have never owned a full size I always have tons of samples. its a good primer but I have so many ad get so many free that I really don’t buy primers.

Repurchase: No only because I have so many

Glamglow Glowstarter in Nude Glow I really want to buy this and darker shade but they are so expensive this just makes my skin look lovely and healthy ad glowy and even with out having to put any foundation on. So obviously it doesn’t wear or look like I have any coverage it is like a your skin but better moisturizer. I’m into it Because I don’t love wearing foundation.

Repurchase: One day

Benefit Fakeup Concealer I don’t even know if they make this any more this is a weird consistency it is like a liquid cream matte stick its like the strangest thing it does work and it doesn’t crease if you don’t put a ton on but eve a touch to much and it looks like crap. Its really hard to use. It looks nice if yo put it on right but if you don’t it looks terrible.

Repurchase: No

Benefit Porefessional hey another oldie I used to love this but not I am just trying to use it up it doesn’t work for me any more and balls up under my skin it never used to do that but this used to be a product I loved it just isn’t working for me anymore I do still recommend it I think it just works a little better for younger skin.

Repurchase: No

Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation I hate that this looked great because it is pricey but when I need new foundation I may have to pick this up if I can find a good shade match this was obviously a sample so it was close but not perfect. It really is a liquid that dried to a nice smooth powder finish and right now at least this seems to be the texture that my skin likes in a foundation and anything else can sit weird if I don’t take alot of time to buff it in well. This is a perfect formula for everyday quick makeup.

Repurchase: One day

Hair Care

L’oreal Smooth Intense Shampoo, preconditioner and conditioner I did not like this. It left my hair sticky and not smooth or straight.

Repurchase: No

Rich oil sorry I do not at all know what brand this is. It was nice but very thick much to thick for my hair. It took forever to absorb.

Repurchase: No

Colour oil same unknown brand this was lighter and a little nicer but it was greasy and maybe my hair need to be washed much quicker.

Repurchase: No

Wen in pomegranate I do really like this it does work well on my hair and it is easy to rinse out but I am trying a new cleansing conditioner to see how I like it.

Repurchase: Yes

Vernon Francois Co-Wash Shampoo I’d love to have an opinion on this co-wash since I am in the process of testing new ones out. Unfortunately there was not even enough in this sample to wash the ends of my hair. This was a real bullshit sample.

Repurchase: No

Perfume

Atelier Cologne Clementine California I love Atelier colognes so much this one is not as good as the Orange Sanguine though and for the price I would  pick that over this. Both are lovely citrus scents but the Orange Sanguine is warmer and lasts longer Clementine is too light and fades much to quickly on me for the price.

Repurchase: No

Cartier Declaration this was nice to try very strong and long lasting but not something I am super interested in. I would enjoy another sample but won’t be buying this.

Repurchase: No

Nest Indigo ooh this was way to fucking strong it gave me a headache I have not been a huge fan of any Nest scents they are just too strong for me. And I like strong scents so this is really overwhelming.

Repurchase: No

Tocca Giulietta this was way to flowery and girly not a scent I enjoy I like warm sweet scents and fruity scents.

Repurchase: No

Household

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Polyjuice Potion Personal Space Air Freshener this is one of their permanent scents it is a lovely fresh lemon lime type scent can you see the theme here I am clearly partial to citrus scents. This bottle has lasted me forever I mean like over a year and a half.

Repurchase: Yes

Random

Charcoal toothbrush I really like using charcoal toothbrushes and toothpaste to in addition to regular toothpaste. They do temporarily make my teeth a little brighter and take away some stains they also make my moth feel clean and is fairly gentle but there is not normal mint taste and they are messy so it isn’t always practical.

Repurchase: Yes

Sally Hansen Finishing Oil this is what I like to use after I wax my eyebrows to take off the wax and help soothe my skin. I do not know if you can buy this in a full size or if you can only get it in the waxing kits. I’ve only every gotten it in the waxing kits.

Repurchase: Yes

Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant this really was put to the ringer in Florida and it did a decent job of keeping away smell and sweat but even it had to succumb to Florida’s August heat and humidity.

Repurchase: No

Random hotel mouthwash it tasted terrible.

Repurchase: No, Could you even probably not

GUM Fluoride Toothpaste this was an ok toothpaste the flavor was eh but it did its job.

Repurchase: No

Declutter

3 Victoria Secret Eyeshadows these were weird and cool but they are so very old they have to be like 8 years old at least. They are like a crushes up powder eyeshadow in a jar and the silver piece pulls off and has a sponge applicator that you apply the shadow with. They were great for like quick eyeshadow when I was running late in highschool but I have out grown these.

Pignose Clear Blackhead this was supposed to like heat up and help extract or clean out your black heads it never did anything for me no matter how I tried to use it and I’m giving up on this.

Olay Fresh Effects Spot Zinger this did diddly squat as a spot treatment. I much prefer Clearasil.

The Balm eyeshadow sample in Willkomen its just a boring brown I have a million don’t need a single of it. I’ll pass it on to some one who can use it.

This was a free chapstick I got somewhere it is horrible it has the worst thick oil petroleum jelly texture and it smells chemically.

Mostly misses this month like there were really very few things I enjoyed this month that’s kinda sad I like to enjoy my products so I guess it is good to be moving the crap I don’t like out of my collection. Though if I keep this kind of pace I may be able to double my years goal.

What’s In My Trash (A.K.A. An Empties Post) July 2017

nightmareb4

Look early this month, and with a massive amount of products. 2 of which got lost so there is no pictures of them.

Skin Care

 

 

Drunk Elephant La La Retro Whipped Cream I wish this wasn’t so expensive.  This is a  moisturizer I can actually use without it breaking me out. Which is strange since it is a very thick heavy facial cream.  It also has this really warm comforting homey smell almost like an almond mixed with oatmeal I don’t know exactly but it was nice. The $60 price tag makes me not want to buy it so I will probably either look for samples or something else that works for me.

Repurchase: Maybe

 

The Body Shop Tea Tree Facial Wash I really liked this I love the Tea Tree line from The Body shop my skin really reacts well to it and really starts to clear up when I use their products it doesn’t do much for pores and blackheads though.  This was a nice face wash it didn’t give me that squeaky clean feeling but it is good for a gentle cleanse.

Repurchase: Yes

 

Aveeno Active Naturals Positively Radiant 60 Second In-Shower Facial this was a really nice facial scrub I liked how I could put it on and then hop in the shower scrub it off. It did nothing for my pores or anything but it did leave my skin feeling soft and a little brighter.

Repurchase Yes

 

Aveeno Active Naturals Positively Radiant Overnight Hydrating Facial this was sticky but nice it does have that sticky silicone feel which I thought was odd for an overnight mask. I will not repurchase only because I have tons of moisturizers and this wasn’t overly exciting and it takes me forever to get through a moisturizer.

Repurchase: No

 

L’oreal Hydra Genius moisturizer this was kinda sticky and not for me.

Repurchase: No

 

Tony Moly I’m Real Skin Purifying Green Tea Sheet Mask I accidently threw this out rather than putting it in my empties bin oops.  Any way I didn’t like this at all full review in my July Ipsy Review.

Repurchase: No

 

Ren Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask this was crazy sticky but I got a few uses out of it. It really separated so you would get these chunks and then like an oil.  I think there have to be better acid masks out there I will have to look I also feel like I couldn’t see any noticeable difference when I would use this.

Repurchase: No

 

Sephora Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover I REALLY liked this it gets off my eye makeup with minimal tugging and doesn’t sting my eyes it is crazy oily so I have to immediately wash up but I can live with that.

Repurchase: Yes

 

Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask this was an intense mask it dried so hard that I like could not get it off my face I did not like that. It is a great mask and I would contemplate buying a travel size because it really did make my pores much smaller and cleaner looking and made my skin look nice but I don’t know that I could commit to using this frequently enough just yet with how difficult it is to get off.

Repurchase: Most Likely

 

Purity 3 in 1 cleanser I am not a huge fan of the purity line this cleanser is very gentle and very moisturizing but overall not something that excites me in any way. If you have dry skin or really like soft gentle cleansers this might be great. It also did not sting my eyes which is its only redeeming quality in my opinion.

Repurchase: No

 

Belief Aqua Bomb I have finally tried one of the infamous belief true creams. This was rather nice I can’t say for sure I’d buy it but I’d be glad for another sample. It was light and gel like which is how I like my moisturizers.

Repurchase: No

Face Wipes

 

Primark Men’s Scrub and Clean Facial Wipes these are great I’ve talked about them a bunch they are cheap and will take off your make up and they smell nice.  They won’t take off a full face of heavy glam make up but a normal day’s worth of makeup they have no problem with.

Repurchase: Yes

 

Cetaphil Men Daily Face Cloth this was more for like a refreshing wipe up not so much for really washing your face.  It was nice and thick and soft.

Repurchase: No

 

Anthony Glycolic Exfoliating & Resurfacing Wipes this was cool it is a wipe that has an exfoliating side and then a smooth side.  This was a huge wipe I was able to do my face, chest, and hands. Now this was great on my chest and really helped clear it up and helped and texture and discoloration but it really disagreed with the skin on my face. It left my tee tone very oily and broken out which I thought was odd. I liked the effect on my chest enough that I would give these another chance.

Repurchase: No

 

Makeup

 

Colourpop Crème Gel Liner in Bee Sting I love their liners they are so creamy and on me they really last. I was able to wear this on the waterline in Disney World and it lasted on me it was still there and bright at the end of the day. The only thing is they dry out super-fast if you don’t use them but for $5 I can let that slide.  This color its also a gorgeous blue I loved it.

Repurchase: Yes

 

Laura Geller Spackle Tinted Primer I really enjoyed this primer by itself it looks like it’d be way to glowy but under a matte foundation it looks so pretty and like I have great skin.  It doesn’t fil in pores but it still smooths the skin nicely.

Repurchase: Yes

 

NYX The Curve Liner I really like this but I know it got a lot of bad reviews. It was inky and smooth and did make it easier to line my eyes. It lasted for like over a year with out drying out but now it is starting to get dried out and hard to use so it is time to let it go.

Repurchase: Yes

 

Hair Care

 

Bumble and Bumble Bb Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Shampoo

Repurchase: Maybe

 

Bumble and Bumble Bb Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Conditioner

Repurchase: Yes

 

This was not pleasant to use it is rather thick and sticky and does not smell good so I thought this was not going to be good.  I was pleasantly surprised once my hair dried it was so soft and fluffy in a good way I just wanted to pet it.  I was soft and shiny and not frizzy I really liked it.

 

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Conditioner this conditioner smells great this bottle lasted me like 3 years.  I only use this when I was my hair with real shampoo rather than my cleansing creams It is super hydrating but I don’t know that it did that much for my frizziness. Any thick conditioner is pretty much good for me so I can’t say I would or wouldn’t repurchase I get whatever is a good price and looks interesting.

Repurchase: Maybe

 

Eva NYC Therapy Hair Mask this smells like a sandalwood candle it’s really nice just really unexpected for a mainstream hair mask it is a scent you’d expect from an indie brand.  It is a great mask just not for me. It was too volumizing and left my hair a little puffy but if you have very heavy thick hair that needs volume after a mask this would be great for you.

Repurchase: No

 

Perfume

I have 2 Cartier Declaration samples this is a nice woody perfume I really like it.  I probably will not purchase do to price.

Repurchase: No

 

Tory Burch Love Relentlessly perfume sample this is such a pretty scent I keep grabbing all the samples I can of it I may have to break down and buy this one.

Repurchase: Yes

 

Clean Reserve Citron Fig I really liked this it was a nice spicy mature citrus scent I really enjoyed it.

Repurchase: Yes

 

Mon Guerlain this was way to floral for me I’m not into it. Some how lost this sample while I was taken pictures oops.

Repurchase: No

 

Random

 

Lip Balm this is just a random lip balm I had around gotta love random non branded products from my favorite movie.

Repurchase: No

 

Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash used this up on I didn’t really like it Dove Body Washes tend to be too thick and moisturizing for me personally.

Repurchase: No

 

Degree Dry Protection Shower Clean Deodorant this was good didn’t stain my clothes and smelled nice.

Repurchase: Yes

 

Q-tips yea I don’t really think there is much to say about them we all use them and need them and I do prefer the Q-tip brand.

Repurchase: Yea, duh they are a staple

 

Shick Hydro 5 razor handle this is getting old and I had a new one so I switched out for a new razor handle.  I like men’s razors they have more blades and are cheaper so you get a better shave.

Repurchase: Yes

 

Shick Hydro 5 Edge Shave Gel this is ok I got it in a gift set it just isn’t something I’d go out and buy.

Repurchase: No

 

Bath & Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar Foaming Sugar Scrub this scrub is a million times better than the one I tried in the jar. This foams a little which helps with washing it off and it has an ok amount of scrub not enough for serious exfoliation but a good amount for a nice light scrub. The Warm Vanilla Sugar scent is really warm and comforting.

Repurchase: Yes

 

Lotion

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Here Lies Whipped Cream, drink every time I mention a product from this company on the blog lol I go through at least one of these a month since they are small batches the consistency is not always exactly the same this one was a little stickier then I prefer but still I love these.  Say it with me now:

Repurchase: Yes, course I legit have a basket full of their lotions.

 

Shea Moisture 100% Tamanu Oil & Organic Shea Butter Extra Dry Skin Body Lotion w/Aloe Vera this is a super thick lotion but very nice and gentle at the same time.  I wish I had saved this for winter but it is really thick and moisturizing.

Repurchase: Yes

 

Declutter

 

NYX

 

Prismatic Eyeshadow in Jaded It is a pretty color and a nice formula; I just don’t need a single of it I have similar colors in palettes and this needs to go to someone who will use it I just don’t reach for it.

 

Butter Gloss in Red Velvet I just am not into glosses and this sticky red gloss just I have no use for.  I am trying really hard to be honest about  how much I am not ever going to use glosses and really limiting it to only a few in my collection just in case.

 

Victoria Secret

 

Beauty Rush Minty Lip Shine remember this line of lip glosses that came in my a million flavors yea this is actually a nice gloss is was not sticky at all but it is like 10 years old it needs to go it doesn’t even have its mint smell any more.

 

Glossy Tint in Better than Bare this was the next generation of makeup from them and this has been used a million times I did really like it but it is time to go I have better in similar colors.

 

Too Faced

 

Mood Swing Gloss I actually loved this way back when. When Too Faced was just getting popular and was all about the kitchy out there packaging and being weird this wasn’t sticky had an awesome fruity scent but it is also like 10 years old and it is time to go.  L

 

Melted Metal Metallic Lipstick in Jelly Youtube made me buy this Rachhloves raves about the melted lipsticks and I saw the metallic on sale picked it up and hated it.  It doesn’t go on well it is streaky it doesn’t dry down and isn’t super metallic.

 

Tarte

 

The Sculptor contouring face slenderizer in park ave princess this is one of the versions that is too warm and orange on me.  Also the actually construction of this sucks its very loose in the tube and can break off and fall out.  There are much better contouring sticks.

 

Lip Surgence in Wonder these smell wonderful and minty and they have a ton of pigment almost too much pigment for the very creamy moisturizing formula. Wonder is just way to pink for me I do not like pink lips on me.

 

Ulta

 

Lipstick in Mauve Me it is just too pink and too creamy for me.

 

Matte Lip Crayon in Hazy Pink this formula is eh it is very very matte but in a dusty chalky way you really have to work to put it on and fill in any where it skipped. It is also way to pink for me.  Ulta changes what they make all the time so I don’t think either of these products exist anymore.

 

Nars Satin Lip Pencils in Majella and Luxembourg these are such pretty colors but they are so sticky and the slide all over they place they make such a mess on you face just from talking.

 

Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick this isn’t the matte one I find it to be greasy and not opaque enough for me so this will be getting passed on.

 

NYC Smooch Proof Lip Stain in 494 I loved this it is a legit stain it dries down and doesn’t come off it is a little bit of a weird felt tip applicator.  This is starting to dry out and be patchy and no one ever like this color on me so I think it is time to let it go.  I would pick it up in a different color if I ever saw it.

 

Urban Decay High-color Lipgloss in Scandal this is a hella opaque full color gloss not for me but I know someone else will love it.  And the little tube is so cute.

 

Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Kimchi this is just too hot pink for me.

 

Physicians Formula Custom Eye Enhancing Extreme Shimmer Eyeliner in Green this is so hard and dry and scratchy I am just throwing this out.  I have this in Purple and it is still a little scratchy from the glitter but nowhere near as bad as this one.

 

Almay Eyeshadow in 140 Vintage Grape I think this is from the softies line but I’m not sure. I was couponing and able to pick this up for a dollar.  Purples are hard so I wanted to try a drugstore option but the pigment just isn’t there for me You really have to build and build this to make it work and I have much nicer purples that I’d rather use.

 

Model Co Highlighting Trio in Champagne, Peach Bellini & Bronze I’ve used this enough to know this doesn’t work for me.  It is packed with shimmer and it is very editorial it gives a wet shiny look but then it all slides off my face after 10 minutes and leaves me looking greasy and like I don’t know how to wash my face.  This is so messy it is another one that is going straight into the trash.

 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance eye shadow brush this is the brush that came with the palette I absolute hate it.  I don’t know if I got a dud but it sheds like crazy even though I have washed it a few times and it isn’t good at packing on color or at blending.  Just no.

Well I really went through a ton this month. Makes up for last month. I found some things that may really work for me and a bunch of duds. I feel pretty good about all that I managed to clear out too that is big for me. I am a total makeup hoarder.
