Repurchase: No

Home Scents (5)

Ashland Sunlit Mandarin Candle this was the never-ending candle it burned so long. The scent dissipated really fast like after the first burn but if you are just looking for the glow this is a great deal I got so many long burns out of this and they are always on sale at Micheal’s for like $2.

Repurchase: Maybe in a different scent

Repurchase: Unfortunately No

Makeup (5)

Tarte Maracuja Miracle Mist this was a really good setting spray it did make my make up last longer not as long as a some more high intensity spray but it also made my skin look nice.

Repurchase: Yes

Jeffree Star Mini Liquid Lip in Abused I used this a bunch but it is dried out not I love the grey blue color.

Repurchase: Yes

Jeffree Star Mini Liquid Lip in Titanic this is super long lasting and comfortable for a metallic but I don’t wear a color like this enough to justify replacing it.

Repurchase: No

It Cosmetics Lash Blowout Mascara this was a really nice mascara I liked it made my lashes really long and fanned out.

Repurchase: Yes

Nyx Soft Matte Metallic Lip Cream in California I don’t like this color anymore in metallic then in matte.

Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Train Bleu I don’t really enjoy the deep purple lipsticks to much anymore and since this does not dry down it gets on everything and is not worth it to me.

Well this was a huge declutter month for me. Kinda hoping to bring that same energy to September let’s see how that goes for me. When I am in the declutter mood I have to just go with it and it feels good to like free up space and just move some stuff out some times.

Declutter (14)

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk this is literally the color of my lips there is not point for me.

Giorgio Armani Lip Power Matte in 111 this is also the color of my lips and it doesn’t really dry down enough to be worth it.

Armani Beauty Lip Maestro Liquid Lipstick in 501 Casual Pink this was messy.

Marc Jacob Le Marc Liquid Lip Crayon Mini in Plum N Get It too messy and dark.

Colourpop x Tinkerbell Glossy Lip Stain in Tinkerbell I don’t love the formula of this and I really don’t love this pinky color so I am just going to display this. I have the other shade and I don’t hate it so ill try to use that one.

Wet n Wild Glitter Mascara I think this is so cool and I love the idea of glitter lashes but I’m really paranoid about getting glitter in my eyes and I’m just to scared to use this.

Suva Beauty Eyeshadow in Turmeric I don’t use this color and to keep a whole single to maybe use this shade once every 5 years is crazy.

The Beauty Crop Eyeshadow in Seren this is not a shade I use often and I have similar things so keeping a single is just not the move for me.

Hola Neon Velvet Liquid Lipstick in The Easy Sell this is a pretty color and once it dries it really stays but it bleeds so much while its drying and it’s hard to keep it looking nice and it does that  flaking thing a lot of liquid lipsticks can do.

YSL Make Me Blush Liquid Blush in Nude

YSL Make Me Blush Liquid Blush in Fushcia

YSL Make Me Blush Liquid Blush in Lavender

I didn’t love the formula on the 2 I tried so just letting these go it was hard to blend and then wore away so quickly.

Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in Amazonian this shade just doesn’t look good on my the orange reads as like ill on my skin.

GlamGlow Good in Bed Passionfruit Softening Night Cream I just didn’t like this it was really sticky.
