What’s In My Trash? October 2018

Things marked with (*) I received free in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are 100% my own. I wouldn’t lie.

Well it has been a whole mess of things over here in my life. Just problem after problem with no chance to recover. I got a new phone so the poor picture quality shall be solving itself very soon. Once I figure out the new camera settings but there is already an improvement in the quality.

Skincare (7)

The Body Shop Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask this is one of those chunky clay masks that is really hard to remove and I am not a fan of those at all. I also don’t feel like this did anything for me.

Repurchase: No

 an eye cream.

Repurchase: No

Pacifica Coconut Essence Hydro Mist this has coconut and caffeine in it. It smelled like  a coconut dessert rather than like that sunscreen type coconut smell like I prefer but it still smelled nice. I didn’t find this to do a whole lot it was a bit moisturizing but certainly not the greatest mist I have ever used so I wouldn’t repurchase.

Repurchase: No

 Whamisa by Glow Recipe Green Tea Serum Toner this did nothing.

Repurchase: No

Purlisse Blue Lotus and White Tea Sheet Mask I have so many of these and have used so many of these I got like 25 of them at Gen Beauty two years ago and a few randomly since then. It is ok it is hydrating but kinda sticky I don’t love it its just ok.

Repurchase: No

Freeman Hydrating Cactus and Cloudberry Water Gel Mask this is like a sleeping mask but to me it felt more like a gel moisturizer I got like 5 uses out of just this little packet. I really liked this as a moisturizer and will probably be buying a full size to use that way when I’ve used up a little more of my collection. This was not to sticky sunk in really well and my skin felt cooled and hydrated like I had been drinking tons of water and sleeping well so lol perfect moisturizer.

Repurchase: Yes

Tarte Pack Your Bags 911Undereye Rescue Patches I used these when my under eyes definitely needed some emergency help. These worked fairly well and hydrated my under eyes and helped the situation out a lot but not totally fixed it.

Repurchase: Maybe

Random (7)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company OCD Hand Sanitizer in The Droids You are Looking For I didn’t like the scent of this one but it was a super pretty gold sparkely C3PO color. I am not particularly tied to any special hand sanitizer though I’ll use whatever floatsinto my life.

Repurchase: No

Forever 21 Cotton Pads I liked these they really did  a pretty damn good job for super cheap. I have like two more packs of them as well. The only thing that would keep me from repurchasing is that Forever 21 isn’t super convenient for me to go to just to buy some cotton pads.

Repurchase: Maybe

Parissa Brow Shaper Mini Wax Strips these are awful they barely adhere to your hair and are so mini that you have to like use so many to just do one eye brow. I have another box because these were like buy one get one I think so I will suffer through one more box.

Repurchase: No

Degree Motionsense Fresh Energy Deodorant I really like this line of deodorants they work super well and the only thing is I feel like I use them fast and they are not the cheapest. Idk kinda weird. Fresh Energy is my preferred scent.

Repurchase: Yes

Fortune Cookie Soap Company OCD Hand Sanitizer in Walk the Plank I liked the scent on this more than the other one I used up. This is rare thing to use up two hand sanitizers in a month.  I can barely use up one in like 6months.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Shower Steamer in T-Birds this had a sweet scent and their steamers are the only shower steamers that ever have worked in the shower for me and are good for like 2 uses. I just don’t find these to have much purpose so I won’t buy them.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Shaving Cream in Cyro Can I didn’t really like this as much after I started using it. It didn’t hang together well so it didn’t spread and stay on my legs well. This didn’t give me that great of a shave and I went through it very fast.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (8)

Bath and Body Works Bourbon Sea Salt Caramel Candle I loved this it had a great sweet warm scent and a great throw.

Repurchase: Yes

Febreze Air Effects in Linen& Sky I like Febreze sprays a lot they make everything smell really fresh and clean and I love them for like carpets and pillows and things that are hard or impossible to wash.

Repurchase: Yes

Swan Creek Candle Co. Herbal Melts in Cinnamon Hazelnut Latte this smelled just as described I really like these melts from this company. I have been stocking up on them as prizes at an arcade I go to (yes I know that is very odd) and am afraid they won’t get more in because these can only be bought wholesale.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Cherry Snow Cone Candle this smelled really nice is the jar but the scent throw wasn’t great and faded over time. So the first few times I burned it I did get the cherry scent but about half way through it really stopped having much of ascent.

Repurchase: No

Glade Atmosphere Collection Patchouli Amber (*) the scent of this was ok but not my personal scent preference I don’t like those more heavy musky scents. I liked the continuous spray feature because it didn’t do that spitty thing a lot of room sprays do where it feels like you are actually wetting down your room. It also lasted forever.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bath and Body Works Hot Cocoa& Cream Candle I love this scent but there are a few different varieties of this scent that have different scent compositions and they are not all the same or as good. This one is one of the less good ones. The ones that have the Nutmeg essential oil in them I do not like as much as the ones that don’t have the essential oil.

Repurchase: Not this one, but others of this scent confusing I know

Bath and Body Works Banana Split Milkshake this smelled so yummy you could smell the banana and the vanilla and the chocolate.

Repurchase: Yes

Cobblestone Candle Orange Popsicle Candle this had no scent throw what so ever this was totally pointless. I found this at Kirkland and just this is terrible don’t buy this it isn’t cute and doesn’t smell good so like no point.

Repurchase: No

Lip (3)

Ilia Lipstick Femme Fatal this was more of a tinted balm then a lipstick and really sheer not what I am looking for in a lipstick. None of the Ilia lip samples I tried worked out for me.

Repurchase: No

H2O+ Beauty Oasis Lip Gel in Clear as Day this is like a regular lip balm but its like a clear blue. It was fun to use and I liked how it felt on my lips very balmy and slick which I like and had no color but it is super pricey for a lip balm that isn’t also a treatment so I don’t know that I will repurchase. I have another because they were on a buy one get one sale.

Repurchase: Maybe

Chapstick Medicated Lip Balm I peeled off the label because it was like falling off and now I can’t remember exactly what this was called it is a medicated balm from then it is very Carmex like but not as thick I really liked it I would pick it up again. It had alight blue label if that helps at all. Not all Chapsticks are equally good.

Repurchase: Maybe

Declutter (4)

Morphe Crease Fluff Brush from the Eye Slay set this brush sucked from the beginning and now it is just shedding and falling apart and it is scratchy and not good at picking up or applying shadow it just all around was awful. None of the brushes from that set were really that good.

Origins Ginzing Refreshing Eye Cream I think there are actually two different eye creams in this line I might be wrong. I am actually using one up right now and I don’t really like it so I am decluttering the new one. This is not hydrating is doesn’t depuff it does brighten but only because this is tinted and shimmery so it looks like you put a shimmer over your puffy dark circles which is not a good look at all.

Absolute NY Nano Liner this proved really hard to use it was not like firm enough to get a nice application it was all flimsy and not super pigmented.

Deproce Cleanbello Collagen Essential Moisture Cream I could not stand the smell on this to even try to use it more then twice. It has a really strong baby powder smell that lingers. I hate the smell of baby powder I know most people like it but I can’t stand it, it gives me such a headache.

Makeup (2)

Medusa’s Makeup Setting Spray this is a pretty decent setting spray. It also weirdly to me smells like cinnamon but I think that is just me. It doesn’t burn or feel sticky which is nice but I wouldn’t actively seek it out because you have to buy it on their website.

Repurchase: No

Make Up For Ever Step 1Smoothing Primer this is definitely a smoothing primer and does a little blurring and pore filling. It was just ok I wasn’t wowed but I liked it.

Repurchase: Probably not, I have so much primer

Lotion (4)

Bath and Body Works Hand& Body Cream in Sea Salt I liked this alright it smelled sea salt like which was the goal. This is an ok hand cream but it is a little slick on the skin which I don’t prefer most of the time and it is pricey for these little tubes so I’d only buy it if it was on sale.

Repurchase: Maybe

 Nivea Aloe Vera Body Lotion thiswas very sticky and smelled very aloey which I didn’t like. I got this in the fall Walmart box that just got sent out.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Whipped Cream I Mermaid Lagoon I love these they are my favorite for my hands and arms. They are creamy and soft and smell awesome. This was a lovely fruity scent from a Peter Pan themed collection awhile ago.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Pretty as a Peach Lotion this is the older formula I like the older formula better. I think they may have or be reformulating again so I would try that but currently would not repurchase because I don’t like the newer super smooth shea formula or whatever it is called. I like the scent of pretty as a peach it is a real sweet nice fruity peach scent without that weird dirty tinge that fake peach scents have sometimes.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bodycare (4)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Shimmer Body Wash in Time to Shine this was no shimmery but had a nice champagne fruit scent I liked it I almost always like their body washes.

Repurchase: Yes

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Solid Bubble Bath in BFFs this is like the lush solid bubble bars I guess but this didn’t provide any bubbles it just changed the water to a really pretty purple.

Repurchase: No

Lush Bubble Bar I think this was the tulip one but I lost the tag. These make really fluffy long lasting bubbles but the ones on the stick are not as good as the ones that don’t havethe stick the actually bars are creamier which I think is why.

Repurchase: No

Whish Body Oil in Coconut I really liked this oil it did its job it smelled nice and it lasted a long time.The packaging really sucks though. The paint on the glass bottle was dissolving and flaking off with the oil getting on it.

Repurchase: Maybe

Perfume (1)

Bath and Body Works Winter Candy Apple Fine Fragrance Mist I don’t love the winter candy apple scent it smells very middle school to me but I believe I got this free and my gf liked it on me so I would use it when I was at her house and now it is all used up. I didn’t like how the tube didn’t meet the bottom fully it like is off at an angle so there was a little bit at the bottom that was so hard to try to get sprayed out.

Repurchase: No

<3 Nightmare Before Makeup

What’s In My Trash? September 2018

Still trying to catch up on everything in life over here. I am so behind. More then usual after coming back from a trip. I used up alot of stuff while I was on vacation in Disney so there are some separate pictures of that because I am not insane enough to bring trash home with me. I try to pack toiletries I know will get used up so I usually do a pretty good job of using stuff up. I think I used up around 30 or so items.

Skincare(23)

Fresh Vitamin Nectar Vibrancy Boosting Face Mask. Did not like. This had a weird consistency I felt like I was rubbing marmalade on my face. I also feel like it made my skin look really congested.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Sea Mineral All Over Mist this smelled  nice and like oceany I like ocean scents so this was nice and refreshing. I don’t think it had any real benefits other than feeling and smelling nice.

Repurchase: Maybe

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Deep Dive Makeup Removing Gel Cleanser the packaging on this was so awful it is a gel cleanser so it doesn’t just pour out but the bottle is a hard plastic that you can’t squeeze so that was super frustrating. This was an ok cleanser it had the same lovely smell as the spray but between the two I would choose the spray.

Repurchase: No

Belif True Cream Moisturizing Bomb I didn’t like this it felt like it just took way to long to sink into my skin.

Repurchase: No

Clinique Fresh Pressed Renewing Powder Cleanser this was really nice especially for travel I really liked the easy of a single use packet. I liked this so much more than the Tatcha one I also tried on my trip.

Repurchase: Maybe

Ole Hendriksen Truth Serum this was fine I guess I couldn’t tell with just one use. I like the Truth line a lot though so I would be open to trying again.

Repurchase: No

The Body Shop Japanese Matcha Tea Mask I really liked this mask it was a great travel mask that made my skin feel cleaner and less just yuck from traveling but also just made my skin feel nice. Kinda a do it all mask.

Repurchase: Yes

Pond’s Wipes I don’t really love these the cold cream in them makes them very sticky and leave residue on my skin that I need to wash off and the sting my eyes a bit not a huge fan.

Repurchase: No

Cocobetty Coconut Oil Wipe I didn’t like this it was really just a coconut oil wipe. So greasy.

Repurchase: No

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleansing Cloths I liked these they were gentle didn’t sting and removed light makeup well enough.

Repurchase: Maybe

Tatcha Polished Classic Rice Enzyme Powder Cleanser I really liked having a powder cleanser for traveling but this one not so much it was kinda awkwardly gritty. It wasn’t gritty enough to be an exfoliator but too gritty to feel great on the skin. It did a fine job of cleaning my skin but I didn’t love it.

Repurchase: No

Clinique Take The Day Off Balm I love this. It is my favorite way to take off eye makeup.  This is as close to a Mulan makeup removing moment it is physically possible to have. It is quick easy takes everything off and doesn’t

Repurchase: Yes

The Body Shop Ethiopian Honey Mask this was ok I have had cheaper honey masks that I liked a lot better this didn’t do anything really other than feel nice.

Repurchase: No

Clinique Rinse-off Eye Makeup Solvent (yes I do really like Clinique skincare how could you tell). This does almost as good of a job as the balm for eye makeup removal and does not sting my eyes. I like this a lot for cleaning up wings taking off makeup just what ever.

Repurchase: Maybe, I like the Sephora one more that I would be more inclined to buy that

Urban Decay Meltdown Makeup Remover this is a decent first oil cleanse for makeup  removal I liked it I didn’t love it. It worked but felt like I needed a lot of product.

Repurchase: Maybe, if I could get this size because good for travel

Clarins Extra Firming-Jour I kinda used this as my face sunscreen and a primer when I ran out of mine. It didn’t break me out but it is heavy for a day cream at least for me and a touch sticky which is why it worked ok as a primer.

Repurchase: No

First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Face Cleanser very basic type cleanser feels and smells like soap.

Repurchase: No

Clinique Fresh Pressed Daily Booster (2) this is kinda like a single use vitamin c serum I guess it would be good for traveling but I found it kinda messy and wasteful and not that great.

Repurchase: No

Glamglow Supercleanse Clearing Cream-to-foam Cleanser this was a really good cleanser I really liked it. It goes own like mud but does really clean my face without stripping it.  This had a really herbally earthy scent which I liked but it was very strong fyi.

Repurchase: Maybe

Air Repair Complexion Quenching Facial Mist this had a strong smell and felt nice but also a little sticky.

Repurchase: No

Ofra Volcanic Clarifying Mask so this is one of those really hard to squeeze packages and I bet if I cut it open I could probably get one more use out of it but I am not going to bother. This does make my skin feel nice but this is one of those masks that dries does really hard and tight on your face and is so hard to get off.  Which is not something I am into at all. Repurchase: No

Random (8)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company OCD Hand Sanitizer in The Captain I love these hand sanitizers they don’t dry my hands out and they smell so good and not too much of that alcohol smell I have so many of them though and don’t use hand sanitizer a whole ton.

Repurchase: Maybe

Secret Outlast Deodorant this I really liked I felt like it worked really well I don’t think I have ever tried this before because it is more expensive than most other deodorants but I really liked it especially in the Florida heat.

Aquaphor Healing Ointment this is just a good multipurpose balm for like skin irritations, cracked skin or lips just any everything sorta staple I like to have around. A little goes along way.

Repurchase: Yes

Supergoop Everyday Sunscreen I hated this so thick and white and sticky and hard to rub in and doesn’t even smell like sunscreen this was just the worst.

Repurchase: No

Tommy Bahamas Shampoo this I got in the hotel and I used I to shave with it was fine that is usually what I do with hotel shampoos so that I don’t have to bring shaving cream.

Repurchase: No

Degree Deodorant this was fine I get what ever the cheapest mini deodorants are available for trips and just stock up and rotate.

Repurchase: Yes

Esfolio Foot & Heel Peeling Mask this took awhile to start peeling and then wasn’t the really good kinda peel everything came off in little chunks and it needed a little help from a pumice stone so not the greatest not terrible but not the greatest.

Repurchase: Maybe

Cowshed Sleepy Cow Relaxing Pillow Mist I really really really liked the way this smelled I wish it had been a bigger bottle. It had lemon and valerian in it and was super relaxing. I loved that it didn’t have lavender in it because sometimes that gives me a headache and you don’t often get sleep type things that don’t have lavender in them. Repurchase: Maybe, it is pricey

Home Scents (4)

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in At the Beach love this scent and this wallflower so much makes my room smell so nice and beachy and I just love it.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Cotton Candy Marshmallow Candle this smelled so sweet and yummy. It also burned forever which is why there is an Easter candle being finally finished up in September.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bath and Body Works Relax Candle I didn’t like this at first this was a pick from my girlfriend but it grew on me and I did find it pretty relaxing. I find that the Aromatherapy line of candles always have a really good scent throw.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Italy (Cannoli & Chocolate) Candle I loved this so so much I hope they bring it back. I love sweet candles and I love chocolate scents so I loved this.

Repurchase: Yes, if I can

Declutter (6)

Glamglow Gravitymud Firming Treatment Mask Sonic Edition this was absolutely awful I can’t even use it again. It burned my face and the pina colada smell is so sickeningly strong that I wanted to throw up. Made my face red and it made me feel sick it was awful.

Covergirl Melting Pout in 145 Gel-Bird I hate the sticky texture of this.

Cowshed Lippy Cow Lip Balm this was so waxy I felt like it was drying my lips out more.

3 in 1 Revolution Light Moisturizer this has roses in it which thankfully I noticed but I can’t use that since I am allergic.

Tarte Park Ave Princess Bronzer I am giving up on this bronzer it just does not work for me it is too shimmery and takes too long to build it up on my skin that by the time you can see it I am like a shimmery mess. Fenty Pro Filt’r Primer this sample looks like maybe its separated and gone bad so it’s got to go.

Makeup (13)

Makeup Revolution Pro Fix Illuminating Fix Spray I loved the packaging and the spray was pretty decent but overall this was just ok. It was more dewy looking then say the Urban Decay All Nighter but it didn’t really make my makeup last longer. It also got its dewiness from a gold glitter which is certainly a cheap way to do it that I am not a fan of. It didn’t leave glitter on my face or anything like that not like the Cover FX one but this just was ok.

Repurchase: No

Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray one of the best setting sprays does help lock in my makeup and it isn’t sticky and it sprays nice.

Repurchase: Yes

Nyx #LOTD Lip of the Day this is a liquid lip liner I don’t know all about that but I used it as a gold eyeliner is was ok but it wasn’t that smooth or that gold.

Repurchase: No

N.Y.C. Color Wheel Mosaic Face Powder in 722C Translucent Highlighter Glow well this was not a highlighter this is so so old like I had it since high school before highlighter was a thing. This was mostly just a setting powder I used it a lot but mostly because it was convenient and I liked that it had a tint and wasn’t totally translucent. I don’t think this is even made anymore I don’t know.

Repurchase: No

Wander Beauty Glowtion this is one of those tinted illuminating wear under foundation or alone type of lotions. I don’t like this nearly as much as the Glamglow one this kinda made me look glittery and blotchy.

Repurchase: No

Supergoop Defense Refresh Setting Mist this was ok I liked that I can apply it over makeup and get sun protection since I hate sunscreen. I don’t think it helped my makeup hang on though even with reapplying it.

Repurchase: Maybe

Murad Invisiblur Perfecting Shield I have a weird relationship with this product. It blurs and makes my skin really smooth it is a sunscreen that doesn’t make me break out so all yays. The cons though are that it is so hard to apply it pills really easily so you have to be really careful to use just a tiny bit and really press it in and let it set so it doesn’t pill.

Repurchase: Probably not

Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara this is a special occasion mascara it makes my lashes very big and dramatic but it is heavy it does flake a little and is super hard to remove.

Repurchase: No

Clinique High Impact Mascara and Primer this was a do nothing mascara it had no impact lol this is natural mascara defined here.

Repurchase: No

It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Pressed I don’t like this is very chalky and I don’t feel like it sets my face well or fills in my pores.

Repurchase: No

Nars Radiance Primer this was a pass for me it was very glimmer and pink and just not for me.

Repurchase: No

Urban Decay Primer Potion Original this is a tried and true I like it works like a charm.

Repurchase: Yes, but a different shade.

Coola Mineral BB Cream this had barely any color. Repurchase: No

Lotion (3)

Bath and Body Works It’s the Balm Body Butter (Marshmallow Magic) I loved this and the scent so so so much it was the perfect light and sweet but not too sweet or overpowering marshmallow scent it lasted me forever as well.

Repurchase: Yes

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Star Command Whipped Cream this one was super fun it was a spilt between purple and green (you know Buzz Lightyear) and had a nice fruity scent. I use up at least one of these a month.

Repurchase: Yes

Hempz Sugarcane & Papaya Herbal Body Moisturizer I really loved this it smelled great it felt great I will totally be trying more from Hempz now.

Repurchase: Yes

Bodycare (7)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Crackling Bath Crystals in Fire Soul smelled nice and was super pretty. Didn’t fizz and crackle as much as I would have wanted but they were fun.  Helped with achy muscles a little but not as much as I want from a bath soak. It was good but not remarkable.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Get Happy Shower Gel (White Peach Sangria) this smelled nice and worked fine but wasn’t so impressive that I need it again.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Glass Slipped Exfoliating Foot Stick the first time I used it, this was pretty good but over time the scrubbies got less scrubby and it didn’t work as well I still got use out of it but it isn’t as good or as convenient as a foot file or pumice stone.

Repurchase: No

Random bath bomb I think it is another FCS one maybe from the mean girls collection but totally not sure. This is one of those tiny bath bombs that not quite enough for the tub so I mixed it with some bath salts and that worked out good. The only problem was this was decorated with like sprinkles that did not dissolve in the bath and left my tub really gross. I hate that.

Repurchase: No

Basin Bath Salts in assorted scents this is one of those things I bought even though I knew I probably wouldn’t like it sometimes Disney just clouds your judgement and you buy stupid things like this because pretty packaging. Basin is a Lush type of company you can find online and at two locations in Disney World. These barely did anything and didn’t leave my skin particularly soft or ease my muscles so totally pointless.

Repurchase: No

Tree Hut Moisturizing Shave Oil in I think its citrus they don’t really name the scents it is weird. This was ok it didn’t work as good as the other scent oddly enough. This is fine but I think I might go back to baby oil for shaving.

Repurchase: Maybe

Eos Shave Cream in Tropical Fruit the only one I liked was the vanilla I feel like I got a shitty shave with the other two scents I have tried. I don’t know that might just be in my head.

Repurchase: No

Spongelle Coconut Verbena Body Wash Infused Buffer this was awesome.  These are pretty pricey but for travel it was so nice. I loved having the sponge and body wash all together and I could just use it and throw it out when I was done. This did a really good job of lathering and felt great and smelled good.

Repurchase: Yes

Perfume (3)

Aerin Mediterranean Honeysuckle this was too old lady smelling for my tastes.

Repurchase: No

Giorgio Armani Si Passione this was ok nothing really of note I barely remember it.

Repurchase: No

Juicy Couture Oui this I LOVED. I love this one they came out with for this year.

Repurchase: Yes

Haircare (3)

Marc Anthony Hydrating Coconut Oil this was not your normal light oil that like makes my hair al smooth and shiny and healthy looking this was very heavy and did not absorb well. I hate the feel of this. The mask of this is my favorite but this no.

Repurchase: No

Eva NYC Forget Me Knot Dry Conditioner this smelled weird and didn’t really revive my hair the way I wanted. It was just ok.

Repurchase: No

Wen Pomegranate Cleansing Conditioner I have been using Wen forever. I have been testing out others and still having found anything that beats it for the same price or less but I am working on it. Repurchase: Maybe

<3 Nightmare Before Makeup

What’s In My Trash? August 2018

Well its been awhile been a hell of a month lots has happened. Some really awful things some really great things. This will probably still be funky for a bit because I am going away during the time that all my boxes usually come so everything will probably be pretty late this month but empties are usually a more fun post when I am away because I use up alot of stuff so that will be something to look forward to. 


Skincare (12)

Ulta Beauty Cranberry Crumble Detoxifying Peel-Off Mask I really liked this it made my skin feel so soft and my pores looked and felt smoother smaller and cleaner.  Two thumbs way up for this one.

Repurchase: Yes

No7 Early Defence Glow Activating Serum (I know that isn’t how you spell defense but that is how the package has it written) this was quite nice it felt really nice and silky and light on my face I don’t know how glowy it made me with just a few uses but it looked and felt nice.

Repurchase: Maybe

Primark Men’s Facial Wipes I have written about these a few times I like them for my face for swatches for everything they are cheap soft and work pretty well.

Repurchase: Yes

Urban Decay Meltdown Makeup Remover I loved that it is a spray it was so easy to use it did not remove eye makeup at all but it did well for face makeup. I would consider a full size but I have cheaper ones that work just as well but I like this little mini for travel.

Repurchase: Maybe

Ole Henriksen Truth Facial Water I really loved this it felt nice on my skin it smelled good and it made my skin look more awake. I don’t know so much bout hydrating a ton but it felt nice.

Repurchase: Yes

Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment one of my favorite spot treatments one of the only ones that actually works.

Repurchase: Yes

Belief Creamy Cleansing Foam Moist Cleanser I didn’t like this is was really sticky and thick and didn’t rinse off well so my skin felt sticky and gross after and make me break out in spots I didn’t rinse it off 15 times.  This is supposed to be for dry skin but with how sticky it is I don’t think it would emulsify well enough and would be irritating.

Repurchase: No

TonyMoly Master Lab Hyaluronic you can read how I felt about it HERE. I got it in my bag and used it right away I would use it again but wouldn’t purchase it on my own.

Repurchase: No

Sephora Ginseng Sleeping Mask this is supposed to be toning and depuffing but it did nothing this is not nearly as good as the other sleeping masks from Sephora I have tried.

Repurchase: No

First Aid Beauty Milk Oil Conditioning Cleanser this is something I am glad I forced myself to use up even though I hated it. I spent a ton of money on it and it wasn’t that great so lesson learned and I didn’t let myself just hoard it because I didn’t like it. First the packaging kinda sucks it splatters a lot when you pump it. It made my eyes feel like coated if it got in them which I hated. It also isn’t great at removing makeup so it pretty much fails in all arenas. I liked it at first because it was better than the micellar type waters I had been using but in comparison to balms and the Sephora cleanser I love it doesn’t hold a candle.

Repurchase: Not even if it was free

(2) Too Cool For School Egg Cream Sheet Mask Hydration this made my skin feel super soft and hydrated. The mask stays on very well considering it is a very thick saturated mask. My skin also looked very glowy after I used it.

Repurchase: Yes

Random (6)

Random bath pouf there is not a lot to say here.

Repurchase: Yes will it be this exact one who knows

Secret Invisible Solid Berry Fresh Deodorant I like solid deodorants I feel like they work better the scents are meh and the secret ones I find are a little chunkier then the Degree ones but they are a lot cheaper.

Repurchase: Yes

Pacifica Indian Coconut Nectar Lotion Wipes this was such a cool idea I though lotion wipes would be so convenient for throwing in a bag or taking to go but they weren’t that great they were almost more like hydrating wet wipes I didn’t feel moisturized after just wiped down for lack of a better way to describe it.

Repurchase: No

Degree Motion Sense Deodorant this one is in Pure Clean I like the one with the yellow on it better can’t remember the name of that scent right now. But I like the degree deodorants just fine I go between them and Secret depending on sales.

Repurchase: Yes

Holika Holika Baby Silk Foot Mask Sheet this is one of those mask that you put on your feet you sit in those booties and then over the next few days your dry gross skin is supposed to peel off.  There was no peeling I was pretty disappointed.

Repurchase: No

Simple Pleasures Pineapple Scented Shower Fizzies these were awful. I got them at Five Below but they did not work at all they barely fizzed you couldn’t smell them they were completely useless.

Repurchase: No

Bliss ‘Fuzz’ Off Foam this is one of those hair removal gel type products but it really didn’t work for me.  This small can was barely enough to do my legs and as usual for me it didn’t really remove my hair at all. It did make my hair somehow shave off better which was cool I guess.

Repurchase: No 

Home Scents (6)

Columbia Candle Supply Fresh Cut Grass Wax Melt this smells exactly like grass but in a good summery way it was so fun to use and even this small package was good for quite a few melting sessions.

Repurchase: Yes

Columbia Candle Supply Brown Sugar Cake Wax Melt this didn’t last as long as the other wax melts. Smelled nice but the smell burnt off very quick.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works ScentPortable in Suntan I loved the way this smelled made my whole car smell so summery.

Repurchase: Yes

Columbia Candle Supply Marshmallow Fluff Wax melt so far this has been my favorite scent so far it has a good scent throw the only thing I felt like this didn’t burn for quite as long as the other ones which sucks because I love the scent and wanted it to last longer.

Repurchase: Yes

Columbia Candle Supply Juicy Wax Melt this melted well but something about the notes in this one gave me a headache so I didn’t like this one as much as the grass one.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works White Cherry and Thyme Foaming Hand Soap I loved this so so so much I am so sad this is gone I loved the scent. I love thyme and cherries so this was so fresh and bright and  clean smelling.

Repurchase: Yes, if it ever comes back

Lip (3)

Wet n Wild Gel Lip Balm in Kiss this is a clear balm but I really didn’t like this at all. It was super greasy feeling and not moisturizing.  I also don’t like how big it was.

Repurchase: No

Medusa’s Makeup Rage Against the Bean this was a really good lip balm it was vanilla flavored and I loved the name.  This is one of the more favorite lip balms I have tried in a while.

Repurchase: Yes

Cruzan Rum Lip Balm this was fun it smelled a little rum like but mostly it was your standard free lip balm type balm I got this at some festival or other but I liked it and used it.

Repurchase: No, because it would be impossible lol

Declutter (7)

Flower Beauty Endless Wear Eye Color in Sheer Buff this was really dry and didn’t blend or look good on my eyes at all.

Makeup Revolution Love the Revolution eye and face palette this is really pretty would be perfect for the minimalist for traveling but if I am being really with myself I will never use this. This has a separate picture because I already gave it away to a friend.

Too Faced Liquif-Eye this is old as hell I mean like more 12 or more years old which is frightening to think about on multiple levels. This is very old school Too Faced when they were very super tongue in cheek and outrageous and crazy packaging and products then used to have rather than the overly cute main stream type things they do now. This came with a book of eyeshadow which I kept more for sentiment then for use and it could turn the eyeshadow in to liquid eyeliner. It never worked that fantastic on first swipe it did but it would get super watery and not show up that well on the eyes.  Cool concept but not well excuted things have changed in the decade since lol.  

Doucce Luscious Lip Stain in 615 Passion Peach the formula was really light and comfortable but this is way too bright orangey coral for me I didn’t like how it looked on.

L.O.C.K. Color L.O.C.K. it Velvet Lip in 5 Nude Coral the name of the color describes it perfectly it is a nude coral again not a color for me so letting this go for someone else to enjoy since it is unused.

Random not branded Makeup Brush Cleaner this is one of those dry sponge color switch type things but it really wasn’t super effective and it just wasn’t functional for me it was just another step. I have plenty of brushes so I just don’t need this.

Jouer High Pigment Lip Gloss in Bond this is such a pretty color and I love the packaging but it is way too sticky for a gloss hater like me.  It is pigmented for a gloss and pretty but I wouldn’t ever be able to get over the stickiness of this.

Makeup (3)

Wander Beauty Unlashed Mascara this got really gunky and goopy fast. The tube and the stopper isn’t great at keeping the brush fluffy or neat. I also felt like I had to work really hard to get a nice look. It is volumizing and curling but it takes to much work and fussing to get there.

Repurchase: No

Covergirl Total Tease Mascara this sucked it had a weird shaped brush that was hard to used and it didn’t make my lashes look good. I had two really bad mascaras after two really good ones so that sucked but they are out of my collection now. This one also dried up really fast.

Repurchase: No

Smashbox Insta-matte this is a lip transformer it makes you lipstick matte. It does really work and it was a really fun product to play with but not really a functional one. It super like gets all weird and pilled on your lips as you glide it over and it pulls most of the color away as it mattifys it works but not well enough. If does feel comfortable on the lips but it is so messy and stains your fingers as you are rubbing it over and it doesn’t work well with a brush. So super fun but not practical.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (1)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Whipped Cream in Intervention this had a weirdly different texture then some of the other whipped cream lotions from them.  It was almost a matte feeling lotion I liked it.

Repurchase: Yes

Bodycare (1)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Foaming Sugar Scrub in So Vintage this smelled like a mix of banana bread and candy I liked this a lot it had a good amount of scrub mixed with a good amount of soft soapiness if that makes any sense very much enjoyed this one.

Repurchase: Yes

Perfume (4)

Tory Burch Bel Azur perfume this was nice and bright and fruity I really love Tory Burch Perfumes but they are so pricey.

Repurchase: Maybe

Prada Candy Sugar Pop thought I would like this because it has a lot of sweet notes but it is also very floral and I don’t like it at all.

Repurchase: No

Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume this was meh too floral and muted.

Repurchase: No

Pinrose Cuddle Punk this was a very intense sweet apricot smell I used a more earthy perfume to tone it down a lot of days which worked ok. I didn’t hate the scent but it did get overwhelming sometimes. Totally not important but I loved the feel of the label it was like a soft touch matte texture that I really enjoyed.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (5)

Moroccan Oil Moroccan Oil Treatment this is one of my favorite hair oils it’s really thick but absorbs into my hair super well leaving it shiny and soft but not greasy.

Repurchase: Yes

Verb Cleanse Volume Shampoo there was not even enough in this packet for my long hair and made my hair feel like straw.

Repurchase: No

Dry Bar Double Standard Cleansing + Conditioning Foam this was ok but it made my hair feel very fluffy and thin like volumized but not the normal thick lustrous feel my hair normally has. So not bad not great either.

Repurchase: Maybe

Verb Lift + Soften Volume Conditioner this felt like generic hotel conditioner. I am super super picky so nothing really impresses me.

Repurchase: No

Garnier Fructis Damage Repair Treat +Papaya Extract. Another product I just got and used already I liked it made my hair feel soft and smooth and smell nice but nothing life changing if you need a cheap mask I would go for it.

Repurchase: Maybe
