How is it September like summer flew the hell by I’m not ready for fall at all! I am still really lagging behind my goals alot but I am really starting to see a slowing down of products in my life which is good. Also there is going to be some weird discrepancies in the total counts of my collection because there are some things I have chose to remove from the list with out actually removing from my collection and some behind the scenes decluttering with out actually having anything so say or report about them.

Skincare (5)

Repurchase: No

Dermedicine Retinol Detox Mask this was fine my skin felt nice after but I wouldn’t buy it.

Repurchase: No

Supergoop Defense Refresh Setting Mist SPF 50 this is my favorite sunscreen setting spray I love it. It doesn’t mess up my makeup it isn’t greasy or sticky it doesn’t break me out.

Repurchase: Yes

Random (2)

Oh K! Exfoliating Watermelon & Citrus Foot Peel this has been ok my feet are peeling but I wish it was stronger like a more aggressive peeling and softening effect.

Repurchase: yes

Dove Go Fresh Pomegranate Antiperspirant Spray this did not work that great and it ran out super fast.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (6)

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Toasted Pineapple Marshmallow this was not very long lasting at all.

Repurchase: No

Repurchase: No

Makeup (5)

Girlactik Precise Eyeliner Marker this was not the best it was really smudgey and not really long wearing.

Repurchase: No

Colourpop Crème Gel Liner in Swerve this was a very standard retractable eyeliner not as long wearing or pigmented as the colored ones.

Repurchase: No

Tarte Sex Kitten Liquid Eyeliner hate this it does not go smoothly over eyeshadow it isn’t as deep black as I like it also draws a really thick like which is neither negative or positive just something to note. It does wear pretty well but like I need better performance over eyeshadow.

Repurchase: No

It Cosmetics Superhero Mascara I hate this mascara it is too dry and does nothing for my lashes.

Repurchase: No

Tarte Maneater Mascara this was not my favorite it was really wet and heavy on my lashes and I had to really work with it to get it look pretty and I don’t want to work that hard I just want my lashes to look long and full and fluttery.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (2)

Shea Yeleen Rich Shea Body Cream in Coconut Melon this was really nice good lotion smelled nice didn’t melt in my car all good things.

Repurchase: No, I have so much lotion

FCS Goat Milk & Honey Cream in Bee Kind this was nice very thick but you can very much tell it was goat milk and honey so that could be a bit off putting for some people.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bodycare (3)

Tree Hut Scrub in Candied Lemon I liked this the lemon was great it’s a good scrub.

Repurchase: Yes

Repurchase: Yes

Perfume (2)

YSL Libre EDT I have zero memory of using this so it really didn’t leave much of an impression I guess.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (2)

Phyto Joba Moisturizing Shampoo hated this it was so thick and hard to get out of the bottle and made my hair feel stringy and stripped.

Repurchase: No

Pantene Sheer Volume Foam Conditioner this was alright. The foam was weird it felt like it wasn’t coating my hair but it actually was easier to coat my hair then regular conditioner so that was just a weird experience it was good though. Didn’t care for the scent at all though.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (3)

Tresluce Beauty Ready to Bounce Cream Blush in Date Night this was just not a good color for me.

FCS OCD Hand Sanitizer in Magic Mirror I don’t like the glitter hand sanitizers.

I think this is the least amount of skincare I have ever used in a month. Only two categories grew this month and overall the amount went down which is super fantastic.

Skincare (6)

C’est Moi Gentle Makeup Removing Wipes these were not good they were not super moist or that great at taking makeup off.

Repurchase: No

Beekman 1802 Milk Primer I hated this it was so so sticky and left such a terrible white cast. I just used it up as regular sunscreen as well as face sunscreen to use it up quicker. The pump mechanism also really sucked the tube didn’t go all the wat to the bottom so it would suck up air and then splurt out every where it was so messy and gross.

Repurchase: No

FCS & To All a Good Night Jelly Sleeping Mask this was fine I kinda just used it as a heavy gel moisturizer.

Repurchase: No

Exuviance Deep Clean Aha Cleanser this was fine. Nothing that special I just don’t care that much about expensive cleansers.

Lip (3)

Chapstick Pink Lemonade this is like my favorite flavor of chapstick I really love it.

Repurchase: No

FCS Hair Oil in The Greatest Thing I really love these hair oils they make my hair soft and smell good.

Repurchase: Yes

Declutter (6)

Nudestix Nudies All Over Face Bronzer Color in Bondi Bae this is too orange and too light.

Undone Beauty Water Bronzer in 230 Amber this was just weird and patchy and hard to use the color was fine but it was a pain in the ass to work with.

Pacifica Set & Protect Matte Sheer Setting Mist this was sticky and the sprayer was awful and no thank you.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face Mist SPF 55 I am allergic to this so I will have to pass this on to some one else which is a shame because it did feel fine nice and light on the skin.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Crush not into this color but I do like the formula.

Repurchase: No

Josie Maran Argan Beta-Retinoid Pink Algae Serum this was fine but one use is hard to tell if I like it or not.

Home Scents (2)

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Merry Mimosa this was nice enough I really only use these for my bathroom.

Lip (2)

Clinique Moistue Surge Lip Hydro Plump Treatment this wasn’t my favorite this is more a glossy balm then an actual lip balm or lip treatment.

Repurchase: No

H2O Beauty Lip Gel in Clear as Day they don’t make this anymore I liked it because it tasted good and it was blue but clear and it was just fun to use. I liked the gel feeling of this.

Repurchase: I can’t

Lotion (2)

Aveeno Body Daily Moisturizing Lotion this was a purchased based solely on needing and unscented good moisturizer for my tattoo. I would not have purchased this otherwise. I really don’t care for very generic lotions like this.

Repurchase: No

Burt’s Bees Hand Cream in Honey & Grapeseed this was very greasy and when I cut it open to be able to use it all up it was kinda chunky I didn’t love this. Smelled like honey though.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (3)

Tree Hut Shave Oil in Watermelon I love these shave oils they give the closest shave and leave my legs silky.

Repurchase: Yes

Repurchase: No

Edge 2 in 1 Shave Cream this sucked it was sticky but also wiped away really fast and I did not get a good shave with this.

Perfume (2)

Gucci Flora Perfume this was a lot nicer then I expected it to be. I would actually consider wearing this again.

Haircare (3)

Drybar Triple Sec this is a great texurizer and I love the scent.

Repurchase: Yes

Repurchase: No

FCS Leave-In Conditioner in FOX I love these spray leave ins from Fortune Cookie Soap company and I really loved the scent as well.

Repurchase: Yes
