This is just going to be a very low energy low enthusiasm post. We had to put my sweet old German Shepard down. She’s been with me most of my adult life and I am just very sad.

One of my favorite pictures from when she was a pup. My Baby.

Heartbroken.

The bag is cute but not my vibe.

Ouai Scalp & Body Scrub

Full Size: 250 g

Full Size Cost: $38

Sample Size: 30 g

Value: $4.56

Typically I am not a fan of Ouai products I just find them too heavy and the scent is super off putting to me. So I will pass this along. I do like scalp and body scrubs though.

MOTD Lighting Crew Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $15

This is soft if has taklon bristles and it is pretty but it does not feel like the quality of a $15 brush it should be much weightier had have a better ferrule.

Dermedicine Retinol Detox Mask

Full Size: 2 oz

Full Size Cost: $35

Sample Size: 0.88 oz

Value: $15.40

I have never heard of a retinol mask before I am really excited to try this out. It isn’t even terribly expensive for a retinol.

Veriphy Ctrl + Alt + Del Facial Cleanser

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $38.20

I am so sick of getting cleansers I have so many.

First Aid Beauty Pores Be Gone Matte Primer

Full Size: 1.7 oz

Full Size Cost: $30

Sample Size: 0.34 oz

I don’t love First Aid Beauty products all the time either. They are also so expensive for like what? I know some people passionately love them and I get that.

Well another month another bag.

F.A.R.A.H. Blush & Highlight Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $24

I do not like Farah brushes they are so over priced for very low quality brushes. they don’t preform well they don’t feel expensive they honestly kinda suck.

Theorie Body Nourishing Body Scrub

Full Size: 200 ml

Full Size Cost: $17

Sample Size: 45 ml

Value: $3.83

This is probably only one or two uses but it is really fun to get a scrub something different in the box for a change. Also I bet this will smell amazing. But I have too many scrubs open to open this right now.

Benefit The Porefessional Super Setter

Full Size: 120 ml

Full Size Cost: $32

Sample Size: 15 ml

Value: $4

I have tried this once before and it is cool it has powder in it so you have to shake it well but it sets down really nice because of that I am pretty excited to be able to test this out a bit more.

Erborian CC Crème in Dore

Full Size: 45 ml

Full Size Cost: $44

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $4.89

This is very much the Asian style of cc cream where it starts grey and turns into a color as you rub it in. it is very sheer very glowy I like that it has spf in it I will definitely use this.

Soo Ae Food Story Mask Kiwi

Full Size: 1 mask

Full Size Cost: $3

Soo Ae Food Story Mask in Pomegranate

This bag reminds me of Fantasia and I don’t really know why.

Complex Culture All Over Shadow Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $18

This was my choice for the month I already own this brush I got it in an Ipsy bag in the past but I love it. It is such a good brush blends so well and is so soft. I love this brush it is really good quality and it feels so nice in my hand.

Lasting Smiles Lip Balm in Strawberry Creme

Full Size: 4 pack

Full Size Cost: $19.99

Sample Size: 1, 4.25g

Value: $5

I love a good lip balm and strawberry creme is a flavor I can really get behind. I find it weird that you can only buy these lip balms in 4 packs but what ever.

Goldfaden MD Pure Start Gentle Detoxifying Facial Cleanser

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $35

Sample Size: 20 ml

Value: $4.67

I love this brand but it is so expensive. I don’t believe you need an expensive cleanser since it is on your skin for so short of a time. It is nice to have one to use occasionally though.

Lottie London am to pm Eyeliner in Black

Full Size: 1.1 g

Full Size Cost: $4.49

Yay another black eyeliner. I legit have a drawer full. This is really creamy and smooth and black though so this is a nice one.

Well I am allergic to roses so I won’t be opening this but it looks really nice.
