I feel like this month has gone so freaking fast despite how crazy and trying this month has been. I did really well this month. I used up more then the avg amount of items I need to use up each month as well as more then the avg value I need to use up each month. Yay me.
Skincare (20)
Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm always and forever my favorite cleansing balm it takes everything off it doesn’t sting my eyes it doesn’t leave a weird film on my face or eyes. Love forever.
Repurchase: Yes
Patchology Rejuvenating Eye Gels these were nice they stayed on well and they felt cooling and relaxing. They were also really comfortable.
Repurchase: Maybe
Soo Ae My Collagen Hydrogel Lip Patch this did not stay on well at all I had to hold it on which was not relaxing. I sorta liked the weird tingle it gave my lips and it did plump them a lot with out hurting and stinging so in that way it was effective but it did not hydrate my lips.
Repurchase: Maybe
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask I love this sleeping mask it gives my skin such a refreshed look after I have used it I really like it but it is so expensive that it pains me to buy it so Idk.
Repurchase: Maybe
Neogen White Truffle Serum in Oil Drop this was very oily did not absorb well and was very hard to get out of the bottle I don’t feel like it provide anything to my skin so I would not recommend it it felt like an extra step with no purpose.
Repurchase: No
Olay Daily Facials Daily Hydrating Clean Dry Cloth this was fine but washing my face with face wipes even these sudsy ones is not my personal preference.
Repurchase: No
La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum this I did not like it was really sticky and didn’t feel that great on. I much prefer a thinner hyaluronic acid serum.
Repurchase: No
Clarins Shaping Facial Lift this did nothing. And in the attempt to be fancy they made the packaging so thick and stiff it was super hard to squeeze out.
Repurchase: No
Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask this is fine I don’t think it does much and I would not buy this there are better cheaper masks.
Repurchase: No
Garnier SkinActive Refreshing Remover Cleansing Towelettes these are forever my favorite wipes they are expensive though. I found a pretty close dupe at the dollar store but it isn’t exactly the same.
Repurchase: Yes
NuFace Prep-n-Glow Dual Sided Cloth I love these they are so expensive though I only use them as a treat. I love that they have an exfoliating side and a cleansing side. I wait till I have coupons at Macy’s so I can get them for free or very very cheap.
Repurchase: Yes, when I get them for free though
Ole Henriksen Pore Balance Facial Sauna Scrub I hated this is has actual sand in it. It was so rough and thick and just not enjoyable to use at all. I liked that it warmed up on my face but it just felt way to harsh.
Repurchase: No
PS Face Treats Eye Patches these are a joke they are not treating eye patches these are really something fun you give to some preteens for a sleep over. They stay on really well though and they are cooling. They don’t actually do anything though.
Repurchase: No
Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing Eye Cream this is wildly expensive and I don’t think it did anything it was really thick and sticky and not smoothing or hydrating or plumping or treating anything at all.
Repurchase: No
Pacifica Clean Shot Retinoid + Bakuchiol 3% in Seawater I didn’t see any results from this after using it for over a month. It was just a serum but I saw no changes in my skin.
Repurchase: No
SK-II Pitera Facial Treatment Essence this I just it really does nothing I don’t get why it is so expensive of why people rave about it. I have one more bottle that I am going to use up so that I can say that I used it almost every day for two months and see if something magic happens but it feels like a waste of time.
Repurchase: No
Nuface Line Smoothing Serum so I have the Nuface line smoothing device and this is the thing you use with it that conducts the electric current. I can’t say that I think it works yet but will see.
Repurchase: Probably because I need it to make the device work but I have a full size and this was just a small sample I had that I used up first.
Pure Bliss Body Confections The Wilds Matcha Face Mask this was really good it really did draw stuff out of my skin and helped it immensely.
Repurchase: Maybe
Clean Skin Club Vitamin C Brightening Booster I don’t this this was a very potent vitamin c serum I did not see as much brightening as I have with other vitamin c products.
Repurchase: No
Beekman 1802 Bloom Cream Probiotic Moisturizer I wanted to hate this because $54 for a moisturizer with no actives is absurd but this was so nice. I only needed the tiniest bit this tiny packet lasted like 5 day. The glow it gave my skin was so nice and it made my skin not feel sticky or gross but it did feel hydrated
Repurchase: Maybe it is so nice but so expensive, I think if I ever manage to run out of moisturizer and have absolutely none left I can treat myself to this.

Eco Tools Mask Remover Sponges I like these for getting stubborn clay masks off. I would buy them but I never see them in stores and I am not going to go out of my way to buy them online.
Repurchase: I Would
Fortune Cookie Soap Company OCD Hand Sanitizer in Time Flies I didn’t love the scent on this one it was a bit floral and very liquidy which I also didn’t prefer.
Repurchase: No
Secret Essential Oils Deodorant in Coconut Oil + Mandarin this was horrible first of all full price it is $11.50 for deodorant wtf second of all it was really smeary and messy it got on my clothes and it wasn’t super great at being a deodorant it was fine as an antiperspirant but like it was just a bad product.
Repurchase: Hell No
Gillette Skintimate Skin Therapy Lotionized Shave Gel I really loved this I normally don’t like regular shave cream but this was really soft and lux feeling it clung to my skin well and left my skin really soft and smooth.
Repurchase: Yes
Home Scents (6)
Bath and Body Works Blueberry Sugar Candle this is one of my more favorite candles the scent throw is really good and I like the sweet blueberry scent.
Repurchase: Yes
Swan Creek Candle Co. Drizzle Melt in Vanilla Pound Cake I love these melts a lot they come in a ton of scents they melt well they can be remelted a few times before they lose their scent, I love them.
Repurchase: Yes
Bath and Body Works Hot Cocoa and Cream Candle this is one of my favorite candles it smells like a Hershey bar and I really enjoy it.

Repurchase: No
Bath and Body Works Scentportable Stress Relief same as above.
Repurchase: No
Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Spiced Apple Toddy this was really nice I liked the scent it was very warm and spicy.
Repurchase: Yes

Clinique Pretty Easy Liquid Eyelining Pen in 01 Black this is really hard to use likek it is hard to get a nice thin even line and it isn’t super black so you have to make multiple passes. I would tell anyone to steer very clear of this product there are so many other better liquid liners.
Repurchase: No
Stila Glitter & Glow in Next to Notte I love these glitter and glows they are so pretty and easy but they do dry out over time and I don’t feel like rehydrating them gives the same effect that they once had so this one has lived its life and has to go which is big sad I loved this pretty pinky red glitter. I have a feeling all my Stila’s are gonna start to dry out this year and that is really sad I need to use them more.
Repurchase: Yes, Maybe this color maybe a new one but I like the product
Too Faced Glitter Glue I really liked this it was much better then the Nyx glitter glue I have been using I could see this being my next glue purchase when I use up the ones I have.
Repurchase: Yes
Lotion (5)
Beekman 1802 Pure Goat Milk Whipped Body Cream this was just meh and I didn’t love the slightly milky non scent it had.
Repurchase: No
Bio Oil Dry Skin Gel (x2) this is very greasy, it goes on like this thick gel that I thought would be great and like melt into my skin but it just stays sitting on the skin and stays greasy and oily.
Repurchase: No
Bath and Body Works Dry Hand Relief Glycerin Hand Cream this was really nice and I would absolutely get this again. It was a bit greasy but it was very moisturizing and made my hands feel great and had a light citrus scent that I loved.
Repurchase: Yes
Gold Bond Strength & Resilience Lotion this was just ok it wasn’t anything I loved.
Repurchase: No
Bodycare (1)
Fortune Cookie Soap Company Foaming Sugar Scrub in Cookies & Scream I loved this so much it smelled like chocolate and cookies and yum.
Repurchase: Yes

Too Faced Melted Matte in Queen B love the formula but I just don’t like this weird grey dusty mauve color on me it makes me look sick. And that is coming from some one who regularly wears greens, blues and grey lipsticks. I am considering one day getting one in a color I do like if we can ever wear lipsticks again because buying lipstick right now seems dumb.
Palladio Shadow & Liner Herbal Crayon in Espresso this is starting to dry out and I just will never use a shimmery dark brown eye crayon so while it’s hard to let it go because I have a whole color collection from them and my collector heart is like leave it with its friend’s, completionism! I don’t need it taking up space from products I would reach for.
Joah Precision Brow Pencil in Ebony I just hate this I tried to make it work for me and I would hate how my eyebrows came out every time I used it I just couldn’t find any use for this. It is trash.
Starting the year off strong. So much full size skincare alot of it I had been working on for a bit and the dregs all just made their way into January so it feels a little like cheating but it is a healthy start to the new year.
