nightmareb4

Rough month for empties. I used practically nothing. I did do some auditing of like “lost” items somethings that were still on the list that have just poofed into nonexistence so the numbers have gone down alot but I will always wonder where those items disappeared too lol.

Skincare (3)

Earth to Skin Super Fruits Prickly Pear Sheet Mask this was nice very milk ton of serum there was a bunch I was able to use on my chest and arms. it smelled really scented at first but it faded away quick.

Repurchase: No

No7 Future Renew Damage Reversal Day Cream SPF 25 this was very thick and sticky and white.

Repurchase: No

Bath Apothecary Face Scrub in Wayward Children this didn’t have enough particles to be really scrubby but it still did the job as a face wash.

Repurchase: No

Random (1)

Dr. Scholl’s Tired Achy Feet Soothing & Reviving Foot Mask these are really soothing like they don’t fully fix a problem but they sure help take the edge of a little.

Repurchase: Yes

Home Scents (2)

Bath and Body Works Sunshine Mimosa Fine Fragrance Mist I used this as a room spray it was fine.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Single Wick Candle in Suntan I love this scent it smells like sunscreen and the beach. This candle is from at least two years ago and still smells good but I feel like the scent throw has really gone downhill.

Repurchase: I don’t know

Lip (1)

Vaseline Lip Therapy Rosy Lips this wasn’t really tinted it was fine I like the aloe one more.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (1)

Nyx Plump Right Back Plumping Serum Primer this is a really nice primer it does give some plumping/filling to the skin and its sticky enough to really hold on to make up but with out breaking me out a way a lot of really sticky primes can.

Repurchase: Maybe

Lotion (1)

Body Butter in Lila Reyes I loved this I wish I knew the brand but there is nothing on the packaging. This just had a very unique like calming minty sleepytime sent and the lotion was very moisturizing and light.

Repurchase: I wish I could.

Bodycare (1)

Bath and Body Works Shower Gel in Wild Strawberry Leaf this was fine it barely had a scent.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (3)

IGK Pay Day Instant Repair Shampoo I really liked these. They worked well for my hair.

Repurchase: Already Have

Artic Fox Hair Color in Sunset Orange it doesn’t last long but it is easy to use smells good easy to wash out. So I go back to it.

Repurchase: Yes

Bumble and Bumble bb Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Mask I actually really liked this it made my hair feel really thick and healthy.

Repurchase: Maybe

Declutter (4)

The Balm Bronzilla I didn’t really like how this picked up on my brush and I have 50 million bronzers so this can go.

V. Kosmetik Lightweight Powder Blush in Natural Kiss I really liked the color of this blush unfortunately it broke so that really sucks.

Tattoo Junkee Lip Gloss in Dreamer this just bleeds everywhere.

Brow Bar By Reema Bombshell Brow Kit in Dark I just never reach for this and it is so bulky so it needs to go.

Feels good to get like a few declutters out.

Skincare (20)

Peter Thomas Roth Peptide Skinjection Moisture Infusion Cream this was nice I liked it.

Repurchase: Maybe

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Firming Collagen Cream this was heavy but I started it when my skin was freaking out because I knew this would be gentle.

Repurchase: No

Zitsticka Killa Kit Deep Zit Microdart these are good they do work they don’t make the pimples go away or at least not for me because I use them on really really bad ones because these are expensive but there is significant improvement.

Repurchase: Yes

Vitamasques Acai Berry Sheet Mask I didn’t really like this it slid all over and wasn’t that easy or comfortable to wear.

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex I don’t really like this serum even though it gets great reviews I don’t love the feel or the scent and I don’t think it does anything.

Repurchase: No

SK-II Facial Treatment Mask this are absurdly expensive I don’t love them they are very thick and have a ton of serum and I find they stay on decent and I can wear them for a long time but I don’t think they are worth the price. I will use them when I have them but I would not go out of my way to get these.

Repurchase: Yes

Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel this is no effective at brightening or depuffing.

Repurchase: No

Repurchase: Yes

Tsaio Chamomila Facial Wash Foam I could cut this open and get a ton more but I hated it so much that once I couldn’t squeeze it anymore it had to go. It was so thick and really hard to foam up and really didn’t make my skin feel clean.

Repurchase: No

Dr. Jart+ DermaClear Micro Makeup Remover (4) these are good at removing make up for sure but stings like hell if it gets in your eyes.

Repurchase: No

Random (5)

FCS OCD Hand Sanitizer in BFF’S this is my preferred brand of hand sanitizer and I I use them all the time.

Repurchase: Eventually

Repurchase: Yes

Yuni Shower Sheets I like these types of things they are great when you are gross and can’t shower like at theme park and just need to feel refreshed. I have other brands I like better though.
