nightmareb4Leave a comment

Here we are finishing out the year. I think i really need to lower my goals I’ve been ambitious and have not been meeting them.

Skincare (7)

FCS Superfruit Facial Oil in You’re So Beautiful I ended up using this as a hand oil and loved it for that but the scent was so strong good but strong that I just could not tolerate it on my face but I love a body oil and hand oil so I enjoyed this a ton just not for its intended purpose.

Repurchase: Eh it’s too expensive at this size for what I use it for.

Leaders Pore-Scaling Black Aqua this is just a sheet mask nothing special.

Repurchase: No

Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mask this was really nice maybe my skin look and feel good but I wouldn’t buy such an expensive sheet mask.

Repurchase: No

Garnier Skin Active Moisture Bomb The Super Hydrating Mask Soothing Sheet Mask this is fine just a sheet mask a little wet but not too drippy.

Repurchase: Maybe

R.E.M. Beauty Full Night’s Sleep Cooling Blurring Undereye Balm I actually really liked this it had a cooling matte effect and it was smooth and nice and I did make my under eyes look and feel smoother and depuffed. Didn’t do much for brightening or moisturizing.

Repurchase: Probably

Vitamasques Snow Glow Eye these were super cute  but they didn’t do a ton and they did slide around even though I wasn’t doing anything.

Repurchase: No

Clarins One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser I unfortunately really liked this it was scrubby my skin felt good and clean and soft I don’t love that the beads didn’t all break but still nice.

Repurchase: Maybe

Vitamasques Candy Cane Foot this was good I liked it very moisturizing.

Repurchase: Yes

Repurchase: No

Basin Lip Balm in Chinese Mandarin these are good lip balms I like them.

Repurchase: Maybe

Makeup (2)

Repurchase: No

m2u nyc Eye Primer in Nude this is just a nude primer I do not like it more then Urban Decay or Two Faced and because primer lasts so freaking long like literally years I rather pay more for something I know I like.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (1)
