I used up a shit ton this month. I went on a little mini vacation in in the beginning of November (Which honestly feels like a lifetime ago not just 5 weeks ago) so there is a separate picture of those empties since I am not in the habit of packing my trash up.

Vacation Empties

Kiss Professional Pro Touch Primer Omg one I used and one is being decluttered this burned my skin when I put it on and made my foundation peel off in dry flakey sheets. This is the worst thing I have ever put on my skin.

 

Repurchase: No, not even if its free

 

Travel toothbrush I love travel toothbrushes that are nice and contained and clean but it was time for this one to go. I prefer the ones that fold into themselves.

 

Repurchase: No

 

Crest Pro Health toothpaste a perfectly fine toothpaste.

 

Repurchase: Sure

 

Eva Nyc Hair Towelette I had high hopes that this would take down the frizzies and make my hair smooth and shiny but it really did nothing.

 

Repurchase: No

 

Skin Fix Cleansing Cloths these did a good job of taking off my makeup but weren’t really that impressive.

 

Repurchase: No

 

Estee Lauder Foundation I don’t remember the exact type of this sample but it was heavy and cakey.

 

Repurchase: No

 

Dior Poison Girl Perfume this I really enjoyed the smell is so nice and like darkly fruity.

 

Repurchase: Yes

 

Fresh Black Tea Firming Corset Cream I didn’t see and firming but it was a ince moisturizer.

 

Repurchase: No

 

Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash I hate Dove body washes as I’ve said before I don’t feel clean after I use them.

 

Repurchase: No

Declutter

Gourmand Pistachio Brulee Candle This smelled nice in the jar but had no scent when burning and burned terribly It was black and lumpy the wick was weird this was a shitty candle.

 

Random chapstick as I said trying to move all these non branded not special chapsticks out of my collection.

 

Colourpop Crystal Lip Balm in Amber this came in a set from Sephora.  The other two products are good but this is awful. It smells like sweat and it is stick and not a great color like a dirty orange.

 

Catrice Highlighting powder this has to much glitter and I just don’t need it and will never use it so off it goes.

 

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Soap in Valley Girl this was messy with the glitter and I didn’t like the scent so I threw it out (Who would want used soap lol).

 

Gillette shaving cream this is only a declutter because the pump broke and I can’t get the rest of the gel out, but I do like this and will have it again in the future sometimes stuff like that just happens. I usually get these for free or almost free with sales and coupons so I am not overly upset.

Candles

Victoria Secret Pink Candle in Midnight Sage this was great at first and then I don’t know I feel like it went bad and started to smell really  strong in a bad way.

 

Repurchase: No

 

Bath and Body Works Vampire Blood Mini Candle I loved the scent on this one it was raspberries.

 

Repurchase: Yes

 

Bath and Body Works Creep It Real Mini Candle this is the Mahogany Teakwood candle and I hate it. It came in the set of mini candles I bought and that is the only reason I used it up.

 

Repurchase: No

Soap

Bath and Body Works Creamy Body Wash in Champagne Apple & Honey this was a great body wash it was creamy and luxe feeling and a nice fresh apple scent.

 

Repurchase: Yes

 

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Soap used it up but it wasn’t memorable.

 

Repurchase: No

Skin Care

Primark Men’s Facial Wipes cheap and they get the job done.

 

Repurchase: Yes

 

Primark Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes these are better then the makeup removes but not as good as the men’s ones.

 

Repurchase: No

 

Earth’s Recipe Stem Water Cleanser I assumed this was going to be gentle boy was I wrong this dried the hell out of my skin. I would not recommend this.

 

Repurchase: No

 

Kiel’s Creamy Eye Treatment this was so thick like I could hardly rub it in. Just not delicate enough for my eye area.

 

Repurchase: No

 

Belif Hungarian Water Essence this was lovely a nice light watery moisturizer.

 

Repurchase: Yes

 

elf Eye refresher this really did nothing other then feel slightly cool.

 

Repurchase: No

Random

Degree Motion Sense Deodorant this was fine.

 

Repurchase: Yes

 

Old Spice Fiji Mini Deodorant I like these for travel or in my work bag men’s minis are cheaper so I get those they last longer too.

 

Repurchase: Yes

 

Wally’s Vitamin E Oil this is eh. Didn’t do much for my scars.

 

Repurchase: No

 

Sephora Cotton Rounds These work they don’t shed that’s all I really need.

 

Repurchase: Yes

 

Japonesque Solid Brush Cleanser this was alright but I am still looking for a holy grail brush cleanser.

 

Repurchase: No

 

Tony Moly Shiny Foot this is one of those foot peeling masks this leaked and was not nearly as good as other ones I have tried. Took double the time to start peeling and did not peel as much or as well.

 

Repurchase: No

Lip Care

Lasting Smiles Peppermint Vanilla Chapstick this was sweet and minty and felt great on the lips. I always feel so accomplished when I use up a chapstick.

 

Repurchase: No only because I don’t know where to get them

 

Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask in Original and Champagne these are so sticky and not at all hydrating or repairing I don’t get what people are raving about. I have one more little sample to use up but they suck.

 

Repurchase: No

Makeup

Fenty Beauty Foundation I wasn’t really a fan it wasn’t a great texture on me and wasn’t really that long wearing either.

 

Repurchase: No

 

Urban Decay Primer Potion I didn’t think it was possible to use one of these up but I did. I am not a fan of this one which is Eden and truth be told I’m bored of this primer in general having been using it for years.

 

Repurchase: No, I still have like three more tubes

Hair Care

Marajó Cleansing Cream this was ok kinda felt like normal shampoo.

 

Repurchase: No

 

Marajó Deep Treatment Butter this was great but I wouldn’t want to use it not as part of the system so I won’t be getting this either.

 

Repurchase: No

Perfume

Prada Candy this was too sweet I didn’t like it.

 

Repurchase: No

I’m not going to make double my goal but pretty damn close. I am so pleased with myself over how much I have used up this year. I normally am such a product hoarder that it is hard for me to use stuff up and let it go. I am really hapy and proud and it has really helped me see what I do and don’t like in a product.

<3 Nightmare Before Makeup

So most of these were used up while I was on vacation so there is not giant picture this month because I just was not flying with trash in my bad that is just a little too much crazy for me. So this will just be a little all over the place.

Skin Care

Tarte Maracuja C Brightener Eye Treatment I liked this at first but then I don’t know I don’t feel like it really did that much. This was just kinda eh.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works True Blue Spa Cracked Heel Treatment don’t waste your money the smell of this made me gag and it didn’t do anything it was terrible.

Repurchase: No

Ulta Sugar Cookie Macaroon Face and Body Wipes these I buy every Holiday Season they always smell so good they aren’t really that great but they are fun and cheap. They are pretty good for refreshing your body if you’re sweaty I keep them in my work bag. But they probably are not the best for your skin being packed with alcohol and fragrance.

Repurchase: Yes

Buff Her Crumbs Vanilla Exfoliator this is one of those powders that you can mix with anything I did not like this it did not exfoliate well didn’t even smell that good the jar was cute though. I got this in an Ipsy bag a long time ago ad finally got around to using it but it sucked.

Repurchase: No

Miss Spa Facial Peel off Mask in Pore Refining I don’t remember if this did anything for me or not but I do remember that it peeled off really well it was an enjoyable peeling mask and that is what is important in a peel mask lol. My face was softer after. I do like this brand but I only pick stuff up on a whim.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bliss Fabulous Makeup Up Melt this is one of those gel oil cleansers that melts your makeup off it didn’t work that well and left tons of makeup on my skin. It smelled nice and was gentle but it just wasn’t effective.

Repurchase: No

Biore Baking Soda Acne Scrub I love these baking soda and charcoal scrubs from Biore but I am still trying to find my absolute favorite I can’t decide yet but they do all work to make my skin feel clean and nice and not oily.

Repurchase: Yes

Sephora Mud Mask Purifying & Mattifying this was awful. I have another sample of this and probably will declutter it. This was impossible to get off and did nothing for my skin at all. It actuall hurt and made my skin really irritate to try and scrub it off

Repurchase: NO!

Simple Micellar Cleansing Facial wipes people love these but I don’t get it they really didn’t work at all to clean anything off my face not makeup not oil or dirt nothing. Total Fail.

Repurchase: No

Sephora Express Eye Makeup Remover Wipes these didn’t work well had I had to tug and rub at my eyes alot which is not something I want to be doing.

Repurchase: No

Studio 35 Beauty Detoxifying Mask this is Walgreens house brand. My skin freaked out after flying and looked horrible so I bought this for like a dollar or two to try and make my skin relax because it was a honey mask and that usually helps my skin calm down. This was awesome I loved it it really helped clean up and calm my skin down heal up my acne and pull out alot of the random oil that was pouring out of my skin I will definitely be buying more for when my skin acts up.

Repurchase: YES!

Dove Purely Pampering Body Wash I have the full size of this in a different scent. I hate them I do not like Dove soap. They are too moisturizing I do not feel clean after I shower I feel like I Just put lotion on dirt I do not like it. If you have very dry skin this may be for you It’s just more moisture then my skin knows what to do with.

Repurchase: No

Bliss Lemon and sage body butter this smelled so good I love the additon of sage or basil into body care it reminds me of my grandmother”s garden when I was little and it helps cute any sweetness or two much citrus.

Repurchase: Yes

Tarte Guard Sunscreen spf 30 this was good face sunscreen it did not break me out. I do not often use sunscreen it often leaves me broken out or with read itchy rashes this did not so I would consider picking it up if I was ever in the market for sunscreen.

Repurchase: Maybe

Makeup

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer hey we all know and love this primer I have never owned a full size I always have tons of samples. its a good primer but I have so many ad get so many free that I really don’t buy primers.

Repurchase: No only because I have so many

Glamglow Glowstarter in Nude Glow I really want to buy this and darker shade but they are so expensive this just makes my skin look lovely and healthy ad glowy and even with out having to put any foundation on. So obviously it doesn’t wear or look like I have any coverage it is like a your skin but better moisturizer. I’m into it Because I don’t love wearing foundation.

Repurchase: One day

Benefit Fakeup Concealer I don’t even know if they make this any more this is a weird consistency it is like a liquid cream matte stick its like the strangest thing it does work and it doesn’t crease if you don’t put a ton on but eve a touch to much and it looks like crap. Its really hard to use. It looks nice if yo put it on right but if you don’t it looks terrible.

Repurchase: No

Benefit Porefessional hey another oldie I used to love this but not I am just trying to use it up it doesn’t work for me any more and balls up under my skin it never used to do that but this used to be a product I loved it just isn’t working for me anymore I do still recommend it I think it just works a little better for younger skin.

Repurchase: No

Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation I hate that this looked great because it is pricey but when I need new foundation I may have to pick this up if I can find a good shade match this was obviously a sample so it was close but not perfect. It really is a liquid that dried to a nice smooth powder finish and right now at least this seems to be the texture that my skin likes in a foundation and anything else can sit weird if I don’t take alot of time to buff it in well. This is a perfect formula for everyday quick makeup.

Repurchase: One day

Hair Care

L’oreal Smooth Intense Shampoo, preconditioner and conditioner I did not like this. It left my hair sticky and not smooth or straight.

Repurchase: No

Rich oil sorry I do not at all know what brand this is. It was nice but very thick much to thick for my hair. It took forever to absorb.

Repurchase: No

Colour oil same unknown brand this was lighter and a little nicer but it was greasy and maybe my hair need to be washed much quicker.

Repurchase: No

Wen in pomegranate I do really like this it does work well on my hair and it is easy to rinse out but I am trying a new cleansing conditioner to see how I like it.

Repurchase: Yes

Vernon Francois Co-Wash Shampoo I’d love to have an opinion on this co-wash since I am in the process of testing new ones out. Unfortunately there was not even enough in this sample to wash the ends of my hair. This was a real bullshit sample.

Repurchase: No

Perfume

Atelier Cologne Clementine California I love Atelier colognes so much this one is not as good as the Orange Sanguine though and for the price I would  pick that over this. Both are lovely citrus scents but the Orange Sanguine is warmer and lasts longer Clementine is too light and fades much to quickly on me for the price.

Repurchase: No

Cartier Declaration this was nice to try very strong and long lasting but not something I am super interested in. I would enjoy another sample but won’t be buying this.

Repurchase: No

Nest Indigo ooh this was way to fucking strong it gave me a headache I have not been a huge fan of any Nest scents they are just too strong for me. And I like strong scents so this is really overwhelming.

Repurchase: No

Tocca Giulietta this was way to flowery and girly not a scent I enjoy I like warm sweet scents and fruity scents.

Repurchase: No

Household

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Polyjuice Potion Personal Space Air Freshener this is one of their permanent scents it is a lovely fresh lemon lime type scent can you see the theme here I am clearly partial to citrus scents. This bottle has lasted me forever I mean like over a year and a half.

Repurchase: Yes

Random

Charcoal toothbrush I really like using charcoal toothbrushes and toothpaste to in addition to regular toothpaste. They do temporarily make my teeth a little brighter and take away some stains they also make my moth feel clean and is fairly gentle but there is not normal mint taste and they are messy so it isn’t always practical.

Repurchase: Yes

Sally Hansen Finishing Oil this is what I like to use after I wax my eyebrows to take off the wax and help soothe my skin. I do not know if you can buy this in a full size or if you can only get it in the waxing kits. I’ve only every gotten it in the waxing kits.

Repurchase: Yes

Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant this really was put to the ringer in Florida and it did a decent job of keeping away smell and sweat but even it had to succumb to Florida’s August heat and humidity.

Repurchase: No

Random hotel mouthwash it tasted terrible.

Repurchase: No, Could you even probably not

GUM Fluoride Toothpaste this was an ok toothpaste the flavor was eh but it did its job.

Repurchase: No

Declutter

3 Victoria Secret Eyeshadows these were weird and cool but they are so very old they have to be like 8 years old at least. They are like a crushes up powder eyeshadow in a jar and the silver piece pulls off and has a sponge applicator that you apply the shadow with. They were great for like quick eyeshadow when I was running late in highschool but I have out grown these.

Pignose Clear Blackhead this was supposed to like heat up and help extract or clean out your black heads it never did anything for me no matter how I tried to use it and I’m giving up on this.

Olay Fresh Effects Spot Zinger this did diddly squat as a spot treatment. I much prefer Clearasil.

The Balm eyeshadow sample in Willkomen its just a boring brown I have a million don’t need a single of it. I’ll pass it on to some one who can use it.

This was a free chapstick I got somewhere it is horrible it has the worst thick oil petroleum jelly texture and it smells chemically.

---

Mostly misses this month like there were really very few things I enjoyed this month that’s kinda sad I like to enjoy my products so I guess it is good to be moving the crap I don’t like out of my collection. Though if I keep this kind of pace I may be able to double my years goal.
