What’s In My Trash? January 2018

nightmareb4

First month of the new year already over that is so crazy to me.  I have decide that I want to attempt 365 empties (and decluttered items) for the year. After how much I used up and decluttered this month I think I can do it.

This accidentally went up for a few hours before it was finished storry about that now its all finished.

And here is most of this months stuff holy crap. For the rest see the declutter section at the end.

Makeup

Covergirl Full Bloom Mascara I loved this. It gave me perfect fluffy lashes. I also really liked the smell it has that classic mascara smell that is just like nostalgic happiness.

Repurchase: Yes

 

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil in Perversion I can’t believe I finally finished this it too me a year of solid use to get through and I am so FUCKING excited to be done with it.  I don’t like the perversion shade it does not work for me at all. It goes all grey on me and smudges and it is just a mess on me I know most people love it but for me I prefer Zero as a black liner from them. I have for billion more samples of this So this may show up again in declutters or I may use them I don’t know. Obviously since there is another side to this pencil in LSD (Which I do really like) this isn’t going to leave my collection just move from the black eyeliner drawer to the color eyeliner drawer.

Repurchase: No

Lip Products

Bite Beauty Lip Scrub Not the best not the worst it doesn’t taste the worst but also doesn’t scrub the best.

Repurchase: No

 

Bite Beauty Agave Lip Balm this was different then the one I used last month this is a thick waxy balm I really didn’t like it at first but after about a minute it starts to melt into your lips and becomes a much more comfortable balm that really feels glidey when you rub your lips together which is nice. But still not impressed enough.

Repurchase: No

 

Chapstick Hydration Lock this has a day side and a night side and I finished up both sides this was great I really liked this. The night side I preferred slightly it was a little textured but also more moisturizing. The day side has spf which is critical in a lip balm for me if I am going to be outside in the sun a lot. I randomly picked this up at five below when I was in emergency need of lip balm ad I would definitely pick this up again if I ever see it.

Repurchase: Yes

 

Skyn Iceland Berry Lip Fix I went through this really fast but I really really liked it. It had a weird gritty but smooth texture and a minty berry taste I really liked this as a night/at home balm.

Repurchase: Yes

Skin Care

Sephora Collection Sleeping Mask in Pearl this is a brightening sleeping mask you put it on go to bed and wake up with better skin that is the theory I really like the green tea on I tried this one was just ok. It is sticky they all are and I used it when I needed a little moisture which it provided but I don’t feel it did a whole lot of brightening.

Repurchase: No

 

SpaLife Energizing Grapefruit Sheet Mask this was awful the shape was horrible the eye flaps were like upside down it was really unwearable. I ended up just spreading the serum on my face and letting it soak in it was very and did absolutely nothing. It also made my face feel kinda warm in a bad way after I had rinsed it off do not recommend this mask at all.

Repurchase: Hell No

 

Lush Cupcake Fresh Face Mask well this smelled like brownie batter but that’s where the love ends for me. This is supposed to be good for oily skin like helping remove the oil without stripping but I didn’t see that and it felt weird and thick and clumpy on my skin.

Repurchase: No

 

Clinique Acne Solutions Clearing Gel this was unremarkable and doesn’t work as well as the Clearsil one that is like a third of the price so there is no reason to get this over the drugstore one.

Repurchase: No

 

Biore Charcoal Nose Strip I really like these nose strips the Biore ones are the only ones that work for me and actually remove junk from my pores. My nose always feels smoother after but I try not to do them often as they are not the best for your skin all the time.

Repurchase: In the future at some point, but not the near future

 

Garnier Skin Active Moisture Bomb this was fine it was a gel texture and absorbed quick and didn’t break me out so on that note it checks all the boxes but I don’t feel like it did anything or moisturized my skin much so this was eh in the summer this might be nice though. I wasn’t impressed enough to buy it but I’d try another sample in the summertime if a sample comes my way.

Repurchase: No

 

Farmacy Honey Savior Skin Salve this was a lot like putting straight grease mixed with honey on my skin I was not a fan of the smell or texture.  It was so thick and didn’t absorb that it almost irritate my skin because it was thick and just sitting there.

Repurchase: No

 

Primark Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes these are really cheap and I only use them for swatches.  They work good for swatches and I’ll probably pick up more next time I am in Primark.  They save me from using “good” ones on my swatches.

Repurchase: Yes

 

Purlisse Green Tea + Ginger Rejuvenating Sheet Mask I am not the biggest fan of Purlisse masks.  They are very wet and cold which is not my favorite feeling.  This was sticky when I removed it but my skin did look rejuvenated. I have a ton of sheet masks so to make me repurchase one you really have to wow me. I probably have 50 sheet masks

Repurchase: Maybe

 

Sephora Waterproof Eye makeup remover this is my favorite liquid eye makeup remover I have ever tried.  It doesn’t sting my eyes or get in my contacts and it takes my makeup off. It is dual phase so you have to shake it and it’s a pretty blue color I really like it.

Repurchase: Yes

 

Clinique All About Eyes eye cream this was ok I didn’t love it. It left a really nice velvety texture under my eyes but didn’t actually do anything. It wasn’t super moisturizing and even though it left my skin feeling smooth you couldn’t put it on under makeup because it would make concealer and foundation patchy and make my mascara smudge.

Repurchase: No

 

Dr. Brandt Needles No More Eye De-Duffing Gel this sample was like all dried out and thick and hard to use. There was also barely anything in the tube so it is hard to really comment on the effectiveness of this.

Repurchase: No

Body Care

Fig + Moss, which I believe is now called Among the Flowers, Pink Salt Scrub this was amazing it smells so so so goo like it has this warm undertone that is almost cookie like but not and then on   is the grapefruit smell from the grapefruit essential oils. It smells divine.  It also made my skin feel so smooth and velvety soft. I was all set to order more when I saw the price had changed. When I bought it it was $10 at Urban Outfitters and I got it on sale I was all set to shell out another ten bucks since it was so good and I see the price has almost fucking doubled and they raised it to $18 so on principal no matter how fantastic this was I just can’t $18 is ridiculous for a tiny little 4 oz jar of body scrub. I’m pouting and stamping my feet about this one for sure.

Repurchase: No, too fucking expensive now

 

L’Occitane Amande Milk Concentrate this was a nice lotion thick but not greasy or difficult to absorb with a nice almond scent. L’Occitane is really expensive so I won’t repurchase it wasn’t so life changing compared to all my other lotions.

Repurchase: No

 

Yadah Lotion this came from a Beauteque Box it was ok had a light scent was happy with it but too much effort to actively go out ad get compared to my easy and more enjoyably scented lotions.

Repurchase: No

 

Ulta Sweet Grapefruit Moisturizing Body Lotion I really liked the smell of this the grapefruit was nice and fruity and sweet but the lotion was just meh nothing special. I wouldn’t pick this up again unless I needed it for some kinda Ulta sale or something.

Repurchase: No, but not totally ruling it out

 

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Second Breakfast whipped cream this one smelled like breakfast but left me sticky not a fan of this one.  But love them to death.

Repurchase: Yes

 

Bliss Lemon + Sage Soapy Suds Body Wash and Bubbling Bath this smelled really nice I like sage and lemon together.

Repurchase: Yes

 

L’Occitane Ultra Rich Comforting Cream this was fine it was a nice thick cream but L’Occitane is way to expensive.

Repurchase: No

Scents

Bath and Body Works Scentportable in Stress Relief I can only tolerate the stress relief scent in this form because it is not as strong and overwhelming.  These are ok they make my car smell good but they are not the strongest or the longest lasting which sucks for how expensive they are. I won’t repurchase this scent but I do have a few more in my stash so you will see more of these coming eventually as I work through them.

Repurchase: No

 

Bath and Body Works Scentportable in Cinnamon Carmel Swirl this was a really great scent nice ad sweet and warm which I loved for the Christmas season this also lasted longer I could smell it in my car off and on for longer than some other ones I have used But again once I go through my stash I don’t know If I will repurchase.

Repurchase: Maybe

 

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Tea Light I can’t remember the fragrance on this one it came in some random box. It was filled with glitter and I think that is why this didn’t burn that great it was just weird and not a great one.

Repurchase: No

 

Nicole’s Home Accents Raspberry Sorbet candle it was a favor I got at my cousin’s baby shower it smelled great in the candle like a raspberry and cream but lit it didn’t smell like anything.

Repurchase: No

 

Bath and Body Works Aquarius Candle (Eucalyptus Rain) in the jar I didn’t like the smell but lit I really liked it. It smelled very clean but without giving me a headache which eucalyptus can sometimes.

Repurchase: Yes

 

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Cinnamon Pretzel Twist this smells just like a cinnamon pretzel right down to the salt and butter. It was very overwhelming at first but after a week or two it faded down and was much more tolerable. The butter smell at the beginning was just too strong for me I have no real desire for my house to smell like melted butter.

Repurchase: No

 

Bath and Body Works Stress Relief Candle I actually used this up months ago, well technically my girlfriend did.  This started to give me a headache with how strong and eucalyptus it is.  This never got into my empties because I wanted to get a candle warmer to finish up the wax on the bottom and I finally got one. Also highly recommend it has been awesome. On the warmer I can enjoy the smell since it isn’t so strong and I was able to get all the waxed cleaned out so I can reuse the jar. I plan to store my dirty makeup brushes in it so that they can be out of the way

Repurchase: Yes for my girlfriend but not for me

 

Bath and Body Works Enjoy the Milk and Cookies (Merry Cookie) Candle well this did smell like sugar cookies but didn’t have the best throw and it got worse and almost smelt like burnt cookies at the end so I wont repurchase keeping the adorable jar though.

Repurchase: No

 

Bath and Body Works Define Naughty (Spice) Candle this smells like red hots. It burned really really well and really clean. I didn’t like the smell but the jar was cute.

Repurchase: No

Random

Dove Go Fresh Revive Deodorant I really liked the pomegranate and lemon verbena scent on this unfortunately this is not the greatest in terms of lasting power this really wore off after a few hours which I normally do not have a problem with. I have one more but after that I will not be rebuying these.

Repurchase: No

 

Two Shick Razor handles these are dirty and gross I have new ones and back up ones so these have lived their life.

Repurchase: Yes, already have

 

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Hide and Seek Whipped Soap I LOVE there whipped soaps they are so creamy and nice to use and leave your hands clean and lotioned at the same time this was a nice sweet christmasy scent.

Repurchase: Yes

 

Perfume

Micheal Kors Sexy Ruby Perfume this smelled well sexy I really enjoyed it.  I can’t really pin down the scent but I got a lot of compliments on it so I may have to buy this.

Repurchase: Probably

 

Rag and Bone Oddity Perfume this is a very complex unisex perfume I used it as like a linen/room spray like I do with a lot of perfume samples I get. It was a little too strong and complex with too many smells for my tastes.

Repurchase: No

 

Hair Care

Gloss Moderne Clean Luxury Maque I hate this see my Sephora Play Review for January.

Repurchase: No

Declutter

Son & Park Beauty Water this did nothing and was useless for taking off make up or cleansing my skin in any way so this is being decluttered.

 

Marc Anthony Deep Repair Aloe Vera and Jasmine hair mask why do I keep using this? I hate it every time I don’t like the smell or how puffy and volumized it makes my hair.  It makes my hair just too big.  So I am committing to decluttering this and any future samples of this.

 

Clinique Perfect Pout Lip Balm this I did not like it was too thick and that made it patchy also the color is too pink for my taste especially with being patchy and opaqueish.

 

Clinique Night Lip Mask this was sticky and thick and slid right off my lips it did not do any moisturizing like a lip mask should this was a fail all around for both the Clinique samples I tried.

 

Tarteist Lash Paint I am currently using a tube of this and this is a second one I had in my stash I like it just fine (Full review when I use it up). But I know this is a mascara my mom will love this is her kind of mascara gives a lot of length and is a wet formula so I can’t justify keeping it to get to it eventually when she’ll actually use it soon and like it.

 

Cake Heavy Cream Intensive Hand Repair Balm I was really excited to try this but the smell makes me sick to my stomach I got about half way through it but I just can’t suffer through it anymore. It is a super thick balm cream If you can handle the smell and like thick creams you would probably like this, but for me I HATE the smell of milk or cream and this smells just like thick cream to me. It almost smells like sour milk (Granted even fresh milk smells sour to me so it might not really smell that way).

 

Sexy Hair 450 Degree Headset this is a protecting spray this is one of those like ugh I am so angry at myself like I should have returned this and didn’t.  I hated this it was so sticky and made my hair clump together and I couldn’t style it or dry it. It was a fucking mess same with the next product.

 

Sexy Hair Soya Want Flat Hair this is a flat iron spray that is supposed to help make straightening your hair better, but I had the same problems as the other sexy hair product and it smelled weird.

 

Alterna Caviar Miracle Multiplying Volume Mist this is just not something I use. I don’t look for volume in my hair but if you do this is nice it just isn’t for me.

 

My Amazing Leave-in secret conditioner I got this in an Ipsy bag forever ago and it did nothing for me. I just don’t want to keep trying to make this work.

39 lip products I am not going through all of these some have been used some have been swatched some have never been touched. Most I am getting rid of because they are just colors I will never wear or formulas I don’t like or just I have something similar that I like better.  We would be here for 8 years just talking about these individual lipsticks and such. This post is already long enough.

Total: 90

Average per Day: 2.9 products per day

I can’t believe I used up 6 candles that is absolutely nonsense. This was some month for using stuff up but January always is for me because it is also when I start to really be like I need to get rid of things that I am not using. I toyed with the Idea of figuring out the value of everything I use up but with school that is just more work that I do not have time for maybe next year after I have graduated because it does sound fun just very time intensive. Instead I am going to do total. And what I am averaging per day (just for funsies) I am aiming to use up 365 for an average of 1 item a day so I’m off to a solid start and this should give me some buffer room in those months I use up less.

What’s In My Trash (A.K.A. An Empties Post) November 2017

nightmareb4

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

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.

Total: 45

What’s In My Trash (A.K.A. An Empties Post) August 2017

nightmareb4

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.
