What’s In My Trash? January 2020

nightmareb4

First month down. The challenge I set for my self of using up $3,500 dollars mean that I need to use up $292 dollars of product every month and I smashed it this month which hurray because it take a little pressure off next month. So lets get into it there’s alot here to talk about.

Skincare (17)

111 Skin Space Defense Bright Eye Lift Gel this isn’t even a full size and was worth almost a hundred dollars. I don’t think it was worth it. It took a long time of use to see any kind of lifting and it wasn’t dramatic. I have tried much cheaper eye creams that looked and felt like they were doing something. It was also not very hydrating. I liked that it was a gel and was really smooth and easy to put on but like no this was so not worth the price. I got this in Ipsy so I paid like $2 for it so it was worth that but I would never suggest anyone buy this it isn’t worth it.

Repurchase: No

Soo Ae Donkey Milk Skin Gel Mask these masks are nice they are hydrating and comfortable.

Repurchase: Maybe

SK-II Facial Treatment Mask I didn’t really like this at all. It was a very thick sturdy mask which was nice and everything fully absorbed into my skin but it left my skin feeling really dry and I didn’t like that. Also this is $17 dollars wtf.

Repurchase: No

Lumene Pure Arctic Miracle 3-in-1  Micellar Cleansing Water this was awful it burned my eyes and was awful feeling on my face. Terrible.

Repurchase: Never, I would never use this again

Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask not my favorite mask it is drying and hard to remove but it help clear up my skin under the right circumstances. For a clearing mask I much prefer the Body Shop tea tree one so I would get that not this.

Repurchase: No

Garnier Skinactive Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 Cleanser & Waterproof Makeup Remover I hated this I felt like it left my skin greasy and stung my eyes. I used if up mostly for cleaning thing off and getting makeup spots out.

Repurchase: No

NuFace Prep-n-Glow Dual Sided Cloth these are great I love them they are exfoliating one side and the just softer on the other side. They feel nice my skin likes them but they are expensive so I don’t use them often. I also think that if I used them all the time they would be a bit rough on my skin over time.

Repurchase: Yes

Aphrodite Olive Oil Deep Cleansing Face Mask I didn’t love this it left my face feeling fine but I don’t really think it did much deep cleaning but it wasn’t drying like most purifying masks are.

Repurchase: No

L’oreal Pure-Sugar Scrub Purify & Unclog I hated this so much. I love the masks from this line so I thought I would love the face scrub but it was awful. It had like kiwi seeds in it that served no purpose other than aesthetics and making a messy. It did not scrub well and left my face just feeling weird. I just ended up using it up as a body scrub to be done with it because it did not favors for my face.

Repurchase: No

Garnier Skinactive Refreshing Remover Face Wipes these are my favorite wipes I like them for cleaning up fall out or just wiping my face if it feels grimey. Stuff like that. I don’t ever use them to actually remove my makeup. They are soft and they don’t irritate my skin at all they don’t smell like alcohol or a ton of perfume I like them.

Repurchase: Yes

The Inkey List Vitamin C Cream this wasn’t that good it was really thick and almost gritty on my skin and it did not play well with a lot of my other skincare it would pill up under most things. It was ok as a vitamin c but I have used much more effective ones I tried this because it was new and affordable at Sephora but I wasn’t impressed.

Repurchase: No

Deoproce Strawberry Yogurt Clean & Moisture Massage Cream this I hated an tried so many ways to use it up before I just down graded it to a shitty body moisturizer to use it up. I wanted to use it up before the end of 2019 and I failed so I have to settle for using it up now in the beginning of Jan. This was supposed to be like a cross between a cold cream makeup removed and a cream yogurt moisturizing face mask. It worked as neither for me it wouldn’t take makeup off or even make my face clean. If I tried it as a face mask it left my face feeling coasted and gross. I used it up as like a body lotion before bed and it kinda left me feeling slimey while moisturizing. Hated it.

Repurchase: No

Leaders Pore-Scaling Black Aqua my skin has been really dull and breaking out a lot with all the weather changes holiday makeup the heat breaking in my house and putting my skin through hell so I thought this would be a good mask to try it is supposed to clean pores and make skin brighter. The mask was black and I like black sheet masks they speak to my aesthetic this didn’t have a lot of extra serum in the pack just enough to rub onto my chest and it was a but sticky. It fairly well on my face. Left me feeling type but also hydrated.

Repurchase: Maybe

BioBelle #prime Facial Mask this made my face a bit itchy and it didn’t really do anything to help prime my skin for makeup.

Repurchase: No

Biossance Squalane + Phyto-Retinol Serum this sample was really too tiny to see if there were any results it only lasted about a week. I got an entire skincare routine sample set from Sephora with points and am testing out how I feel about using a entire range and so far I don’t like. I had no adverse reactions to this and it felt nice and absorbed well but I don’t think it was doing much I can’t say for certain.

Repurchase: No

Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream keeping with the using one whole line of skincare I have two of these repair creams so I have used one up and subbed in the next one I had. I didn’t really like this it is like a thick barrier cream it almost reminds me of the cream you put on fresh tattoos. I like that it layers well with the other products in this line but it doesn’t really work for my skin. It feels so heavy on my skin that I feel like I am not getting any moisture.

Repurchase: No

L’oreal Revitalift Triple Power Serum + Moiturizer with 2% Vitamin C and 6% Pro-Xylane this was one time use and it is a discontinued product but I came in late after drinking and I needed to be up early so I just used this since it was serum vitamin c and moisturizer all in one. I did really like it too bad it is discontinued. I actually felt like I had done a whole skincare routine.

Repurchase: Can’t

Random (5)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company I Am Iron Man Veggie Protein Deodorant I love the natural deodorants from FCS for when I am just hanging out at home. They are really smooth and feel kinda gel like on I like them. The scent really didn’t come through on this one.

Repurchase: Yes

Cutex Corrector Pen this is a nail polish remover pen I got it for a dollar at the dollar store but it’s a big fail. I use it up but I constantly had to change the tips and then wait for the tip to resoak. I never paint my nails and I suck at it when I do. So I think Q-tips are just easier.

Repurchase: No

Dove Go Fresh Deodorant in Revive Pomegranate & Lemon Verbena this smelled really nice I love both those scents. I liked this.

Repurchase: Yes

Degree Motion Sense Deodorant in Tropical Rush I love the motion sense deodorants they work well. This was a new scent I liked it but it is very strong and very tropical summery. It competed with my perfume a bit so I don’t know. I liked the scent but it was strong for a deodorant I will revisit this in the summer probably.

Repurchase: Maybe

Fortune Cookie Soap Company OCD Hand Sanitizer in Tink! My favorite hand sanitizer and one of my favorite scents this is like an almondy slightly tropically scent that it just yummy and delicious. I have to check my stash but I think this is the last Tink! Scented product I have which is so sad.

Repurchase: Yes

Home Scents (6)

Bath and Body Works Peppermint Brownie Candle this was ok not my favorite it had an ok scent throw but it was like almost confused on who it wanted to be. It wasn’t very chocolatey or very pepperminty.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Cannoli & Chocolate Candle I wish I had bought more of these this was such a nice candle it smelled like chocolate and cannoli cream had a great throw. Loved it so so much so sweet and yummy.

Repurchase: Please come back so I can buy you!

Bath and Body Works Caramel Drizzle Candle this was ok generically sweet but fine.

Repurchase: Eh I don’t know

Bath and Body Works Sugared Snickerdoodle Candle another cookie sweet candle it was fine. Nothing to write home about.

Repurchase: Maybe

Swan Creek Candle Co Drizzle Melts in Vanilla Pound Cake smells like cake I love these. They have great scent throw and a long melt time.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Chocolate Lava Cake loved this so much it made my bathroom smell so chocolatey and warm.

Repurchase: Yes

Lip (2)

Soap & Glory Pout About it Hydrogel Lip Mask (*) this was pretty good for a lip mask it wasn’t drippy but it did hydrate and soothe my lips a lot. It stayed on well and didn’t taste bad. I wish it was a little bit bigger it was like just a tiny bit to small where I felt like the edges of my lips weren’t getting a good seal and the same benefits as the rest of my lips.

Repurchase: Maybe

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Lip Scrub in Everything is Eatable I like their lip scrubs because they are just the gritty bit and I like to use them in the shower. They taste super good too and are effective.

Repurchase: Yes

Makeup (4)

Wet n Wild Megawear Mascara this wasn’t that great I don’t remember where this came from but I know they sell it at the dollar tree. This was lengthening but it kinda gives really clumpy spider lashes if I wasn’t careful. Not that great.

Repurchase: No

Nyx Vivid Brights in Vivid Envy I used to really like these because they were the only affordable and easily accessible colored liquid liners but times have moved on and I can get colored liners in tons of shades affordably and easily now. I liked the brush it was easy to use the problem with these were that they faded on my eyes so quickly and ended up being muddy or dull and changing color. So I would not recommend. This ended up being a dirty green color rather than a bright neon green.

Repurchase: No

Tarte Big Ego Mascara I loved this mascara it was comfortable and really made my lashes looked curled and fluffy. I liked the brush a lot it is a natural bristle in an hourglass shape. Really loved this.

Repurchase: Yes

Physicians Formula #InstaReady Setting Spray this was fine. Nothing really special but it was fine I prefer All nighter though.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (2)

Delectable By Cake Beauty Butter Balm Hand Cream in Triple Citrus Blend I loved the lemony cake scent of this and it was super rich and moisturizing but not too greasy slippy.

Repurchase: Yes

Mickey Mouse Hand Cream in Blackberry I bought this because it had Mickey on it and it was ok it was a nice blackberry scent and it looked adorable on my counter but it was just a generic nothing special  not super hydrating hand lotion.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (3)

Lush Creamy Candy Bath Bomb I like really fragrant bath bombs that really dye the water and this was just not it. The water turned pink but it wasn’t in a fun or impressive way.

Repurchase: No

Lush Body Conditioner in Snow Fairy I used this sample up because I love Snow Fairy scent but I am not super into the body conditioners wet skin moisturizers just aren’t my thing I find them just weird to use it is a personal preference thing. The scent of this lasts on your skin for hours though and I love that.

Repurchase: No

Nature’s Whimsey Sugar Body Scrub in Sugar Cookie this is the kinda scrub I really like where it is almost like a moldable scrubby paste. It also smelled like sugar cookies and was a perfectly pleasant experience. Unfortunately this is from an Etsy seller and it is a little too pricey for a full size 4 oz jars when there are others that I like even more that I can get for less per ounce.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (1)

FCS Perfume Oil I don’t remember what this scent was called but it smelled like raspberries but muskier it was fine. I have so many perfume oils that you have to wow me because they last so damn long I tend to get sick of them before they are all used up.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (3)

Amika Soulfood Nourishing Mask I like this hair mask I have used it before. It leaves my hair feeling soft and healthy. It is pricey for what I would want to spend on a hair mask at $28 but I do really like it and I don’t need a ton of it like I do with other masks. As my stock of hair masks has been diminishing it is time to start thinking about what full size ones I might like to buy and this has potential.

Repurchase: Maybe

Garnier Fructis Smoothing Treat Coconut 1 Min Hair Mask I like these hair masks they are quick and good this coconut one was pretty nice. It does take a lot to cover my hair with this though.

Repurchase: Maybe

Hask Charcoal with Citrus Purifying Dry Shampoo this was a meh dry shampoo it was nice that it did leave any white cast and it smelled nice but it really wasn’t the best as soaking up oils or giving texture. It was just an ok dry shampoo. It is pretty cheap for a lot so in a pinch I could see myself buying this again but it is not going to be my first choice.

Repurchase: Maybe

Declutter (8)

Physicians Formula The Healthy Lip Velvet Liquid Lipstick in Magentile Treatment now I don’t mind this formula it is pretty comfortable even if it isn’t super long lasting. This bright pink is just a shade I’ll never wear. With coupons I was able to grab a 13 shade set with a lip topper of all the shades from this range for $2.22 so even though there was bound to be at least 2 or 3 shades that were not for me it was totally worth it. The liquid lips were also almost full size and the lip topper is full size and exclusive to the set so it was an awesome deal. Hot pink just is not for me.

Physicians Formula The Healthy Lip Velvet Liquid Lipstick in Coral Minerals I don’t like pinky coral colors.

Nyx Lip Lingerie in Silk Indulgent another baby pink kind of color that I will not wear.

Chirality Nail Polish in The Night Runner this is a really pretty multidimensional sparkly polish but it doesn’t look great on my toes and I haven’t had painted fingernails in probably 8 years. So this needs to go.

Sephora Cream Lip Stain in 40 this is like light concealer colored lipstick and it is not for me I don’t like that look. I love this formula though these are some of my favorite liquid lips that I own.

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Solid Perfume in Flash this smells really nice and warm and cinnamony but this is a scent I think I will prefer on my gf so I am going to give this to her and let her wear it for me. She can also get through colognes so much faster than I get through my perfumes and I don’t want this going bad.

Wet n Wild Mega Cushion Foundation in 106a Light Ivory this is just too light for me I was able to get two of these free so I tried two shades and this one is just too light for me. It is an of foundation it is really light which I like but it isn’t the most flattering you really have to work with it so it isn’t something I would repurchase anyway.

Colourpop Ultra Satin Lip in Lock Diary I like the satin formula but this color is just too pink to much too loud for me.

I did really good this month I am really pleased with my empties and it help takes pressure off February which I know won’t be nearly as good.

What’s in My Trash? 2019 Year End Wrap Up

nightmareb4

So mu 2019 goal was to use up 600 products for the whole year just over 1.5 products a day. I did not succeed on that goal I missed it by 32 items so disappointing. I had thought I was doing so well but I guess not.

Final Totals for 2019:

I learned this year that I actually spend less then I thought I did on my beauty products which is good. Just about 29% of the cost of a product is what I spend on average between sales/coupons/gifts/boxes. Which makes me feel pretty damn proud of my deal skills lol.

For the rest of the data I have I broke it down in to categories of products per month, but unfortunately the category data for April got corrupted and lost so all the data that is broken down by category is done out of 11 months excluding the April data I lost. But the Total Data above does include the totals from April that data I did not lose.

Final Totals By Category:

For the purpose of identinfying where I use the most and spend the most I excluded Decluttered items.

I know I use the most skincare up a full third of what I use during the year which I am not shocked by at all.

But I fully did not expect for all the random thing I use to my next biggest category at 12%. I was expecting it to be Home Scents or Perfume to be honest.

I also expected Makeup to be my least used up category certainly not Lip, I feel like I get through at least 12 or more lip products a year but I didn’t think I was using up that much make up I am pretty happy with myself that Makeup isn’t dead last. I also used up so much perfume this year I was surprised it was so low.

I spend the most on Skincare but skincare is expensive and it is worth the investment with how much I get through that seems appropriate just over $200 in a year is hardly excessive.

Uh I spend way to much on candles clearly I need to cool that down it. takes me a long time to get through a candle or a wax melt and I do not need the huge collection I have of them.

I knew I spent the least on Perfumes since I almost never buy perfume for myself they mostly come to me as presents or in boxes so I knew that it would be the thing I spend the least on and will probably always stay that way.

I don’t do that much with my hair so I am surprised I spent that much on hair stuff over the course of the year in products I used. I have been making sure to use treatments and masks more so maybe that made the difference but I don’t know.

This charts just for the funsies of seeing the retail value of what I use some things are so ridiculously over priced at full price its comical and it shows since i rarely spend full price on anything.

This is to help me be better about how much I should be allowing myself to spend each month in each category since that is all I can realistically use up. To be fair I know it won’t change my actual makeup budget but I am going to be better about sticking closer to these numbers for things like candles and lip balms that I don’t use up very fast.

I am not the most proud of how I did this year like i have been in years past. This coming year I want to focus on using alot of my more expensive products rather then saving them for some better rainy day in the future.

So I am making my 2020 goal to use up $3,500 in retail value (not what I spent dear god no) of products. I am not giving myself a month or yearly product totally goal so that maybe I use up some more full size items that will also help add to that value. I already used up an almost $100 eye cream so hey that is a great start to this goal this year. I also really want to pare down my older perfumes a bit so I will be working on some expensive perfumes as well that should help me on my way to $3,500.

Anyone else looking to keep track of their empties? Or anything you were really proud of using up? I was particularly proud of using up my oldest perfume right before it went bad. Comment down below! I love to chat.

What’s In My Trash? November 2019

nightmareb4

I can’t believe it is December and Christmas is in 20 days like where has the time gone.

I don’t have a group shot this month I couldn’t get a nice shot of them it was a mess so oh well.

Skincare (10)

Lancome Genifique Youth Activating Eye Cream this was ok but I used it for nearly a month and didn’t see any “youth activating” so I think there are better eye creams for less.

Repurchase: No

Up & Up Refreshing Wet Cleansing Towelettes these were terrible I kept these as car wipes but they don’t take any makeup up off and they dry out quick. They are soft though.

Repurchase: No

Soo Ae Donkey Milk Skin Gel Mask this is a very wet mask. Like dripping in my eyes wet. Also very thin so while it fits my face well it is not the most comfortable because of how wet and kinda slimy it feels. It is also pretty tacky so it did stay on my face well but I am not the biggest fan. It is moisturizing though did leave my skin tacky. I don’t hate this so much that I won’t use the other 4 I have (where did they all come from I don’t know because I didn’t buy them) but I don’t recommend them.

Repurchase: No

The Body Shop Pomegranate Invigorating Toner I wanted to have a non drying toner but this just left me feeling sticky. It wasn’t drying so I guess it did its job but this is a step I don’t need or want and this was not the product for me.

Repurchase: No

Private Doctor Define Minus Serum this did nothing and a it needed a lot to spread it around.

Repurchase: No

Earth Therapeutics Collagen Cleansing Facial Towelettes I really like these they were gentle and felt nice I think I might like these more then my green Garnier ones but I just opened a new pack of those so we shall see. But these were good. And I loved the packaging because since it had a an actual lid to seal.

Repurchase: Yes

My Clarins Re-Charge Relaxing Sleeping Mask I didn’t like this at all for starters the tube only had two uses and I expect more from Macy’s second this was sticky and did not feel hydrating at all.

Repurchase: No

Double Dare OMG! 2 in 1 Detox Bubbling Microfiber Mask this is a fun mask but it isn’t something I am running to purchase. The bubbling mask leaves my skin feeling like squeaky clean and tight so the second hydrating mask is essential to adding moisture back into the skin.

Repurchase: No

Laneige Water Sleeping Mask this will never be my favorite I don’t like the scent and I don’t feel like it does much I used it up as a neck/chest moisturizer.

Repurchase: No

Dermadoctor Kakadu C Amethyst Clay Detox Mask I love the purple color of this. It is heavily fragranced though it legit smells like purple. It isn’t a bad scent just strong. This is a very drying tightening mask but my skin does look and feel softer and cleaner after I use it. It is expensive so I don’t know that I would invest in it when other cheaper masks also work for detoxing my skin. I had some congestion going on i think from trying the First Aid Beauty face oil I got in Ipsy this month so I used this to try and help get rid of that.

Repurchase: Probably Not

Random (4)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company OCD Hand Sanitizer in Weapon of Choice these are my favorite hand sanitizers I use them pretty much exclusively this one had a bit of a rum scent I loved it it was from a zombie themed collection awhile back.

Repurchase: Yes

Sweet & Shimmer Face and Body Mini Wipes in Frosted Berry these are my favorite for swatches they are cheap smell good and are decently soft for cheap wipes. I pick these up at Ulta every Christmas and use them all year. They have different scents each year but they all smell pretty similar especially the non berry ones.

Repurchase: Yes, It is that time to stock up again.

Degree Motion Sense in Stay Fresh I saw this new citrus Bergamont scent and thought oh I’ll live that I love citrus and bergamont scent but this smelt kinda weird on me and I have another one to get through.

Repurchase: No

Earth Therapeutics Foot Peel not the greatest foot peel. The peeling started like the next day just about but it was a very slow tiny little pieces at a time and not like a deeply penetrating peel only the very surface layer. Not a greatest one but much cheaper than a lot of other ones I have tried.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (4)

Columbia Candle Supply Brow Sugar & Fig Wax Melt I love the wax melts from this company they are really great and I love that they do mystery packs because it is more fun that way. They are cheap and you can get at least 2 or 3 melts out of one ounce so I like them. This was a just generally warm sweet scent.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bath and Body Works Pumpkin Peanut Brittle Candle this was very peanut and a bit caramel I really enjoyed this candle. It had a really good scent throw as well.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Orange Truffle Candle this smelled reasonably good but had a very average scent throw I prefer a stronger scent throw. The orange and the chocolate mixed nicely (shocking really lol) and didn’t smell fake at all but it was just not strong enough for me.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Lemon Mint Leaf Candle this had a good scent throw and was nice and bright and clean and fresh smelling I liked this a lot.

Repurchase: Yes

Makeup (3)

Maybelline Master Precise All Day Liquid Liner in Black this wasn’t that great I found it hard to line my eyes with and get a good flick and I didn’t find it black enough or opaque enough without multiple coats.

Repurchase: No

Too Faced Shadow Insurance Anti-Crease Eye Shadow Primer I really like this it has more color to it than the Urban Decay one and it really holds on to shadow really well. This will probably be the primer I purchase when I next need one.

Repurchase: Yes

Urban Decay Naked Skin Beauty Balm this is unfortunately discontinued which is so fucking sad since this is my favorite foundation every I bought a few of these when they were being discontinued for dirt cheap so I have a stock but I love this it’s the right tone the right color it so light and comfortable on my skin no matter what the weather it and it has the light but blurring type of coverage I look for.

Repurchase: All of them if I could

Lotion (1)

Hempz Toffee Butter Crème Triple Moisture Herbal Whipped Body Crème I like Hempz lotions quite a lot but this one was a miss for me the scent was way to buttery and I don’t go for that type of scent. The lotion quality was good but I would go for a different scent.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (6)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Party Bath Salts in Sprinkles this didn’t have enough scent to it and it kinda dried my skin out a bit. Not a fan.

Repurchase: No

Lush Butterball Bath Bomb this left my skin super soft but it didn’t turn the water colors or smell strongly it was pretty meh.

Repurchase: No

Target Beauty Bergamot & Blood Orange Bath Salts these were unimpressive they didn’t have a lot of scent and they only preformed marginally well at Epsom Salts so I wouldn’t recommend. I grabbed these because they were on sale for 90 cents but they weren’t really worth it.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Aloe-lujah Skin Gel in Free Spirit this had such a nice bright fruity scent that I loved. I don’t love Aloe though I find it a bit drying on my skin. But this is nice for burns and scraps and anything like that. And it does absorb into my skin quickly.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Solid Sugar Scrub in Sugar Rush this is one of those products that I savored every use and tried to make last it was a great body scrub but the scent is want made this so special. It smelled like sweet tarts and was so yummy and strong I loved it and you love to have more in this scent.

Repurchase: Yes

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Body Wash in Regenerate this didn’t have much of a scent and there is some stuck in the bottom I can’t get out but it was fine for a travel body wash wouldn’t recommend it though they have much better body washes.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (1)

Zoella Snow’ella Perfume I am so glad to be done with this. I never liked any of the perfumes in this set they all smelled like Claire’s like little girl perfume. I used this up by every time I used it on myself I also sprayed my sheets with it.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (3)

Shea Moisture Jamacian Black Castor Oil Strengthen & Grow Treatment Masque this is a really nice hair mask it makes my hair feel smooth and strong but it takes a lot of product to coat my hair so I don’t know that I would purchase.

Repurchase: Maybe

Keranique Micro-Exfoliating Follicle Revitalizing Hair Mask this was kinda like a scalp scrub and I really really liked it. It was easy to get through my roots and on my scalp unlike other scalp scrubs I have tried and it felt really nice and invigorating. My scalp felt cleaner and lighter after I really liked this.

Repurchase: Yes

Garnier Fructis Smoothing Treat Avocado 1 Min Hair Mask I have liked the other hair masks I have tried in this like but the Avocado one left my hair feeling a bit dry. I like how easy and quick these masks are and they smell nice. This one was just not for me I prefer the other ones.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (7)

Pretty Vulgar The Ink Gel Eyeliner in 01 Black List ugh this liner I tried so hard to love this because the bottle is so cute looking like a little ink well but liner sucks. It is so smudgey it never sets down and the staying power is terrible. If I am going to go through the trouble of a potted gel liner I want it to be bullet proof. This is also really hard to get out of the bottle since you have to go through a longer thinner neck to the bottle and you can’t see what you are picking up.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Crush this was just too ballerina pink and I couldn’t darken this to a place where I would be willing to wear it. Unfortunate because I love this formula.

Billion Dollar Brows The Microblade Effect Brow Pen in Dark this is supposed to give you hair like strokes in your brows and it does. It takes practice though. This ended up making my brows look much fuller then I like so I am passing it on to a friend it just isnn’t my personal preference for my brows.

La Ritzy Cosmetics Lip Stix in Plum this is one of those things in theory I should have loved this it was easy to apply I loved the color even though it got all over my coffee cup it didn’t slide all over my face and it was comfortable but I was super aware that it was on my mouth like it felt heavy and every time I looked in a mirror I just wanted to wipe it off so this should just go to a better home. With someone who can love it properly.

Luscious Angel Eyes Eyeshadow Primer this is just an average eye primer and I have plenty that I love so I see no need to try and use up one I don’t love since eye primers take years to use up. This is really thick so a little goes a long way and it’s like halfway between translucent or being a color and blanking your lid out and I need it to do one or the other.

Colourpop Crystal Liquid Highlighter in Amber this liquid highlighter would separate and come put chunky as well as look chunky on the skin and slide around this just didn’t really work out for me. Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal in 60 Silver Strike this is super pretty and metallic but I never use it so it can go.

I really wanted to get through more products this month and Dec is starting off slow which isn’t the greatest.
