What’s In My Trash? November 2021

One more month down only one month left to go and I have met both of my goals this year so December gets to be really low pressure which is super awesome.

Skincare (12)

Clinique Take the Day Off Makeup Remover Towelettes I really don’t like these I have learned my lesson about buying multiples of something I have never tried. These are really greasy but also don’t get makeup off easily either and I don’t love that but they don’t irritate my skin so I guess they have that going for them.

Repurchase: No

Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks these are still probably my favorite eye mask for depuffing and making me look alive. Not the most hydrating or cooling but I really like them I don’t always love cold stuff even when my eyes are puffy and gross.

Repurchase: Yes

Clarins Total Eye Lift this was meh I have no real feelings for it.

Repurchase: No

Vitamasques Evening Eye Goggle Mask this was fine I don’t think it is worth $6 it was cute as hell with all the black and the gold stars it was fun and hydrating.

Repurchase: No

Tatcha Indigo Overnight Repair this was literally one use so I can’t say much it didn’t seem special though.

Repurchase: No

Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask this is one of my favorite eye creams I feel like you can see results from it but it isn’t really moisturizing at all so I need to alternate or layer eye creams with this one.

Repurchase: Yes

Acure Incredibly Clear Charcoal Lemonade Facial Scrub I didn’t like this is was really gummy and sticky rather then scrubby. There are hundreds of better scrubs then this.

Repurchase: No

Lord Jones Acid Mantle Repair CBD Moisturizer this was really nice  and a little goes along way so I got way more use out of this tiny tub then I thought I would. This reminds me a lot of Beekman’s Bloom Cream it has that same plumping glowy look and feel but its greasy or over hydrating. I liked it.

Repurchase: Maybe

Beekman 1802 Bloom Cream Probiotic Moisturizer I really like this cream I thought this was more on the heavy side but now comparing it to the Lord Jones one that really reminded me of this this is a lot lighter in texture then that one.

Repurchase: Yes

Global Beauty Care Makeup Cleansing Wipes in Aloe Vera these were fine they were serviceable they weren’t to harsh they stayed wet. They were fine for a $1.

Repurchase: Maybe, I don’t actively buy wipes often

Sephora Waterproof Makeup Remover forever my favorite liquid eye makeup remover it is perfect in my eyes. It doesn’t sting it works really well I love it.

Repurchase: Always

Lap Cos Red Wine Sheet Mask this was slimier than I expected and thicker than I expected but it was a nice sheet mask.

Repurchase: No

Random (3)

FCS OCD Hand Sanitizer in Here Lies… this smelled like fall it was super fun and great.

Repurchase: Yes

Dove Even Tone in Calming Breeze I didn’t particularly like this. I don’t feel like it did any tone evening and I didn’t like the scent. It also had an odd sticky texture.

Repurchase: No

Sigma Sigmagic Brushampoo this is a really good brush shampoo I just don’t prefer liquid brush soap I feel like I always ended up using so much more than I would with bar soap.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (4)

FCS Whipped Soap in Shadow Man this was fine I just don’t care for this format of soap I don’t want to have to dig my hand into a jar of soap to use it I prefer a pump soap or a bar soap.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Bar Soap in Invitation Only so this was a super cute fun concept but execution not so much the thing about brown soap is that it makes the water run brown which is kinda gross. It smelled like chocolate though!

Repurchase: No

FCS Speakeasy Room Spray this was not my most favorite scent but it is a quality room spray.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Pumpkin Pecan Waffle this was a nice bakery scent not my favorite but it was fine.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (3)

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara this is a great mascara probably in my top ten not my most favorite ever but a good solid reliable choice. It wears well it has a great brush it gives a lot of curl and volume. It is a wetter formula and I just prefer a drier formula but a solid choice.

Repurchase: Yes

Jd Glow Cosmetics Metallic Gel Liner in Candy Paint I loved this for a long time I really love the JD glow liners this metallic red has now changed color to be more like an orange so

it is past its prime that is a good way to know when something has gone off. So I got 4 years of use out of this liquid liner so that is really fantastic and I am pleased with that.

Repurchase: Yes

L’oreal Bambi Oversized Eye in 408 Intense Black* I didn’t like this it is a really wet formula and I found it really clumpy and gloopy on my eyes I really got a lot of that spider legs effect that I do not like. I also had to like blink my eyelashes on to my finger excessively to get off a lot of the goop so it wouldn’t smear every wear and I am just not here for that.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (2)

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Body Gel Cream this was like a sleeper hit I had not idea I was going to like this so much. I bought it because it was cheap and I needed it to get to a certain amount to get a gift with purchase I really wanted and was so surprised with how good this was. It is really light but really feel like a drink of water for your skin it had a really nice light watery light floral scent that I really liked it had a nice pump and a ton of lotion for a really low price this was great. I have really enjoyed the Hydro Boost line a lot.

Repurchase: Yes

FCS Lotion Bar in Do Go On…  this was awful for me. It was really sticky and thick and waxy and not a pleasurable experience to put on. Luckily it was small and I was able to use it up in minimal uses. The only places that it sorta worked for me was like on my knees and elbows because it was sorta like a balm on that tougher skin but still not for.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (4)

Tree Hut Shave Oil in Coconut Lime this I love and will always repurchase. I get such a close shave my legs always feel so silky and oiled in a good way after. This is my second choice scent I prefer the Vanilla one but I haven’t seen it in stock anywhere in like more than 6 months.

Repurchase: Yes

Dr. Teals Pure Epsom Salt in Glow & Radiance these are good soaks and they are cheap so you can really load up your bath to get the full Epsom salt effect with out feeling like you are wasting money.

Repurchase: Yes

Basin Sugar Scrub in Satsuma I love these scrubs they are great I think next time I might try a different scent. These scrubs last me a really long time so I almost don’t mind the price. This is a nice orange scent and I love it.

Repurchase: Yes

Lush Yog Nog Bubble Bar this was fun the scent has kinda faded since I kept it for so long but the bubbles were still great I find that like a child I will sit in the bath longer if there are bubbles and then I can actually get the effects of soaking in an Epsom salt bath. This really stained my tub though which was not super great.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (1)

Juicy Couture Oui Glow I have been targeting this for like 2 or 3 months but I did not realize I was close to finishing this and that came as a nice surprise. I like this a lot it is really light I think I like the scent of this one more than the original Oui but I got way more compliments on the original Oui.

Repurchase: Maybe

Haircare (11)

Eva Nyc Mane Magic 10-in-1 Primer I like this primer spray a lot its nice it gets the job done in adding some moisture and smoothness to my hair its fine. I don’t love it or hair it.

Repurchase: I would use it again but I would be more inclined to try something new

Drybar On the Rocks Shampoo

Drybar On the Rocks Conditioner

These did not work for me the shampoo was not clarifying enough and the conditioner was far to lightweight for my dry hair.  But is you oily hair that you don’t use a lot of styling products on this might be for you.

Repurchase: No

The Seaweed Bath Co. Hydrating Shampoo in Eucalyptus & Peppermint

The Seaweed Bath Co. Hydrating Conditioner in Eucalyptus & Peppermint

These were odd. The shampoo was so thing and the scents were nonexistent but the conditioner was pretty average. It was also weird my hair dried so much faster after using this which was very interesting but it did leave my hair quite puffy and not very soft and smooth.

Repurchase: No

FCS Brave Wee Lassie Detangler I didn’t love this scent but as a detangler it is good I use them.

Repurchase: No

Klorane Anti-Pollution Purifying Mist I really liked this it is an incredibly niche product that most people probably don’t need and don’t need often but it is really cool. It helps take scents out of your hair particularly smoke or cooking type smells and as some one who tries to wash their hair as little as possible it is helpful to have something like this around that takes scent out of hair when my hair isn’t actually dirty. This is minty and has a nice minty freshness to it but not in a toothpaste way but that fades with in 15 minutes and my hair just smells like hair after that.

Repurchase: Maybe

Christophe Robin Cleansing Purifying Scrub with Salt I like this as a scalp scrub when I have build up and it does lather pretty nicely and it  gets the job done but it leaves my hair so so dry no matter what I do. I have tried. I think I may have to revisit it this later and try some other scrubs for awhile.

Repurchase: I don’t know

FCS Argan Hair Shine Serum in Permed & Teased I love these argan shine serums they are probably top 5 of hair oils for me I will always grab for them even when I have others on deck they work well for moisturizing my hair.

Repurchase: Yes

Rahua Classic Shampoo

Rahua Classic Conditioner

I have been using all these little samples this month to use them up while I am actively trying to fade dye out of my hair and boy was this an experience. I haven’t used a sulfated non color safe shampoo in more then 8 or 9 years and I had totally forgotten what it was like. It really lathered and foamed. It did drain color out of my hair which was wild after so long. It also left my hair feeling cheap which I know is a weird way to explain it but it felt like I had used cheap shampoo and conditioner.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (5)

FCS Leave-In Conditioner in Ghost with the Most I really like these leave-ins but this scent I just couldn’t it was very strong and heavy and old floral to me and it lingered in my hair overnight and I could still smell it all day the next day and I could not deal with the scent so I will have to pass this on.

Sundari Chamomile Eye Oil I used about half this bottle over a decent period of time like 4ish weeks maybe a little more and I don’t feel like it did a single thing I don’t love putting oil under my eyes it feels weird.

Exuviance Resurfacing Glycolic Wash I tried I wanted to see what this really fancy expensive face wash would be about but I just can’t get down with a foaming face wash. I am giving this to my gf this is way more her jam then mine. I found this a little stingy on my skin as well.

Amore Pacific Treatment Enzyme Peel Cleansing Powder (x2) I was doing a reorganization and pulled these out thinking I would try one and then I realized these are powder cleansers you mix yourself and I hate that so I will be passing these along.


I am really happy with how my empties have gone this year. I have used alot of things I haven’t enjoyed so much but I feel like that has made it easier to know what I like and don’t like and stop buying so much random stuff.

What’s In My Trash? October 2021

This was a really good month I feel like this years challenge is turning around for me and it is looking more like I might reach my goals so exciting.

Skincare (14)

Ulta Beauty Merry Marshmallow Moisturizing Mud Mask well this has at least 2 uses in it which is good value for the money. I don’t love mud/clay masks anymore because they are super hard to remove and I don’t love that for my skin but this was very comfortable and really nice and it did make my skin feel soft and nice.

Repurchase: Maybe

Milani Green Goddess Makeup Melter I didn’t love this it didn’t break down or emulsify well. It didn’t get makeup off really well I like balms for being able to really easily break down tough makeup and this just didn’t provide that for me and it isn’t a savings compared to the Clinique one I love. This is $14.49 for 45g or 32 cents a gram, Clinique is $34 for 108g or 31 cents a gram.

Repurchase: No

Sunday Riley Tidal Cream I love this cream it is moisturizing but also active and brightening it is just so freaking expensive so I won’t buy it I’ll just continue to use little samples.

Repurchase: No

Acure Brightening Under Eye Supergreens Hydrogels these were nice. They were cooling they stayed on really well even while I did stuff which is great. They weren’t the most hydrating but they felt really nice.

Repurchase: Maybe

Neutrogena Stubborn Blackheads Daily Serum (x2) this was very harsh and stung a little it was effective but not as effective as the Tula So poreless scrub that I liked.

Repurchase: No

Oh K! Pore Refining Nose Strips hated these they were so hard to get to stick they didn’t pull anything out of my pores and they left weird white residue on my face.

Repurchase: No

Mad Hippie Vitamin A Serum I mean this was a once time use thing that I just used up because I had it on hand I expected this to be liquid but it is more of a cream and I don’t think that it would be worth the price.

Repurchase: No

Dr. Dennis Gross Ferulic + Retinol Wrinkle Recovery Peel I didn’t have enough of this so see any results but I feel like I would like it my skin felt nice it wasn’t to sticky or irritating.

Repurchase: Maybe

Acure Ultra Hydrating Watermelon Seed Oil I love a good face oil and a little of this went a really long way. I thought I would love this because I love a lot of watermelon based skincare I tried but I only liked this I much prefer a lot of other oils I have tried.

Repurchase: No

Urban Decay Quick Fix Hydra Charged Complexion Prep Priming Spray I love this spray a lot but the spray on this travel size bottle is not as good as the spray on the full size bottle. I am currently testing what might be a really good dupe for this for substantially less month so stay tuned.

Repurchase: Maybe

FCS Who Are You Charcoal Face Mask this was not my thing. It was way way to scented and a lot like flowers and grass. I also don’t like masks like this that dry super hard and really need to be scrubbed off.

Repurchase: No

MidFlower Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Sheet Mask this was great really hydrating and really made my skin feel really nice after a very long rough drying skin days.

Repurchase: Maybe

Goldfaden MD Pure Start Gentle Detoxifying Facial Cleanser I love this brand and it was a perfectly great cleanser but I would never shell out the money for an expensive cleanser.

Repurchase: No

Random (3)

FCS Veggie Protein Deodorant in Desert Oasis I love these veggie deodorants I also really like having natural deodorants on hand to use when I am just hanging around not doing much. But I also don’t actively seek them out.

Repurchase: Yes, the scent of this one was not my jam.

Dove Go Fresh in Apple and White Tea I really liked this the scent was nice. I enjoyed it.

Repurchase: Yes

Sweet & Shimmer Face and Body Mini Wipes in Berry Pretty I love these I get them every year for super cheap at Ulta and sue them for swatches and whatever all year long the scents are great and the mini size is also really good for swatches.

Repurchase: Yes

Home Scents (7)

Bath and Body Works Single Wick Candle in Suntan one of my favorite scents I will buy this forever. It smells like summer and suntan lotion.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Hot Cocoa and Cream Fine Fragrance Mist I always use these as room sprays they don’t last a super long time but you can get a million uses out of them they aren’t too strong and this is like one of my most favorite scents so I love using it.

Repurchase: Yes

Natural Pure Honest Candle in Always Victorious this was fine it was an alright scent with a modest scent throw.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Wax Tart in Strange & Unusual this had no scent throw.

Repurchase: No

Geeky Girl Scents Candle in Midnight Dreary this was a nice Halloween/graveyard scented candle. Did not have a long burn time but it was really nice.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Blueberry Sugar I don’t know why but this had like no scent throw, and I normally love Blueberry Sugar as a scent I don’t know maybe this one was defective.

Repurchase: No

Vitabath Fragrance Mist in Lavender Chamomile I used this as a linen spray it was fine the chamomile really cut the lavender to make it more bearable for me.

Repurchase: Maybe

Lip (2)

Burt’s Bees Lip Balm in Honey this was great I liked this I would try more of these for sure. I love that this didn’t melt in my car over the summer.

Repurchase: Yes

Burt’s Bees Moisturizing Lip Mask this was pretty meh it didn’t stay on great it didn’t taste terrible but it didn’t taste great either and it didn’t do much either. It was more oily then hydrating.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (3)

Laura Mercier Caviar Stick in Grey Pearl I really enjoy these, they are creamy last well look pretty easy to apply I am going to miss this but also I have so many shadow sticks and use them not super frequently so I am not in a rush to purchase again. This was a nice pretty light grey very shimmery.

Repurchase: Maybe

Nyx Strictly Vinyl Eyeliner in Hazy this was a really interesting shade of burnt red. I really liked it they don’t make it anymore. Nyx does have the habit of discontinuing things really frequently.

Repurchase: No

Primark Liquid Eyeliner this came from a random Primark Beauty Advent calendar that I literally picked up for like $3 dollars on clearance and this liner was so awesome. So black and smooth and easy to use and didn’t smudge. I would buy it if I found it.

Repurchase: Yes

Lotion (1)

FCS PJP Body Frosting I love the body frostings a lot they melt down into like a dry oil but I prefer them in the summer even though the websites says they are more for summer use. So I won’t probably use another one up until next year but well see. This is a nice lemon lime fruity scent it is a classic from them and I love it.

Repurchase: Yes

Bodycare (4)

Dove Exfoliating Body Polish in Pomegranate Seeds & Shea Butter they must have changed the formula from the original unscented one I tried because this was so so good and so much better. It had lots of really fine gritty bits so my skin felt so so smooth and polished and the pomegranate scent was great.

Repurchase: 100% will get this to have in my stash

FCS Salt Scrub in Midnight Margaritas this was a really great scrub with a really great scent I loved how gritty this was.

Repurchase: Yes

JR Watkins Creamy Body Wash in Sleep this was kinda terrible I needed a lot to get a good foamy lather going it was very creamy but not super great. It didn’t leave my skin feeling soft or moisturizer either not worth it.

Repurchase: No

FCS Walnut Scrub in Swankified this smells great but it isn’t gritty enough for body but too gritty for my face sorta sad when a product I love just doesn’t work for me anymore.

Repurchase: No ☹

Perfume (3)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Perfume Oil I wish I knew what scent this was because I loved it was so sweet and good and just all they shit I love.

Repurchase: I would If I could figure out what it was

FCS Lifetime Supply Perfume I loved this scent from them and the bottle was really nice even though it was very simple. I would love for them to bring this scent back.

Repurchase: Yes

FCS Fine Fragrance Mist in Birthday Wishes this was generally just sweet but light and not long lasting not what I am looking for in my perfumes.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (3)

Not Your Mother’s Royal Honey & Kalahari Desert Melon Refreshing Dry Shampoo I didn’t care for this it wasn’t great I wasn’t into the scent I didn’t love how it made my hair feel I suffered through it in kinda spurts I’d use it and then put it away for awhile. I brough it back out and didn’t realize it only had like 2 uses left in it so I was happy to have it go.

Repurchase: No

Matrix Biolage All-In-One Coconut Infusion Multi-Benefit Spray this is one of those sprays that are just supposed to do it all. It was fine but it wasn’t as good as the One United from Redken or even the Mane Magic from Eva Nyc. The coconut scent also was very perfumey which I didn’t love it worked fine. It wasn’t moist enough for my dry hair but if you have less dry hair this might be a benefit to you.

Repurchase: No

Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo in Coconut Colada (not picture it has disappeared) I love the Drybar dry shampoo the coconut scent was fun but I would probably buy the original scent over this scent.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (3)

Lancome Drama Liqui-Pencil in Cote d’Azure this was so gunky and would not go on smooth it just kept clumping up in places on my eye not good. Pretty color but not functional.

Marc Anthony Strictly Curls Curl Defining Lotion Humidity Shield I held on to this for awhile because what if I wanted to try to style my hair curly but I don’t know what dream land I was living in because I have never once done that or ever had the desire to try that so I am letting this go so someone else can have it and use it.

Ouai Medium Hair Conditioner this is a nice conditioner but I can’t stand the smell it is very heavy very perfumey and I didn’t like the scent at all and it lasted on my hair for days I couldn’t get rid of the scent and it gave me headaches. If you love a fragrant conditioner and you like the scent get this you’ll be happy but it is not a scent I can live with so it has to go.


I need just about $404 dollars over the next two months to reach my goal let’s see that feels really doable. I did just open alot of new products but I’m also on the last legs or half done with quite alot of products so that feels like it could happen. I also in need to use 47 more items so like that is definitely possible.

What’s In My Trash? April 2021

I finally caught up to where I need to be to be on track for meeting my goals! Hurray! I used up a whole heck of a lot this month so grab a drink and a snack.

Skincare (14)

Patchology Mega Moisture Sheet Mask this felt so nice on. My skin was so tired and dry from me having a sinus cold and this was just so soothing and moisturizing and maybe me skin and face just feel so much better.

Repurchase: Maybe

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant I just don’t like this it is too messy.

Repurchase: No

Tony Moly Peach Punch Sweet Foam Cleanser this was what every smelled like peach really nothing to say here. It would probably be a fun face wash for a kid.

Repurchase: No

Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Recovery spf 50 (not pictured) this was really thick and sticky but it didn’t irritate my skin. I found that it was not water and sweat proof so this is not great for being outdoors or swimming in hot weather.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Rejuvenating Facial Oil in Southern Belle this was way to greasy for my face so I used it up on my neck and chest. I like having stuff for my neck and chest but rarely want to buy something for that purpose. This was fine but I would not recommend due to how greasy it was.

Repurchase: No

Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel this was fine it was just a face wash it washed  my face well and was gentle but effective but the price makes me balk even though a little goes a long way and per use it is like 16 cents which isn’t that bad I just can’t.

Repurchase: No

Juice Beauty Prebiotix Instant Flash Facial this was nice I loved that you did it on wet skin so I was able to use it in the shower. It did some light exfoliation but I am looking for more then this was providing my skin. If you very much need an in shower chemical exfoliator this might be for you though I haven’t really found too many other in shower ones.

Repurchase: No

Dermalogica Precleanse this was not great it did not remove my makeup as well as other oil cleansers or balms that I like.

Repurchase: No

Ole Henriksen Transforming Almond Facial Polish this was terrible it stung my skin and was really harsh.

Repurchase: No

CVS Adapalene Gel I don’t feel like this did anything to help my skin. I have been curious about adapalene but it did not help my break outs. I think it may have help pore size a bit but not that much.

Repurchase: No

Glamglow Dream Duo Overnight Transforming Treatment well this two step treatment felt really nice on but I don’t know that it did anything I used it for like 4 or 5 days. Felt nice was a fun experience to put on the two steps since one was a pretty iridescent one and the other was dark grey but blended into clear. They don’t make this anymore so it doesn’t really matter.

Repurchase: No

Beekman 1802 Bloom Cream Probiotic Moisturizer this I love it makes m y skin look and feel so glowy and healthy.

Repurchase: Yes

Beekman 1802 Golden Booster Amla Berry Vitamin C Serum I tried this mixed in with the cream like you are supposed to but I didn’t like how it mixed it it kinda wouldn’t mix in evenly. So I don’t feel like it I have a good feeling on it. I have about one to try that I am going to put directly on my skni how I like to use my Vitamin C.

Repurchase: No

Beekman 1802 Dream Booster Bakuchiol Beta-Retinol Serum I do like this I feel like the results are a lot slower then they are with a non-beta retinol but it is much gentler.

Repurchase: No

Random (4)

Assured Hand Sanitizer in Lavender I don’t like Lavender that much. When hand sanitizer was so hard to get, I would have been so thrilled to have this but from an actual quality stand point this was really thin and it would splurt out so much so fast.

Repurchase: No

Dove Go Fresh in Revive this was fine I like how smooth it is and it smelled nice. Not my favorite like the degree is but these were on sale.

Repurchase: Maybe

Sweet & Shimmer Face and Body Mini Wipes in Merry Mint I love these for swatches they smell nice they work well and they are small.

Repurchase: Yes

Aquaphor Ointment I love Aquaphor I use it for so many things. Lip balm abrasions chafed skin just everything.

Repurchase: Yes

Home Scents (7)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Wax Tart in The Dark Sea this was fine it was a pretty color scent and throw was unimpressive.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Wax Well Begun is Half Done Linen Spray I loved this I don’t really know what the scent was but it was such a comforting scent to have on my sheets and pillows. I will miss this.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Single Wick Candle in Orange Zest + Sea Spray this had no scent throw so sad.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Fine Fragrance Mist in Salted Caramel Apricot I always use these as room scents, they last a long time I like that the scents are more complicated than you can usually get in a room scent. The also aren’t as strong which I also like a lot of the time. This was nice it was way more caramel than apricot which was disappointing but it did the job.

Repurchase: No

Little Egg Harbour Soap in Coconut this was ok it was soap it wasn’t drying.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Cinnamon Caramel Swirl this smelled so yummy and had a good throw but the last 25% of if really lost a lot of its scent. It always bugs me how hit or miss Bath and Body Works stuff is.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bath and Body Works Scentportable in Winter Candy Apple I don’t love this scent but I had it so I used it. I just got a new car and the scentportables don’t really fit in my air vent as well so I probably won’t buy more of these.

Repurchase: No

Lip (2)

Malin + Goetz Mojito Lip Balm this was very very thick and glossy and a sticky. It also wasn’t very hydrating it smelled and tasted nice and I do like the feeling of a really thick balm that stays on my lips but this didn’t do anything. It was a great sensory experience but it didn’t do anything for my lips which is more the point.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Kiss Lip Scrub this was great perfect texture I love the Kiss scent/flavor I wish the Peter Pan collections of scents would be permanent.

Repurchase: Yes

Makeup (1)

Hourglass Caution Extreme Lash Mascara this was so so so good. It made my lashes look amazing and it does not smudge of flake at all. The only really downside are the price is $29 which is ridiculous and that it was very very hard to take off it is full waterproof. No matter how many times I cleansed I would still find it on my lashes the next day.

Repurchase: Yes

Lotion (2)

Bath and Body Works Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Body Cream I really enjoyed this and I am pretty sure its been discontinued like every good product they have. This had like an oceany sea minerals scent and it was really hydrating and very smooth. A bit sticky but I find that with all hyaluronic acid products so I can’t fault it for that. I am sad that this is a discontinued product for sure. I am glad I cut this open because there had to be at least half to three quarters of an oz of product left which is a lot with a 2.5 oz product.

Repurchase: I would

Sudsy Duck Soapery Lotion in Memphis so I kinda hated this the packaging was awful the plastic is so thick and hard that I couldn’t squeeze it to get the lotion out easily. Then the lotion would come out like a giant blob and it had a weird consistency some how thick but almost watery at the same time. I also felt I needed to reapply quickly so I went through this bottle really fast.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (5)

Nair Leg Mask ehhh this did work, you have to leave it on for like 20 minutes not 5 like the package says but you just need so much product to get a good layer and it takes so long that it just is so much more inconvenient then shaving.

Repurchase: No

Lush Shower Gel in Snow Fairy this actually started turning the color and the scent and the texture all started to change so this was really my last chance to finish it up. Like if I hadn’t finished it this week I would have had to throw it out either way. I like snow fairy a lot as a scent it is so sweet and delicious. I think I actually would rather have the spray then the body wash having fully finished the two items. The spray just has more uses for me. I find Lush shower gels to be so thick and a bit harder to use then others so I don’t know if I would want it again.

Repurchase: No

FCS Be a Pineapple Shower Oil this was great I love body oils after showers and this smelled like pineapples.

Repurchase: Yes

FCS Bath & Shower Gel Hunny Pot this was so great it smelled like honey it was adorable I didn’t love that the consistency was like honey but also it was very cute that it was like that.

Repurchase: No, but I loved it

Skintimate 2 in 1 Shave Cream & Skin Conditioner this was truly terrible don’t buy this. First of all the package is impossible to use it squishy in the middle but hard on the top and bottom so you can’t use all the product with out cutting it open and its so crappy I was not going to bother doing that. It also rinsed off really fast but still gunked up my razor and didn’t give me the best shave.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (2)

Juicy Couture Oui this was such an unexpected empty I haven’t been targeting it for that long maybe 2 or 3 months and then just one day it was empty. I really liked this scent it was really light but nice and I got lots of compliments on it.

Repurchase: Eventually

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Perfume viva isn’t one of my most favorites but it is nice in small doses.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (2)

Briogeo Be Gentle Be Kind Avocado + Kiwi Mega Moisture Superfood Mask once again Briogeo just doesn’t do it for me. It didn’t do enough to add moisture to my hair. And I needed this whole tube and it still wasn’t enough to coat all my hair.

Repurchase: No

Bed Head Control Freak Extra Extra Straight this is like an “instant” hair straightener. It kinda works like that but not really. It more like takes does all the frizz and helps the hair look smoother and like I blowdried it rather than letting it air dry. If I use too much of this it makes my hair look stringy though less is more with this. I have another bottle of this but I don’t know if I will rebuy this I just don’t use products like this as much as I used to so I just don’t know if it is for me anymore.

Repurchase: I don’t know

Declutter (5)

Winky Lux Eyebrow Pencil this is a very thick eye brow pencil and I just really don’t like that or eyebrow pencils in general. The packaging is cute as heck though. This is a product that Winky Lux doesn’t make any more.

Physician’s Formula Magic Mosaic Multi-Colored Custom Bronzer in Light Bronzer/Bronzer I couldn’t even tell you why or when I got this. But because of the ombre effect the effect on the skin was usually patchy and hard to work with. Also, the packaging is just so bulky and annoying it does not need to be that way. It is so thick and heavy and then to top it off the lid is domed so you can’t even stack it nicely.

Acnomel Acne Cream this just did nothing for my skin. And the texture was really gritty and matte feeling and did not play well with any of my other skin care and was super hard to integrate into my routine. Since it did nothing to help my acne I’m just gona let it go.

The Organic Pharmacy Lip & Eye Cream this was so thick and sticky and impossible to blend into my under eyes. I got this in an Ipsy years ago and its just moved around and I thought I could use it up as a travel eye crem but I can’t I hate it.

Qveen Studio Dragonliner Liquid this is so smudgey hard to work with and just smears off my face after an hour with out me really doing anything crazy just from blinking. This formula sucks it’s a shame the packaging is cute but I don’t have time for crappy liquid eyeliner.


The weather is getting so warm and things are starting to just feel better all around so hopefully good things will be coming but optimism scares me lol. It was a pretty good month though.
