What’s In My Trash? April 2020

nightmareb4

Day 50+ of quarantine and I am losing my mind. How are you guys all doing? Using up alot of stuff? Online shopping alot? Let me know I am not really doing either unfortunately.

Skincare (10)

Naisture Tea Tree Mask Pack I have zero thoughts about this I waited 1 day to write it down and legit forgot all about it.

Repurchase: No

Manefit Mugwort Astringent + Pore Care Sheet Mask this was good, and it did calm down some of the crazy breakouts I was having so no complaints.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bath and Body Works Keep it Fruity Papaya + Tea  Face Sheet Mask I don’t think they sell this anymore I also don’t feel like it did much it was just a regular sorta refreshing face mask. This was super drippy though so it was dripping in my eyes and that was annoying.

Repurchase: No

Evioskin x Aurora Refreshing Cleansing Hemp Wipes these were really nice as  refreshing and cleansing wipes which is all I really use wipes for. They weren’t good for taking off makeup though. They are pricey for what they are and they are only slightly nicer than my cheaper Gariner wipes.

Repurchase: No

Algenist Genius Sleeping Collagen this was super nice but weird. This really did feel really plumping and my skin look really glowy (borderline greasy some days) and plump and nice but it was not that moisturizing. I don’t know that this has a place in my skincare routine but I also really liked it I am very torn by this product.

Repurchase: Eh

Sunday Riley Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment I do feel like this does something to make my skin just look better when I am using it over but I can’t quite put my finger on what. I also bet that any lactic acid treatment would so I would be more inclined to purchase a less expensive option.

Repurchase: Maybe

Taste Beauty Ooh La Llama Hydrating Face Mask this was a generic hydrating mask one of the cheap ones but it was actually really nice there was quite a lot of serum enough to spread on my neck chest and hands but it did all absorb into my skin. It was a bit cooling and really relaxing.

Repurchase: Yes

Fourth Ray Beauty Acai Face Milk this was purple which I thought was pretty and one of the reasons I picked it up even though that’s kinda stupid. This was thicker and stickier then I expected but it was moisturizing. I don’t know how much pollution protection it did. I would be interested in trying some of the other face milks but I wouldn’t buy this again it didn’t feel like it was doing anything.

Repurchase: No

MyChelle Perfect C PRO Serum 25% L-Ascorbic Acid this was a good Vitamin C serum but I don’t like that it is dyed orange so that you can’t see if it has gone off. It is also really expensive and I have other Vitamin C serums that I like more.

Repurchase: No

Banila Co. Clean it Zero Cleansing Balm Original this was fine but I really don’t like it as much as the Clinique one so I would repurchase that over this every time. It didn’t live up to it’s hype at all.

Repurchase: No

Random (4)

Earth Therapeutics Foot Peel these do their job and I get all the gross peeling and they are cheaper than other foot peel mask.

Repurchase: Yes

Red Vintage Mickey Mouse Pouf I really like these poufs that I picked up when Target did a whole Mickey Mouse collection and I think I am on the last one I bought now and am kinda sad. The little Mickey heads on the ribbon make me happy when I shower and the pouf itself is really sturdy and long lasting. They start off really small but they open up to a perfect size after a few showers.

Repurchase: Yes

Degree MotionSense Dry Spray in Ultraclear I liked this a lot it works just as well as the stick from this line I usually use. It is a bit cold to apply but that might be nice in the summer.

Repurchase: Probably

Fortune Cookie Soap Company OCD Hand Sanitizer in Prepare to Die I loved this one it was a good texture not too thick or to runny it didn’t have glitter in it. It had a good scent and the name was just so perfect for the world situation that we are in right now that I had a good chuckle every time I pulled it out to use.

Repurchase: Yes

Home Scents (6)

Bath and Body Works Foaming Hand Soap in Citrus Sugar Cookie this was great I love foaming soaps they last forever even with all the extra handwashing I have been doing lately. This really smelled like cookies and sweet and a little orangey it was awesome.

Repurchase: Yes

Basin Candle this was a make your own candle thing at the Basin store in Disney and I am a complete sucker for that kinda thing so of course I made one. The scent through was ok. But it burned super super fast and they were pricey when I made them at 2 candles for $24 and I think they have gone up in price. I don’t really recommend them but I probably will make them again when I am in a basin store because you can layer them however you like and make them super pretty.

Repurchase: Yes but these are a total waste of money

Bath and Body Works Fresh Orange Candle this burned super weird on my and like wouldn’t light half way through and I ended up just melting it on my wax melter. It was good it was orangey but I really wanted it to make my room smell like orange groves and oranges and orange juice and all that stuff but it was a pretty mellow experience.

Repurchase: No

Ulta Foaming Hand Soap in Pink Grapefruit loved this loved the scent love foaming soap all great. The only really annoying thing is that as the soap gets really low the shape of the bottle makes it fall over.

Repurchase: Maybe

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Beauty Wax Tart Beauty is such a great scent it has like a candy sweetness but in a very grown up feminine way I just really like love it. The scent throw is really good on the FCS waxes as well. Better than their candles.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Garden Arugula & Verbena Candle I love like garden/dirt type scents in candles but most people don’t so they can be really hard to find. This was from the Test Lab line that I wish they had kept around. This did smell very green and filled the room I loved it.

Repurchase: Yes

Lip (3)

Lipsmacker Perfect Pear I really liked this it was smooth and nice on it was a really good pear flavor and scent not like an artificial one.

Repurchase: Yes

Chapstick in Peaches & Cream this was vaguely sweet vaguely peachy very waxy not the best Chapstick I have ever used.

Repurchase: No

Inc.Redible Jelly Shot Lip Quencher in Ex Revenge I hated this. It actually dried the crap out of my lips once I got down to where the flower in it is the lip balm and chunks of the flower would come off it was really gross. It also felt really weird on my lips I don’t know how to describe it, it was just really weird.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (1)

Covergirl Intensify Me! Liquid Liner in 300 Intense Black this was terrible first of all why is the tip a paddle it doesn’t make it easier to use at all. It wasn’t super black and it never fully dried so if I touched it it would smudge all over.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (3)

Grace & Stella Lavender Lotion this was not that great it is the kinda lotion that left my skin feeling dry ten minutes later and it was sticky when I would put it on.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Sparky Body Frosting I love the body frostings they are so thick but feel like an oil when they melt down they always carry scent really well too. This was a very warm sweet scent with hints of cinnamon.

Repurchase: Yes

Tory Burch Love Relentlessly Lotion I don’t generally like the perfumed lotions that come with perfumes they are really expensive they aren’t super moisturizing and they are so heavily fragrances even more that the perfumes that I find them kinda nauseating. This wasn’t as bad because Love Relentlessly is a pretty light scent. I use stuff like this up on my feet and legs so that its not up by my face and hands where I have to smell it really strongly.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (2)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Milk Shake Bath Milk in Stay Sweet this was alright it wasn’t heavily scented but it really left my skin soft so that was nice.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Bath Bomb in Yellow Snow this did nothing it hardly fizzed it was not good at all. That is a super rare for me to have a total fail from FCS like I’ve had products that are just not things I need or fit with my routine but fails are rare.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (2)

Victoria Secret Bombshell Paradise it smelled like summer I really loved how it smelled but it really didn’t last on the skin I would have to apply at least twice a day if I wanted it to stick around. So I wouldn’t buy it again unless I saw it at one of the semi annual sales for like $5 because it acted more like a body spray than a true perfume.

Repurchase: Probably not unless it was majorly discounted.

Givenchy Very Irresistible Perfume so rose is supposedly one of the notes of this perfume but rose isn’t actually in it if you read the ingredients so I can use it and it doesn’t smell like roses. But it is a very strong intense fancy perfume type of scent and a bit more floral then I would normally wear so while I like it and will use up the samples I have I wouldn’t want to commit to a full size bottle.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (3)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Shine Bright Co Wash this was not a little goes a long way time of product I really needed a lot to coat all my hair. I love the shine bright scent its fruity and a bit champagne-y it was ok but I don’t think it was enough moisture for my drier hair.

Repurchase: No

Marc Anthony Hydrating Coconut Oil Deep Nourishing Conditioning Treatment this used to be my favorite hair mask but this time it left my hair really dry and frizzy and I don’t know that’s about my hair is obviously going through something right now everything has just been weird and off with all this being stuck inside.

Repurchase: Yes

Sun Bum 3 in 1 Leave-In Treatment this isn’t something I would buy but it came into my life for free so I just used it up I expected so much from this coming from a brand that revolves around being out in the sun which can dry out you hair so I was expecting this to make my hair moisturized and glossy and wonderful but all it did was make my hair feel sticky and like I was wearing a hair mask that needed to be washed out. It also smelled like bananas and I hate bananas.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (2)

Pacifica Rich Body Oil in Tuscan Blood Orange this was a fail for me I thought it would be easier to roll on the oil but the process for me was so much more inconvenient then spraying or pouring it into my hand. I also really didn’t like the scent of this it was a really chemically smelling orange instead of a nice smelling orange.

FCS Leave in Conditioner in Ray of Sunshine I just couldn’t with this scent it just smelled off on my and I kept smelling it almost smelled like disinfectant on me. So I am gonna pass this along to some one else to use.

I am ahead of my yearly goal of $3500 in projects which is great. I am super pleased with that. I am also using and trying a bunch of my stuff I wouldn’t normally since I am home and not doing anything.

What’s In My Trash? March 2020

nightmareb4

Happy Quarantine or Self-Isolation or what ever we are calling it now. I have been so so productive my house has never been cleaner I have reorganized closets that I have wanted to organize for over a year. All this to keep myself from going completely stir crazy. How are you all doing? I have also been masking so much since I have the time its nice. I am on track for the year with my goal but this month I actually felt short of the monthly average I need but I was so over the first two months that all is well on that front for now.

Skincare (16)

BioRepublic Green Tea Detox Mask this was nice enough it made my skin feel good and look a little less congested and brighter. Sheet mask are hard because even if they work and are nice so are most of them so unless I love it, I’m not going out of my way to find them.

Repurchase: Eh Maybe

Perricone MD Cold Plasma Plus+ Neck & Chest Broad Spectrum 25 I don’t need a dedicated expensive neck specific cream but it was fine. A bit thick but not awful.

Repurchase: No

Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream this is a fine moisturizer I love how cool and creamy it feels but it is a bit thick for my liking.

Repurchase: No

Ulta Beauty Strawberries & Champagne Hydrating Glitter Peel Off Mask this really did smell like champagne which I wasn’t expecting but the scent dissipated quickly. I really didn’t like this mask at all. There was glitter in it but it was minimal my main problem with this is that it never dried for me to be able to peel it off and it was so sticky and hard to get off. I have had good luck with Ulta mask in the past but this was not good.

Repurchase: No

Yes to Super Blueberries Recharging Greek Yogurt & Probiotics Mud Mask this was so thick and stick I couldn’t even get it spread over my skin.

Repurchase: No

Soo Ae Donkey Milk Skin Gel Mask this is very hydrating and nourishing but also very sticky. I don’t like that overly gelled sticky feeling it leaves on my skin but if you have drier skin this may be great for you. I don’t hate it enough to use up what I have but I would not repurchase:

Repurchase: No

Pacifica Crystal Lit Moon Oil this is supposed to be a guess a rejuvenating oil with lavender and blue tansy but for some reason there’s a ton of glitter in it for no damn reason and it left my skin feeling congested and blue and glittery! I ended up using it as a body oil on my legs and it was pretty and shimmery but definitely not a serious skincare product.

Repurchase: No

Purlisse Watermelon Energizing Marshmallow Peel Off Mask this wasn’t great but it wasn’t terrible either. It was so incredibly sticky that it was hard to spread around on my face to get an even layer. It smelled like watermelon candy which didn’t bother me but it you are sensitive this probably would bother you. For a peel off mask it wasn’t too painful either, but it did have glitter in it which makes this a total no for me. This left my skin looking brighter and feeling softer but also really dry.

Repurchase: No

NuFace Prep-n-Glow Dual Sided Cloth these are my favorite face cloths ever them make my skin feel nice and exfoliated and clean and glowing I really hate how expensive they are so that I end up saving them as special treats.  I’ll use my $10 Macy’s coupon to get the travel size pack for free which is the only way I can bear to buy them at $2 dollars a wipe.

Repurchase: Yes

Strivectin TL Advanced Tightening Neck Cream I didn’t like this it was so thick but not spreadable so it was really hard to rub in which I feel like would be more damaging to your skin over time then helpful.

Repurchase: No

Leaders Pore-Scaling Black Aqua I don’t know that this did that much I just really can’t say. I have a few more so maybe I’ll notice something next time I try.

Repurchase: No

Double Dare OMG! 4 in 1 Kit Zone System Mask my skin needed this the day I used it and I really liked it. It was a multi mask so it came with under eye gels, a charcoal mask for oily spots a kaolin clay mask for the more normal parts of your skin and then a moisture cream to put on after you take the masks off. I really loved it my skin felt a lot smoother and soothed after. The only thing is I can and often do multi mask like this with all the mask I have so this is more convenience over necessity.

Repurchase: Maybe

Yes To Pore Perfection Paper Mask this mask was really small and did nothing. I really don’t love the Yes To line. I have like maybe 3 or 4 items from them left that I just need to use up and get them out.

Repurchase: No

Whole Foods Cotton Cupra Hydrating Coconut Mask this was a very drippy mask which I don’t love. It felt nice on though very cooling and soothing but did absolutely nothing, not even hydration once I took it off.

Repurchase: No

Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask I don’t get this mask it felt cooling and moist but left my skin a bit tight. I don’t understand I feel like this mask was trying to do too much and failed.

Repurchase: No

Dermal Wine Collagen Essence Mask I really liked this it really hydrated and plumped my skin when it was in a dehydrated bad place.

Repurchase: If I saw it somewhere yes

Random (3)

Daylogic Brush Cleanser this wasn’t a great soap it took extra effort to get stains out of brushes.

Repurchase: No

Degree Motion Sense Deodorant Fresh Energy favorite deodorant I I like the scent the feeling and the performance.

Repurchase: Yes

Aquaphor Oinment I love Aquaphor I use it for so many thing lip balm. To heal chaffing or dry spots. For tattoos just an all-time loved product. Life essential.

Repurchase: Always and Forever

Home Scents (5)

Swan Creek Candle Co. Drizzle Melt in Valencia Orange & Grapefruit this is one of my favorite wax brands because they have great scent throw. While the scent on this was so nice and bright and citrusy which I love it wasn’t as strong as their sweeter scents.

Repurchase: Probably not

Bath and Body Works Strawberry Pound Cake Candle this smelled so good but I could hardly smell it while it was burning. I wanted this to be like my strawberry shortcake wonderland smelling dream candle and it just wasn’t.

Repurchase: No, Jar’s cute though

Trader Joe’s Lemon Cookie Scented Candle this was really nice it smelled like iced lemon cookies it was yummy it burned along time for such a small candle I don’t like that there was so much wax left in the bottom and on the sides I like for candles to burn a bit cleaner than this one did but for $4 it was good.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Fresh Orange this was a nice orange scent but it was one of the wallflowers that isn’t as strong and I prefer the really strongly scented ones.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Blackcurrant Vanilla Candle this is a much more fancy sexy scent then I would normally burn but I really really enjoyed it. Normally I would have been disappointed in the scent throw of this one but since it was such a strong dominate scent the weaker scent through worked in its favor. I also really like the jar it came in the frosted purple glass is super pretty.

Repurchase: Maybe

Lip (3)

Lipsmacker Mickey Mouse Ch-ear-ful Cherry I liked the cherry flavor of this but it was very very read and really was messy looking on my lips. Some Lipsmackers are really waxy and some are smooth this was one of the smooth ones and I appreciated that. I got a whole pack of different flavors when Target had that Mickey Mouse collection.

Repurchase: No

Laniege Lip Sleeping Mask in Vanilla I like these and they are very hydrating in that more thick gel type of way but they are not life changing. I did not like this flavor as much as the previous flavors I have tried it was kinda bland.

Repurchase: No

Skyn Iceland Berry Lip Fix this is one of those things that I loved when I had a sample of but the full size didn’t live up to how much I liked it in the smaller size. You could kinda feel taste the berry and the texture more in the small size the full size was more smooth as well as being more sloppy to apply since more would come out of the bigger applicator.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (3)

Urban Decay 24/7 Slide On Glide On Eyeliner in LSD I love these liners but LSD is just not the liner for me. It was always a drier formula because of the glitter and it has completely gotten to dry too use now. It was too dark of a blackened blue for me and I wasn’t super fond of the glitter. They are great liners in general though.

Repurchase: No

Mac Eyebrows in Spiked they have since repackaged this to have a spoolie which is great it was pretty annoying that this didn’t have one. This is a really stiff non retractable pencil and it took me awhile to get used to if but I think I like it better than a softer pencil. I am using a softer pencil now but we shall see. This color was a bit to warm for me I would try a darker cooler shade probably Stud if I bought it again.

Repurchase: Maybe

Fenty Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch Primer this was nothing special as a primer it was pretty sticky so it held on to my foundation well. But it didn’t blur or fill pores or hydrate or anything I would want it to do.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (1)

Hempz Candy Cane Crush Triple Moisture Herbal Whipped Body Crème this was not as thick as the other lotions that had come in this scent. It was more mint then candy cane which was really refreshing. It wasn’t that great though I felt like ten minutes after I put it on I needed to reapply.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (2)

Lush Marmalade Jelly Bomb this took forever to break up and dissolve in the tub. It smelled good I love citrus things and turned the water so orange but unfortunately this left my skin really dry.

Repurchase: No

Up & Up Epsom Salt For Soaking in Eucalyptus & Spearmint this is not as good as the Dr. Teals one it claims to be comparable to at all. It didn’t have as strong of a scent and didn’t dissolve as well. It also didn’t feel as relaxing for my muscles as the Dr. Teals ones do.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (3)

Marc Anthony Repairing Macadamia Oil Deep Rescue Conditioning Treatment I thought I was going to love this when I was in the shower but it did not agree with my hair after it dried. It made my hair feel really silky soft, but it gave me a lot of frizz and fly-aways. It didn’t leave me with that lovely shiny glossy just washed hair feeling.

Repurchase: No

Pure Brazilian Deep Conditioning Masque this was meh its didn’t do anything to my hair at all.

Repurchase: No

Tony Moly Angel Glow Ring Hair Mask they don’t make this any more which is sad because it is a really nice hair mask even if it is a bit labor intensive. You put a mask on freshly washed wet hair and then sit with the provided shower cap on for twenty minutes then rinse it out. It makes my hair so glossy and smooth.

Repurchase: I would if it comes back

Declutter (5)

Covergirl Sponge this is hard as a rock and feels like tough rubber. It does not blend well or wash well this is awful.

She Makeup Abracadabra Mega Volume Mascara there is so little mascara in this tube that you can’t cover the brush and it is really gunky.

AOA Studio Fat Lash Mascara this is just too light and natural and too much work to coat the lashes.

Nyx Born to Glow Liquid Illuminator in Gleam this is just chucky and patchy and does not look great on the skin. I am pretty sure they have reformulated this but I have no interest in trying it. Essie Nail Polish in Viva Antiguai I am really not a nail polish person but I have a few bottles and I am trying to paint my toe nails and this I didn’t like. The color was not as bright on as I thought it would be and it was really liquidy and if a polish needs more than two coats its an automatic no for me.

That was a whole lot of big stuff this month. Pretty good I think. I have to use up roughly $291 worth of product per month to be on track for the year I was like $20 something short this month but I was way over the past two month so I am still ahead which is great.

What’s In My Trash? February 2020

nightmareb4

Another month down and I beat my month goal again. Thank god because I can already see that March is going to be a rough month I just started a a bunch of new large products. Uhoh. It was also looking back a really bad skin month. I didn’t like any of the products I used.

Skincare (12)

Naisture Tea Tree Mask Pack my skin is breaking out bad this month so I just wanted an easy tea tree mask since my skin loves tea tree oil. This was meh it didn’t fit well and I don’t think it did much.  I have three more. I may declutter them I may use them I don’t know yet.

Repurchase: No

Cosrx Acne Pimple Master Patch these only worked on spots that had already been popped. So if I had already popped a pimple and put this on it would really suck out the gunk and help it get flatter and not come back up to a head but it wouldn’t do anything for pimples that hadn’t come to a head yet for that reason I am not sold on them I feel like the Peter Thomas Roth ones worked on all pimples and the Dr. Jart ones are really good. So I don’t know that I will get these again with their limited range of use.

Repurchase: Probably not

Biossance Squalane + Glycolic Renewal Facial this was ok it had some brightening effect but nothing so amazing to encourage me to buy it.

Repurchase: No

Biossance Squalane + Peptide Eye Gel this was a nice eye cream really hydrating and bit plumping but I don’t think it is worth the price.

Repurchase: No

Purlisse Blue Lotus + White Tea Treatment Sheet Mask this is a hydrating mask like most sheet masks are I don’t think I would ever pay $8 for these mask I think that is outrageous. I like that these are soothing and not overly drippy or serum heavy sometimes I just don’t want to deal with a messy mask.

Repurchase: No

Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm I like this but it can cling to my contacts even though it doesn’t hurt. This is a super gentle cleansing balm which is nice but it isn’t as effective at taking off really stubborn mascara and liner like the Clinique one so I would not repurchase. But I would definitely use it again. I rather have something that I know is going to take off everything.

Repurchase: No

P.S. Dark Circle Reducer Eye Patches so these do nothing as under eye patches but they are the kind that have adhesive so they stick super well and they made a really clean line for my eyeshadow. Since they are so so cheap I would probably buy more of these for that purpose.

Repurchase: Probably but not for their intended purpose.

Sunday Riley A+ High-Dose Retinoid Serum (2) I didn’t really see any difference I had two tubes I used this for about a month and really didn’t see any difference.

Repurchase: No

Dermovia Lace A Peel Black Bamboo Charcoal Peel Off Mask this was an intense face mask. I felt like it was ripping my entire face off and it hurt a lot. It did feel like it got a lot of stuff out of my skin so that was good but it really hurt a lot. It also looked so scary on I looked like I was wearing a sock over my face like a cartoon bank robber.

Repurchase: No

Biossance Squalane + Tea Tree Cleansing Gel this was just a what ever face wash nothing special. This line really hasn’t wowed me at all.

Repurchase: No

MD’s Picks Pore Clear Water Rubber Mask I thought this would be fun but I hated it. It was like making slime and the putting slime on my face I just was so skeeved out the whole time I had it on.

Repurchase: No

Random (2)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Cooling Aloe Mist in FCS Vice this I used as sort of a everything mist. A scented body mist a cooling spray a face spray just for everything it smelled really nice but I wasn’t a fan of the formula. It had a kinda thick quality to it that felt kinda heavy on my skin. I wasn’t into it.

Repurchase: No

Native Deodorant in Coconut & Vanilla this was really hard and sticky so it made it super difficult to apply and because of that I feel like the application was never even enough for me to decide if it was working or not. This was officially the last of my mini natural deodorants and I don’t know if I will get more. I like having them and I do use them, but I don’t technically need them so I have to see how I feel without them for awhile. It kinda feels good to have finished one little sub category of items I own.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (5)

Bath and Body Works Fine Fragrance Mist in Beach I buy most of these fine fragrance mists as room sprays it is far and few between the ones I actually use as body mists I rather use a perfume but I like these as room sprays. I can spray it and it smells nice but it doesn’t feel overwhelming I like them so a light rescenting of a room lol.  Beach is one of my favorites it smells like the beach I love it.

Repurchase: Probably, I just have way to many right now

Swan Creek Candle Co Drizzle Melt in Bourbon Maple Sugar this is still my favorite wax company that I have tried the they burn for a long time and they have strong scents. This scent just wasn’t for me. It was more of a smoky bourbon maple then a sweet bourbon maple and I don’t love smoky scents. I am so glad that I have found a few stores that sell these waxes now because I can easily get other scents from them.

Repurchase: Not this one

Bath and Body Works Cereal Marshmallow Bar Candle I love this candle with my whole heart I bought 3 and I wish I had bought more it legit smells like a rice crispy treat but a little brighter and sweeter. I love it is has a great scent throw as well too.

Repurchase: Yes, please come back next year please

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Wax Tart in The Bloom Bloom Room this was a pretty springy bright floral scent but it had no scent throw and a short burn time.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Hot Cocoa & Cream one of my favorite scents. I love how it makes everything smell like chocolate. It makes me happy.

Repurchase: Yes

Lip (3)

Skin Fix Lip Repair Balm in Vanilla Mint I hate the packaging of these balms so much that I will never buy them. They are so hard to squeeze out and messy due to how much coconut oil is in them and how sensitive coconut oil is to even the slightest of temperature changes. That said they do feel nice on the lips this was much mintier than the lemon mint one.

Repurchase: No

Carmex Classic Lip Balm I love Carmex but only in this stick form. It feels great on chapped lips it helps protect them so they heal I love it and will always have some around. It is also super cheap.

Repurchase: Yes

Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm in Natural Mint this was terrible it tasted more like tea tree oil then mint which was super unpleasant if you have ever gotten tea tree near your mouth. It was also really thick and heavy so it was more of a really hard to spread barrier product then a lip balm.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (1)

Nyx Vivid Brights Eyeliner in Vivid Violet I like these eyeliners but they tend to dry out so fast. Once upon a time they were the only way to get colored liquid liners but now there are more options and Colourpop liners are cheaper and better so I don’t think I would go back to these.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (6)

Bath and Body Works Body Cream in Fiji Pineapple Palm this smelled really good like real pineapples. I liked the formula on the old body creams much more than on the new ones.

Repurchase: Maybe

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Hydrate Me these are in shower lotion sticks. I know for some people this is the product they have been dreaming of and it does work I feel really moisturizer and smooth after I use them but putting lotion on in the shower is just not my preferred method of lotion application. So I get these in a subscription box at least one a year and will happily use them I won’t buy them but I recommend them highly they are really great products if this is what you like.

Repurchase: No, but I will use

Ahava Deadsea Water Mineral Hand Cream in Sea-Kissed I love this cream it smells like the beach and it is nice and light. It is really expensive though which is my only problem with it.

Repurchase: Maybe

Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Ultra-Hydrating Body Butter I surprisingly liked this I thought it would be thick and gross but it sunk in quickly and I felt really hydrated. It didn’t have any noticeable scent either. I don’t really need this much hydration and I like a scent in my lotion so I wouldn’t purchase but I would happily use it again.

Repurchase: Probably not

Bath and Body Works Hand Cream In Ghoul Friend (Scary Berry) these hand lotions are fine but nothing special. I use them in my car and grab them when I have coupons to get them free. This one had super cute packaging and the berry scent was really nice.

Repurchase: Yes

Victoria Secret Body Milk Coffee Shop Hydrating Spray Lotion I liked the vanilla latte scent of this a lot but I hated this lotion. It didn’t come out of the spray well so it was hard to get an even coverage to rub in. and it was always really cold feeling I don’t know if that was a me problem or not but I didn’t like that.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (4)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Bubbling Bath Salts in Atlantis I really liked these they smelled nice and made the water a pretty blue. But I would rather a bath bomb to bath salts. I only like the bath salts that are Epsom salts and helping my muscles.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Body Scrub in In Your Glitter Dreams I didn’t like that this left glitter all over me of that the smell was really artificial and off putting which is rare for and FCS product. But the scrub itself was the kind I like where it is a loose paste that is super scrubby but also kinda moisturizing.

Repurchase: This one no but others

Spongelle in Sugar Plum these are super convientent for traveling with a sponge that has soap in it already this one left my skin feeling really dry though. So even though I liked this scent I would probably not repurchase since it left me feeling dry.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Aqua Illusion Liquid Bubble Bath this smelled really nice everything in the Sailor Moon collection was all fruity and yum. This didn’t make nice bubbles though it was the weak thin kind of bubbles.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (1)

Juicy Couture Mini Spray Oui I had this small vial of perfume from when I got the full size. It was good for like 3 or 4 days and I love how it smells.

Repurchase: I already have the full size

Haircare (3)

Bumble and Bumble Bb. Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Balm-to-Oil Pre-Shampoo Masque this was weird. It was really solid and they you warm it up and spread it through your hair but it is still pretty thick and sticky. It was hard to rinse out. It also left my hair feeling so greasy I had to wash it the next day.

Repurchase: No

Ag Colour Savour Mask loved this. It made my hair so so soft and did help a decent amount to protect my color. I really really liked this.

Repurchase: Yes

AG Cleansing Cream I like this and I like being able to use a cleansing conditioner like I am used to when I travel. It leaves my hair soft but a bit puffy and staticy which I don’t love.

Repurchase: Maybe

Declutter (3)

Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil this was leaving my skin really congested so I am not going to use this anymore. I really wanted this to work even though I knew there was a strong chance my skin would react badly to this even after I had a successful patch test with this it just didn’t obviously because I am allergic to roses.

L’Oreal Infallible The Super Slim Liquid Eyeliner this is just terrible. It is so smugdey it never fully dries down and ends up just rubbing off and smearing all over my face.

Mac Prep + Prime Skin this is primer but it is full of glitter and it made me break out and it felt gross on. I don’t understand this product.

I had alot of misses this month like most this I used I wasn’t happy with which is pretty unfortunate but it happens and I am happy to have them out of my house at least.
