I know its already the end of June but here are my May empties. I’ll get back on track soon. When who knows but eventually.
Makeup
First up is 6 Ulta Matte Lip Creams that I am decluttering. I really hated the formula on these they feel super nice and creamy when you put them on but they ever dry down and never get totally matte they just aren’t what I want in a liquid lipstick. These are more like a melted matte lipstick sort of like the melted lipsticks from Too Faced which I am also not a fan of. These are getting passed on to a new home with my mom who actually really likes this formula.
Repurchase: No
Carmex Chapstick this is my favorite chapstick for when my lips are really dry and cracked this is a medicated lip balm and a staple for me in the winter.
Repurchase: Yes, already have
Rimmel Stay Matter Foundation this felt like it was going to be really nice when I was applying it but it was way to dry even for my oily skin it caked up and emphasized my pores and just did not settle on my skin in a flattering way at all.
Repurchase: No
Urban Decay Vice Lipstick Sample in Backtalk this is the perfect mauvy nude color for my skin tone and a really comfortable no drying matte formula not long wearing on transfer proof but it is a matte for like the summer or when you’re lips are too dry for liquid lipstick. I will eventually be picking this up in a full size.
Repurchase: Yes
Lotions
Dove Energy Glow Lotion this was gross it didn’t sink into my skin well and did not tan at all. It had a weird thin formula and then stained the crap out of the bottle it was just a mess.
Repurchase: No
Fortune Cookie Soap Company whipped creams I have 2 this month. As usual I love these its very rare for me to dislike one of these and then its usually just a scent preference issue. I go through at least one of their lotions a month. They are great the Bonjour whipped cream from the Beauty and the Beast collection was baby blue and pick it was very cute.
Repurchase: Yes
Exfoliators
Philosophy microdelivery exfoliating face wash this was terrible it didn’t exfoliate and felt like I was rubbing sand and water on my face. There are so many better products for much cheaper out there like the next product I used.
Repurchase: No
Etude House Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Foam this I loved I love all baking powder and baking soda cleanser they work well for my skin and this was not exception I would consider picking this up if I could find it some where. It exfoliates well with out totally stripping my skin.
Repurchase: Yes
Perfume
I used 2 Replica Perfume samples in Beach Walk and Lazy Sunday Morning. These are very much those scents that are supposed to be familiar to real life scents. They are cool but I like them more as linen sprays then actual perfume and that is what I used them for.
Repurchase: No
Hair Care
Obliphic Seaberry Hair Serum this smelled really weird and did not dissipate quickly. It also says for fine hair but weighed down my hair so much it was so heavy and had that really intense silicone feel to it this was just too much I feel lie you would need really course or curly hair for this to work for you.
Repurchase: No
Batiste dry shampoo I know this is supposed to be the holy grail not expensive dry shampoo but this did not work for me it smells like chemicals it made my hair sticky it did not last as long as my DryBar one that I love. The only good part is that it left less of a white cast.
Repurchase: No
Living Proof Timeless pre-shampoo treatment this smelled horrible like it had gone bad I hated using it. I also don’t feel like it did anything at all for my hair either negative or positive.
Repurchase: No
Shaving Cream
Skintimate Wintercare Shaving cream this came in a limited edition holiday set it smelled like floral berries which I hated and it was not a great shave cream it was pretty dry and not smooth at all.
Repurchase: No
Household Scents
Fortune Cookie Soap Company Room Spray in Zombie Repellent this smelled so good like a carnival and fall and so yummy I loved this to the last drop it is sad that these are only small runs so if you love scent you can’t get it again.
Repurchase: Yes
Yankee Candle Honey Clementine Fragrance Spheres I used these in my car and they were pretty great lasted about 5 weeks and smelled like a sweet citrus. I enjoyed it and would consider purchasing again in the future.
Repurchase: Yes
Including my declutter it is not my best month and June is shaping up to be worse but oh well this is supposed to be a fun challenge not something to make my self miserable about. I am still consistently using things up and moving things out of my collection that I do not enjoy so it is going great. Almost halfway through the year and already almost at my goal of 180 products!
Total: 22
