Pretty good amount of products I amassed this month so let’s get started.
Declutter
Lush UltraBalm this is an all-purpose balm it feels like really gross Vaseline but there is no petroleum jelly in. If you need an all-natural Vaseline I would suggest it. For me the smell and the texture I just could not get past. I like the salves from Fortune Cookie Soap Company so much better and they last forever I have two that I have been working on for years that barely have dips in them.
Wen Sweet Almond Mint Anti-Frizz Styling Crème this I didn’t really understand. It is a super silicone feeling crème to put on your hair for frizz but you put it on in the shower and rinse it off which doesn’t make any sense. I’ve tried not rinsing it out and rinsing it out but it just doesn’t work for me. It makes my hair feel like plastic doll’s hair and really heavy. I think my dad wanted to try this, he has long hippie hair, so I’m going to pass this along to him.
Fortune Cookie Soap Company Dusting Powder I don’t really get this product it is supposed to be like I guess baby powder but it is gritty and doesn’t dispense or rub in well. Sorry Fortune Cookie Soap Company I love all almost all of your stuff but this one not so much.
Unwash Bio-Cleansing Conditioner I have been looking for cleansing conditioners like Wen I do like my Wen still but I’m kinda bored of it and wanting to branch out. This was a fail it didn’t rinse out well. It didn’t make my hair feel clean and I am pretty sure it dried my hair out. So this is out. I’m going to try to find this a new home since it is an almost full bottle and I’m sure someone might be interested in trying it.
Random lip balm I have so many nice ones that I am trying to move all these random free ones out of my life as I find them since they are stashed all over the damn place.
Hair Care
Marc Anthony Clear Dry Shampoo this does not leave a white residue so they are true to that claim on the bottle. This was more like hair spray then dry shampoo this was very sticky in my hair and left it stiff but did not make it cleaner or less greasy. It also doesn’t have a nice scent it has no scent. Doesn’t hold a candle to my beloved Dry Bar Detox Dry shampoo.
Repurchase: No
Madame C.J. Walker Beauty Culture Wonderful Deep Conditioning Masque holy crap for starters I hate the smell it smells like old floral just no. And it lingers terribly like 2 days after using it I could still smell it in my hair. My hair is also really dry right now and this didn’t do much to moisturize it.
Repurchase: No chance in hell
Makeup
Victoria Secret Graphic Liner Pen remember when VS made make up? I had totally forgot I even had this liner and it was almost dead so I used it up it was ok nice brush but it bled a lot. Not that that matters since this definitely is discontinued.
Repurchase: Couldn’t even if I wanted to which I don’t
Too Faced Better than Sex Mascara this was nice the first few times I used it but it got so clumpy and goopy so fast. Apparently according to emilynoel83, a youtuber I really like, the mini gets clumpy much faster and the full size is better but I don’t know that I’ll ever be taking that $23 gamble.
Repurchase: No
Perfume
Tory Burch Bel Azur this is a nice fruity perfume. I enjoyed it I really like Tory Burch perfumes but they are really pricey and I tend not to buy perfume for myself since it is so expensive, but I do like it and have talked about it before on here.
Repurchase: No
Bobbi Brown Beach this really does smell like the beach I don’t even know how to describe it other than a perfumey version of the beach. It should be noted that it is a very very strong scent. Again something I really like but won’t buy. I’d really like this as a candle or a linen spray I am going to have to see if that exists.
Repurchase: No
Body Care
Soap and Glory Orangeasm Body Wash I love the Orangeasm scent it is probably one of my all-time favorite scents in anything this body wash lasted forever and I like that it has a pump. I was so excited when this came out and I still am excited about it. It is a peppery earth orange lemon citrus scent it smells like a real orchard or fruit garden.
Repurchase: Yes
Oui Neroli Shave Oil this lasted a long time but didn’t give me as nice of ashave as say baby oil. It did clog my razor less and smell better so if you want a shave oil and can’t use baby oil try this but if you can use baby oil I would just use that if you are looking for an oil.
Repurchase: No
Fortune Cookie Soap Company Whipped Cream this is an every month thing. So clearly I love them they are a staple for me this one was in Monkey Business which was a Banana Bread scent.
Repurchase: Yes
Dove Purely Pampering Shea and Warm Vanilla Body Wash I did not like this the smell was weird to me and it was too creamy and moisturizing. I do not feel like it actually cleaned me just kinda sat heavily on my skin. I also don’t have a picture this got accidentally thrown out. Which was sad because I had been working on this giant bottle forever.
Repurchase: No
Skin Care
Clinique Facial Soap this is an ok soap It isn’t terrible or great just ok I wouldn’t buy it but I’ll always use whatever samples I get.
Repurchase: No
St. Ives Apricot Scrub this is the way older formula I know most people love this face scrub but it really just does nothing for me.
Repurchase: No
Global Beauty Care Charcoal Makeup Wipes I picked these up on a whim at TJ Maxx I thought I would love them because they are black but I really missed the satisfying feeling off seeing the dirt on the wipe.
Repurchase: No
Eco Tools Mask Remover Sponges I got these in a Walmart box and I really liked them at first. But I realized they degrade really really quickly and I would want a mask removing sponge to last longer then like three or four uses. I would be open to trying a similar item but most likely won’t buy these again unless I find them for really cheap on sale.
Repurchase: No
Boscia Purifying Cleansing Gel I really can’t remember what I thought of this so it couldn’t have been that great or that horrible. I will say it was a very sticky gel for whatever that random piece of information is worth.
Repurchase: No
Glamglow Supermud mask I really like these but they are very expensive and the size is very small so as I have found other mud masks that I like just as much I will not purchase. I will use up every sample I get though.
Repurchase: No
Random
Dove Men+ Care Dry Spray Deodorant sometimes I’ll use men’s deodorant this was sent to me for free from Dove from an offer on their website (not because I’m like a famous influencer anyone can get the free things I get). I liked it at first but towards the end it stopped working completely I feel like the contenst must have separated and at the end there was nothing of the deodorant part left.
Repurchase: No
Nad’s Cleansing Wipe this was awful it came with my new waxing kit I’m trying and this was so soapy and not want I’d want in a pre-waxing wipe. I will probably us these as like hand wipes for my car.
Repurchase: No
Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Marshmallow Fireside this smelled so amazingly good and really made the room smell delicious and warm and sweet and cozy.
Repurchase: Yes
Fortune Cookie Soap Company Linen Spray in Wendy Bird I like this linen spray I spray it on my sheets before bed it makes for a nice sheet refresher. I do not have any more right now which makes me sad.
Repurchase: Yes
I cant believe there is only 2 months left to the year this year was so crazy felt so long and so fast. I have been so busy this blog has really been a nice relaxing hobby for me and I am so glad I have it it has been fun. I miss it so much when I get to busy with work and school to devote the time and energy I want to this blog.
