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.
