Skincare (13)
NuFace Prep-n-Glow Dual Sided Cloth I have waxed lyrical about these being my favorite face wipes they really feel like they are cleaning and exfoliating and improving my skin when I use on but they are expensive so I only use them as a special treat for my skin. I tend to use my Macy’s box coupon when I get a ten dollar one to pick up a box of these.
Repurchase: Yes
Clinique Take the Day Off Balm I love this cleansing balm it takes my makeup off so easy and quick with out stinging my eyes. I like the Farmacy one like maybe 3% more but it is a lot more expensive.
Repurchase: Yes
First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads (10 pads) I still don’t feel like I know how I feel about these but I do think that they aren’t worth the money.
Repurchase: No
Valjean Labs Firm Facial Serum I really liked this serum I used it for my neck and chest and it was really nice and moisturizing and not to sticky.
Repurchase: Probably
Differin Gel I have been super curious about Differin Gel since it went over the counter and I liked this sample it felt like it was working to start to clean up and improve my skin and I noticed a backslide in my acne when I finished this but I also got my period at that same time so it’s a bit hard to tell since the period acne is strong with my skin. It is affordable though so I probably will try this again.
Repurchase: Maybe
Global Beauty Care Cucumber Extract Wipes so not something I would buy on my on since it’s a bit of a knock off brand I won this at a bridal shower and really liked them. Ive actually really liked everything I have tried from this Global Beauty Care brand that you can find at like Five Below and Walmart and one of the drug stores but can’t remember which. These were very similar to the green Garnier ones I like a lot.
Repurchase: Maybe
Wander Beauty Lift Off Purifying Peel Off Face Mask this mask is heavily dyed and doesn’t feel like it does much. It was a fun but useless mask it was easy to pull off it was fun having the pretty purple color on but it did nothing for my skin. I have this in a full size and based on the sample this mask is like $5.67 a use which is too much for it doing nothing. I’ll use it for funsies but don’t really recommend for actually benefits.
Repurchase: No
Sunday Riley C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum I don’t know that I saw a difference while using this or if it was in my head since any difference I saw was really really slight.
Repurchase: No, Not convinced it does anything
Tony Moly I’m Lemon Brightening Gel Eye Patch loved this eye mask it really did a lot of brightening and hydrating after a rough sleepless night and a whole day of work and then I needed to go out so these were a plus and they stuck on decent I chucked them on while I was doing eyeshadow and they stayed on pretty well there was only minimal sliding as I was moving around.
Repurchase: Yes
Korres Greek Yoghurt Foaming Cream Cleanser I don’t really like this it is to creamy for me I feel like it leaves a film on my skin I think I have more of these so I will get through them but I don’t like it.
Repurchase: No
Tarte Frxxxtion Stick love this one of my favorite exfoliators it is easy and mess free and convenient. Its great at its job I love it top 5 favorite exfoliators.
Repurchase: Yes
Biobelle #beautyscoop Sheet Mask this was ice I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. It was really hydrating.
Repurchase: Maybe
*L’oreal Pure Clay Mask Exfoliate and Refine this was my least favorite of the L’oreal masks but overall I really really like their clay mask line. I personally don’t like gritty exfoliating clay masks that’s just me so that is why I didn’t love this one but if you do like that I do recommend this.
Repurchase: Yes
Random (2)
So Shadey Cotton Rounds these were from Forever 21 and they still sell cotton pads under this brand but not these round ones anymore. These were a really good deal a three pack for just a around $2 I think. I liked these thy were sturdy and soft and don’t leave fuzz on my face. I will probably try the other ones they sell now.
Repurchase: I would
Boscia Charcoal Makeup Melt Cleansing Oil Balm this was awful this made my skin burn and feel sticky and it wouldn’t rinse off and wasn’t that great at removing makeup. I used it to wash m y brushes to just get rid of it because I couldn’t return it. This was horrible.
Repurchase: No, I wouldn’t ever touch this again.
Home Scents (3)
Columbia Candle Supply Wax Melt in Caribbean Salsa meh not my favorite wax melt this one didn’t have enough scent for me and the big chuck of like confetti like glitter in it were such a pain in the ass to clean out of my wax melter.
Repurchase: No
Bath and Body Works White Caramel Cold Brew smells like Starbucks.
Repurchase: Yes
DW Home Bergamot Lemongrass Candle this had no throw in my opinion but my gf loved the scent and said it had a great throw so it just shows that everyone’s nose is so different.
Repurchase: No
Lotion (2)
Bath and Body Works Body Lotion in Happiness one of my favorite scents from them.
Repurchase: Yes
Soap and Glory Hand Food in Call of Fruity this wasn’t that great of a lotion it was not really very hydrating and the smell was just so so. I was very disappointed I had hoped this would make up for them taking away my favorite scent Orangasm slash bought this for the Call of Duty reference.
Repurchase: No
Bodycare (3)
Victoria Secret Double Shot Coffee Shop Dual-Phase Vanilla Wash I loved the scent of this it smelled like a vanilla latte it was awesome. The consistency I could not get own with though it was legit the consistency of brewed coffee so I felt like I wasn’t really getting the clean sudsy feeling that I like and because it was so think I feel like a lot spilled on the shower floor and was wasted.
Repurchase: No
Fortune Cookie Soap Company God of Thunder Coffee Body Polish this was so messy I hate really messy scrubs this was like dumping coffee grounds on my shower floor.
Repurchase: No
Fortune Cookie Soap Company The Boy Who Never Grew Up Shampoo Bar I used this for shaving because I don’t like shampoo bars for my hair I find them too difficult to wash with. This smelled so good and fruity and light. It also worked really well as shave cream. This could actually be pretty useful for travel now that I think about it. The wrapper was too gross to save.
Repurchase: Maybe, but not for its intended purpose
Perfume (1)
Givenchy Dahlia Divin Pefurme I love this perfume I have it in a full size. I was cleaning and found all these weird samples from when I got the full size and decided to try and use them. Who outs perfume in essentially a bag? It was really hard to use so weird.
Repurchase: I already own the full size
Haircare (1)
Fortune Cookie Soap Company Crushin’ Leave in Conditioner not my favorite leave in conditioner didn’t do much but great yummy sweet scent.
Repurchase: No
Declutter (5)
Fortune Cookie Soap Company I Put a Smell on You Perfume Oil this was from the Halloween collection they did based on Hocus Pocus this smelled really good in the bottle like a champagne to me but on it settled down into a very heavy powdery old musk type of scent that gave me a headache and is the definition of scents I hate. So I gave it to my mom to see if she would like it.
Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Chai I just don’t love the Bite formula I find it really heavy and uncomfortable.
Medusa’s Makeup Totally Baked Eyeshadow in Awesome this is not the greatest of purples it needs to be built up a lot and then in looks chunky. I gave this it’s one last chance it’s not for me.
Tattoo Junkee Glo-Lite Highlighter in Mystical I love their liquid lipsticks so I had to try this highlighter and oh god no. It is a pretty color a pink with a strong gold reflect but it sits terribly on the skin it really chunky and shows all the pores in my skin and makes texture where there is none. Nyx Matte Lipstick in Pure Red I like the formula of this one but not the color. Pure red is a very orangey red and I am not for that at all.
I am trying to wear every single lipstick I own and work through which ones I actually want and which ones I don’t because I jsut have an overwhelming amount of lipstick so expect alot of lipsticks in the declutter section in the coming months.
