At the end of the first quarter of 2021 and I am still behind in total value but ahead in total items. I feel like I didn’t use that much this month. This month was a whole blur.
Skincare (14)
Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask I loved this so much. So much so that even though I have so many eye creams I bought another one already. I actually saw results and quickly with out irritations this was a really good eye cream. The only sorta down side is that it isn’t really hydrating so I would either layer another eye cream over it or skip this one or two nights a week in favor a hydrating eye cream but I don’t even care because personally I don’t need a very hydrating eye cream every night. I am so in love with this. It is a really thick balmy texture two so it doesn’t migrate into your eyes or all over your face and it really made all the fine lines disappears so much love for this.
Repurchase: Literally did the night I used it up
BioRepublic Aloe Rescue Mask this was fine a moisturizing sheet mask.
Repurchase: No
Skinfix Barrier+ Triple Lipid Boost 360 Eye Cream this was thick but blended in pretty well and was very soothing. I liked this a lot a little went a long way.
Repurchase: Maybe
Belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb I just used this for some hydrating in conjunction with the Glow Recipe eye cream. I don’t care for this I feel like it is really expensive for a do-nothing hydrating eye gel it is just light and lightly hydrating.
Repurchase: No
Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream this was nicer then I expected. I thought this would be really heavy and thick kinda like the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream but this is really light and fast absorbing. Pretty nice cream. I have plenty of moisturizers that I love so I wouldn’t repurchase this but I liked using it.
Repurchase: No
Philosophy Renewed Hope in a Jar Peeling Mousse I hate these kinds of products. The ball up on your skin to make you think that it is dead skin cells, it isn’t that’s just a chemical reaction between your skin oils and the product, and the real exfoliation is usually chemical or should be on an expensive product like this. This did nothing. I just don’t get along with Philosophy skincare.
Repurchase: No
Naisture Tea Tree Mask Pack this is fine there isn’t much to say about most sheet masks. I feel like they are all just ok unless they are super amazing or super awful there isn’t much to say about them.
Repurchase: No
Dr. Dennis Gross Ferulic + Retinol Wrinkle Recovery Peel I think I liked this but only using it once and then I have one more I’m not going to see any results but it didn’t upset my skin and my skin felt nice in the morning.
Repurchase: No
Beekman 1802 Milk Foam Calming Bubble Mask this was whatever I don’t feel like it did anything and bubble masks are fun but a little bit of a pain because they are messy and you can’t really do anything else while you are wearing them.
Repurchase: No
Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream this was unimpressive and a bit thick for my taste.
Repurchase: No
Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant so I have tried this before and didn’t like it. I found out I had used it wrong I tried it again correctly where you dissolve this in water or a cleanser and then let it sit on your face and while better, I still don’t like it. It is messy and a pain for a pretty mediocre exfoliating experience.
Repurchase: No
Strivectin Anti-Wrinkle Wrinkle Recode Line Transforming Melting Serum can you marry a skincare product because I want to marry this. It actually works like it actually got rid of lines that were forming on my face and I love it so much and I am so sad that it is $89 because I think I am going to go into actual shock when I go re buy this in the future.
Repurchase: Yes
The Beauty Crop Avocado Hydrating Eye Mask I didn’t really these they didn’t stick well and didn’t have a ton of serum so it felt like they were doing nothing.
Repurchase: No
Lord Jones Acid Mantle Repair CBD Moisturizer this was very thick I actually got two nights out of this packet. I don’t know if it did anything after two used but it felt really nice on.
Repurchase: Not at this point
Random (2)
White Vintage Mickey Mouse Pouf (not pictured) last of my Mickey Mouse poufs I liked these and they lasted a super long time.
Repurchase: Yes
Lush Shower Bomb in Comfort Zone (not pictured) the quality of this did n ot meet my expectations it lasted two showers but it melted weird and was messy and didn’t really steam or add much scent to my shower and I love the comfort scent from Lush but this did not do it for me.
Repurchase: No
Home Scents (4)
Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Blueberry Maple Pancakes I love all the blueberry scents from bath and body works they always have such a good scent throw and I love sweet bakery scents.
Repurchase: Yes
Bath and Body Works Copper Coconut Candle this is one of my favorites it smells like girls scout cookies to me and I like it a lot. I don’t know if it is special enough to class as one of the candles I am still willing to buy from Bath and Body works we will see.
Repurchase: Maybe
Bath and Body Works Whipped Coffee Candle this burned through really really fast and it must have burned really hot because it melted the sticker on the outside. Not great.
Repurchase: No
Hand Soap in Vanilla Nutmeg this is a unbranded soap that I picked up at a Marshalls or TJ Maxx like years ago I forgot I even had it until I found it in the back of a cabinet So long that it had lost its scent. This was fine as a soap a soap it literally lasted forever there is more in there but I can’t pump it out and I don’t care enough to pour it out and use it up. It smelled nice when it had a scent.
Repurchase: No
Lip (5)
Victoria Secret Goodnight Kiss Overnight Lip Mask this was fine it was more like a glossy balm then a lip mask but it tasted really good it was a really interesting vanilla and it was thick and fine.
Repurchase: No, too expensive
Medusa’s Makeup Lip Balm in Cha Cha Cha Cherry Bomb of the three lip balms I have tried this was my least favorite from them the flavor was very off and it was really melty and gross I didn’t love that this was tinted either. I also do not under stand how this is priced at $8.95 none of their other lip balms are even close to that in price it makes no sense.
Repurchase: No
Columbia Candle Supply Green Apple Lip Balm this came weirdly with a wax melt order I made a long time ago and it isn’t even a product they sell. I don’t know it was weird. This balm had no flavor even though it was supposed to be green apple but it was a super nice balm it had that thick slippy feel I like.
Repurchase: Can’t
Fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy I really like the Fresh balms they are feel so nice on and they taste and smell really good but I hate how soft they are because they break and I go through them really really fast which is not great for the price.
Repurchase: Probably not
Elf Lip Exfoliator in Cherry Tart they have since renamed this flavor to sweet cherry. When I got this I thought it was the best lip exfoliator but I have grown past it. I don’t love how sticky it is mixed with the balm in it I find it surprisingly mess and hard to get off as well as it leaks every where into the packaging making it messy.
Repurchase: No
Lotion (1)
Burt’s Bees Body Lotion in Milk & Honey this was nice it smelled like honey it was really thick and moisturizing. I am really glad oi Cut this open because there was so much left in the tube like 2 weeks’ worth of lotion that was couldn’t be squeezed out.
Repurchase: Maybe, I have so much lotion
Bodycare (2)
Bath and Body Works Merry Cherry Cheer Shower Gel this was nice it was all the fruity scents I like with cherries and raspberries and such I liked it. The purple color was fun too.
Repurchase: Maybe
Fortune Cookie Soap Company Walnut Body Scrub in Sorcery & Seduction, so just to call myself out I used this on my face and body because their walnut “body” scrubs are the same formula as the walnut face scrubs they used to make that I loved. I know walnut scrubs can cause a lot of skin irritation and problems for a lot of people so don’t do what I do but for me my skin really responds well to walnut scrubs. That said the scent on this was so strong, it was meant to represent Jafar and it really did, that I used it more on my body then face because it was a lot of scent to have up that close to my nose. I loved it but the scent not so much.
Repurchase: Not in this scent
Perfume (2)
Juicy Couture Perfume Malibu I liked this a lot but I preferred the other two versions of malibu the surf and the la la. This has been discontinued so it really doesn’t matter either way.
Repurchase: No
Pinrose Secret Genius I liked this a lot it is the kind of sweet perfume I really like. I liked Gilded Fox a lot better so would purchase that over this.
Repurchase: No
Haircare (3)
Bumble and Bumble Bb. Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat /UV Primer I don’t really like heat protectants I find them always to be sticky and heavy in my hair. And I just struggle to force myself to use them.
Repurchase: No
Pravana Chromasilk Vivids in Magenta (not pictured) this was good it is a professional hair dye that I don’t know if a non-cosmetologist can buy so I wouldn’t be able to buy this. I did like this better than the dyes I can normally access it dyed faster and with less mess.
Repurchase: No
Fortune Cookie Soap Company Restorative Hair Mask in Not Now, Ma! I really like their restorative hair masks they have almost a balm texture so a little goes a long way and it ends up always coming down to the scent for me and this smelled very fruity and delicious.
Repurchase: Yes
Declutter (5)
Skinfix Foaming Oil Cleanser (x2) I hated this it didn’t feel like it was cleaning my face at all just like there was oil sliding around on my skin. And it just felt gross.
Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment I just hated this I couldn’t force my way through it. It was so sticky and thick that it was hard to blend in and it was really important to fully blend it is because it is green. I get that it is supposed to neutralize the red in your skin but it was so green it made my skin look grey and it was so thick and sticky.
Mac Lustre Lipstick in Hug Me I don’t loke this color it is a little too light on my and I don’t love the lustre finish.
Physicians Formula The Healthy Lip Velvet Liquid Lipstick in Noir-ishing Plum this is fine but I have lipsticks in this same color that just perform better. So I need to make cuts because I just have too many lipsticks.
I can’t believe we are 1 yr from when the world shut down it is just been such a wild 15 months I just can’t even.
