Sorry this is so late this month. I lost my dog my little best friend a total bright spot with a giant personality and I have just been missing him to much to really do anything extra right now. Any one who has ever lost a pet understands. I am just so sad right now.
I was on a vacation in May and I am not in the habit of bring trash home with me so there are so extra pictures of those products included that are not in the final round up.
Skincare (20)
South Mane Eye Gels I really enjoyed these and this was my last pair I got them in a Boxycharm awhile back. These were really hydrating and stay on my face really well as I was walking around and doing things.
Repurchase: Yes
Sweet & Shimmer Face & Body Mini Wipes in Frosted Berry I love these for swatches they take off swatches really well and they smell great I always pick these up for that purpose probably always will. I also love that they are mini size so I don’t feel like I am wasting anything because you don’t need giant wipes for swatches.
Repurchase: Yes
Patchology Clear Skin Sheet Mask this felt nice and smelled nice and felt soothing but it didn’t clear my skin this is not worth the price at all. I kinda feel like any sheet mask that claims to do anything other then moisturize, brighten or soothe doesn’t actually work.
Repurchase: No
Bath and Body Works Face & Body Mist this is from the water line that was alcohol free. I liked the smell of this it was and it was a nice refreshing face mist. It didn’t rock my world but I liked using it.
Repurchase: Maybe
Make Dual-Phase Eye Makeup Remover I never used this to actually remove my makeup I used it on Q-Tips as a way to clean up and touch up mistakes while doing my makeup it was good at that and didn’t leave an oil gross residue on my face.
Repurchase: Maybe
Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask this makes my skin really kinda greasy I don’t love it. Maybe if you have really dry skin but I didn’t like it that much. I had to just use it on drier spots.
Repurchase: No
Pur The Grinch Mask Sampler Glitterally Gold I legit have no feelings about this mask I just was not impressed by any of them and don’t think they were worth it.
Repurchase: No
Belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb I really liked this it was very moisturizing. I don’t feel ike it hase much in the way of treatment or anti-aging but feels really nice and cool and hydrating and I liked that. I feel like the Neutrogena HydroBoost Eye Get is a total dupe for this and I like the packaging of that better so I would buy that over this especially for the price. I will happily use all the samples I have of this though.
Repurchase: No
Peter Thomas Roth Acne Clearing Wash this is fine as an acne wash didn’t leave my skin overly dry and had a nice light lemon scent but I don’t spend money on pricey face wash I think that is silly since it is in contact with your face for so little time that any drug store face wash is just fine.
Repurchase: No
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel I like this moisturizer a lot it is great but I was flying and this wasn’t quite hydrating enough for how that kinda of plane dehydration but that’s ok normally this is a great moisturizer for oily skin.
Repurchase: Yes
Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer I tried to use this as my sunscreen on my face since it has spf 30 it broke me out as a lot of sunscreens do so no go for me though still used it up because I only brought a few sample sizes to try out.
Repurchase: No
Aveeno Absolutely Ageless Daily Moisturizer this had a weird scent like blackberries mixed with florals. I didn’t like it. It also broke me out like the other Aveeno one.
Repurchase: No
Supergoop! Superscreen Daily Moisturizer SPF 40 PA+++ I like super goop sunscreens they don’t break me out they don’t smell weird but they can be kinda heavy and this one was very thick and heavy I don’t like that.
Repurchase: No
Clinique Take the Day Off Makeup Remover Towelettes these smell awful like gasoline or something they do work but they are not as soft or as wet as I like my face wipes to be. I have quite a few packs of these because I got them very cheap and they are great for travel but wouldn’t repurchase. They do work fine I just don’t love them.
Repurchase: No
Bioderma Sensibio Eye Contour Gel I hated this eye cream I hate the the sample couldn’t be sealed it was just an open tip. And I hated hot this felt under my eyes and I feel like it made my dark circles worse this was terrible.
Repurchase: No, Wouldn’t even use it again
Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm I love this with all my heart and soul it is my favorite balm to take my eye makeup off it doesn’t sting you don’t have to tug at your eyes I love it so much. Was so excited to have this little sample I could bring with me.
Repurchase: Yes
Kate Somerville EradiKate Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment this was a decent spot treatment but where it really excelled was it actually made my skin around the pimple look healthier which made the pimple look less bad if that makes sense I don’t think it does.
Repurchase: Maybe
Exuviance Probiotic Lysate Anti-Pollution Essence this made my skin look and feel really blotchy and congested I don’t think this is a good product for me and I don’t even totally get what it is supposed to do.
Repurchase: No
Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Scrub not my favorite facial scrub as I have said here so many times but I will use it when I have samples.
Repurchase: No
Freeman Hydrating Cactus + Cloudberry Water Gel Mask one of my most favorite moisturizers (yes I know it is supposed to be a mask). I like to put this on I a thick layer and it soaks in so well and leave my face feeling so hydrated and plump but not sticky.
Repurchase: Yes
Random (11)
Dr. Pedicure Foot Exfoliating Mask this is a foot peeling mask it did its job it peeled and made my feel softer but this peeled off in such an awful way like it itty bitty flakey pieces instead of giant chunks and took a very long time to peel off I would rather the Baby Foot one or the TonyMoly one.
Repurchase: No
Degree Motion Sense Deodorant Fresh Energy my favorite deodorant.
Repurchase: Yes
Fortune Cookie Soap Company Veggie Protein Deodorant in The Captain I like these natural deodorants for when I am not going out or just like running a few errands they smell nice they work well and they don’t irate my skin.
Repurchase: Yes
Pink Pewter Hair Ties normally I wouldn’t put hair ties in my empties but when they are this freaking expensive like over 12 dollars I feel like I have too. I really liked these they don’t leave dents in my hair or give me headaches but they also don’t hold my hair up super well and they stretch our really easy these are like the sweatpants of hair ties.
Repurchase: Maybe
Dove Advanced Care Cool Essentials Deodorant this was actually a really good deodorant. It wasn’t overly scent and it was smooth and worked well.
Repurchase: Maybe
Sweet & Shimmer Brush Cleansing Wipes (6) these are a game changer for me they made it so that I only had to bring a few eye brushes. These don’t clean them but they get the shadow off so that you can use other shadows and not ruin your look.
Repurchase: Yes
Home Scents (6)
Fortune Cookie Soap Hidden Rebel Base Fabric & Room Spray this smells exactly like the Norway Pavillion of Epcot not a scent I am super fond of at all but it is nostalgic and not quite as pungent as the Norway smell so I was able to use it up.
Repurchase: No
Bath and Body Works Summertime Soda Pop Candle I liked this one a lot it smelled a lot like orange soda and I love orange and citrus scents.
Repurchase: Yes
Bath and Body Works Scent Portable in Pomegranate or at least I think it was pomegranate. I like the scent portables they are alright I like when I get them for free most of the ones I have I have gotten for free I wouldn’t pay for them even though they do last way longer than a little tree would.
Repurchase: Yes
Basin Fresh Soap I don’t know what scent/name this was, it isn’t on the website, I bought it in a little value pack that was made of like I assume leftover scraps or messed up cuts so I could try a few scents this one was super cute and bright smelling it was yellow with lots of different colored Mickey heads I the soap. This little ass bar lasted me like 9+ months of hand washing It takes along time to go through a bar soap.
Repurchase: Maybe, but I have a lot of soap right now
Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Lemon & Fig I did not like this it had basically no scent. I find that like half the wallflower scents work really well and half are too strong or have no scent.
Repurchase: No
Fortune Cookie Soap Company Personal Space Air Freshener this was Mountain Dew Scented so I used mostly on my girlfriend’s stuffs since that is her favorite soda and it was kinda a fun little thing but I am glad it was small because it would be weird to have to use this like all the time.
Repurchase: No
Lip (2)
FCS Lip Balm I don’t remember the scent or even when I got this tiny little guy. It isn’t my favorite lip balm I have ever had from them but it was as moisturizing and comfortable as all of the ones I have from them. This had too much of a dark tint that it was messy to wear and had a very strong scent/flavor that it almost stung on my lips. The scent was really yummy just way too strong for a lip balm.
Repurchase: No
Chapstick Total Hydration Lip Scrub this was like a nice sweet mint flavor but had a chemically after taste. This was one of those lip scrubs that I feel like you have to chase around your mouth to scrub your lips. Not my favorite type of thing. I really prefer a more solid scrub.
Repurchase: No
Makeup (5)
Too Faced Hangover Rx Replenishing Face Primer I don’t feel like this did much for my skin, or the look of my makeup it was like a bit of nothing on the face.
Repurchase: No
Mac in Extreme 3D Black Lash I never like Mac mascara samples I think the little tubes make the mascara too dry and I hate the sample brushes.
Repurchase: No
Sephora 12hr Colorful Contour Eyeliner 01 Black Lace this I love but is has gotten to the point where it is too hard to sharpen so I have to call it done. This was so soft and creamy ad black and really stayed in my waterline so well.
Repurchase: Definitely
Nars Pro-Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base in Original this made my eyeshadow crease the more often then not.
Repurchase: No
Smashbox Photofinish Primer Water this was a great Mac Fix+ type of product but I think I prefer Fix+ to this. This has a funky scent is just a bit tackier then Fix+.
Repurchase: No
Lotions (2)
Hempz Triple Moisture Herbal Whipped Body Cream I love the scent of this so herbally and fresh and the lotions are quite hydrating. The frustrating part was that I could not get everything out of this bottle it was so annoying.
Repurchase: Maybe
Bath and Body Works Hot Cocoa and Cream Body Cream love the scent of this smells like a Hershey bar. I am not a fan of their body creams I prefer their body butters or the lotions but I would legit buy anything in this scent I don’t even care.
Repurchase: Yes
Bodycare (5)
Gillette Venus Shower Shave Cream in Vanilla Crème I do like shaving creams to shave with though I do prefer shaving oils. This was ok it wasn’t the greatest and it didn’t give the greatest shave I am not super picky I will use whatever is available to shave with. This had a nice vanilla cream scent but it is too pricey I feel for shaving since it isn’t that great. This came in like a Christmas pack which is how I ended up with it because I would not have purchased it. You are also supposed to be able to use it as body wash too but that just seems like a way to use up your shaving cream super fast so you buy more. And there is no reason why you can shave with like a normal body wash if you wanted to.
Repurchase: No
Fortune Cookie Soap Company Smuggler Sugar & Spice Body Polish I seem to have lost the picture I took of the bag when I decanted this into a different container because I wasn’t going to keep a bag in my shower and let it melt and get gross. I also really didn’t like this at all I was not a fan of the spicy scent it had and it was very rough and super messy. Like I had to wash my whole shower after.
Repurchase: No
Spongelle in Papaya Yuzu I love these Spongelle sponges they are so convenient for traveling and there is so many more washes in the sponges then the labels claim. I liked the scent on the sponge but on my skin it turned a little sour on my skin.
Repurchase: Not this one
Tommy Bahama Conditioner I used this to shave it was fine, it was free and it was there.
Repurchase: No
Tommy Bahama Shampoo same as above.
Repurchase: No
Perfume (7)
YSL Black Opium Perfume this was nice I liked it. That’s all I really remember about it. I have so much perfume its hard to impress me into wanting to buy something.
Repurchase: No
Zoella Blissful Mistful Perfume I got a four pack of all different scents of these around Christmas and I am killing myself to use them up because I really don’t like them the sprayer quality is really cheap and the perfumes smell cheap and doesn’t last long at all. I have been trying to layer them with other perfumes or spray them in my hair wear them around the house anything to just get them used up. This had a fresh kinda scent it wasn’t the most offensive of the bunch which is why it got used up first.
Repurchase: No
Kat Von D Saint Perfume this smells fine nice and light and sweet but I wouldn’t buy or recommend it.
Repurchase: No
Givenchy L’Interdit Perfume I liked this I like all Givenchy Perfumes pretty much. This smelled like raspberries to me but no one else seemed to think so.
Repurchase: No
Commodity Gold Perfume this smelled super sweet and warm I liked it a lot.
Repurchase: Maybe
Vera Wang Embrace Perfume hated this it smelled to feminine and old on me.
Repurchase: No
Simply Belle Perfume this just smelled awful like bathroom potpourri.
Repurchase: No
Haircare (5)
Wen Pomegranate Re-Moist Intensive Hair Treatment this is so pricey that I would never buy this again I will start by saying that. This was a decently nice moisturizing mask made my hair feel really nice. It was great but not $50 great. This pot wasn’t even enough to cover my entire head of hair.
Repurchase: No
Ojon Damage Reversal Hair Serum this is thick and doesn’t smell that pleasant. I don’t think this did anything for my hair at all. I have another and I will use it but it was not that special.
Repurchase: No
Bad, Baby Dry Shampoo Pen this was barely enough for one use and it barely did anything in my hair.
Repurchase: No
Bumble and Bumble Bb. Pret-a-Powder Tres Invisible Dry Shampoo this left such a dull grey cast in my hair and it was really heavy and sticky.
Repurchase: No
Tarte Maracuja Oil not my favorite oil for hair but it does the job. It is much thicker and dryer then I would normally use but since this is a multi-use oil it is great for travel in case I need an oil for anything else.
Repurchase: Probably Not, Would probably grab an argan oil for this purpose in my life
Declutter (13)
Eco Tools Powder Brush I don’t remember the number of this brush I just don’t like this type of brush but the brush itself is fine. I find it too messy to set with it just picks up the powder to inconsistently when you use loose powder and it doesn’t pick up enough of pressed powders for me to use it for like a bronzer it just doesn’t work for me. I feel like if you bake this would be great at brushing off a bake but I don’t bake.
Mac Retro Matte Liquid Lip Color in Fallen Angel this was from the Kabuki Magic Collection in 2017. I wanted to love this. I love the color that bruised vampy berry is my kinda shade and I love the name. But this wears terrible on me it never dries does really it is patchy as hell, it it slides all over my faces and gets on my teeth like just from breathing not even taling or trying to drink something it was just a bad formula.
Butter London Glazen Eye Gloss in Starlight this dried out but it just never worked for me as an eyeshadow or as a highlighter this was just kinda not pigmented and overly glittery.
Ciate London Highlighter in Moondust this is a highlighter that looks super pretty in photos but doesn’t wear well at all. It has a lot of shimmer/glitter in it but it doesn’t hang together well so all the glitter ended up just migrating all over my face which wasn’t a great look. The highlight portion actually stuck around and was visible for hours and nice but the glitter just made it a hot mess.
Peek Beauty It’s Not Eyeshadow Primer (2) this was a cool little duo that has a black and a white primer in it I actually used the shit out of these for awhile but they are shimmery bases and I like matte bases now and probably will never use this again. I had a back up because I did actually use it a lot and my friend and I both got these in subscription boxes and she didn’t want hers. These are really great quality I actually used about half of it up and we all know eye primers are like the makeup product that never dies I just don’t want the shimmer base look anymore.
BH Cosmetics Brushes (4) these are from a giant brush set I bought like right before I started my blog I was like so excited to be able to massively increase my brush collection but the problem with giant sets is you get brushes that you will never use. These are just brush shapes/styles that I don’t prefer so they are going.
Smoke & Mirrors Mini Holographic Stick in Rose Potion this was too light for my skin tone it didn’t show up.
Crown Travel Brush Set these brushes are pretty awful nothing would pick up on them and they applied everything really patchy and messy these are not good quality they feel like they are plastic bristles.
Samples decluttering seven random foil packet samples that I will not use mostly they are foundations in not my shade I only count these as one item. It’s how I let myself be ok with letting go of them even though I know that I will never use them.
