winter favorites will be up in a few days. one of the items is a snack that needs replacing first! mmmmm! >w<
january empties
- eyeko skini mini eyeliner -- i really enjoyed this liner. it didn't transfer after i applied it and it was nice and dark. my only complaint is that the tip got a bit sticky after a while and wouldn't glide very smoothly. even if i tried to blot it off...it was kinda meh. it actually still works, but this tip es no bueno.repurchase? nah
- macadamia natural oil healing oil treatment -- ever since i got the pump bottle, i've been just refilling it with these smaller bottles. i kept getting them with my ulta reward points.repurchase? yes, definitely!
- essence nail art drying drops -- these have been great. i'm so spaztastic whenever i paint my nails. typically i ruin at least one of them while they're still drying, so this works wonders for me. these are about $3 compared to $12 for opi's. purchased at ulta.repurchase? yes
- freeman hydrating paper mask -- while i really like how my face felt after using this mask, i'm not sure if i'll buy any of their paper masks anymore. unless i cut the eye holes bigger or something, idk. but the eye holes aren't placed in a one-size-fits-all fashion. they are cut into perfect circles. the circles are so small these sheet masks cover the outer 1/3 of both of my eyes. and that's extremely annoying if this mask is on my face for 10 minutes and i want to do stuff but i can't see.... >.>repurchase? undecided
- white barn leaves candle -- while i do love this scent. i'm not sure if i'll buy bbw candles anymore because cbv candles are so much cheaper per ounce and she has all her gazillion scents year-round as opposed to this seasonal candle.repurchase? undecided
- simple cleansing facial wipes -- i love these wipes. they get the majority of my makeup off. eye makeup takes a little bit more work, but these wipes don't irritate my face or eyes.repurchase? yes!
- sephora daily makeup brush cleaner -- while this brush cleaner is great for on the go spot cleaning, it doesn't dry fast enough to use the same brush again. but it is fairly inexpensive if i'm traveling or something and need a quick cleaning.repurchase? probably
february empties
- briogeo don't despair, repair hair mask -- this came in my january ipsy bag. while it was a nice sized sample and i got about 4 uses out of it...it was not, in my opinion an effective hair mask. it felt like i was using any ordinary daily conditioner. and for the price ($26/5oz jar), hell no, i'm not repurchasing this stuff. as i said in my janurary hauls post, you can get a 20oz bottle of an ion hair mask at sally's for like $8. and it actually is a moisturizing hair mask. don't waste your time with this one.repurchase? no
- simple cleansing facial wipes
- simple oil balancing facial wipes -- i liked the scent of these...i can't place it though. it reminds me of something.... i'm not sure about how effective they are at oil balancing, but maybe? or maybe they have some toner in them...?? i have no idea. (the scent could possibly be their toner, which is only ok..)
repurchase? maybe - black radiance face primer -- i think it's mostly that i'm used to and prefer silicone-based primers that i didn't really like this one, but i do feel like it was effective. my makeup was never patchy and stayed on for at least 12-15 hours when i used this.
repurchase? nah - vitafusion women's gummy-vites -- these are so good. if you are/were a fan of fruit snacks--the not totally artificial tasting ones--you'll love these. that said, make sure you only consume the daily dose. hahaha.
repurchase? yes - clinique ddm gel -- ever since i moved to college i've used this stuff almost religiously. when my mom got me started with a clinique regimen, she got me the lotion--which maybe was the only thing out at the time? and i wasn't huge on the scent of the lotion. yes yes yes, hypoallergenic and unscented-ish. but no, i don't like the smell of it. probably my second year of college or so, i got a sample of the gel and i've been using it almost religiously since.
repurchase? yes
march empties
- urban decay perversion eye pencil (travel size) -- you likey my little nub of a pencil? lol. it's too hard to grip in the pencil sharpener anymore >.<
repurchase? not for now, i have back-ups - psssssst dry shampoo mini -- while it does go on white if you apply too much in one area, the white color disappears quickly. has a fresh scent and my hair feels great and slightly more volumized
repurchase? yes, unless i like a different one more (i have a few others i'm trying out right now) - clinique butter shine lipstick in delovely -- this actually isn't a recent empty. it's been at the base of the bullet for a long time now; i finally decided to scoop out the remains into a z palette pan. i have another that i opened after this one got to the base to keep in my bag and at home, i was using a lip brush to get to the remains. look at how much was still in there! that pan is nearly filled to the brim!
repurchase? probably, but not for now - another pack of simple wipes!
- soap & glory flake away body polish -- i really enjoy this scrub (especially the scent!), but it's kinda expensive and the minis only last me about two uses..... >.> [pretty sure i bought this so i could get a gift with $25 sephora purchase type deal. ^^; ]
repurchase? probably not - body shop olive body butter -- years ago, when i originally saw this, i was like how can olives smell good as a fragrance..? i was wrong, and this is amazing.
repurchase? yes, already have! - [not pictured] l'occitane amande shower oil -- i got this because the concept sounded so bizarre. it's body wash in oil form. i think i was most surprised that it foamed a bit, and didn't feel like i was using an oil. it felt more like a very thin body wash. the scent was nice and light. my issue with this is that it's pretty expensive and it doesn't feel as effective as i would like.
repurchase? probably not - [not pictured] tree hut sugar scrub in tropical mango -- i love this scrub, it's relatively inexpensive, effective, and smells nice!
repurchase? yes - [not pictured] tone body wash in soothing (oatmeal & shea butter) -- i really liked this..a lot. after my bbw stash (which, i haven't bought any in like 3+ years) is gone, i'm sticking to this brand or maybe the caress body washes. i mean, tone is like $3 for a 18oz bottle. come on!
repurchase? yes! - [not pictured] secret clinical strength deodorant (light & fresh scent) -- i've tried so many different deodorants and this one is among the best for louisiana heat and humidity. i've tried natural ones, ..crystal ones..., gel, nearly everything, but this one works best for me. i generally use these in the non-winter months because it's like 80° here for like 9 months of the year, and in the winter months, i'll generally use a non-clinical antiperspirant.
repurchase? yes
