- tone body wash in fruit peel -- i didn't feel like it was particularly exfoliating, it felt like the other tone body washes... The scent is very fruity, mostly apple i think. but i liked it
repurchase? maybe - elf essential volumizing mascara -- i got this mascara a ways back because i forgot to pack mascara into my weekend bag, and $2, sure! this is a pretty good mascara on a budget. it's not blow your mind amazing but it worked well for me when I was in a pinch
repurchase? yes but not for now - revlon colorstay concealer in light -- i've had this for quite a while and finally decided to retire it. i even took the stopper out months back! this is a pretty good light coverage concealer
repurchase? maybe - loreal telescopic shocking extensions mascara -- the wand on this guy is kinda interesting, but i enjoyed this mascara.
repurchase? yes but not for now - neutrogena makeup remover wipes in the blue pack-- i bought these because i couldn't remember what i thought about these, and the answer is no. sometimes if i wash my face afterward, it burns my eyes. i have no idea why, but any residual liquid from these wipes will burn my eyes--so dumb. the scent is pretty light and inoffensive.
repurchase? no - benefit it's potent! eye cream mini -- while i do like this eye cream, i think i like tarte's better.
repurchase? nah - simple oil balancing face wipes
[not pictured]
- elf essential eye makeup remover pads -- these are very gentle and take everything off! you do need to let them sit for a bit, but they're inexpensive, great, and definitely better than the simple ones. they don't irritate my eyes
repurchase? yes - pantene moisture renewal conditioner -- i also bought the corresponding shampoo but it was too heavy for my hair, so paul's gradually using it up. this conditioner was otherwise pretty good, just like any other type of pantene conditioner
repurchase? maybe - aveeno positively smooth shave cream -- this stuff is amazing. my skin feels smooth even after a few days of growth--isn't that crazy weird? and i'm not a lotion person, i usually only apply lotion on shave days (or as needed in winter). there's is a light almost undetectible scent.
repurchase? yes! - clear scalp & hair therapy strong lengths shampoo & conditioner -- these stayed at the in-laws' so i didn't use them consistently. i didn't feel like they were particularly amazing but they smelled good and my hair felt clean..
repurchase? nah - tree hut hawaiian kukui sugar scrub -- while i like tree hut sugar scrubs, the scent of this one was ok. it's kinda hard to describe, kinda fruity plus something else..
repurchase? not this scent - rimmel fix & perfect primer -- this primer was pretty good, it doesn't have the siliconey slip that i like; it's more like a lotion-type, like black radiance complexion perfection primer or nyx angel veil
repurchase? nah
august
- rimmel london stay matte powder in translucent -- this is a very nice powder, i stay matte for at least a couple hours longer than with most other powders, but i do develop oiliness toward the end of the day.
repurchase? yes - benefit fake up concealer mini in light -- when this first came out, i thought it was gimmicky, but it is pretty legit. i don't totally advise using it in the under eye area as far as looking greasy, but in areas where i had healing breakouts, the moisturizing part helped a lot.
repurchase? already have; yes - aveeno positively radiant targeted tone corrector -- see my review here
repurchase? i don't need this type of product right now, but maybe in the future - urban decay perversion mascara mini -- see my review here
repurchase? yes, already have - japonesque solid brush cleanser mini -- this is fairly comparable to london brush company's brush cleanser. toward the end, it was a little difficult to use because it came out of the container in a solid outer ring, but otherwise, i really enjoyed using this.
repurchase? yes, already have - olay fresh effects out of this swirled in green apple & jasmine tea -- i really liked the original blue one that they made.. the scent kinda got old after a while, like the fruitiness stopped being exciting..and as i got to the end, the scent itself kinda wasn't as potent as when i first opened it, which was weird.
repurchase? nah - simple oil balancing wipes
- simple eye makeup remover
- urban decay de slick spray
[not pictured]
- caress body wash in vanilla sandalwood
- bbw twilight woods body wash
- pantene nature fusion with avocado oil shampoo & conditioner -- i got these for our trip in may/june because that was what was still in my travel bottles, but i think that they've reformulated it since i've last purchased it (3+ years ago). i thought it was ok and i didn't totally like that it was different from before but i still used it up anyway.
repurchase? no
september
- philosophy purity made simple cleanser mini -- i used to really like this cleanser, it's very gentle and helps remove my makeup. but there's so many newer, cheaper products out there that i'm not going to repurchase when i finish up the other bottle i have.
repurchase? nah - elf makeup remover cleansing cloths -- these actually really irritated my eyes. basically to the same extent as the neutrogena ones. they do remove makeup, but be careful with your eye area. i ended up finishing these for wiping off swatches.
repurchase? no - wet n wild fergie bb cream in light -- i really enjoyed this bb cream. it's very light and blends pretty well. has a distinct scent, but i can't really place it.. it's super inexpensive (~$5?) and worth trying if you're interested.
repurchase? yes - covergirl bombshell volume mascara -- this isn't totally dried up but i'm retiring this one because it's old and i was only ok about it. i love the regular lashblast line, but this was a meh. the #1 side (wand similar to lashblast) was good, i really liked it. it was almost like any other lashblast mascara. the #2 side (normal bristle wand) was ok. i did like how black it was, but it was basically waterproof and super annoying to remove... another thing i didn't totally like about this duo was that it's heavy and bulky. it's kinda awkward to hold...
repurchase? nah - dr. brandt pores no more primer mini -- like i said before, this primer's ok. like it works decent, but i don't like the weird scent it has....and it's super freaking expensive. no thanks. the texture is also bizarre. toward the end, it started coming out weird and stringy and no bueno.
repurchase? no, too expensive - tree hut
- mediterranean sea salt scrub in fig & olive -- this scrub was super annoying to use. the salt was heavier than the charcoaly-liquidy part so it sunk to the bottom. every single time i used it (about once a week before shaving) i had to mix the stupid thing, otherwise, i'd have straight up "tar" goin'. the scent was ok; not really my thing. i really wished that i smelled it in stores before i ordered it online, but it sounded interesting at the time. oh well.
repurchase? no - shea moisturizing body wash in coconut lime -- this body wash was unexpectedly good. the scent's not exactly the same as the sugar scrub but it's still nice. this bottle lasted me for a good while. and despite that this is a shower gel, it was a lot more moisturizing than i thought it'd be.
repurchase? maybe - michael todd jojoba charcoal facial scrub mini -- got this in an ipsy bag a ways back and i never finished it until now. i really liked it but i'm also kinda indifferent about ordering more. it's kinda hard to explain...
repurchase? maybe - benefit
- gimme brow in medium/dark -- this guy's pretty dried up and i've had it for almost a year anyway... it did have a learning curve to it since the wand is a tapered, conical shape. i liked how i was able to fill-in spots with this guy with no issues and it was easy to use, once you got the hang of it
repurchase? maybe - hello flawless me vain? champagne powder mini -- got this in the how to look the best at everything box set and it's alright. not really my favorite. i did get a bit shiny after a while when using it.
repurchase? probably not
- neutrogena deep clean cleanser -- i actually didn't really use this all that much, i didn't like how it smelled.. paul used it up but he didn't really like it either...
repurchase? no - origins ginzing eye cream mini -- while i do like this eye cream, i only really liked the brightening benefits from it. the moisture wasn't enough for me.
repurchase? no - simple nourishing 24 hr day/night cream -- this is a pretty heavy cream, not super scented and makes me feel pampered whenever i use it. in southern louisiana, you wouldn't want to use this for daytime, but nighttime--sure. this is more of a winter face cream for me, not so much any other season.
repurchase? maybe - too faced better than sex mascara mini -- while i do think this is a great mascara, i feel like you can get equally good ones at the drugstore for much less. in general, i'm not typically inclined to buy high end mascaras (unless it's bundled or something..or the perversion mascara!) because of the cost. the wand is kind of unique, it's similar in shape to covergirl flamed out (solid red-orange tube), and in general these two mascaras look very similar on me. so yeah.
repurchase? nah - dr. bronners pure castile soap (liquid) in almond -- smells like sweet almond oil!!
repurchase? maybe for this scent; yes for the line of soaps - alterna bamboo smooth kendi dry oil mist mini -- while this oil mist was nice, it didn't feel like it did anything extra or special to my hair.
repurchase? probably not - trader joe's tea tree tingle conditioner -- really inexpensive conditioner and the scent is a nice wake-me-up peppermint + something..
repurchase? probably - simple cleansing wipes
- clinique clarifying lotion 3
- elf essential eye makeup remover pads
- sonia kashuk eye makeup remover
- folicure shampoo
- pantene beautiful lengths replenishing mask
