- pixi beauty endless silky eye pen in black noir -- i got this in a recent ipsy bag and this is such a good liner for the waterline! like i was just raving about the it cosmetics no tug liner being amazing... dare i say this is better? it goes on the same as the it liner, but as far as a comparison liner day, it held up and stayed blacker across the waterline by the end of the day. shocked!
- it cosmetics je ne sais quois lipstick -- this is one of those mood or temperature lipsticks...whatever. anyway, i really like how this is more or less a lip balm with a personalized tint. i really enjoy how this doesn't go super bright pink on me like other similar products.
- becca cosmetics shimmering skin perfector in prismatic amethyst -- so it's the year of the unicorn. anyone else noticed this months ago before the whole starbucks drink hype..? anyway, this highlighter is gorgeous. i love how purpley it is! (side note, i'm super interested in nyx lavender steel because it might be a dupe... just saying)
- nails inc. nail polish in rainbow wishes -- i got this in a duo from sephora for $15, which i may have paid for this polish alone.. hmmmm. the other color in the set is ok, i'm not huge into glitters but it did last me 4-5 days -before i removed it- without chipping. anyway, this polish is a gorgeous ...unicorn... color, and i really love it. now the formula is not my favorite. the first time i wore this, i had mixed brands of basecoat and topcoat, and it chipped badly within maybe 2-3 days. pictured above, those chips were within 36 hours and used with nails inc nailkale and kensington caviar topcoat. anyway what i'm trying to also say is that the back of the box says that "they have been formulated with a long wear system". really? LOL.
- gimme organic premium seaweed in teriyaki -- so this was my first time buying this today at target and it was amazing and i need more. i typically don't eat nori unless i'm having sushi, but i get in weird moods where i want to snack on some plain ol nori. usually you find them in either plain or seasoned with salt, but this brand (and a few others in the asian section) had flavors. so i got this one since sea salt is...whatever, and it's sooo yummm. there's large salt grains on it and the teriyaki flavor..mmm!
- loreal pure clay mask
- garnier micellar cleansing water all skin types
- simple cleansing wipes
- beauty secrets pure acetone
- sonia kashuk eye makeup remover
- maybelline fit me foundation in 120
- kat von d liquid liner in mad max brown
- caress endless kiss body wash -- i love the new packaging! it's easier to store upside down now!
- covergirl trublend pressed powder in 2 translucent light
- elizabeth mott whatup beaches -- because of the nature of the size, i used this as a transition/crease shade and it was perfect.
repurchase? on the fence because i'd have to order it... plus i've got a few other bronzers that i'm using as my eyeshadow crease shade. - maybelline the falsies volum express in blackest black -- i got this a long ways back when sams had a bundle of falsies mascaras, and i finally got to this one. i still think i like the flared variety better, but this was still good.
repurchase? prolly not - almay get up and grow mascara in blackest black -- i don't recall when i bought this (it's been quite some time), but i was super sad when i went to use it. the bristles were kinda funky and smooshy looking toward the 'top' where it connects to the handle. after a couple pumps (no i don't pump my mascara..) the bristles just kinda didn't come out with the rest of the wand... yeah.......
repurchase? yeah - beauty & pinups fearless hair rescue masque -- this was an ok hair mask. it was more or less conditioner consistency than a thick cream, which i typically like. the scent was ok, a little perfumey for my taste, but it did the job.
repurchase? nah - schwarzkopf gliss hair repair ultra moisture shampoo & conditioner -- whoever thought this packaging was a good idea obviously doesn't wash their hair. the opening for these things is so skinny it's awkward to dispense. but enough of that, these are samples. i thought these were pretty good. i'm not a moisture shampoo type of person, but these didn't get funky oily greasy on me, which was awesome. otherwise, they didn't wow me either.
repurchase? no - ecotools shower pouf -- i got this a ways back in a subscription box, either walmart or target... anyway, i wouldn't wish this thing upon my enemies, it's that bad. yeah maybe it's more eco-friendly, maybe it has recycled plastic or something... but this is not soft. even holding it in your hands before your first use, you can tell it's not soft. then when you actually go to use this thing, it's sooo freakin abrasive. like you know i like my scrubs.. this is worse to the point where it's almost painful to use.
repurcahse? NO - soapbox shampoo and conditioner in coconut -- these are a pretty decent duo. would i go out of my way to buy it, no i don't think so. but i do think that these worked well and they're for a good cause.
repurchase? nah - soapbox body wash in sea minerals -- this smells super nice. it's like a weird mix of floral and beachy kinda... anyway, i'm not sure i'd go out of my way to buy this either, but it was nice while it lasted.
repurchase? nah - theorie marula oil transforming hair serum -- this was a nice hair oil. it smelled nice, and it wasn't heavy but i also wasn't really wowed by this either.
repurchase? nah - ulta
- bath fizzes -- like i said last time, they were not even ok. i did try one as a shower tablet instead and it was better, but still not that great.
- verbena & lemongrass shower tablet (used 1, comes in 4 packs. clear unlabeled wrapper not pictured) -- this was almost perfect. it smells super amazing and higher end (like lush). i generally take 7-10 minute showers, and this lasted about 7 minutes, which was perfect and it smelled great!
- blooming berries sugar scrub -- i think i'd repurchase this scent.
- beauty kitchen hether marianna collagen gel lip mask -- i didn't think this did anything. it didn't fit right because of the weird shape of the slit in the middle and it didn't want to stay put. it may have been working some sort of magic toward the end, but i was done with it.
repurchase? NO! - masqueology collagen hydrogel gold mask -- i got this at walmart for like $2..gold you say? it was more like a clear gel mask with gazilions of teeny tiny gold leaf flakes embedded in it. anyway, it didn't feel like it was doing much and didn't stay well on the face. it was a bit odd that they included the cutouts of the eyes and mouth...but i tossed them. anyway, it felt kind of dry and uncomfortable about halfway through and i had to take it off. it had an older floral type scent..not my favorite.
repurchase? no - yes to tomatoes clear skin detoxifying charcoal paper mask -- i don't feel like this really did much afterward. while wearing it, it was super tingly just like the package said, to my disbelief. but i was pretty indifferent after taking it off.
repurchase? nah - soo ae tea tree mask -- this was actually a pretty nice mask -- i think i used one of these before and forgot how i felt about it. maybe it's a mood thing, but i liked it more this time than last time. i'm pretty sure i was indifferent about it last time. anyway it did sooth my irritated skin and felt pretty good.
repurchase? yes - nots soothing multi gel mask -- this was very cooling at first, then became whatever toward the end as it warmed up. this was actually a cotton or paper mask with gel on it, which was kind of weird because when i went to take it off, there was a weird glob of gel on my face...
repurchase? maybe - bio belle #stay gorgeous facial mask -- this was super saturated, like to the point where it was dripping. i really like fiber masks because they're a lot thicker and feel nicer on the skin. the serum felt cooling and moisturizing.
repurchase? maybe - tony moly golden mushroom sheet mask -- this was super saturated, had a light and unpleasant scent like acetone, but it was very relaxing and moisturizing. and i woke up refreshed the next morning which like never happens.
repurchase? if i could find it online somewhere, i would! i think i got this from ulta, but they don't sell it anymore. - tony moly be happy & good luck sheet masks from the my shea sheet mask set (from christmas time last year, $7.50 for 5) -- i can't really distinguish these two if there even was a difference.. these were noticeably thinner sheets than their others, but they super saturated and pretty near dripping as i pulled them out the packets. anyway, these felt really nice on the face and felt fairly moisturizing afterward.
makeup graveyard: elf lip scrub, this thing's gettin kinda gross, and i have newer ones.. yeah..
repurchase? i got the grapefruit one to try now, so maybe not? not sure.
not pictured: pantene ultimate 10 bb cream shampoo -- this was an ok product. something about it (that i can't place) was not what i normally expected from pantene and made me think it was meh. like my hair felt clean, but it also tended to get oily... idk. maybe it was too moisturizing or something. i really can't figure out what it was about this stuff that was whatever.
repurchase? nah
