I really moved through some skincare last month. I realized that I have a ton of the minis I love so much, so now that I've used up some full sizes I can work on the minis. I also hit pan on a few new shadows (yay!).
~ Viva la Juicy Noir sample - this smelled like the body spray I got bombarded with in high school/middle school locker rooms after gym class. It's a sweet scent, and I would probably like it more if I didn't have that association.
~ Gucci Bloom sample - I loved this, but maybe not on me? Florals make me feel fancy, but they also make me sneeze. I have another sample of this, so we'll see if my opinion changes after that one.
~ Kat von D tattoo liner in "trooper" - This thing lasted me about a year, and was incredible easy to use. I've started to hear some questionable things about Kat von D (as a person, not the brand), so I bought a Clinique liner to replace this one.
~ Belif peat miracle revital eye cream - I thought this actually made my under eyes look brighter. That's not what it's advertised to do though, so maybe it's all in my head. I have another sample of this, so I'll make my repurchase decision after that.
~ Estee Lauder advanced night repair - meh. There wasn't much product in the sample, so it's hard to make a judgment. Would use another sample, but wouldn't purchase.
~ First Aid Beauty red clay cleanser - Made my face feel clean without feeling too dried out. I have a bunch of backup cleansers to go through, but I might repurchase this one after I make it through those.
~ Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip cleanser - This smelled like paint, and I didn't notice any difference in my skin. Would not repurchase.
~ GlamGlow glowstarter moisturizer - Shimmery and smells a little like oranges. I'm currently working through a second DS, but likely will not repurchase.
~ Shiseido sunscreen - This didn't interact with makeup I put over it, but leaves a white cast so it's not the best for a bare face. Might repurchase.
~ Drunk Elephant C-firma day serum - I really like this vitamin C product, it just hurts me that it's so expensive. If I don't find something better at a better price point I would repurchase.
~ Drunk Elephant TLC Framboos glycolic night serum - also liked this, but not as much as the C-firma. Might repurchase, but the cost gives me pause.
~ Kate Somerville exfolikate - nice exfoliant, but expensive. Smells like fall spices, which was nice. Probably won't repurchase.
~ Briogeo curl charisma - Not my favorite of my leave-in after shower curl things, so I would not repurchase. It made my hair feel heavier, and it got greasy a little faster.
~ The Creme Shop face masks - more skintertainment. No need to repurchase these specifically, but they weren't bad.
Bonus pans! (okay, slivers of pan. But I'll take it!)
"Smarty pants" is the new one. I used it as a crease shade, and also on my lower lash line, hence the sliver of pan. This is my oldest palette, so I'm really trying to get some good use out of it. I will have had it 2 years this April.

I've been using "pink cream" to set my primer, so it's about time - considering how soft these shadows are it took me quite a while.
"Smarty pants" is the new one. I used it as a crease shade, and also on my lower lash line, hence the sliver of pan. This is my oldest palette, so I'm really trying to get some good use out of it. I will have had it 2 years this April.
