I finished off quite a few large items this month, and my skincare minis drawer is looking a little more sparse. My mission to use up all my stuff before I move is coming along nicely (another series of posts, I know).
~ Clinique pep-start hydroblur moisturizer - I remember enjoying this more the last time I used it. I felt like it sat on top of my skin more than it sank in. I've also been using a blurring sunscreen, so I felt a bit too blurred this month.
~ Christophe Robin salt scrub - This was a nice scalp scrub. I couldn't use it too often since it dried out my hair. I also find salt crystals in my ears for days afterward, though that's more user error. I might repurchase the travel size.
~ liquid Beauty Blender cleanser - I didn't want to like an overpriced brush cleaner, but it gets my sponge so much cleaner than the baby shampoo I currently use. I might repurchase at some point.
~ Vanilla Bean Noel lotion - Finally finished the Christmas lotion. Fun fact: this is green lotion. It took me a long time to figure that out. It was a bit too sweet for me, so I don't think I'll repurchase it next year.
~ IT Cosmetics confidence in a cream - I accidentally used this as an eye cream for most of it. It was a little too thick for my face cream needs and an average eye cream. Would not repurchase.
~ Caudalie Vine[activ] serum - This was a nicely glowy night serum, but I don't think I need hardcore anti-aging benefits yet. Would not repurchase at this point.
~ Tata Harper repairative moisturizer - This smelled like herbal paint, and I hated it. It was an okay moisturizer, but I wouldn't repurchase due to the smell.
~ Belif moisturizing bomb - I took this on a trip, and it was the perfect size for travel. I still think I prefer the aqua bomb, but I'll happily use up my other sample of this.
~ Cane & Austin miracle pads - Glycolic acid pads. 2 is not enough to really know how well they work. Probably wouldn't repurchase since I still have First Aid Beauty pads that are similar.
~ Cover FX mattifying primer - I really liked this. I think it made my foundation stay matte a little bit longer. Would repurchase once I get through some more primer.
~ Josie Maran moisturizing sunscreen - It was SPF 47, which seems very specific. It was very thick and smelled like fancy oatmeal. Wouldn't repurchase since it's a bit heavier than what I need.
~ Hourglass Veil Mineral primer - Honestly, I'm not sure what I think about this after using it twice. I have a deluxe sized sample, so I'll probably have opinions after using that.
~ Make Up For Ever ultra HD foundation in R230 - The color match was good, but I think I'd like a bit more coverage.
~ Urban Decay Troublemaker mascara - This had a plastic bristle wand with different types of bristles on each side. I never really found a way to vibe with it, so I would not repurchase.
~ Living Proof perfect hair day in-shower styler - once I figured out the right way to use it (basically the right amount of rinsing in the shower), I really enjoyed the amount of curl/wave I got from this. Not sure if I like it better than my other curly products. Would maybe repurchase.
~ OGX argan oil - There's still product in here, but nothing else would spray out. This made my hair nice and soft after washing. I enjoyed it, and might repurchase.
~ NARS powermatte lip pigment in American Woman - I enjoyed this more than I usually like liquid lipsticks. It wasn't too drying and looked decent when reapplied. Probably would not purchase since I previously decluttered all of my liquid lipsticks.
~ Clinique Happy perfume - This grew on me as I wore it. It's a light floral, and it's almost a bit fruity. I have a few perfumes I like more, so I probably would not repurchase.
~ Fresh life perfume - This was lemony fresh. Smelled too much like a cleaning product for my taste. Would not repurchase.
~ Prada Candy perfume sample - This was very sweet. I'm not sure if it was a cheap sweet or an expensive sweet, and for an expensive perfume I would like for it to clearly be the latter. Would not repurchase, but might use another sample.
