Decent bit of products out this past month. Some of these were a while in the making, so I'm happy to be moving things out.
~ Living Proof perfect hair day dry shampoo - I've discovered that I don't like most Living Proof products, but I did enjoy this. I'd use up more deluxe sizes, but I doubt I'll buy a full size in the future.
~ Ole Henriksen truth facial water - This is the old packaging, purchased at TJ Maxx just because of the brand name, not from any real desire for the product itself (mistake). Will not repurchase. I'm still working through another facial spray I bought at the same time.
~ Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream - Y'all know I love a lightweight gel moisturizer, and I already have a full size of this waiting in the wings.
~ Sephora sample of Replica "By the Fireplace" - This has been and is still a favorite of mine, and I'll probably buy this at some point.
~ First Aid Beauty ultra repair face moisturizer - nice, basic moisturizer. It has no scent, it works nicely. Meh. Probably won't repurchase because I'll probably forget about it.
~ Kiehl's ginger leaf & hibiscus firming mask - It's an overnight mask, and I haven't used too many of those. No complaints, but it was nothing to rave about for me.
~ Tatcha the deep cleanse - I've used a deluxe size of this before, and I still don't enjoy it enough to pick it up at that price tag.
~ Clinique mild liquid facial soap - Like most Clinique products for me, it was decent. It doesn't irritate my skin, but I don't love it. I'm not likely to go out and purchase this.
~ Stila glitter & glow "kitten karma" - This dried out very quickly, which is disappointing. I still have a full size in "smoldering satin" and don't currently feel the need for any more than that. One of my Youtubers described these as "glitter for fools" because it's so easy to apply, and I am, indeed, a fool who prefers this product to any loose or pressed glitter.
~ Tom's deodorant - I don't usually put hygiene products in my empties, and I promise I use deodorant on the regular. This is only in here because I straight-up hated it and managed to finish it anyway. I'm trying to make the transition to natural deodorant, but haven't found one that works well enough for me yet.
~ Lush Deep Sleep shower jelly - Again, hygiene product. Only in here because I have something to say. I don't like solid gels in the shower, and I should not buy more. It seems like a good idea until it breaks up into gel chunks as I scrub in the shower. I have another gel like this from Bath and Body Works, but NO MORE.
~ Ole Henriksen banana bright eye creme - It's brightening because it's tinted orange-yellow. Felt kind of slippy on the eye, like it never really sunk in. Would not repurchase.
~ Ole Henriksen oil control cleanser - This was cleansing without making my skin feel tight after getting out of the shower. I'm not sure how much oil-controlling power it had, so I probably wouldn't repurchase this over other face cleansers I've tried or would like to try. Also wasn't a fan of the slightly minty scent.
Not pictured (thrown away on vacation because I didn't want to repack my trash):
~ Briogeo Curl Charisma shampoo and conditioner sample packets: These were okay. We were in Hawaii, so it's hard to say if it was the humidity or this combo that gave me added curls. Don't feel the need to repurchase.
~ Origins mattifying moisturizer foil packet: This worked decently, considering I'm usually a greaseball, even more so in Hawaii (my husband's family lives there so we've been before for visits, not because we're fabulously wealthy and vacation constantly). I would consider trying this again.
