I finished one makeup item, and was able to move out more skincare and perfume samples. Slow but steady progress!
(top row, left to right)
~ Olly x Sephora Collection skin detox gummy vitamins - I know what you're thinking, yes they're vitamins not makeup/skincare/etc. BUT I bought them from Sephora during the sale and they came out of my beauty budget, so they're going in the empties! I didn't see any results from these (color us all surprised), so I would not repurchase.
~ Drunk Elephant C-Tango eye cream deluxe sample - This was nicely hydrating for the daytime, but I didn't see any thrilling results so I don't think I'd repurchase at this time (so expensive), but I'd happily use another sample.
~ First Aid Beauty acne clearing charcoal cleanser - No acne improvement, okay cleanser but not my favorite. Would not repurchase.
~ Philosophy purity cleanser foil - I keep acquiring these and thus keep using them up. No complaints, no raves. I still have another foil kicking around I think.
~ Tocca "Stella" sample - too sharply floral on me, would not repurchase
~ Jo Malone "Honeysuckle and Davinah" sample - also pretty sharp on me, and I have another sample I'm working on for June.
~ Viva La Juicy sample - The juicy fragrances always smell nice and light and wear well on me. Unfortunately, they also remind me of middle and high school when everyone would reapply perfume after gym class.
(bottom row, left to right)
~ ABH brow wiz "medium brown" - glad to have this moved out! It took about a year, and I've already repurchased its' replacement during the Ulta 21 days of beauty.
~ Mario Badescu buttermilk moisturizer - This was light enough to be a daytime moisturizer for me, and I think the small amount of acids in it helped to brighten my complexion. I wasn't expecting to like this, but I would consider repurchasing it!
~ Charlotte's Magic Cream foil - Ain't nothing magical enough for $100+; besides that, it was a decent overnight moisturizer. Would not purchase a full size, but might consider if it's available as a point perk.
~ Briogeo Scalp Revival shampoo - I liked this a lot more before my move last summer (the water in my new location builds stuff up in my hair and makes it disgusting), so I had to slog through the last bits of it. Probably would not repurchase while we're living in our current area just because it doesn't agree with my hair anymore.
My plan for June is to continue working through my sample backlog. Since I've cut back on my purchasing, I'm starting to see a decrease in the size of my previously-overflowing skincare storage. It will be nice to intentionally acquire skincare for a change.
