All my monthly trash on display for you to see. :P
1. Clean Beauty Smoke & Mirrors 6 Pairs of Reusable Lashes with Lash Glue (fourth pair from top): So, what I liked about this pair of lashes is that they had the gelatinous band that molded to my eyes better than the second and third pairs did. I also like their chunky yet wispy shape. However, these lashes still had the tendency to want to pop up at the inner corners and I found that rather frustrating.
2. Dove refreshing cucumber & green tea body wash: As I mentioned, I like using these in place of shaving gel. The reason being I find that the body washes last me two months versus a week with shave gel because I am a hairy beast with sensory issues that hates the feeling of hair on their body. I also find that most of the body washes in this line are hydrating and gentle on my skin. Anyway, this one has, as its name implies, a refreshing scent of cucumber and green tea.
3. Lancome Energie de Vie Dullness Relief & Energy Recharge Daily Cream: I used to absolutely love this moisturizer and was excited when its turn came up to finally use it. That said, I find that for my skin as it is, this is hydrating and smoothing but it's not quite as hydrating as I would personally like. With the seasons changing now, I have dry spots that this was barely enough for. I do love its lightweight gel cream texture, how it feels cooling when applied, and how it has a bit of a smoothing effect on the skin.
4. EVELINE COSMETICS Goat Milk and Collagen Eye Contour Serum: This is a nice, lightweight basic eye cream but personally I like something a bit more hydrating and brightening.
5. wet n wild photo focus Dewy Foundation in Rose Ivory: I love this foundation. I think that its price point is great and accessible. It's lightweight, has buildable coverage, a beautiful healthy glowy finish, and it stands up to humidity really well. I'm actually shocked how well this wears in all weather conditions and highly recommend it.
6. berkley jensen Scented baby wipes Green Tea & Cucumber x2: As I always mention, I like to use these to wipe down surfaces - especially when it comes to wiping down my makeup collection. I also like to remove swatches of makeup with these. We have started keeping a package of these in the restroom as well which my mom takes to the laundry with her to wipe down the tables there or we'll wipe things up in the restroom with these, hence why I have two of them in empties this time.
7. Kose softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil: This makeup remover worked just fine and the bottle lasted me nearly a whole year so that's a plus. That said, I personally prefer the Deep Cleansing Oil version of this because it actually does a more speedy job of removing stubborn makeup as it's meant to be more deep cleansing, and I get to use less of it as well. Also I feel like this bottle had some sort of leak because it always felt greasy and I didn't like that.
8. Equate Coconut Hibiscus Shea Sugar Scrub: I really like that these scrubs are gritty without being overly abrasive and are at an affordable price point. This has a really yummy sweet and sour scent that I really enjoy, it smells refreshing yet floral.
9. LAZY JUNGLE Rice Foam Cleanser: I like how foamy, soft, and hydrating this cleanser is. I think it's a great basic cleanser for anyone with dry skin, as it left my skin feeling refreshed yet hydrated.
10. Clean Beauty Smoke & Mirrors 6 Pairs of Reusable Lashes with Lash Glue (fourth pair from top): These are some kind of papery plastic material that just is flimsy in the sense that it did not want to mold to the eye and loved to pop off at the inner corners especially, but on the outer ones occasionally as well. I think their shape is so pretty but they're a pain in the butt to work with.
11. Isehan Kiss Me Sunkiller Perfect Water Essence Alcohol Free SPF 50+ PA++++: This is a nice, lightweight SPF. My main complaint is that I dislike the scent of this and find it a bit strong. I prefer the Biore UV Aqua Rich Water Essence SPF 50+ PA++++ which I feel is similar, but I like better due to both its texture being a bit lighter and it not having such an intense scent.
12. Ivon Cuticle Pusher: I purchased a three pack of these because my cuticles were starting to look raggedy and they do a really nice job of getting rid of the dead skin but I feel like they're not as invasive as literal cuticle nippers and are easier to use.
13. Givenchy Powder Puff: These are great at apply powder to the face and are very soft. It's time to replace this one.
14. Shiseido Prepare Dermaplaning Razor: It's about that time to replace this razor as it's getting a bit dull.
15. matrix Food For Soft hydrating shampoo: This shampoo left my hair soft, hydrated, silky, and shiny. This also has a really delicious gourmand vanilla scent.
Disclaimer: I purchased all of the products mentioned above with the exception of the matrix shampoo which was a gift from a friend. All opinions are my own.
