All my monthly trash on display for you to see. :P
1. Fourth Ray Beauty Avocado superfood nourishing Mask: I find that this is a nice more deep cleansing mask that doesn't leave my skin feeling dry and tight because while it has clay in it, the avocado and other hydrating ingredients keep it from drying my skin out.
2. reese robert Faux Fur 3D Feather Effect - Amplified Volume lashes: These lashes are beautiful, they really do have this wispy feathery effect that makes them dramatic yet also soft at the same time. That being said, I do find that they have a habit of wanting to come off at the corners.
3. berkley jensen Green Tea & Cucumber baby wipes: As I've mentioned previously, I like using these wipes to remove swatches off my hands/arms when I do them for the blog, I also like to use them to wipe down surfaces including those of my makeup items.
4. wet n wild photofocus Translucent Loose Setting Powder: Overall I like this powder because it sets my makeup in place while still allowing my skin to look and feel like skin. That being said, I do find that if I'm not careful that this can make my under-eye area look dry and sometimes I get creasing in that area despite using this powder there.
5. Living proof. Perfect hair Day night cap overnight perfector: This was a really nice, essentially leave-in conditioning treatment. I felt like it gave the ends of my hair nice hydration.
6. Duo Brush-On Adhesive with Vitamins: My tube was getting all gross and goopy so it was time to replace it.
7. L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara: As with my lash glue, this mascara also was getting gross and goopy so it was time for a new one. Overall, I'm glad to be done with it as I found it made my lashes too clumpy for my taste and the only times it worked ok was when I'd clean off the entire spooly thoroughly with a tissue so it picked up less product. That said, over a few days, it would get all gunky and full of mascara again so I kind of just gave up on it. Unfortunately, I am not a fan.
8. Physicians Formula Eye Booster Waterproof Ultra-Fine Liquid Eyeliner: Unfortunately my tube was drying out so it was time to replace it.
9. Equate Coconut Lime Shea Sugar Body Scrub: I really like how abrasive these scrubs are and this one just smells absolutely delicious, it has such a good citrusy sweet scent to it but isn't overpowering.
10. Aveeno Fresh Greens Blend Conditioner Refresh & Thicken: I really enjoyed this conditioner, I felt like it hydrated my hair nicely and made it feel thicker.
12. reese robert lash addiction faux fur 3D feather effect multi-dimensional lashes: I really like these lashes because they're big enough to give definition to the eye but are soft and somewhat natural-looking, at least for my taste.
13. Nivea Essentially Enriched 48 hr Nourishing Moisture Body Lotion with Deep Nourishing Serum & Almond Oil: Honestly, while this does feel hydrating going on, I feel like even though it's marketed toward "dry to very dry skin" that my skin needs something more nourishing or perhaps with a thicker texture. I find that as soon as the moisture in this evaporates, my skin tends to feel dry again.
14.Fourth Ray Beauty A-HA Moment exfoliating enzyme Mask: I enjoyed this mask because I felt like it did a good job of exfoliating my skin and making it soft without drying it out. This smells nice too.
15. now essential oils 100% pure lemon essential oil: I love this oil for my diffuser because it has a sweet, refreshing lemon scent.
16. Dr. Bronner's All-One Hemp Rose Pure Castile Bar Soap: This was a great soap to wash my brushes with as it does a good job of cleaning them while keeping the integrity of the bristles intact. It has a nice rose scent to it.
18. The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane: If you've followed this blog for any length of time you'll know I absolutely love squalane oil. This is the only product that reduces inflammation on my face to where it isn't noticeable and also keeps my skin soft, smooth, and supple.
19. Dr teal's Shea Sugar Scrub in Prebiotic Lemon Balm: I really like how abrasive these scrubs are and how this has a nice, sweet yet very tart lemon scent.
20. e.l.f. 16HR Camo Concealer Matte Finish: I bought this concealer because of the hype around it and this, at least the matte finish, did not live up to the hype for me. It was difficult to color match myself, which is partially the fault of the Target I bought it at not having mirrors in the makeup section. But additionally, the color names are confusing because I usually am a fair beige in other brands. Additionally, the texture of this was just too waxy, matte, and overall difficult to blend over my foundation. I found it difficult to find a good balance between applying the correct amount of product to get the coverage I was after and being able to blend the product out to where it looked natural and not cakey or thick on my skin. Overall, due to my bad experience with this, and difficulty in color matching I hesitate to try the dewy formulation.
21. Chaos Makeup Strawberry Lemonade Highlighter: Due to this breaking, this was in the sandwich bag in the photo above. This is a pretty pink highlighter with a yellow golden sheen and while I did think it was pretty, it wasn't my favorite and I wouldn't be getting it again.
Disclaimer: I purchased all of the products mentioned above.
