All my monthly trash on display for you to see. :P
1. ProBeauty Essentials Wispies Lashes x2: I honestly feel like these lashes are a bit frustrating to work with because they're so thin and have such thin bands that rather than being easy to apply, they're outright flimsy and bend funny. Due to the way they bend and are stubborn about gluing to the inner corner in a way that flows with my eye shape nicely, I feel like they make my eyes look droopy.
2. equate Coconut Hibiscus Shea Sugar Scrub: I love how gritty this scrub is and how delicious it smells. This has that kind of sweet, sour, floral scent that you'd expect from hibiscus with the coconut note here being extremely subtle. It leaves my skin feeling very soft and smooth and is great for shave prep.
3. pop arazzi Retro Remix Nail Polish: This is a pretty dark olive green that I think was really pretty as an autumnal or holiday nail shade. Unfortunately I am low on this and it's gotten goopy so it is time to say goodbye.
4. Brow Brush/ Metallic Lash Comb: This is just a no-name one I bought off Amazon last year. Unfortunately the ferule has come loose and I worry that any day now this will poke my eye out so I'm parting ways with it.
5. one+other Pro-Strength Nail Polish Remover Dip 100% Acetone: I personally really like these dip removers for quickly taking regular nail polish off my fingers. That said, unless you're willing to invest a long time soaking each individual finger, I just don't think this would be time-efficient for removing gel nail polish compared to doing foil wraps.
6. Dove refreshing cucumber & green tea body wash: I like to use these in place of shave gel because I'm a hairy beast and these last me much longer than shave gel does while still providing me with a nice, smooth shave. This particular one has a nice, refreshing scent but personally I wish the formula was a bit more hydrating.
7. NYX Professional Makeup Baby Powder Faux White Inner Eye Brightener: Unfortunately the end of this dried out completely so my attempts at sharpening the pencil merely ended up with it crushing up into tiny bits. I'm sad because these were such great pencils for the waterline and really did brighten the eye. However, I believe they've been discontinued.
8. Secret Powder Fresh 24 HR Invisible Solid Antiperspirant/Deodorant: I tend to have good luck with Secret both keeping me from sweating and not irritating my armpit skin so that's why I keep getting these. It has a soft, clean, slightly powdery scent.
9. equate Tropical Mango Shea Sugar Scrub: I love how gritty this scrub is and how delicious and sweet it smells; tt has a really yummy sweet/sour mango scent. This leaves my skin feeling very soft and smooth and is great for shave prep.
10. Biore UV Aqua Rich Water Essence SPF 50+ PA++++: I was getting so sad when I started running low on this so of course I had to go and replenish on it because it's my favorite sunscreen. It got kind of gross and goopy toward the end, I assume because I cut the tube open and it dried up a bit.
11. Cococare 100% Natural Peppermint Oil: During this time of year I like to use peppermint oil as a deterrent to keep insects from hanging out in my room. While it really doesn't protect against centipedes, it seems to be effective otherwise.
12. The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane: As always, I love my squalane oil, so I'm always sad when a bottle comes to an end even when I have replenishment. This oil is just fantastic for providing a boost of hydration, being anti-inflammatory, and soothing any redness and irratation, and really smoothing out the surface of my skin.
13. m-61 PowerSpot Moisturizer: This worked alright as a lightweight moisturizer for the summertime but honestly I don't like how thin it is and I'm not a fan of its medicated scent.
14. Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate: I am genuinely so sad at how high the price point on this serum is because it adds such a lovely boost of extra hydration to my skin and just feels like a drink or splash of water. I adore it.
15. Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Instant Glow Moisturizer: I really liked the light, sweet scent of this moisturizer and the pretty glow it gave my skin. This felt really hydrating too which is nice.
16. deal worthy Fresh Scent Body Lotion: I like that this lotion is fairly inexpensive and does a great job of hydrating my legs and feet.
