All my monthly trash on display for you to see. :P
1. Ardell Wispies in 113 Black x2: These lashes are pretty and provide some nice length. That said, I find that they're delicate and bend easily so if you cry with these on or take a nap or something, it will bend the lashes funny and impact their longevity. You have to be careful with them! Otherwise they're easy to work with, have thin bands that bend to the eye nicely and wear well.
2. Dr. Jart Ceramidin Facial Barrier Mask: This mask truly did give my skin a nice boost of hydration wherein it felt juicy. It also gave my skin a pretty glow.
3. Dove deep moisture body wash: I love using this particular body wash during this time of year because, due to it being hydrating, it helps counteract dry winter skin. These provide a really nice glide for my razor and leave my skin feeling soft and smooth without any irratation.
4. Trader Joe's Oatmeal & Honey Soap: This soap is an absolute holy grail for me and one I highly dislike being without! It's fantastic for anyone who struggles with eczema because it's gentle, soothing, and hydrating. It leaves my skin feeling clean and soft.
5. innisfree My Real Squeeze Mask EX in Aloe: This mask gave my skin a nice boost of hydration. It left my skin feeling really soft and smooth.
6. LuLuLun Precious Mask White WF3: Like the other sheet masks I described, this mask gave me a boost of hydration and it did sort of even out my skin-tone. My cheeks were a bit red after using this but overall I feel like my skin had a glowy sort of clarity to it.
7. Biore UV Aqua Rich Water Essence SPF 50+ PA++++: As you know, this is something a of holy grail sunscreen product for me so I'm sad to run out. It's just so lightweight and has this great hydrating formula to it. It makes my skin look smooth and glowy.
8. patchology Soothe 5 Minute Flashmasque: Despite it being a 5 minute mask I do like to leave these on for longer - about 15 min to get the max benefit from it (although, unsure if that does much more) and find that this mask helped to boost the hydration of my skin.
9. papa recipe Bombee Whitening Honey Mask Pack: I'm genuinely unsure if this mask has just dried out or it wasn't meant to be very wet, but either way it was a bit dry. Despite that, it has a delicious honey scent and left my skin feeling soft and smooth.
10. Brushes that are falling apart: Unfortunately the following brushes are starting to break so I'm letting them go:
bubbi Powder Brush
misc Memebox brush
11. Random lip products: The following all have developed an off scent so I'm discarding them from my collection:
12. Physicians Formula Eye Booster Waterproof Ultra-Fine Liquid Eyeliner: As always, I'm so sad that it's time to replace this eyeliner because I love it so much! That said, it did start drying out so it was time for a new one.
13. DUO Brush-On Adhesive with Vitamins: This has also started drying out and getting gunky so it was time for a new one.
14. equate Ocean Breeze Shea Sugar Scrub: I love how gritty this scrub is. Out of the ones I've tried, I'd say this has a masculine scent to it. Like that kind of ocean breeze scent that has a hint of something musky or spicy that gives "men's scent" vibes. This leaves my skin feeling very soft, smooth, and is great for shave prep.
15. equate Tropical Mango Shea Sugar Scrub: I love how gritty this scrub is and how delicious it smells; it has a sweet, juicy mango scent. This leaves my skin feeling very soft, smooth, and is great for shave prep.
16. wet n wild photo focus Dewy Foundation in Rose Ivory: As you might know, this has been something of a holy grail foundation for me for years. It looks very natural and wears well while giving my skin a healthy glow. I am a bit sad to have run out.
17. now essential oils 100% pure grapefruit: During the winter time I like to use these essential oil in my oils diffuser to humidify my room and make it smell nice. I like a citrus scent so I just went with grapefruit this time around. This has a yummy, sweet, juicy interior of a grapefruit scent to it.
18. BROWFOOD Chamomile Makeup Eraser Pen: This is a handy little makeup remover that was fantastic to clean up any eyeliner or eyeshadow booboos. Unfortunately it is beyond dried out so it's time to discard it.
19. L'Oreal Telescopic Intense Lash Length Original Mascara: Honestly it was time to replace this mascara because it's starting to dry out and sort of clumps my lashes together in a funny way. I don't really love the effect it gives - I wish it gave more length and volume than it actually does.
20. Green Pharmacy Rose Water and Almond Oil Facial Toner: This toner has a hydrating, refreshing effect and a nice, sweet rose scent to it. I really enjoyed using it.
21. Christophe Robin No Frizz Care x Style Anti-Frizz Rescue Milk with Shea Butter: I liked this in the sense that it's a lightweight, hydrating hair cream that helped give my curls a boost of shine and hydration. That said though, I didn't find that it was hydrating enough for when my ends got really dry or needed a little extra TLC.
18. LASplash Jelly Eye Pads x15: I found these eye patches alright. They did a nice job of adding a boost of hydration on my under-eye area. However, they did tend to slide down unless I was very conscious of keeping my head back or when I wore a sheet mask along with them. They're also meant to be depuffing, which they sort of are, but the issue I have not just with these but any undereye patch is that, they don't fit directly on my undereye area. Meaning, they go more into the hollow beneath the eye, whereas the puffiness on my eyes is right below the lash-line and that area is left bare by undereye patches so that puffiness is left unaddressed.
Disclaimer: I purchased all of the products mentioned above with the exception of the sheet masks and under eye patches which were a Christmas gift.
