June 2026 Empties

All my monthly trash on display for you to see. :P

IMG20260701122630

1. Jiocolor Wispy Lashes x2These are a pretty wispy shape, I like the alternating short and long bits. I will say that these are very thin and delicate so while they do glue onto the eyelid fairly easily, they're also easy to bend out of shape or to get lash glue all over the band. So, it's important to be careful and gentle with them. 

2berkley jensen Scented baby wipes in Green Tea & Cucumber:  I like to use these wipes to wipe down surfaces in my room whenever anything is dusty, to take makeup swatches off my hands and arms when I take blog photos, and they work to take off my makeup if I'm in a pinch. I like the way these smell and also that they stay damp as long as I keep the packaging upside down. They are plush, soft, and have a nice level of wetness where they get the job done and aren't sopping  wet.

3. Green Pharmacy Damask Rose Ceramides Revitalization Eye Cream: I thought I might like this eye cream because I love the Green Pharmacy Rose Water and Almond Oil Facial Toner , and rose products generally tend to be hydrating. Unfortunately, I find that it's so lightweight that my skin just sucks it up, absorbs it, and then my eye area is quite dry.
 
4. Le Mieux ISO-ROSE HYDRATING MIST: I enjoyed how lightweight and refreshing this mist was. It added a nice bit of extra hydration to my skin, kept me from looking powdery, and also worked well to wet my eye shadow brush with so I could use my metallic eye shadows wet. This had a fine, pleasant spray to it and a refreshing, clean rose scent. 

5Pantene Pro-V Repair & Protect Conditioner: I personally found this to be a nicely hydrating conditioner; it left my hair soft, silky, and shiny. I also really love the way this smells - it has a fruity perfume scent to it. 
 
6. equate Island Coconut Shea Sugar Scrub I love how gritty this scrub is. This has a really yummy, clean coconut scent to it that I just adore! I like that it doesn't go the sweet, gourmand direction but instead has a refreshing scent to it that smells, to me, like coconut water with chunks of coconut flesh in it.  This leaves my skin feeling very soft and smooth, and is great for shave prep.  

7. Korres Renewing Body Cleanser in Cashmere Rose: I'm so sad to have run out of this. It has this super cozy, warming rose scent to it which I adore. It also leaves my skin feeling hydrated, smooth, and silky.
 
8. OPI Nail Lacquer in This Color's Making Waves:  This is a really beautiful sparkly teal nail polish with golden glitter in  it. As you can imagine, loving all nautical and mermaid themed things, I loved this as well. That said, it is down to the bottom and has become very difficult to use so it's time to say goodbye. 

9. one+other Pro Strength Nail Polish Remover 99% Acetone I will say that this works fantastic for quickly removing regular nail polish BUT it took forever when I was using gel. I would have to soak for a good 20-30 minutes before anything came off. I have given up on gel for myself but even so I figured I' give y'all a heads up. 

10. Dove pamper shea butter + vanilla body wash: This is a really nice, hydrating, gentle body wash that leaves my skin feeling soft and silky smooth. I love using this for shaving because it gives my razor a nice glide and makes my skin feel so nice. It has a really soft, soothing, slightly sweet scent too which I found comforting especially in the colder months.

11. equate Tahitian Vanilla Shea Sugar Scrub I love how gritty this scrub is. This has a really yummy, toasty vanilla scent to it. I like that this isn't overly sweet and leans more into that toasty note; I mean it's obviously still sweet because it's vanilla and smells like cookies. However, some vanilla scents are just painfully sweet and this one isn't.  This leaves my skin feeling very soft and smooth, and is great for shave prep.  

12. Cococare 100% Natural Peppermint Oil: Since there are many critters who are out and about in the summertime I like to use peppermint oil as a deterrent to keep said creatures from crawling about my living space. 

13. L'Oreal Paris true match Radiant Serum Concealer:  Truly, I wish the concealer was radiant and serum-like in texture as promised. Personally, it's thicker and more matte than I wanted it to be and feels almost paint-like. I don't love its texture or finish.
 
14. TRESemme Ultra Fine Hairspray: Generally I prefer fine hairsprays because they keep my hair tame but still touchable. My main reason to use hairspray is to minimize frizz in the summertime and static in the wintertime so I don't really need any crazy amount of hold. I like that this comes in a large canister, it lasted me just about a year or so. I think it works well for what I need it to do. 

15.Shik Baby soap with bur-marigold extract: This a really gentle soap  that doesn't aggravate my eczema. I found it to be quite gentle, it has a nice smell, and I like the way it leaves my skin feeling soft and silky

September 2025 Arrivals

Ok folksickles! I'm back to replenishing on things that I'm running out of and buying mostly just necessities.

1. e.l.f. Brow Comb & Brush: Unfortunately, even though I prefer these with metal teeth because these plastic ones inevitably always break, the metal one I had broke off from the ferule and I feared that it would poke my eye out at some point so I decided to pick this brush up since it is fairly inexpensive. 

2. Chique Pro Highlight Brush: My highlight brush also fell apart a while back and I've been experimenting with existing brushes in my own collection but haven't found anything I loved for highlight application. So given that this brush was also fairly inexpensive I decided to pick it up and give it a try. 

3. one+other Pro-Strength Nail Polish Remover Dip 100% Acetone: The version of this I currently had has become all gross to the point it was no longer working well so I've gone ahead and replaced it. 

4. L'Oreal True Match Lumi Glotion in 901 Fair Glow: I really enjoy a glowing primer and I've found I like ones that are translucent without much of a base tone. I find this is a great option because it has a pretty pinkish glow and looks nice under foundation. 

5. Organic Kitchen Reboot Mask & Silent Hour Mask: I'm running low on my masks and given that these were fairly inexpensive I decided to give them a try. 

6. L'Oreal Telescopic Intense Lash Length Original Mascara in Black: Ok so disclaimer, I purchased this mascara not realizing I had already had it in the past and didn't love it. It's just that I really dislike how smudgy my current mascara is so I was so excited to buy a replacement that I managed to forget.

7. Le Mieux Iso-Rose Hydrating Mist: One of my friends got me this for my birthday because she knows I like rose scents and said that she herself really likes this spray. I'm a bit surprised because she's notorious for disliking rose-scented things but I have tried this mist out once and like it so far.

8. Sephora Mini Haul: I was running low on my squalane oil and while I was replenishing I decided to pick up some samples as well. 
Ole Henriksen Banana Bright+ Instant Glow Moisturizer (sample)

9. Biore UV Aqua Rich Water Essence SPF 50+ PA++++: I was near running out of this entirely so I had to go out and replenish on it.

10. The Creme Shop Flexible Fit 3D Faux Mink Lashes in Bossy x3:I had run out of lashes and realized I like spikier lashes; I feel that they look nicer on me - I remember I had these before and I liked the way they looked so I was willing to give them another chance. 

11. Ardell Wispies in 113 x5: I have very vague memories of having these in the past and liking them so I decided to give them another chance. They appear larger than the demi wispies I've bought before so I decided to give them a try. I've begun to feel like, lately, while I used to like wispy lashes, I feel like they don't give my eyes adequate oomph and I want something that feels both natural yet has some drama to it and I'm hoping these fit the bill. 

12. DUO Brush-On Adhesive with Vitamins: Given that I had a bunch of coupons at CVS including $3 off DUO I decided it was a good a time as any to go ahead and replenish on my lash glue.
