Im very proud of the amount of hoarded products ive been using up the past few months, especially lately. As you can tell, im been focusing mainly on body things as I have a ton of half used bottles sitting around of things ive either not particularly liked or forgot about.
Arbonne Aromassentials Awaken Sea Salt scrub
I wasnt big on this. I havent tried many scrubs, but I know I wouldnt want to use this one again. It was a bit gritty to use on anywhere but the legs really as it left the skin red. It also left an oily residue on the skin that unless I washed off would make me feel slimy and gross.
Calgon Take Me Away! Tropical Dream body lotion
Let me start off with my hate for the scent of this. In the store it seemed nice, but once I used it it kinda gave me a headache. For lack of a better description, it smells tropical. Not fruity like most scents I go for, but definitely think the name fits well. Im not a fan of lotions really, as I dont feel they do much for ading moisture to my skin compared to a butter, but for hot summer days theyre what I tend to reach for. But I didnt notice that this did a whole lot and the scent was always throwing me off using it. I ended up dumping the last quarter as I couldnt stand to look or smell it any longer.
L'oreal Age Perfect Day Cream
Not gonna lie, I was actually using this at night. I found it too thick and take forever to sink in the skin for day use. Also before anyone asks why im using an anti aging product at 20, this was left at my house by my aunt that doesnt live in canada, so I thought id take the liberty of finishing it up rather than just letting it sit around unused or get tossed. I do think this moisturises, but does nothing for dry skin. Lucky I finished this up in time to switch to my richer creams for winter to help my dry patches. Cant say it turned the clock back on my skin aging as I didnt really see anything different, nor do I think I would.
Advil tablets
Random one. But lets face it, no one feels beautiful when theyre in pain. My wisdom teeth were coming in and giving me horrible jaw pain and this was the only thing that got me through the days..and nights.
NutriMin C RE9 Restoring Mist Balancing Toner and Reactivating Facial Serum Day & Night
Ive had these samples sitting in the medicine cabinet for I dont know how long. Decided to use them up and see if they did anything. I was using the serum for quite while consiering the size of the package. I enjoyed using it and think id like to use a serum on my skin more often, just not this one. The 'mist toner' I thought was kinda funny. Since you cant mist it on the skin it was kinda hard to use as its hard to get basically water out of the package without spilling too much out and having only 2 or 3 uses total compared to everything else. Bit of an unthoughtout design there.
Rimmel Lycra Lash Extender mascara
My mom uses this all the time so I thought id try it out. Its not bad actually, its nice and black, gives length and some volume to my lashes, but wasnt my favourite. Ive nevr heard anyone talk about this one though which I find odd as its actually a pretty decent mascara.
Annabelle Liquid Liner in blackout
Holy grail liner. Ive been using this stuff for years and always go back to it. Its fault proof. Easy to use having a nice felt tip that makes making any sized line quick and painless. Using this ive gotten doing my liner down in probably under 30 seconds, which is quite a difference in comparison to my attempts with the gel liner I was using from maybelline. Although I like that too, I just find this easier.
Matrix Biolage Exquisite Micro-Oil Shampoo and Conditioner
These are new from the Biolage range, along with a hair oil which you will see in a future post. These contain moringa oil, which I can honestly say ive never heard of, that are supposed to replensih the hair leaving it silky, smooth and shiny using a lightweight formula to avoid build up on the hair. Its paraben free if thats something you look for in a product. I cant say a whole lot about this as you cant get a real feel for how it works with such small amount of product, but they seem decent. The oil however is awesome.
Etre Mandarin Hand and Body Lotion
I got this in one of the kiosks in the mall years ago in a set. The scent is lovely and citrusy. It contains natural humectants and antioxidant botanicals; orange. grapefruit and witch hazel with marine collagen and minerals mined from the dead sea. Said to be a natural source of beauty from the times of king solomon and cleopatra! It was a decent lotion. Nice for spring and summer when your skin isnt too try, and the scent is nice without being too strong and overpowering.
mini Body Shop Body Butter in candied ginger
I got this last christmas a gift, and not gonna lie I hate the scent. It took until now for me to use because of this. I was excited to try a body butter, but not so happy that the scent made me wanna plug my nose. Its not something id pick for myself and im glad it was only a small size of I dont think I would of made it through the whole tub. I was using a fair amount of this after showering in hope to get through it fast, but because of that I think I used a bit too much and it wasnt sinking into the skin very well, where if I touched my chest for example, I could feel a residue still on the skin. Id love to try a different scent, but as for now im glad to be rid of this. Now I just have the matching body wash to use up..
