Re: TGIF Beauties! What Did You Use Up This Week 5/11?

@mistriTsquirrel -- all your squirrel pix crack me up, love them!  But, since a squirrel recently shredded the cushions on my porch swing and one deck chair in order to pull out the stuffing to build his nest (and it's a lovely nest, btw), I'm kind of anti-squirrel right now.

 

@Jacie - thanks for the recommendations!

Re: TGIF Beauties! What Did You Use Up This Week 5/11?

Happy Friday beauties! 

 

This week I used up:

 

Sample packet of Dermalogica multivitamin power recovery mask- it's always hard to say if something is going to work with only one use but I liked the way this felt on my face, it didn't irritate my skin at all. I would consider purchasing this in the future if I were in the market for a new mask

 

PSS dupe of Unconditional Love cologne spray 2oz- I have to say I'm kind of disappointed in this product. This only very vaguely reminded me of UL and the matching lotion didn't smell like UL at all. I won't be repurchasing these for sure

 

Derma E Skin Lighten moisturizer 2oz- this was a perfectly fine evening moisturizer but it did nothing to lighten the discoloration on my skin so I probably won't repurchase. I have a Prai Radiance moisturizer that I'm using now and I have a Derma E retinol moisturizer to try instead

 

Lab series for men skincare sample- hubby didn't want to use this so I just used it up on my neck and chest. It actually smelled and felt really good!

 

2 Wet N Wild mascaras- I don't recall which ones these were but I couldn't use either one of them alone, they were awful, but by using the 2 together I was able to make it work. I got tired of fussing with them both so I replaced them with an Essence lash princess

 

Gave away by taking to work: 2 PSS lotions, dupes of Unconditional Love and Falling in Love 8 oz each. I didn't care for either of these so I put them in the bathroom at work. Someone either took them home or threw them out because they were gone a couple days later.

 

Shea Moisture Baobob oil 1.6oz- also taken to work. I just can't seem to make the oils work for me no matter how much I want them to

 

Whew! That's it for me this week, have a great weekend and a happy mother's day to all the moms out there!!!

@aggravated I'm having issues with mascara too.  What's going on with that?  I think my lashes are dry.

Finally polished off an ancient philosophy hot buttered rum 3-in-1.  Oh -- and finished a jar of Lumene Glow Reveal moisturizer.  Opened a new one.

Used up:

Jordan Samuel Plie Treatment Cleanser - I like this and replaced wih the same from the stash.  It has a neat gel to oil consistency and smells yummy. 

 

Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum mini - I used to love this but I'm trying to simplify and use less products.  I found this mini and used it mixed in with my body lotion because it was a little older and didn't want to use it on my face.  It still took a couple of months to finish it.  Not a repurchase.

 

Beauty Blender - I hardly use it but it was over a year old so I figured I should toss it out.  I started using the mini ones to apply eyeshadow on days when I'm in a rush. I have another in the stash because it came in a two-pack with a cleanser.  Not sure if/when I will crack open the new one...

Samples of Hair Food Honey & Apricot shampoo and conditioner. Had high hopes that something so natural would make my hair soft and healthy. Smelled wonderful, but my hair felt like straw, it was so dried out. Needless to say I tossed them.
