There comes a time in every girls beauty routine where you realize having 6 open body washes and shampoos is kind of goo hoarding. This summer I embarked on a quest. A quest in which I try to finish as many products as I can before I move back up to North Carolina for the coming school year.
I managed to get an impressive stash even though I accidentally threw a couple things away (oops!). Here we are with final impressions on everything I managed to use up before it all goes to the dump!
Boots Expert Sensitive Cleansing and Toning Facial Wipes:
I picked these up one day at Target, mainly because they were cheap (around $6) unlike the ones I normally get (around $12). Now, I have sensitive skin, it breaks out at any given switch up in my skincare routine. which makes me weary to try things, but these, these are great! They got my make-up off fabulously and without irritating my eyes or skin! I would definitely get these or the make-up wipes by Burt's Bees if you're looking to try a new facial wipe!
St. Ives Apricot Scrub:
I have had this stupid face wash for so long I'm quite sick of the scent at this point. I used to think I had oily acne prone skin and would wash it with this like 500 times a day. Alas, I don't have oily acne prone skin like this is recommended for, I, instead, have dry sensitive skin. I've been using this on and off to finish it up. I like this as a scrub in the shower first thing in the morning. Would I go running out to buy this again? I'll probably pick it up one day again, but, at the moment, I'm happy with the skin products I'm using.
Proactiv Refining Mask:
Another product I've had for ages. When my skin is giving me trouble I'll leave this on for about 10 minutes and my skin will be much improved the next morning. I don't think you can get this without being on Proactiv, but it's nice for what it is.
Mane 'n Tail Shampoo:
I got this in hopes of making my hair grow super speed fast and be really soft! This shampoo has a mild scent which you can barely smell after you get out of the shower, but it's still kind of there. This shampoo never gave me issues with product build up and it's dirt cheap! I would definitely go out and buy this when I run out of shampoo!
Biolage Matrix Deep Conditioner:
I've had this for about 3 years. I never really liked this deep conditioner, it worked about as well as a normal conditioner did in my hair (which is why it took me so damned long to use). I wouldn't recommend this or buy it again. I've heard great things about other deep conditioners so I would prefer to look into that over this.
Nice 'n Easy Color Condioner:
This came with my hair color and I like these little conditioners that they give you! They always make my hair nice and silky looking after I use them. I definitely use each one up when I color my hair!
Bath and Body Works Cherry Blossom Body Splash:
I got this for my birthday a year or two ago and had no issues with using this constantly. I feel like scents last me an obnoxious amount of time, but I'm more than okay with it! This is a light floral scent that I would typically wear on a lazy day where I went to class in norts and a t-shirt.
Bodycology Sunkissed Citrus Body Wash:
I picked this giant bottle of body wash up at Target last summer because it is a dupe for my favorite B&BW scent (Tropical Passionfruit). It lathers up quite nicely and makes me smell like awesome! I would definitely buy this again if I saw it.
Skintimate Shaving Gel in Tropical Splash:
This smells like basically all of the Skintimate shaving products I've tried. it works nicely when I'm shaving my legs. That's all I really have to report on this.
Jaqua Body Butter in Marshmallow Cream:
This was a thick stiffer body butter which smelled like frosting to me. It took alot of work to make it sink into the skin, so I got down to the bottom and basically gave up on it because I didn't like the texture or feel of this lotion. (At least I finished a lotion, which I'm sure I've never ever done before).
Crest 3D White Luxe Toothpaste:
This toothpaste doesn't really whiten my teeth, but I like the taste and feeling it leaves my teeth with.
Toothbrush Pack:
I'm only putting this in because I feel like i have about a hundred toothbrush packs under my sink and have never emptied one before. BRUSHING YOUR TEETH WITH A NEW TOOTHBRUSH IS AWESOME, OKAYY?
Listerine Whitening Strips:
These dissolve on your teeth and hurt and are disgusting like icky, no, I hate you, good riddance.
Rembrant Whitening Rinse:
This stuff tastes like hydrogren peroxide, but it's nice if you can stand the taste of that nonsense.
Bath and Body Works Coconut Leaves Candle:
This was a nice mild summery candle that made my room smell nice. It was a typical coconut scent!
B&BW Island Margarita Candle:
Holy, I love this scent. If everything I owned could smell like this all the time! (I have the car smelly thing in this scent in my car). I love love loved this candle and was quite sad when it died!
OOFFFF. I finished up a lot of crap, I'm proud if you made it to the end of this post.
Time for this Panda to go work on packing!
