Random Beauty Declutter - 2023

 Hello, everyone! How was your weekend?

I've been slowly going through all of my makeup/skincare/haircare/etc. collection and decided to try to declutter a bit more products that I'm either not going to use or have too much of. These are the products I'm getting rid of for now!

Redkin Blondage Shampoo

I used to have blonde hair, but I decided to go back to dark brown. Obviously, I no longer need this anymore.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Bronzer in Sun Kissed

I hate the color of this bronzer. It pulls VERY yellow on my skin tone, and just looks weird on me.

Michiru Hair Regrowth Treatment

Not worth it. The instructions say to apply this twice a day, but it makes my hair look and feel greasy and disgusting. No amount of time or dry shampoo made my hair look cleaner after applying this. I'd rather have slightly thinning hair than hair that looks nasty.

Laura Mercier Radiance Foundation Primer

This is very glowy. Too glowy. My skin looks like an oily mess when I use this primer.

Cle De Peau Correcting Cream Veil

This one hurts to let go of. It's my first Cle De Peau product, but it doesn't work with my skin type. It clings to my dry patches and sinks into my pores and makes them more pronounced.

YSL Touche Eclat Blur Perfector

I do like this, but I never reach for it anymore. My skin used to be pretty oily, but it's more normal now. Even if I do see some oil on my face, I'd rather use a blotting sheet instead of this because it disrupts my makeup.

Philosophy Amazing Grace

This came from a set of 3. I like this perfume, but I have so many perfumes now and I'm trying to only keep the ones I love and will use often. I'm keeping the other 2 versions of this, but I think my mom will get more use out of this one than I will.

It Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness Serum

I didn't even get around to taking a picture of this product because I'm not sure if I'm supposed to talk about this yet, but I'm going to. I received this free from BzzAgent for review. I was instructed to use this twice a day for two weeks. I used this 3 times and stopped because it broke me out in a ton of white heads all over my face! I don't have sensitive skin, and I've used a lot of It Cosmetics products before with no issues. I would much rather have some redness that I can cover up with makeup than a face full of white heads.

 That's everything I'm decluttering for now! Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a great week!

New Beauty Products!

 Hi, everyone! How was your weekend?

My son started preschool last week! I can't believe it's already September and the school year has started. I am ready for some cooler weather and all the Halloween festivities though. We're going to Halloweentown in St. Helens for the first time this year and I'm so excited for it! What are you looking forward to for fall? Anyway, here are the items I picked up/received recently!

Hair claw clips

I finally caved and made a purchase with Temu. This is one of the items I picked out. I should have read the description because I thought these were going to be bigger, but they're still really cute.

Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes

 

I bought the big box from Costco but forgot to snap a photo before I removed the packages from the box and broke down the box.

Knock-off Vaseline Lip Therapy

 

This is another product I ordered from Temu. I swear the package said the brand name Vaseline in the photos, but this clearly doesn't. They come in a variety of flavors, so I'm still excited to give them a try.

Killian Paris Love, Don't Be Shy perfume sample

 

This is from Influenster. It smells really nice, but I'm a bit bummed that they sent out a sample instead of a full size bottle. Regardless, it smells amazing!

Women's Michiru

 

This was also sent to me from Influenster. This is for hair growth. I used this for about two weeks (it contains 1 months worth) and I stopped using it. The instructions say to apply this to the scalp twice a day. The problem with that is this leaves your hair looking greasy af! No amount of time or dry shampoo made my hair look better after applying this product. Like I said, I stopped using it, and I wouldn't recommend this product.

KVD Beauty Tattoo Liner

 

I also received this (and the next KVD Beauty product) from Influenster for review. I've been using this liner for years and I love it! It's my go-to liner and I always repurchase it.

KVD Beauty Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Moth Orchid

 Again, this is from Influenster. I don't love liquid lipsticks, but this was actually very comfortable to wear, and the shade is beautiful!

Nars Power Matte High Intensity Lip Pencil in Cruella

I received this for free from BzzAgent for review. I already have this shade in their discontinued lip pencil and I love it! This is super creamy and glides on like a dream. It dries quickly but it doesn't feel dry and uncomfortable on the lips.

Lilly Lashes in Mykonos Lite

I've never tried this brand for lashes before, and these were on sale so I decided to pick them up to give them a try.

 

Urban Decay Naked Heat Eye Shadow Palette

This was on sale for half off, and I've been on the fence about purchasing this for a very long time. The shades are nice, and I'm excited to play around with it.

Sephora foundation freebie

I'm still in the market for a holy grail foundation, so hopefully this pack of samples will help me find an amazing one!

 That's everything new for me for now! Thank you for stopping by, and have a great week!
