I highlighted in Green things I would buy again, Yellow things I am indifferent about and Red things that I would avoid.
September:
Facial Cotton I use to get a new pack 1-2 times a year. No it is not eco friendly of me, yes I like them more than the eco friendly options, but I tried to switch over anyway this year. Still love these more though.
Farmacy Toner Travel Size By November I knew I liked it enough to buy the full size.
Paula's Choice Toner I don't like this as much as the Farmacy and only now use it when I am traveling. I wouldn't purchase again.
Kate McLeod Solid Moisturizer Great for massages. Lots of different options. I have used this one up and have gotten the pain relief bar in the full size and love that too. They are pricey so it's a splurg item. I seem to have several of those.
SkinFix Cleanser I love the Skin Fix facial moisturizer I do not love the cleaser, but its not bad so I will use it up. Would not buy again.
October:
Eu'Genia Shea Butter Unscented 12oz (Normal Price $55). I did not pay $55- I paid $14 on Fabfitfun. And at that price I think it's worth it. I don't think its $55 good. This is NOT a fully body moisturizer for me. This is very heavy very greasy just for the spots you are super dry. For me thats feet, knees, heels, elbows. I love a thick hand cream but this is too much for my hands. Also I will probably have this 12oz container for the rest of my life. You only need a pea sized amount because its so emollient. If you have really cracked dry skin, you will probably love it, but for me its really more than I need.
Beekman Sunscreen Primer This is an overpriced crappy product. Its not a good primer and left a white cast as a sunscreen and was impossible to get out of the bottle- waste of money
Prep and Prime I do not like this scent as much but couldn't find Noir anywhere for a while so we live with it. This stuff lasts almost a year for me, so I will be dealing with it for a year. My husband LOVES this scent.
Hair Bands Actually the best hair bands in the whole wide world. I will keep buying these. They last so long. Highly Recommend.
Brow Pencil I don't go anywhere without my brows on. This works just as well if not better than Benefit for half the cost (1/4 if you have a coupon or get a sale).
Glow Paradise Advertised as lipbalm in a cream this is sticky icky. It's a giant pass for me.
November:
VIB sale at Sephora means I spent a ton of money (nearly $300) but the thing is I don't regret any of it because this is basically my daily routine.
Farmacy Toner- I love this toner. I've used a travel size and now use the full size. Its great no complaints.
Sephora Favorite Mini-Mascara set- $25 a great deal because you get a coupon for a free full size of one of the minis so basically they are free because most of the full size products are at least $20. This was the clean line. I have several I really like so it will be easy to find 1 to get a full size of, and frankly 5 mini mascaras basically lasts me a year any way.
Sunday Riley A+ retinol Ride or die product. I notice a different in my skin. I struggle with even lowest dose prescription retinol. So I splurg on this and I'm okay with that.
Sunday Riley CEO serum A+ is night and this is day- every day under sunscreen. Again I notice a difference when I don't use it. I have tried so many other Vit C options, and none hold a candle to this.
Faramcy Green Clean Holiday Trio pack- I love this cleansing balm. I've tried others, but keep coming back because nothing breaks down sun screen like this does. And I will use all of them this year and buy another holiday pack next season.
LYS cream Blush in Classy I wanted to try a cream blush I really love this coral color because I don't own anything like it and so far I love it.
Ulta Black Friday Sale:
IT Foundation brush- If I was less lazy and cleaned my brushes more often I wouldn't need as many as I have, but I am lazy so here we are. I only buy them on Black Friday when they are 50% off.
Blockstar Sunscreen: Only works in the summer when I have some color or under makeup as its tinted slightly darker than I am in the winter. But its a good product.
Mini Makeup Erasers I love this- probably top 10 purchases of the year last year. I use them every day and throw them all in the wash 1x a week. They are super easy to travel with as well. Now I get them for my friends for holidays/birthdays.
Mac Paint Pot in Bare Study I cannot believe how long it took me to get on the Paint Pot train. This a mascara and a lip tint and I'm good to go. I can use it on my eyes and as a highlight. It's a ton of product, but its perfect for me and simple no-makeup makeup days.
Fenty Glass Bomb I was really disappointed by this product. It was patchy and sticky and not at all like th other Fenty products I've owned. I would not repurchase it.
Hempz Original. I have SO many moisturizers so it's hard to justify this, but this is my ride or die normal skin day moisturizer and the smell transports me somewhere warm which is all I really want.
Vice Lipstick in Hollyweird Picked it out on a whim. Had just decluttered due to going off multiple pink lipsticks. I only wear the color a few times a year. The formula is nice but I should have picked a better color that I actually get use out of.
Liquid glass I use it 1x a week and Love the way my hair looks. I have a lot of hair- there is a lot of it and its long. When I use this it's not completely glass like but it hypes up my shine tremendously. I feel prettier the day after I use this.
I had a family emergency in November and had to fly home- what started as a 3 day trip turned into 14 so I purchased some things I needed to not feel gross after spending 8 hours a day in a hospital.
Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Travel set. Should have brought my stuff with me, I didn't so I was so grateful to have this.
Ordinary Cleanser It was cheap. It did the job. And it didn't make my skin mad. But it's nothing special and I wouldn't buy it again.
Prep and prime now my detangler lives at home in Minnesota. Honestly not bad so now I don't have to travel back and forth. Now to remember whose house I left it at
FabFitFun box:
Hourglass If Only Lipstick This is my favorite color this is the 2nd one I've owned and I love it I will keep buying refills because its perfect.
Earth Harbor: Glow On kit I paid $14 as an add on item (normally $32). It was a fun way to try some new items, but not worth $32 in my opinion. I love earth harbor and have a lot I like. If you are looking for an easy way to try several items than this is great. If you already know what you like just buy that.
Tone andDrench Sheet mask Set- 2 of each normally $5 each mask. Not worth that price point but they were fine masks.
