Soooo I’m bored as hell (duh) and figured I may as well do one of these posts even though I’m not currently doing anything similar to a project pan lol
(After all, what’s the point of wearing a full face of makeup if I’m not going anywhere?!)
1 - New Skin Liquid Bandage - This works fairly well for minor cuts and scrapes. My one gripe, aside from the super strong smell is the fact that it seems like the liquid bandaid gets stuck in the grooves of the neck, so once it gets to about halfway, it becomes a bitch to open, if it opens at all.
Item 2 - Charcoal Makeup Removal Wipes - I think I got these at Ross? They’re not super expensive, which is a plus, especially as they came in a multi-pack. They do the job well enough, so I’d likely grab another pack if the world ever starts back moving.
Item 3 - Benefit They’re Real (mini) - Soooo. This did NOT impress me. For being a ‘luxury’/’prestige’ brand vs being a regular drugstore brand, this really didn’t wow me at all. I don’t think I’d repurchase, as while I got it in a gift set from Sephora, for the price of a mini I could easily get 1-2 fullsized drugstore mascaras that do the job three times as well.
Item 3 - Kiss StripLash Adhesive with Aloe - So this one I actually had to yeet early because it started to smell funky. I had about half left, which just goes to show that I REALLY didn’t use this much. A good part of this was because the squeezy-tube style doesn’t give very good product control, so it would ooze out blobs that were too messy when applying the lashes. Wouldn’t buy this again in a tube, perhaps if it had a brush applicator.
Item 4 - Charcoal Body Scrub (Lavender) - I bought this as part of a multipack at Ross a while ago, and finally got around to using it. I felt it was a little too rough on my skin, and the scent wasn’t all that amazing. Probably wouldn’t repurchase.
Item 5 - Victoria’s Secret Cloud Wash (Love Spell) - I bought this on sale a while back, and while it smells wonderful, I’m not really a fan of foaming bodywash, which I found out while using this out. Personally, I prefer a gel bodywash. Would repurchase this scent, but not this type of product.
Item 6 - BPOO Color Crazed Conditioner - So the scent on this was pretty nice, almost like a tropical pineapple type deal, and it did leave my hair feeling rather nice afterwards. I might repurchase in the future, but truth be told, this came from a discount outlet near my school, which means there’s a good chance that this product has been discontinued.
Item 7 - Sally Hansen Insta Dri - I have a love-hate relationship with the Insta-Dri nailpolish line. On the one hand, I love them since they’re great for when you’re on the go - they dry fast, and give reasonably opaque color in one pass. On the other hand, they do seem to be much thicker than most of my other polishes, leading to them peeling/chipping faster than a thinner polish would. and they also seem to dry out faster.
That being said, I would probably repurchase one of these (not necessarily black, but a color that’s more ‘versatile’ like a medium-dark red, a nude, or a pink) to have on hand for ‘emergencies’ where I can’t show up with bare nails (my nails tend to get stained easily from dark polishes).
Item 8 - Burts Bees Citrus Face Scrub - The plus - I enjoyed the scent of this. For some reason, it reminded me a bit of an Indian Restaurant? I’d honestly enjoy like... a scented candle similar to this, or a room spray. The negative - I don’t feel like it did a whole lot for my skin, or got it all that clean/exfoliated. I don’t think I would repurchase.
Item 9 - SASHAPURE Curl Cream - I really enjoyed using this - it smelled nice and seemed to do a good job on making my hair curl nicely. My main issue with this was that it was SUPER easy to go overboard on, making my hair ‘crunchy’, so I found the ‘best’ way to use this was mostly to apply this from the ends upward. I would repurchase, assuming that this was still in production, as I snagged this over a year ago from a Walmart clearance rack.
