I didn't take photos to post on the blog because I figured that photos of empty bottles and canisters wouldn't be very thrilling to scroll through, so I'm going to link everything that I can, as well as show you in the video, and talk about everything I mention, so let's get started!
up & up Milk and Honey Handsoap Refill 64oz // $3.74 // This is a product I have purchased time and time again, and will continue to do so. There's something citrusy and wonderful about the scent of this handsoap that I absolutely love, and nothing compares! I also find this so much more cost efficient than purchasing individual soap pumps every time I run out, and this lasts much longer as well.
up & up Exfoliating Body Wash with Pomegranate Seeds 18 oz // $2.46 // I absolutely love the up & up line for household and bodycare, there are so many knock-off scents and products that are high quality, but super reasonable. I liked this body wash, it didn't knock my socks off, but for $2.46, who gives a crap, it did the job, it made me clean and smellin' good! I fell in love with the smell of this body wash, the only reason I won't repurchase this is because since it was an exfoliating wash, I felt like it took more product to lather, so I went through it a lot quicker than I do most body washes.
Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk 3.2oz // $20 // This is a dry shampoo that I've loved for ages and have talked about before here on the blog. This is the gentle formula, tinted for brown to dark hair, which has been a total savior for me. I am kind of a dry shampoo addict, but it's hard to find ones I love because they often leave a white powdery finish in my roots where my dark hair is most concentrated. This dry shampoo doesn't leave anything behind, it makes my hair look so clean and grease-free, and the scent is super fresh and natural, I adore everything about it! I have tried so many dry shampoos, and continue to find a cheaper option, but this one is hands-down my holy grail. I will definitely be repurchasing this, and recommend it highly!
Kirkland Signature Daily Facial Towelettes 150 ct // $11.99 // Obviously, this deal can't be beat. $12 for 150 facial wipes? I don't think anything this cheap exists out there. I had received a 30 pack of these as part of a gift for Christmas, and I began using them to remove makeup, but I found that they stung around my eye area, so I started using them for wiping swatches off my hands and arms when doing makeup videos. I find that I like them much better for the latter use, and I will likely repurchase them when need be, but my skin was too sensitive to use them as a makeup removing wipe, and I'll have to look around for something a little more gentle on my eye area for that use.
Mary Kay Botanical Effects Freshen Formula 2 (Normal Skin) 5oz // $14 // The Botanical Effects line is one from Mary Kay that I've loved for a long time. All the products are so gentle on the skin, they are formulated without synthetic dyes or fragrance, and they are hypoallergenic. This is basically a toner that removes excess residue from your skin. I liked using this after cleansing by spraying on a cotton ball and moving along my entire face, especially areas where makeup likes to cling like my hairline, under my jawline, and the sides of my nose. Unlike many toners, this didn't sting or feel harsh on the skin at all. It is said to restore natural balance in your skin and hydrate effectively, so I may try using this on top of my makeup as a hydrating facial spray soon! I definitely recommend this stuff! I already have a back-up.
12 Benefits Instant Healthy Hair Treatment 6oz // $22 // I received a deluxe sample of this in a Birchbox mystery pack one month. I enjoyed the smell of this product, although it did come off a little perfumey. I liked using it as a detangling leave-in conditioner post shower, but I definitely won't be repurchasing it. I think that 6oz for $22 is extremely overpriced for what it is. It claims to have 12 benefits from strengthening your hair to making it shine, but I didn't experience all these crazy good benefits myself. I much prefer the leave-in conditioner from ENJOY, and it is less than the price of this product for 4 more ounces.
Kiehl's Hydro-Plumping Re-Texturizing Serum Concentrate 1.7oz // $58 // I was pretty disappointed to have run out of this serum, but I knew it was coming soon, because it had already lasted me a solid 3-4 months, which is more than I expected. I used a very small amount of this serum after toning my face and before patting an oil into my skin. Every morning I swear I woke up with plumped skin, lines were filled in and everything looked smoother. If you're looking for a serum, I highly recommend this one! I won't be repurchasing it at this point in time because I don't think it is a necessary step in my skincare routine, but I did absolutely love this.
Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo 5.3oz // $24 // The scent of this kills me. It smells absolutely incredible. I really did love this sample from Birchbox up until my last use when I ran out, and realized that in the lighting I was in at the time, that this dry shampoo left serious white powdery residue on my roots that looked a lot like dandruff. Cool. Wish I would've noticed that before I emptied two sample bottles! If you have light hair, I highly recommend this dry shampoo. It does it's job, it smells lovely, but for my dark haired ladies out there, this one isn't for us.
Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream 1.7oz // $27.50 // I went through a large size of this, and a baby sample size as well that I was using for traveling. I highly recommend this facial cream. It's amazing for sensitive skin, ultra hydrating, and lasts for ages. It took me about 4 months to finish off my big tub, and I already had a back-up waiting for me because I knew I couldn't do without it. Facial creams are my cup of tea during drying winter months as opposed to a moisturizer because they are really thick and extra hydrating.
Kiehl's Creme de Corps Grapefruit Whipped Body Butter 2oz // $15 // I am so heartbroken about running out of this limited edition body butter. I am seriously wishing that I had stocked up on these during the season they were out, because this stuff smelled so good that I wanted to eat it. You guys know that I have a weird obsession with grapefruit, the scent, the taste, everything about it. Fortunately, their permanent line always has a soy & milk version, which also smells lovely, which I will likely purchase after I run out of my current body butters from The Body Shop.
LUSH Catastrophe Cosmetics Fresh Face Mask 2.1oz // $7.95 // Out of the LUSH Haul I did last month, this was by far my favorite mask that I purchased. This mask was full of chamomile, free blueberries, and calamine. There's something so soothing about putting a cold mask on your face in the first place, but this one soothed irritation, redness, breakouts, everything! I will absolutely be repurchasing this mask, and I highly recommend it.
Artistry Signature Eyes Automatic Liquid Liner 0.034oz // $21.25 // I did a blog post about this eyeliner ages ago, because I loved this stuff to death. It has a felt tip, and makes eyeliner application a total dream. It glides on, and makes things a total breeze for beginners especially. I've had this for ages and it never dried up on me, it just got streaky when I ran out of product inside the tube. I highly recommend this for anyone struggling with liquid liner, or anyone who wants it to be quick and easy in the mornings.
YSL Touche Eclat Radiant Touch 2 Luminous Ivory 0.1oz // $42 // I went into Sephora and requested a sample of the YSL Touche Eclat in #2, Luminous Ivory because I've heard models and youtubers just rave about what this does for your face. It is supposed to awaken tired eyes instantly, and all these crazy claims. I wanted to try a sample since this product is so expensive. I found that this product was really brightening, and I did really enjoy the consistency and blendability of the formula, but it wasn't something that I felt like I needed to run out and purchase, nor will I purchase. I understand why people like it, but I feel like I can handle looking a little more drowsy for $42 cheaper...but I totally understand the hype, especially for those models on the go to castings and people with quick lifestyles that need easy fixes.
