These 2 months may make it seem like I finished alot of product, however, alot of them are misses which I could not be bothered to continue to use up. I am currently doing a massive clean-up of make-up, skincare and all other personal items so I'm just making the firm decision to either throw away or use up. Keep on reading below to see what made it to my misses list and what I will repurchase.

Face Secrets – Make-Up
Brush Cleansing Towelettes
|
MISS
|
NO
|
Not a fan of these at all, they dried out so quickly even though I
made sure I had sealed it shut. It was inefficient in removing the make-up
from my brushes, even if it was used right after my make-up application and
it was fresh on the brush.
|
Living Proof – hair serum
|
MISS
|
NO
|
There was nothing that wow-ed me with this product that would make me
want to pay premium for it. I really enjoy the Flex Shaping Hairspray from
Living Proof so I’ll stick to that.
|
Vaseline – Cocoa Butter
Lip Therapy
|
MISS
|
NO
|
Not really a fan of using this as either a lip balm or moisturizer –
I know better products for either.
|
Lorac – Brightener and
Concealer
|
MISS
|
NO
|
I bought this years ago when Lorac used to be carried in Sephora
Canada. While the brightener works well, the concealer was quite thick and
lead to creasing.
|
Maybelline – Rocket Lash
Express Mascara
|
EMPTY
|
YES
|
I’m loving drugstore mascaras lately, this gave me length and didn’t
smudge on my bottom lash line.
|
Duo – Lash Adhesive (brush
on)
|
MISS
|
NO
|
Ever since discovering Esquido lash glue, I will never use Duo. Duo
glue smells a bit funky and also the wait time for it to be tacky is long
compared to Esquido.
|
Arbonne – Liquid Eyeliner
|
MISS
|
NO
|
Couldn’t try this product out as it was recalled due to possible
contaminants which may lead to eye infections. Regardless, that leaves a bad
feeling and I wouldn’t try it again.
|
Skin Food – Dark Circle
Concealer Cream
|
MISS
|
NO
|
Used this as a corrector due to its salmon tones, it’s greasy –
leaves creasing.
|
Marcelle – Lip Liner
|
EMPTY
|
YES
|
Love this – not drying, and pigmented.
|
Stila – Liquid Liner
|
EMPTY
|
YES
|
Love! Been using this for years! Ultra pigmented.
|
Baby Lips – Lip Balm
|
MISS
|
NO
|
Waxy, and not moisturizing.

Comments/Thoughts

Bath and Body Works – Apple
Blossom & Lavender Body Wash
|
Allergic
|
Can’t/No
|
My skin has recently been very sensitive and reacts negatively when
using any bath products containing alcohol. My coworker told me that when she
used BBW products, her skin itched and inflamed her eczema and thinking of
this, I stopped using mine immediately and saw a dramatic improvement. While
their products do smell wonderful, unfortunately I can’t use them.
|
Big Sexy Hair – What a Tease Backcomb in a Bottle Hair
Spray
|
MISS
|
NO
|
This product was the worst thing I’ve ever spent my money on. It was
around mid $20s and didn’t work. This is supposed to be backcombing in a
bottle – giving you volume. However, this consistently clogged the hole where
the product was dispensed and made my hair hard and crunchy.
|
Garnier – Clean – Shine Control
Cleansing Gel
|
MISS
|
NO
|
While I do love charcoal in products, this however paired with
menthol seemed to really strip my skin and I wasn’t a fan. My face was really
dry.
|
Macadamia Oil – No Tangle
Pre-Styler
|
MISS
|
NO
|
For the price of this product, I can find many other alternatives
that can do the job. Didn’t wow me.
|
Graydon– The Putty
|
EMPTY
|
NO
|
This was very soothing on my irritated skin, however it is a pricy
product due to its high quality. I would like to continue and try new
products and see what’s out there as being a beauty blogger, I always like to
try things out.
|
Dior – Airflash Foundation
|
EMPTY
|
YES
|
LOVE this foundation, makes me look flawless and airbrushed. It does
oxidize a bit on me. Again, I will eventually repurchase this, but for now I
want to try other products out.
|
Body Shop – Passion Fruit Shower
Gel
|
EMPTY
|
YES
|
LOVE LOVE LOVE these shower gels. As mentioned above, my coworker who
was sensitive to BBW products recommended this to me. I have not had any
irritation since using this and will continue to repurchase. It also comes in
a variety of scents so you’ll never be bored.

Comments/Thoughts
|
Saje – Diffuser Blend – Mountain High
|
EMPTY
|
YES
|
Buying a diffuser from Saje was one of the best decisions – it has
helped clear the air while subtly deodorizing it. In addition it acts as a
humidifier which helps Bentley too – he stopped wheezing after I had this on.
|
Quo – Eyeshadow Palette
|
MISS
|
MAYBE
|
I did not have luck with my specific palette, however my blogger
friend Chelle, from Make Up Your Mind, had luck with hers.
|
Quo – Lash Primer
|
MISS
|
NO
|
Was not a fan of this, if you did not apply mascara right away when
the primer was wet, it dried really crunchy and clumps your lashes leaving it
very hard to apply the mascara on top and leaves white chunks.
|
Quo – Liquid Liner
|
MISS
|
NO
|
Not the worst, but not the best. It’s a good liner, but I’ve had
better so I won’t be repurchasing it.
|
Milani – Clear Brow Gel
|
EMPTY
|
YES
|
Loving this brow gel especially at a drugstore price. It does what it
says and gives me no problems – dries clear, no crunchy clumpy appearance.
|
Smashbox – Camera ready BB Cream SPF 35
|
EMPTY
|
YES
|
This BB cream works well and gives me a medium coverage, I do have to
use a mattifying primer beforehand though as I do get a bit oily.
|
Dior – Diorskin Nude Tan Healthy Glow Enhancing Powder
|
EMPTY
|
MAYBE
|
Love this product – gives you a subtle glow without looking orange or
fake. It is a pricier item so I’ll hold off repurchasing, will try other
items first.
|
Quo – Single Shadow
|
MISS
|
MAYBE
|
Like the liner, not the worst and not the best. It is pigmented but I’ve
had better from the drugstore.
