October Empties & Destashes! I finished quite a few body/hair products this month that I have just had FOR EVER, and laid to rest some makeup items that were officially past their shelf life. Beauty: 1) ELF Gel Eyeliner- de stash- WNR. This stuff sucked. I got it for free using $3 in CVS extra bucks just to give it a whirl after seeing so many good reviews online. It's thick, hard to be precise with and just...NAH FAM. If I ever use gel liner again I'm going back to Mac Blacktrack. 2)ELF "eyeshadow guard"- destash- WNR-$3 This idea is great! However, the guard is made of silicone which makes it a sticky ish eyeshadow magnet...which seems like a good thing...EXCEPT YOU HAVE TO FLIP IT OVER TO USE ON EACH EYE....so you use it on one eye, it catches all the eyeshadow, then you flip it over to do your other eye, AND COVER YOUR CHEEK IN EYESHADOW IT JUST CAUGHT. And it's weird and floppy like an eye dildo. 3)Burts Bees Cucumber Makeup Wipes-$4-WR $4 at Nordstrom rack and they don't irritate my skin. These are my holy grail budget makeup wipes. 4)Maison Martin Margelia Replica "Lipstick On" perfume sample- full size is $125- WR I LOOOOOOVE this perfume line. I own "Jazz Club" and I am lusting after "By The Fireplace" as well as the two new "perfume primer oils" from the line. Lipstick on is a lighter scent, which is why I wanted to try it, since I always gravitate towards heavy woody perfumes. This scent is ever so slightly powdery, but in a way that smells like fresh makeup and not an old lady. 5) DIY sparkle mascara- destash I tried to make my own sparkle mascara using clear mascara and superfine cosmetic glitter. It works...kind of...but flakes off in a gross crumbly way throughout the day. I had to stop trying to make it happen. 6) Stila liquid lipstick in Patina (I think?)-$18 WR THE BEST LIQUID LIPSTICK FORMULA EVER. Seriously. I've had this lipstick for 5 or 6 years now and it was almost empty and starting to get a little gunky so I decided to destash. But up until recently it was the most comfortable, transfer proof, long wearing, great smelling liquid lip I owned! WOULD REBUY(when I finish my other liquid lips) HAIR SKIN N BODY: 1) Garnier Fructis "hair & body dry oil" -$7- WNR It took me almost 3 years to finish this, and it was a STRUGGLE towards the end. This stuff is just...greasy but dry at the same time, and doesn't really ever soak in to your skin or your hair, making your hair piecey. I've started using the Pravana Hydrapearls hair oil capsules, and they make my hair sooo much smoother and softer and alive without the greasy factor. 2) Hello toothpaste- $5-WR I got a sample of this at SXSW and was a big fan! It's not overly minty as a toothpaste, but leaves your mouth feeling clean, and the packaging is so cute. 3) vitamins - duh I'd rebuy STAY STRONG LADIES 4)Aussie heat protectant spray $4- WR lasted me almost 2 years and I guess it works? I never know if these sprays really do anything but it smells good and is cheap and I liked the sprayer on the bottle a lot. 5) bio true contact lens solution- $7 WR I'll buy this over other contact lens solution if it's on sale because the packaging is cute. 6) Sonimart clairsonic brush- $8 - WR these knock off clarisionic brushes work perfectly, and I LOOOVE my clarisionic face brush. 7) Sonicare diamond clean brush head. I always go name brand for the Sonicare toothbrush heads. The work really well, and make my mouth feel brand new*~ WELP that's all folks
