This month, I just happened to empty a TON of products, some of which I’ve been working on for YEARS. Here’s my summary:
Bath and Body Works Gentle and Clean Pink Strawberry Hand Soap—Loved the smell. Since it’s not one of my regular scents, I’m guessing I bought it on clearance, so I doubt I’ll be able to buy it again.
Bath and Body Works Champagne Pop Hand Soap—This is one of my regular purchases from B&BW. It’s my favorite scent. Will definitely repurchase.
Osea Hyaluronic Sea Serum— I bought this a couple years ago and have been doing my best to make it last, but it’s finally all gone. I really enjoyed this serum, although I’m not sure how much it did for my skin. I bought this at the beginning of my skin care journey and probably wouldn’t buy it now even if it didn’t come with an $88 price tag.
Lume deodorant in clean tangerine—I’m a diehard Lume user. I liked this scent well enough. Will probably repurchase after my stock runs out.
Osea Blemish Balm—I’ve found that even with an almost $50 price tag, this moisturizer is worth the hit. This is the second jar I’ve been through and I already have my third one in use. I use it at night exclusively, as I use a SPF moisturizer in the morning.
Murad Oil and Pore Control Mattifier, Broad Spectrum SPF 45 PA+—This is my morning moisturizer. My second bottle of it, so I’ve been using it for a while. I love it. It does smell a bit like sunscreen, but it doesn’t bother me. Works great under makeup. Am currently working through a mini I have, but I also have a full size waiting to be used.
L’Occitane Almond Hand Cream— This mini came in a Christmas kit I bought ages ago. Finally took the time to use it! Won’t be repurchasing as it’s not strong enough to handle my dry hands.
Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 hour foundation with SPF 15, in 18b Fair-Light Beige —This is my beloved foundation, which I can no longer buy in my shade. (Bring it back, Tarte!) I’ve bought the shade lighter, which is still being sold, and I’m using deepening drops to make it match my skin tone. I’m actively looking for a lower maintenance replacement.
