Happy Canada Day!
I have no idea where the time goes!!! It's July tomorrow! Sheesh. Anyway, looks like I am combining two months again. Let's jump in.
Erbario Toscana Aloe & Tea Tree Liquid Soap - I know I'm a broken record but truly I don't show you all of the liquid hand soap that I go through. I am only mentioning this brand again because it was excellent! Smelt great, was moisturizing, and a good ingredient deck. It's made in Italy too. This was my second bottle and I am using a third right now. Bought it at Winners (Marshalls, TJ Maxx etc.) for $9.99 but look how big it is! Lasted me a good couple of months or more. Will repurchase for sure.
Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Shampoo - I've turned back to Aveda lately for my shampoo, I really like this bottle but I think it is the older version and I heard they reformulated which was not a hit with people. I got sick of it as I neared the end of the bottle, as I do with most shampoos. Might repurchase later on.
Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Cream - Loved it! If my skin was dry or mad at me, this was the stuff to reach for! I am so sorry it's gone especially because of the price point it is at! I have some smaller travel containers of it that I am using but I will be repurchasing the full sized for sure very soon!
Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Face Butter - I have been using this on and off at night for the past few months. I really didn't like it as it was tacky on my face and I don't feel that it moisturized very well. I really like the Josie Maran body butter so this was a let down. Glad it was a sample size and I didn't pay for it.
Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer in Light Neutral - This was my second full sized tube and I blasted through it in 2 months or so. I noticed it only has 5ml so there isn't much in there. I have a funny feeling I will be repurchasing. I bought a Fenty Beauty concealer but it doesn't appear to be as good as this.
Estee Lauder Double Wear Light Foundation in 2.0 - It's been discontinued, my heart is broken. I managed to find 3 at the Estee Lauder/MAC sale so I am happily using these three plus the one I have in reserve up right now. I just can't find another foundation that compares. Used dozens, my go-to.
Shiseido Facial Cotton - I'm addicted. A cotton ball just doesn't cut it for me anymore since I started using this. Already repurchased. I have no idea what number bag of this I am using.
Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Replenishing Moisture Shampoo - I did not like this and I am amazed I finished it. I took in with me on vacation once or twice and I think some escaped into a Ziploc bag I had it in once or twice. It tangled my hair like nothing I have ever seen before. It made my hair dry despite what it is supposed to do which is moisturize. Will never repurchase. Just not for my hair type I guess.
Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum - This was a travel sized tube. I confess I didn't understand what exactly it was for when I bought it as I was using it as a stand alone serum and then adding moisturizer. It works best when coupled with C-Firma Vitamin C Day Serum. Already have two more travel-sized tubes on the go.
Murad Renewing Eye Cream - There was a big fuss over this product a few years back and I got this sample size in a Murad kit I bought. This "sample" travelled with me and lasted a long time! I didn't feel it did much for me. It wasn't even that moisturizing and it did nada for my dark circles. Will not repurchase.
Origins Plantscription - Countless tubes used and I have already repurchased two small sized tubes for travel.
Eos Lip Balm -I really don't know what happened here. I loved these when they first came out. I must have had close to a dozen of them. I got people at work addicted to them. And then...I started having serious lip issues. Redness, blistering and pain! The funny thing is I thought for months it was my face wash or something else and then I heard about the Eos problems and lawsuit. I stopped using them so fast! So here we are years later now and I am still finding the odd one hidden in my house so when I find them, I am chucking them. This one is practically brand new. My cat may had hid it on me.....buh bye.
Phyto Phytojoba Shampoo - I liked this the more I used it. I liked the container too. I may repurchase.
That's all for today!
I hadn't heard about the problems with Eos. I tried it once but it didn't work well for me. My skin is very sensitive & most balms include ingredients that irritate my lips. (Menthol, Mint, Fragrance). I tried the Drunk Elephant Balm & it felt great but it's so pricey for the amount & I use it up really fast. I'm sticking to a drugstore lanolin product for now. I love your blog, Thanks for the great reviews!
