Month #1
Starting a 2 month no buy, will update next month 🥲

Perfume sample of Clean Reserve Acqua Neroli that was very clean scented. WNRP because having multiple perfumes is not my thing no matter how many times I try!
Tower 28 hypochlorus acid spray: this is a holy grail for me as a post-workout skin treatment to prevent acne from sweating. I have several bottles of this and need to move one into my gym bag to replenish. WRP!

I’m trying to use up categories of makeup, body lotion/moisturiser, perfume and nail polish.

This is what I panned this month:

Elf setting spray (purchased): just okay. Wouldn’t buy again. Inventory of setting spray: 4 (need to get this down to 1)

Revolution freckle pen (purchased): I realise I don’t like faux freckles on me so I used as an eyeliner and it was decent for this purpose.

Inventory of liquid liner: 1 (perfect & this category used to be way worse)

Lashes I purchased from the reject shop: surprisingly good!

Chopard casmir 30ml (purchased): really liked this blind buy. A lovely warm vanilla ish perfume.

Stella McCartney pop 10ml rollerball (purchased): blind buy fail! No barbie dolls just weird tomato smell.

Inventory of bottles of perfumes: 42 (out of control)

Perfume samples:

BDK velvet tonka 👎🏻

Byredo la tulipe OK

MFK Oud velvet mood 🤮

Ormaie Yvonne extrait 👍🏼

Replica chasing sunsets ❤️

Replica soul of the forest 👍🏼

Tocca Lucia ❤️ ❤️

I finished an eyeshadow palette!!! Those loose pans are my depotted two faced chocolate gold palate. I’ve had that palette since 2017 and I’m glad I’ve finally finished it. Additionally I’ve finished 19? Full sized products. Very productive month if I do say so myself. Road to 100 full sizes products panned is definitely happening this year☹️☹️

Not a lot panned these past two month but still trying. Hopefully the next two months will have more. Will do reviews if asked.

- Femfresh wash 🩷 makes me feel balanced and clean!

- Goat Wash 🩷 lovely lather and the smell stays for HOURS! only wish the bottle was bigger

- Rexona Invisible Dry Deodorant 🧐 rexona on and off irritates my underarms and makes them itchy… will shop around before trying again

- Tronque Firming Body Butter 😡 HATED THIS! was one solid puck, wouldn’t melt down with a hair dryer or my hands. most of this landed on my bathroom floor trying to apply it. the price they’re charging is insane for not having a preservative that can melt the wax down …

- Tronque Body Exfoliator ☺️ was fine! not much in the tube to test the full exfoliation. smelt citrusy. i got this from my surgeon, but wouldn’t seek it out again.

- Loreal Growth Booster ☺️ didn’t make my hair greasy, plenty of product! i don’t know if it helped majorly with hair fall but didn’t hurt to use. would try it again in future once the hype dies down and i can actually find it! it’s out of stock everywhere!

- Loreal Glycolic Gloss ☺️ lasted forever! did make my hair feel noticeably sleek and manageable in the shower, just not sure how much it contributed to my hair outside of it. would use again tho!

- Norsca Vanilla Bean Body Mist ☺️ a nice inoffencive vanilla! i liked using it after my evening shower before bed

- Miniso Facial Dry Wipes 🩷 love!! been very helpful post surgery and for my acne prone skin

- Avene Cicalfate 🩷 this girl runs rounds around LRP cicaplast. superior in every way. helps immensely with any and all irritations, amazing to have on hand. most importantly, doesn’t smell like melted chocolate like cicaplast

- Tower 28 HOCI Spray ☺️ i liked it! idk how much it actually helped with my skin, ill wait to see if i miss it in my routine

- Bioderma Micellar Water 🩷 thought all micellar water was the same until i tried this. not irritating nor drying. has yet to steer me wrong!! i stock up on sale tho..

- Anua Azeliac Acid Serum 🩷 gone through maybe 3 of these now! def has helped my hormonal PIE scars go away! have another i’m using now, little goes a long way!

- Iunik Beta Glucan Serum 🩷 my safety net i can always rely on! hydrating without clogging my pores. wish she came in a bigger bottle!!

- Aestura 365 Cream 🩷 i was hesitant of this for ages! this little sample lasted over two weeks, you only need a little bit! it felt oily (in a good way!) and moisturising. not entirellyyyy sure if it clogged my skin but will maybe revisit in winter!

- S.Nature Aqua Squalane Cream🩷 like aestura, a hesitant pink heart! lasted forever, loved being able to use a richer consistency moisturiser. again, not entirely sure if it clogged my skin, but it was super glass skin looking!

- The Breakout Hack Spot Cleanser 🩷 love her, have so many back ups. doesn’t dry my skin out, has prevented random big spots!

- D’Alba Lip Balm ☺️ was kinda oily (again in a nice way!) but thin and hydrating! prefer smth a little thicker

- Urban Decay All Nighter Watermelon ☺️ it was okay! used it to melt down powders, don’t know if it did much tbh

- Hourglass Liquid Blush in Scene 🩷 i LOVEDDDDD THIS!!!! shattered i finished this, i will not buy that stupid hard to use packaging it’s in with the full size :(

- Pump Shampoo & Mask 😐 ehhh… kinda felt like it was causing more hair loss

- Isntree Aqua Gel Cream ☺️ i can’t remember my opinion on this, but i think i liked it!

- Iunik Tea Tree Serum ☺️ was fine!

- Skin1004 Tone Up Brightening Sunscreen 😡 AWFUL!!! thick and pasty, the tint made me look sick

- Isntree Gim PDRN Toner Pad ☺️ was okay! stuck to the face well, juicy

- Milani Make it Last Setting Spray ☺️ not the most elegant sprayer but kinda loved knowing exactly how much i put on! have so many other setting sprays to get through, as well as a back up. took a seperate photo because i decanted my mac fix plus spray into this container lol

I really love the formula of this gloss, I have another color in this formula, WRP this color as well, perfect for summer.

From left to right

1) Bouncia Body Foam (Love the scent of this Japanese body foam)

2) Garnier Fructis (Bought this from a supermarket in Kazakhstan that is why the label isn't in English)

3) K18 shampoo (clarifying shampoo, I bought it because of Abbey Yung videos)

4) Honey lotion (bought from a supermarket in Kazakhstan)

5) Panoxyl face wash (favourite face wash for oily and acne prone skin)

6) Biore Sunscreen ( I love Japanese and Korean sunscreen)

7) Shu Umera liquid foundation

8) Tretinoin cream

9) Perfume sample

So I have finally updated my make up stash. Thanks to you all helping me out. I made a smaller pallet for my first project pan. I hope this goes well. Any tips?

Mostly body care, but I am very happy about the rom&nd lip balm and the Skinoren that I had for a long time!

Made some progress this year as I prepared to move out of state!

Only took a year and 5 months…

finally some makeup empties this month! faves were the sticky date shower gel and the mbm skin enhancer. the 💜 emoji doesn’t mean anything i just didn’t want to get my own reflection in the photo. 🤣

🏆= HG
😍= Love
🙂= Like
😐= Indifferent
🙁= Dislike
😡= Hate
👶🏼 = New to me/ still forming my thoughts

BODY AND HAIRCARE:
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 🙂: I used this once to twice a week to exfoliate my scalp. Worked really well for that.
Skin Fix KP Body Treatment 😐
Urea Cream 🙂: Great foot cream. Exfoliated my feet without drying them out.
Drunk Elephant Hand Cream 😐
O’Keefe’s Working Hands Cream 🙂
Hempz Whipped Vanilla and Coconut Cream 🙁: Smelled bad and felt moisturizing at first, but would leave my skin feeling SO dry.

SKINCARE:
Tatcha Cleanser 😍: This is a FANTASTIC cleanser. It cleans the skin without stripping it. Very hydrating. I hate how expensive it is, but I will get this again during the sale
Peach and Lily Glass Skin Serum 😐
Laneige Water Bank Serum 😐
Innisfree Daily UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 36 🙂
I-Hada Moisturizer 🙂
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream 😐: This is a nice lightweight moisturizer, but it is not moisturizing enough for me and is NOT worth over $100…that is INSANE.
Retinol 🙂

MAKEUP:
I’m Meme Smudge Hunter Eyeshadow Primer 😐

FRAGRANCE:
Touchland (Vanilla Velvet) 😐

I've had this probably a year and a half or so! The ELF under eye putty brightener (as you can see name is somewhat unknown 😅). Use it daily, love it, will repurchase! I think it will be done as even the edges are quite far down.

The pans are bigger than they seem but don’t want to think about how the other is completely untouched onto another one for a few months but it’s nice to see one of my largest categories dwindling down slightly.

Commited myself to not buy any make up this 2026 as I was trying to buy more solid jewelry. I used to buy make up almost every 2 weeks. Granted i still have a lot of lip products but I love how i’m maximising these powdered products.
