I'm a bit of a hoarder when it comes to beauty products. I do regular purges, but it still seems like I constantly have more products than your average drugstore. So, for 2014 one of my New Year's Resolutions was to not purchase any beauty products until I had used up everything I had of that type. (I did give myself the cheat/loophole that items in beauty boxes don't count. Shhhhh...)
I had no intention to blog them originally, but I really like Every Little Polish's Project Pan posts, so here we are.
Mark. Change Is Gonna Come Body Scrub: I used to be a Mark rep back when you could do that separately from Avon, so quite a few Mark products are going to show up in these posts. This scrub was dense enough that it exfoliated very well but fine enough that it didn't leave me feeling raw, and the scent was nice and light.
Would I repurchase? Discontinued. I also still have a bottle (or two) stashed away.
Pantene Split End Repair: I didn't notice this doing much to repair or prevent split ends, but it did make a wonderful leave in conditioner. It melted tangles out of my wet hair and my hair felt so, so soft once it dried.
Would I repurchase? No, but only because I'm making an effort to buy only cruelty-free brands.
Mary Kay Oil-free Eye Makeup Remover: I actually had this for quite a while before I got around to using it. (Story of my life.) It did break down my waterproof mascaras quite well, but it then mostly just smeared it around my face and left me feeling sort of slimy.
Would I repurchase? No.
Got2b Fat-Tastic Dry Shampoo: This was my absolute favorite dry shampoo. It smelled good, made my hair look less greasy without taking the shine completely away, and gave me lift and volume. When they stopped making it, I found 3 bottles clearanced at a local grocery store and snapped them up. Sadly, I think this was my last bottle.
Would I repurchase? Discontinued. :(
Tresemme Split Remedy Shampoo and Conditioner: I didn't notice that my split ends improved at all while using this. After using this duo, my hair seemed way heavier and less bouncy - things someone with fine hair definitely don't want.
Would I repurchase? No.
Avon MagiX Face Perfector: This was actually the first primer I ever tried and I liked it so much that I bought, like, 5 tubes. I think I finally just opened my last one. I actually wear it by itself a lot of the time. It leaves my skin looking soft and smooth.
Would I repurchase? Maybe. It's a good, inexpensive product, but there is some controversy regarding Avon and animal testing.
Yes to Tomatoes Facial Wipes: These clean my face well without leaving it feeling extremely dry. I'm not sure that they really cleared my blemishes, but they certainly didn't cause any new ones. These aren't great at removing waterproof mascara, though.
Would I repurchase? Yes.
Maybelline the Falsies Volum Express Mascara - Waterproof: I picked this at random when I was in Hawaii last October. (Don't worry, I haven't been using it this whole time.) It volumized fine and didn't flake or run at all. However, it was maybe a little *too* waterproof. This mascara was a total PITA to remove.
Would I repurchase? No.
NYX Mosaic Powder - Dare: Okay, in all fairness, I actually only used about half of this before dropping it and shattering it all over the bathroom floor. Until that point, it was my go-to cheek color. The rose gold was the perfect happy medium between blush and bronzer for me, and it went on beautifully.
Would I repurchase? Yes. I actually want to try other colors as well.
