Hello, hello!
I cannot believe it is July already! This month I didn’t finish up as many products as I had hoped, once again, there are so many things that are NEARLY but not quite finished.
Let’s take a look – it is only body and skincare as I haven’t continued going through and decluttering my lipsticks.
Bath and Body Empties:
Wildcraft Buff Face and Body Scrub – I love this exfoliating scrub for body use as my face is far too sensitive for this type of exfoliation. It smells like spearmint in a refreshing and non-toothpaste way! I’ll be replacing this as soon as I use up a few more things in my stash. Review is here.
Tom’s Of Maine Deodorant in Soothing Calendula – This deodorant is NOT for me. It worked great at first but it seemed that the longer that I used it, the worse that it worked for me. I’ve heard that it works amazing for some people. I’ve been trying to use this up for so long – and only using it on days that I was working from home. Review is here.
EIR NYC Sunset Oil – This came in my May Petit Vour box. I absolutely loved this body oil for when I got out of the shower. I’m hoping to find something similar but a little more budget friendly. Review is here.
Skincare Empties:
Zabana Essentials Banana and Colloidal Oatmeal Face Mask + Scrub – I really liked this facial mask that came in my May Petit Vour box. The sample pack was large enough to get at least 6 to 8 uses! I have things to use up in my stash so I won’t be buying a full size of this one right now. Review is here.
Shamanuti Pumpkin Enzyme Masque – Another Petit Vour product. This was a great mask, but I can find another, more budget friendly dupe. Again, no rush to try to find a dupe for it as I am still working my way through my stash. Review is here.
Ingenium Naturals Tsubaki Oil – This was a great multi-purpose oil. I’ve used it on my face, in my hair, and even in the bath. I have a bunch of oils to use up, so I won’t be replacing this right now. This was a PR sample. Review is here.
Andalou Naturals Goji Peptide Perfecting Cream – This was also from a Petit Vour box. The sample was small, so I could only give first impressions on this facial cream. Again, I have several things to use up in my stash so no need to buy a full size to test right now. Review is here.
Nearly Finished:
Wet N Wild Photofocus Pressed Powder – I hit pan on this last month, and it is still hanging on! Hopefully I’ll be able to finish it up in July. Review is here.
So there you have it – all the things that I’ve managed to finish this month. Not as much as I had hoped, but progress is progress. Did you finish up much this month?
Thanks for reading and have a beautiful day!
Disclosure: All purchased by me except for the Wildcraft Buff (gift from a friend) and the Ingenium Naturals Tsubaki Oil (PR sample).
I agree with you about Tom’s deodorant! NOT for me! I also heard people saying positive things about it, but it did nothing it promised when it came to my own experience:(

It worked great for me at first, but then it would crap out unexpectedly after 2 hours when I wasn’t even actually sweating. I mentioned it to my mom, who was also using Toms and she said it started happening to her too!

Yup, exactly! Similar experience.

I’m beginning to think Tom’s just sucks because I already know 7 people personally who have tried the brand and they all hated it and it just made the BO worst – including myself! Even from the first week it was terrible so I just threw mine out. I’ve really been loving the Native one and can recommend that if you’re still looking for a natural deodorant.

So funny – Im actually testing out the one from Native this past week or so – since we got hit with a heat wave, I decided to test it a little longer to see how it fares under extreme heat and humidity!

So I’m not the only one who finished fewer items than expected… 🙂
Congrats on finishing the unloved deodorant.

Some months I finish up a bunch, but not this month. But as long as I’m making progress, I’m happy.

I tried a toms deodorant many years ago too and I felt the same way about it. Even the one I’m using sucks and it’s a tea tree oil one and supposedly it’s a sport one… they all suck. I still cannot find a deodorant for me.
Nicely done on the empties.

It is hard to find the right one! I’ve tried so many over the years – long before I started blogging.
