KOH GEN DO CLEANSING SPA WATER
this was gentle and felt just like water however it was a bit too gentle for my liking and didnt remove all traces of makeup thoroughly enough for me. i would not recommend this if you wear heavy eye makeup or love piling on the mascara like myself. i would recommend it if you wear light eye makeup and like gentle removers that arent greasy.

MAC CLEANSE OFF OIL
i really enjoy this for removing face makeup but not for removing eye makeup. i personally love cleansing oils, this is a decent one that is fairly priced.

SONIA KASHUK EYE MAKEUP REMOVER
this is a good eye makeup remover. less greasy than neutrogena and works very well when soaked on a cotton round. the only thing i dont like about this product is the price. over $10 and you get less product than the neutrogena. for this reason i dont plan to repurchase. though if the price doesnt bother you i do recommend it as it does a fine and easy job of removing all eye makeup.

NEUTROGENA EYE MAKEUP REMOVER
fairly priced, removes makeup easily and thoroughly. the only con is it leaves a VERY slightly oily feeling after. this does not bother me as i wash my face after i remove my eye makeup and the oiliness doesnt get into my eyes like some other removers do. so far my favorite eye makeup remover.

GIOVANNI SMOOTH AS SILK SHAMPOO
i finished and talked about the conditioner of this set in my last items used up. very nice drugstore non sulfate hair care. i enjoy the smell, the state of my hair, and how it did not dry out my already frazzled hair. thumbs up.

KERASTASE MASQUEINTENSE
i picked this up years ago at target. i had heard vanessa hudgens uses this on her hair. not sure if it is true but this stuff is expensive! regularly priced around 70 dollars, target had it on sale for half off. i did not see any miracle results with this. plus the scent was horrible, a very fake salon chemical smell. over priced and i saw no apparent results that i can report to you guys. pass!

PHILOSOPHY HAPPY BIRTHDAY BODY WASH
finally, i had two of these in my bathroom closet to use up as one was mine and the other my sisters. as i said before with this product, im not a fan and i dont see why philosophy is known for their soaps since it is nothing to write home about. im just happy to have finished both, good riddance!

THE BODY SHOP SATSUMA BODY BUTTER
i never understood body butters. all the ones i had tried were from bath and body works which were all greasy and uncomfortable since they sat on my skin and didnt absorb fully. the body shop changed my views. satsuma is my favorite scent. but i only like to use it during the summer months. the bright citrusy scent is more appropriate for the summertime in my mind. i will always repurchase and have backups.

CLEAN & CLEAR DAILY PORE CLEANSER
i used this throughout my entire high school career. i like to get it every now and then, perhaps due to nostalgia. no fuss cleanser. doesnt offer any future benefits but it is great at cleansing without over drying. it also has microscrubbers so it semi exfoliates without being too harsh. i like this but im bored of it since i have used it so much in the past. plus i am at an age where i want benefits for my skin, not just a good cleansing.

LANCOME NUTRIX ROYAL BODY
i received this as a gift from a friend. i used it up as a hand cream. not anything special and i would not purchase the full size. i dont like the scent and i dont like the feeling of it. it is greasy and takes too long to soak into the skin.

KORRES FACE PRIMER
i got this FOREVER ago as a deluxe sephora sample. this is horrible. it took all i could to finish this up. i should have just tossed it but i was stubborn and wanted to finish it. this offered zero help in prolonging my makeup and it also broke me out. definitely would not recommend, stay far away!

PRESTIGE MY BLACKEST LASHES MASCARA
i wont blab about this anymore than i have to. my favorite drugstore mascara, hands down. very black, doesnt transfer, perfect volume and lengthening, cheap! you must try this if you havent.

MAKEUP FOREVER SMOKEY LASH MASCARA SAMPLE
so far my favorite mascara i have ever tried. just so sad that it dries out so fast! come on makeup forever, come up with a formula that performs well but doesnt dry out so quickly and i will repurchase over and over again.

that is all for this post! hopefully next time i will have bigger makeup products to include. happy monday!
