COTY Airspun Translucent (FS) this is a super solid workhorse powder that sets and doesn’t leave an egregious cast. i cannot recommend it if you are at all sensitive to smells. i use it in my frankenpowder. Probably RP

Bath & Body Works Simply Unwind body cream (FS): this is a nice sandalwood and vanilla scent and pretty hydrating. MR eventually

Solinotes Pomelo Hair and Body Mist (FS): this is a gorgeous fresh grapefruit scent. unfortunately it lasts maybe half an hour. Probably WNR bc of that

Solinotes Pomelo Eau de Parfum (FS): same scent as the above. You would think since it’s an eau de parfum the longevity would improve. You would be Incorrect. MR because it’s a liiiiiittle longer lasting than the mist but idk

Wet n Wild Megaliner: this is a fantastic matte black felt tip pot. eventually it started smelling like Doritos so i binned it. ulta was out so im trying the essence version but possible future RP

Essence Eyeliner Pen: my beloved. cheap, black, reliable. not waterproof but i find it somewhat resistant! already RP

Fizz & Bubble Sugar Tart Lip Scrub (FS): this is a sugar lip scrub. it’s great. it’s like other sugar lip scrubs you have tried. im not sure if I’ll RP bc again it is kind of just sugar

Aloe & Rosewater Face Mist (FS): I bought this at marshalls awhile back. It’s rosewater. I’m sure there are cheaper rosewaters. Probably WNR

BareBiotics Thick Thicker Thickest conditioner (FS): this is conditioner. it is like other conditioners you have tried. i didn’t find it particularly moisturizing. WNR

Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Extreme (DS): this does, in fact, smell extremely vanilla. Like a fancy cake. Solid vanilla if you love vanilla. MR

Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie (sample packet): this is for thick curly hair; mine is fine and wavy. it lasted quite a few uses because i was being super careful to not weigh my hair down. smells great and adds shine but WNP, just not for my hair type

I didn't do a good job of tracking empties for the month of May because of travel. What I did track:

• Melano CC - WR
• Rayito del Sol SPF65 - MR
• Antipodes Credo Probiotic Ferment Revitalise Serum - Retail price is far too high. Had a bit of mica in it. Dried down quickly; not moisturising enough for my skin, but that's probably good for for normal/oily skin types. TK Maxx find. Probably WNR
• Marvis Cinnamon Toothpaste mini - Box item. Probably WNB
