rohto mentholatum lip balm melty premium- finally finished! Didn’t love but I enjoy the regular version to this

I’m so close to finishing a bunch of products and I hope this is the month: cleanser, another lip balm, setting spray, and an eyebrow pencil

[u/mekealoha_]

wet n wild photofocus matte setting spray (FS): this is fine? It keeps makeup on fairly well. It can get stuck in the sprayer though. WMR later but I’m trying the dewy version

Suave exfoliating grapefruit body wash (FS): smells good, is cheap, i am clean. WR

Soap & Glory Scrub Boost (FS): this smells SO good. It’s kind of a goop texture? Huge pieces of sugar too and the smell lingers. WR when I need a new scrub

Meidián Lotion (DS): this was a baby shower gift bag lotion! I kept it upstairs at work. Thin but fairly absorbent. WNP but it was fine!

lavender shower steamer: smells good, was relaxing. WNR i have more

soooo close to a gloss (an entire gloss!), a lipliner and a mini lipstick

Empties:

• Peter Thomas Roth Un-Wrinkle Turbo Line Smoothing Toning Lotion - Fourth and last bottle from a sale. Advertised many different peptides, though I'm unsure of the proven efficacy of each, When purchased on sale, was cost-effective for a peptide product. It stung my face, though. Seems to have been discontinued. MR
• Naturium Multi-Bright Tranexamic Acid Treatment 5% - Didn't notice much of an effect from this, though my hyperpigmentation is very stubborn. Probably WNR
• B. by Superdrug Melting Cleansing Balm - Did its job of removing makeup, but the oil started smelling old just a couple of weeks into opening the container. MR
• e.l.f. All the Feels Facial Oil - A perfectly fine face oil, though I prefer not to carry something labelled with cannabis for travel. Discontinued
• Dermaglós Solar Protector Solar Crema con Color Tono 1 - Second bottle of this sunscreen I've used up. Although the initial tone looked appropriate, it oxidised badly. It also left a metallic shimmer that looked ridiculous without makeup on top. The metallic finish did wipe away easily, but I don't want to compromise the sun protection by doing so. WNR
• Sundown Praia e Piscina FPS50 - Nozzle was hard to dispense product from. MR
• Votivo Red Currant Hand Cream - A faint potpourri scent. Set item. WNB
• Delta Brands Personal Care Feminine Cleansing Wash in Island Fresh - Unnecessary product
• Mediheal Vita Lightbeam Essential Mask Ex x4 - MR
• My Beauty Diary Black Pearl Total Effects Black Mask - Has a panel for the neck. Good price point. WR

Destash: Catrice Made to Stay Highlighter Pen in 030 Eye Need! - Cap cracked, came off in my bag and smeared the product everywhere.
