L'Occitane Lavender hand cream (mini) -- Made with real lavender so it smells divine, but it's not too hot as a moisturizer. WNRP
Bubble Detoxifying Clay Mask (full size) -- I don't know if I need a clay mask at this point in my life, but I definitely don't need this one. Difficult to apply, even using the included brush, ridiculous packaging (a cylinder inside a sphere), and it didn't do a thing for my skin. WNRP.
Exfoliating Body Wash (sample) -- Brand unknown, maybe MUAC? Nothing wrong with it, but I use a nylon scrubby cloth, so I don't feel I need an additional chemical exfoliant. WNRP.
Getting close on a liter-sized Matrix conditioner and a Mario Baedescu face spray.
Destashes: Benefit sugarbomb lip gloss, L'Oreal sugar scrub, Skin Gym face roller, and sadly, Zoya Cosmo nail polish, which I used to love, but the clear base has yellowed badly, so it no longer appeals.

3/5/26 - loccitane crème mains 20% shea butter 10mL, I previously used up a full size of this and loved it, this was a travel size I had in my stash. I definitely would repurchase this product and was glad I had a mini tube of it. Now I’m finally down to my last hand cream which makes me super happy that my project panning is working.
I’m trying to use up my last body butter, a fragrance free one from Trader Joe’s.
As for my lip balms- I’m still working on my laneige lip sleep mask (finally less than 50% left!). I’ve also restarted using up a Burt’s bees lip balm that’s over 50% used up as well.

I have been blazing through cream products. Got through a serum foundation, 2 contour sticks, 2 nude lip pencils, a loose powder, and 2 cream shadow sticks. Made a good dent in eyelid primer. Used up a Derma-E hair mask, Oui Wave Spray, and Dove body wash. Using Meyer's handwash as a body wash. Was tempted to repurchase a shadow stick, but forced myself to use Hourglass pressed eyeshadow in Vivid and I love the color. The sticks are more convenient. Used a laura mercier shadow stick as a contour and it went FAST.
Began using lipstick as blush—it totally works. Not hopeful about these strange “illuminating” products, namely Laura Mercier's Glow Powder and Translucent Glow Powder, and Chanel's Baume sticks in a light pink and light peach shade. I LOVE the Baume stick in Sculpted and Lilac. My powder blushes are all 5-10 years old and it might be time to retire those jerseys.

Sisley - Purifying face mask (8ml) - managed to squeeze two uses out of this. It was nice. WNRP a full size though.
Farmstay - Real Coconut essence sheet mask - Loved this for the price. Bargain. WRP.
Sunday Riley - A+ Retinol (2ml) - Was fine, smelled a bit like paint thinner so ill stick to my Medik8. WNRP.
Rituals - Mehr body scrub (125g) - Love this so much. I've got another mini size of the Sakura to try next. WRP.
Dr Dennis Gross (1 pad) - just working through my stash. I cut them in half to make them last longer.
MZ Skin - Gold eye patch (1 of 2 pairs) - This was nice enough but would I walk into a store and hand them £22 a time? Would I buggery. I've got another set to use this month, then WNRP.
