may mask maven 2016

i did get this 2 days ago, shipping was fine. 
this month was about hydration. my skin is getting less dry, but the nights are cold, which makes my skin dry again.


no:hj soothing mask-snail
i'm really excited because it's snail in mask form! i don't think i've tried a snail mask, so i'm going to be using this very soon.

no:hj soothing HA mask-i have used some HA masks, and i do like them. i like the floral on package.

mediheal paraffin foot mask-i have only tried the peeling foot masks, so i hope this also does and makes them softer.

aritaum fresh pearl mask-i think i've used the pearl mask from sephora but that was it. my skin could use some brightening.

aritaum HA mask-i'm not sure how much healthy dose of HA is, but this packet claims to have .002 g of it. that doesn't seem like a lot, but i hope it works.

my beauty diary red wine mask-this has antioxidants, which are good for the skin. my face could use some vitamins after long makeup days.

scinic HA mask-this one should deeply hydrate, and i like the package.

scinic snail matrix mask-i'm picturing neo snails fighting in the matrix after reading that. i am exciting since it has snail in it. the snail on the front is cute.

this was the mystery mask, tony moly broccoli mask- i think i've used this before but i do like his masks.

i did like this month because of 3 HA masks and 2 snails masks. i'm also exciting for the foot one to see if it peels.

empties 6

there's a lot of things, they piled up, i can't deal with it anymore. my camera charger is still MIA, so ipod had to do. so that's happening.


this started in january, after the other one.

hair care-tresemme shampoo-didn't do a lot of moisture but it cleaned my hair. i think i have another somewhere. garnier damage eraser butter-i really liked this and would repurchase. it left my hair soft. i'm going to try the honey mask they have and see how they compare. marc anthony moroccan oil hair conditioner-it was nice, it also left my hair softer. i would repurchase again.


makeup-revlon foundation-the color matches me, i bought the oil formula for my next one because it's getting warmer out. kat von d mascara-didn't like this. the brush was very stabby and my lashes were caked or not coated in product at all, would not repurchase. hard candy primer-already repurchased, it helps my makeup stay longer. loreal true match n1 powder-this matches my skin and already repurchased. it works great for me. makeup forever blue primer sample-i loved this for how it made the redness in my skin slightly lighter and overall slightly paler. i did buy the full size, i wear it on mostly less makeup days. real techniques brush gel cleanser-didn't like this because it didn't clean my brushes as well as my baby shampoo and it was tough to get out. i wouldn't buy the full size. urban decay primer-i have a back up of this and would like to try the anti aging formula. the physicians formula boosting liner-i love this and am already using another one. i will repurchase this. fresh sugar lip treatment-i liked how it moisturized, but it felt too slick and would move around a lot. it also kept smearing inside the tube, so it was hard to get product out. the covergirl ones are better, and cheaper.


randoms-pumpkin and strawberry pocketbacs-i have many of the halloween ones (i have cat and bat holders). i'll repurchase when those run out. fcs shower steamer-this didn't work as well as i hoped. i don't know if it was because it was a softer scent, but i wouldn't repurchase. sweater weather, evergreen, twisted peppermint wallflowers-i like these and it's close to my bed so i can smell it during the night. i have a lot of these, so i'll repurchase when those run out. gummi dinos-because i'm 5 inside and i need a vitamin.


and there's a crap ton of skin care..............i kid you not. i've been trying to use up a lot of my masks (it's summer so i should have more time).
coconut lime and passion fruit scrubs-these are nice and i really like the scents. i have repurchased other scents.

 freeman foot scrub-it was ok, didn't really exfoliate well. i wouldn't purchase it again. pomegranate body wash-i like the scent and it did clean me. i would get it on sale but i have a crap ton of body wash from b&bw.

 ahava lotion-i like this because it isn't sticky and soaks in. i have the bigger size in my bag. hawaiian ice bath bomb-i've been trying to use bath bombs more, and this one had a nice scent and turned the water milky. i have other scents to try. eye cream-i think doctor was in the name, it was a sample from sephora. it worked nicely, but i have samples of eye creams to use.

spalife gold masks-it came with 3 gels inside and they were so pretty. it did add moisture and my skin felt nicer after using. if marshalls has them again i would get them.

equate remover wipes-i have another one to use and i do like these. sephora pomegranate and lingzhi night masks-these were nice and i have other scents in them. glamglow mud cleanser sample-i didn't like this that much and it didn't really do anything for my skin. i wouldn't get this again.

hanaka lip patch-i liked this and would get another scent. the peach was pretty strong and i'm not a fan of peaches. vichy gel sample-it was ok, i only got one use out of it, so i wouldn't purchase it. ptr irish mud mask-this i didn't like except for that it was black. it was sticky and wouldn't come off unless you scrubbed hard. it didn't do anything for my skin but leave tiny black dots all over, clogging my pores. it was gross looking, would definitely not repurchase.

recipe grape mask, baviphat green tea juicy mask-did moisturize my skin and felt nice. mj dead sea-smelled like soap and my skin felt soft but drier. mediheal soda bubble mask-i would get this again for the lone fact that it bubbled. it also did make my skin feel nicer.

sephora pomegranate, lingzhi, ginseng eye patches-these were nice and did make my eyes look less tired. prelab aqua masks- this was very moisturing and my skin liked it. 

dermal charcoal mask-this was nice to use. my juicy bottle mask-it was nice and did hydrate.

so that was more empties than expected and now i can throw them away and have more room on my desk. :)

huge lipstick haul

so 12 lipsticks in 2 weeks, i wanted to try them all. i have worn most of them, so mini reviews can show up.
i have the covergirl katy kat, mayebelline vivid matte liquid, nyx ombre lip duo, urban decay alice wonderland, and jordana sweet cream matte.


 top- jordana sweet marsala wine(tried), rose macaron, creme brulee(tried) $4.99 each
bottom-nyx rags and riches(tried), maybelline possessed plum(tried), vivid violet(tried) $11.99 and $7.99, ulta
the jordana ones need a lip balm under them or it will show how dry your lips are. the darker ones are going to need 2-3 coats to get fully opaque. they smell of cake batter. the nyx one i like and it looked very pretty. it doesn't dry out your lips and does stay for most of the day, but slightly fades at the end. the maybelline ones stayed all day and it was a comfortable matte, i didn't feel like anything was on my lips. it only slightly transferred but it didn't affect the color or texture.


 top-covergirl sphynx, pink paws, catoure, maroon meow, cosmo kitty, perry panther $6.94, walmart




 top-alice(tried), mad hatter $18 each, ulta
middle-iracebeth, mirana
bottom-time
i do live alice a lot and the formula it's drying. it stays creamy and does transfer to drinkwear but the color is still there.



FCS summer 2016 soap box

i did get the summer 2016 box and ended up keeping 3 of the 8 products, gave to friend. i did enjoy finding nemo but i have a lot of bath products to go through. i did cancel my subscription, but i would recommend it to others. some pictures might seem weird, i still haven't found the battery charger, so my phone had to do.
 products inside the box

 nemo theme card

 (kept)shark bait soap-it smells exactly like an orange creamsicle.

 (kept)whale talk perfume and jelly man jelly soap-whale talk smells like florals mixed with a fresh scent. it doesn't smell fruity at all.

 lil blue sanitizer and intervention whipped cream- the sanitizer mostly smell of apple and slight florals and the whipped cream has a faint hint of coconut but not much pineapple.

 aqua scum lotion, fin noggin dude fizzy, and ohh barracuda lip gloss- the lotion had a faint apple scent with florals, no peach and i have no idea what lychee smells like. the fizzy smelled like a lime skittle. the lip gloss smells like melon fruit, i didn't try the color but it looks like a light pink, probably sheer.

this was the empty box, with a 'egg' inside.
i did like this box and the products all smelled good. i still have some things from the lorax box from spring. i kept the products i really liked, the perfume, and the 2 soaps. i have lots of lotions and sanitizers. my friend loves nemo and dory so she loves everything she got.
