current favs jan 2016

some current favs of jan., and i've added the date (because i have no idea when i post these without going through past posts).

|BEAUTY|

garnier micellar water-holy crap batman! i love this now for 2 reasons:i'm lazy and don't feel like washing my face normally. it also works and my skin looks better? i'm having less breakouts and it looks more evenly toned. i'm 1/4 through the bottle and have used it for a month now.

too faced love flush palette-i love the blushes in these and they are nicely pigmented. i use the coastal scents blush brush with it and blend it out with my powder after.
|NON BEAUTY|

leaves candle for b&bw-i haven't lit it but i do sniff it when it's near me. it's smells like cinnamon apple sauce. and i love cinnamon apple sauce, especially for breakfast.

kindle fire 6-i've had this for a few months but haven't been able to fully enjoy it until now. i use it for school as well as reading and internet. i might do a whats on my kindle posts at some point.

empties 5

 so there's a full bag of empties that have been waiting and it's time to get rid of that. this should have been a month ago, but life happens.

first with hair stuff

 vo5 shea vanilla shampoo and suave moroccan conditioner- they were both nice. i have other vo5 shampoos and i bought the suave conditioner again. i don't use the vo5 a lot unless i'm trying to fade a previous hair color. 

 tree hut shea shower wash-this was nice and it cleaned me. it was on sale which is why i got it.
i have another one somewhere.

 blackcurrant gel-this didn't really get me clean so i mostly used it to make bubbles for baths.

 strawberry macaroon-same thing as blackcurrant.

 tree hut shea sugar scrub-i liked this and it did smell nice. i have another one somewhere i think. i have another scrub i'm using.

 manic panic sirens song dye- this turned more green on my natural hair. i'm getting my hair done hopefully this weekend.

 argan oil shampoo and conditioner packettes-this were nice. they made my hair soft and smell good.

 hask argan oil vial-i loved this because it helped my frizz and it smells AMAZING. i have some more i bought over xmas.

ouidad shampoo sample-this cleaned my scalp but that's all i remember about it.

next with makeup

maybelline bold gold, gold rush and fierce and tangy color tattoos-this is more of a purge than an empty. these are dry and i can't rehydrate them. 

maybelline bb cream, fit me stick foundation and covergirl ready set gorgeous foundations-i use the covergirl or the bb cream almost everyday. i really liked the stick foundation since it was so easy to put on and it lasted. i have to get a back up of it after i go through some foundations.

physican's formula bb powder and elf powder- the bb one is way to dark for me and the elf one is heavy and looks cakey over everything. more purge than empty.

went n wild brulee-those final little pieces are all that's left. i have a new one i'm currently using.

makeup forever and bareminerals mascaras-i didn't like the smoky one, but i think i did like the bareminerals one.

physicians formula eye boosting liner-i mostly only use this one and i use it almost everyday. i'm have another one and should be getting a backup soon.

real techniques sponge-this was used for over a year (and kept clean!) but the texture started to get rough and my makeup wasn't looking as nice. i have another one and a back up.

and now for smellies

berrylicious wax tart-this smelled like blueberries and did smell my whole living room. it was nice and might get again.

 sleep and winter candy apple wallflowers-i liked both of these and it's right by my bed so i can sleep it easily. the sleep one was nice and relaxing. the candy apple was nice and fruity.

vanilla lime, midsummers night, and citrus tango car jars-vanilla lime wasn't that strong. citrus tango was nice for a week. midsummers night was the strongest and smelled like cologne. it lasted 2 weeks. i have more of these for my car.

now for skin care

 biore strips and cucumber eye pads-the biore strips are supposed to be ultra, but they didn't take much out of my pores. i could still find and extract sebum from them. i heard the deep clean ones work better so i'll try those. the cucumber pads were great to use after a mask and before going to sleep. i have a different brand of these.

 two mud masks (i ripped off the part where it told you what kind)-i think one was the dead sea and the other was a red clay warming one. i did like both. i bought the freeman blue one though. the warming one i would get again.

 sephora rose and eye patches-i liked both of these and would get these again. these would be used after a face mask or before bed.

 snp tiger and skin9 panda masks-i liked these and did send friends pictures. these did feel nice and my skin felt nice after.

 tonymoly avocado mask-this did hydrate my skin and it didn't smell weird. i have a few from tonymoly and enjoy them.

 sephora rose and ginseng sleeping masks-i liked the rose one and it smelled nice. the ginseng one was nice but i didn't like the smell. i would get the rose one again. they do sink in fairly quickly, so i would apply 30 mins before bed.

 deep cleansing gel-these were nice to use to clean my face before a mask.

fizz and bubble peppermint bath bomb-this did smell nice and wasn't super potent. i liked watching it before soaking. it didn't make my skin softer or anything. it was relaxing.

and for random stuff

 party mix cat treats-my cats did get many flavors of these and they finished a bag. they enjoyed it (they don't care about flavor).

vampire blood pocketbac-this is in my bat holder on my work lanyard. it was a plum scent and red colored. i liked it and i have a few backups.

first mask maven of the year jan 2016!

i did get this yesterday, but i was feeling sick and had work. So it's being posted now, sorry.

 this month's theme is land and sea, which it supposed to be masks that have something to do with nature.

 baviphat strawberry juicy mask-i like the packaging. it feels like there's a ton of liquid inside, so you can use it after the mask.

 baviphat green tea juicy mask-i have tried some green tea masks and they do moisturize my skin. i haven't heard of this brand before though.

 scinic firming juicy bottle mask-i haven't tried the last blue one i received, but this the red one. it has tomato in it, and i haven't tried a tomato mask yet.

 hanaka camellia mask-this is mostly flower extracts, and it brightens. i don't remember if i've had this brand before.

 hanaka marine mud and seaweed mask-i haven't used a mud sheet mask before, so this sounds interesting. 

 freeset donkey milk mask-i like the holographic package. i have some gel masks but they aren't donkey milk. i haven't tried this brand either.

 tonymoly pureness 100 mask-i have used tonymoly before and i really like them. it has glacier water in it (that's cool).

 snp otter mask-this has coconut oil and water and i do like wearing the designs. i have used snp and their masks are nice.

mediheal mogongtox soda bubble sheet mask-i've heard of bubble masks, but not the sheet kind. i haven't used either, so this should be interesting.

i like this theme, since it starts off the year naturally and it has a lot of hydration, since winter air dries me out. there are some more new brands and some interesting masks, like soda bubble and a mud sheet mask. the packaging is always beautiful for these.
