XOX ♥ MakeupMaybelline Illegal Lengths Fiber Extensions Mascara - I used this up a while ago so I can't remember a ton about it, but I do remember really liking it. I plan on repurchasing it sometime in the future. Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara - I wasn't crazy about this mascara at the beginning, but as it began to dry out I really became a fan of it. I loved how large the wand was and the mascara gave me great results on my top and bottom lashes. I might repurchase this, but I always like to experiment with new mascaras. Wet n Wild Mega Volume Mascara - I absolutely loved this mascara for giving me length, volume, lash separation and a bit of thickness. I have already repurchased this mascara. Elf Eyelid Primer - This primer is an everyday staple in my makeup routine and it really extends the wear of any shadow. EOS Tangerine Lip Balm Sphere - This is one of my favorite flavors in the EOS line and since it has a medicated formula, it has a thicker, more moisturizing feel on the lips, which I love. I repurchased this one a while ago. Nivea A Kiss of Milk and Honey Lip Balm - This is possibly my favorite clear lip balm and this is the second one I've used up completely. It doesn't have too much of a scent and it provides a thick layer of moisture to the lips. I haven't repurchased this yet, but I will. Maybelline Fit Me Stick Foundation in 115 - I don't wear foundation all over my face or to cover up uneven skin tone, so this product is perfect for me. I tend to have semi large areas of large pores or breakouts to cover and it's super simple to cover them with this product. This product is quite thin and never looks cakey and it's super easy to blend. I have repurchased it. Skincare & MoreForever 21 Rose Extract Makeup Wipes - I was not really a fan of these makeup swipes. They are quite thin and also not rose scented, like I had anticipated them too. They weren't bad, but I probably won't repurchase. Up & Up Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes - I have gone through a ton of these, as well as the blue version in the next picture. I don't really notice a difference between the two kinds, but I know I will be repurchasing one of them soon. Softsoap Citrus Splash & Berry Fusion Body Wash - This body wash smells really good and I suppose it did the job. I always like to try out new scents and brands, but I would repurchase it in the future. Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Oil Free Face Wash - I like how this face wash smelled, but I didn't find it to really help my skin the way that the face wash I am using now, so I doubt I will repurchase it. Clarisonic Sensitive Brush Head - I haven't really been using my Clarisonic for a while, but I did repurchase the brush head. I do still like the Clarisonic, so maybe I will get back into it. Equate Non-Acetone Nail Polish Remover - Since I've used this, I haven't gone back to the classic bottle of polish remover and cotton ball method. Using a remover soaked sponge makes taking off polish super quick and you don't have to waste any cotton balls. Clean & Clear Advantage Daily Soothing Acne Scrub - This product really helped me clear up my skin, and I love it. It is gentle enough to use everyday and has an amazing scent. I have repurchased it. Up & Up Cleansing Towelettes (x2) - I've been using these makeup removing wipes since I started wearing makeup and I will keep going back to them. They get the job done and they are less expensive than most other makeup wipes at the drugstore. Hair ProductsTRESemme Fresh Start Dry Shampoo - This was the first dry shampoo I tried out and I have found much better, so I won't be repurchasing. I didn't really find that it did much at all to remove any oil from my roots. Suave Dry Shampoo - This was a definite improvement from the TRESemme version, and while it's still not my top favorite, I would probably repurchase it since it's cheaper than Batiste. Batiste Light & Blonde Dry Shampoo - I was skeptical of this product due to all the hype it gets, but I really do like it. It doesn't remove more oil than other dry shampoos, but it doesn't leave a build up at my roots at all. I have repurchased a different scent, just so I can test out more of the line. Sexy Hair Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Renewal Beach Spray - I got this sample in an Ipsy bag and really enjoyed it. It helped give a beachy texture to my hair and I absolutely love the scent. Although it was pricey, I did purchase the full size.
Got 2 Be Guardian Angel Heat Protect Flat Iron Balm - It's hard to tell if a heat spray is doing its job, but there wasn't anything that I disliked about this product. I may come back to it in the future, but I am always trying new heat protectant sprays. TRESemme Tres Two Hair Spray - This has been my go to hair spray for forever and I'm still loving it. I have repurchased two of these since this one and am almost out of one of them. XOX ♥ In the past two months I really have not bought many beauty products, and I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. I had planned on buying more items, but things kept being out of stock and since Christmas is getting closer, I don't do as much buying for myself.

XOX ♥ Please note: I am not expecting to get everything I'm asking for, for my birthday. I just like to give people many detailed options for my gifts.
Makeup:
XOX ♥ I don't go through products very fast, but I've decided to finally save my empties for an empties post. These are the products that I have used up over the past few months! MakeupRimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder: Unfortunately, I didn't actually get to use this product up. I only had the powder for a few days before dropping it on the floor, and it completely shattered. I do love this powder and bought a new one and have been using it for about three months now. Elf Wet Gloss Lash & Brow Clear Mascara: I've gone through four or five of these brow gels in the past and quite enjoy it. I would probably repurchase this, but I feel that I go through them really quickly. Right now I am using the Maybelline Clear Great Lash for my brows. L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara: I really enjoyed this mascara and was sad to run out. This mascara got better with age (as it dried out) and made my lashes look thick and of course voluminous. I will repurchase this in the future, but I have a bunch of mascaras to go through first. Anastasia Clear Brow Gel (Deluxe Sample): Despite this brow gel being small, it lasted me about four months. I really did like this brow gel, it kept my brows in place all day without looking crunchy. I got this one in an Ipsy bag and will not be buying another because I think they are way too expensive for a simple clear brow gel, and am fine using drugstore brands. NYC Liquid Eyeliner: This was a great liquid liner and the first one I ever bought. It contains a lot of product, so I didn't get to use it all up, but it was quite old and began getting clumpy, so I had to through it out. Now that my all time favorite liquid eyeliner (Sephora Color Proof) has been discontinued, I probably will repurchase this liner when I need a new one. HairSuave Keratin Infusion Shampoo (Travel Size): I like to buy the mini versions of shampoos and conditioners when they are available so I can see if I like the product before getting the full size. I liked this shampoo, it lathered nicely and did its job. I may purchase the full size. Suave Dry Shampoo: I really like this dry shampoo! It sprays nicely, smells amazing and does a great job at reducing oils and adding texture/volume. I have repurchased and am using a new one right now. L'Oreal Total Repair 5 Restoring Conditioner: Here's another mini hair product. This was a nice conditioner, especially for the drugstore. It was hydrating and made my hair pretty soft. I may purchase the full size, but I have two other conditioners open and one other that I want to try. TRESemme Tres Two Hairspray (Travel Size): I bought this hairspray to take with me when I travel. I already have the full size version and use it daily, and I have repurchased the travel size. Skin & BodyEquate (Walmart) Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes: I remove my makeup at night with makeup towelettes, so I go through about one a month. These towelettes felt a little rough at the beginning, but were fine as my skin got used to it. I would probably repurchase, but I don't go to Walmart all that often. Up & Up (Target) Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes (x2): This is the brand of makeup towelettes I always come back to. They get the job done and are inexpensive. They do about the same job as the ones from Walmart, but I go to Target more often, so I will probably repurchase these. Maybelline Clean Express Makeup Remover Facial Towelettes: I bought these for my vacation to the Bahamas because they say they remove waterproof mascara. The wipes did fine on the rest of my face, but did not remove my waterproof mascara! I won't be repurchasing these because I like the Target brand wipes just fine and these were more expensive. Suave Naturals Mango Mandarin Body Wash: This body wash lathered well and smelled nice, and I would repurchase from the Suave line of body wash, but I always get new scents whenever I need a new body wash. Neutrogena Blackhead Eliminating Daily Scrub: Sorry if it sounds a bit gross, but blackheads have always been my main skin concern. Although this scrub claims to "eliminate blackheads", it did no such thing. It was pretty good as a typical scrub, though. I'm not sure if I would repurchase, I will be trying out other scrubs first.
