My box needed to be cleaned out, so I thought I'd start us off this month! I don't know if I'll ever be able to get rid of this much in a month again... Sorry it's so long!
FULL SIZED
Loved:
Gud Natural Cleansing Wipes in Orange Petalooza - refreshing with amazing fragrance
Lush Shoot for the Stars Bath Bomb - beautiful, wish it were year-round
Juicy Couture Juicy Couture 1oz - still my favorite fragrance
Benefit Hello Flawless powder in I Love Me Ivory - my perfect match
Covergirl Clump Crusher by Lash Blast in Black/Brown - my favorite drugstore mascara, all used up
Yes to Blueberries towelettes - light scent, always a repurchase
Liked:
CVS Regular Polish Remover - it's polish remover
Lush Rose Jam Bubbleroon - great scent, ok bubbles
Bath & Body Works Body Scrub in White Citrus - love the scent, old formula
Body Shop Shower Gel in Honeymania - enjoyed, just not my favorite
Softlips chapstick in Blackberry Lemonade - great formula, good scent
Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in Light - another great drugstore option, would like a touch lighter
Bath & Body Works antibacterial hand soap in Papaya Melon Scoop - probably not making this anymore...
It was OK:
Me! Bath Bath Ice Cream in Amber Waves - been spoiled by Lush!
Clearasil Refreshing Fruit Scrub - fragrance is off-putting
Que Bella Cooling Glacial Gel Mask - cooling doesn't last very long, does little else
Home Collection Odor Gel Beads in Lychee Watermelon - I like stronger fragrances
Julep Moisture Mask, one for Hands one for Feet - cheaper to just put on lotion with socks/gloves
Daisy Marc Jacobs shower gel - not a great lather, good scent
Not for Me:
Idaho Brown Bag Soaps Goat Milk Hand Soap in Citrus Orange - a gift, but not something I'll pick myself
Not pictured - Crest Be Adventurous toothpaste, Mint Chocolate Trek - threw out, it hurt my gums every time
DELUXE SAMPLES/MINIS
Loved:
Votivo candle in Azure Gardens - Birchbox find, must have more!
Juicy Couture Juicy Couture fragrance mini - see above; I love this.
Juicy Couture Juicy Couture body souffle - great way to boost the fragrance
Liked:
See by Chloe fragrance mini - so glad I have a replacement! Not sure I'd pay full price...
Caldrea shower gel in Aloe Water Apricot - Birchbox find, smells fantastic
It was OK:
Philosophy Time in a Bottle for Eyes - not sure it's anything special
Vasanti Brighten Up! face wash - Birchbox find, dry formula
Not for Me:
Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel - couldn't handle the chemical smell
No 4 Clarifying Shampoo - Birchbox find, just didn't like it at all
FOILS/REGULAR SAMPLES
Loved:
Simone by Tocca fragrance x6 - normally don't care for Tocca but this was beautiful
Acqua di Gioa by Giorgio Armani vial - already own a full sized!
Liked:
Yellow Diamond by Versace fragrance - pretty, want to sample more
Chloe by Chloe fragrance x6 - so expensive, but pretty!
Dolce by Dolce & Gabbana fragrance x6 - tempted, but it doesn't last long
Bright Crystal by Versace fragrance x6 - already have a rollerball
Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet by Dior fragrance x6 - also pretty but not long lasting
Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf vial - this keeps growing on me
Bumble & Bumble Surf Foam Wash & Creme Rinse - not sure why I liked it so much, but I might buy more
L'Occitane Ultra Rich Body Cream - a nice option for layering with other scents
It was OK:
Viva la Juicy by Juicy Couture vial - my least favorite of Juicy
Caldrea body lotion in Aloe Water Apricot - Birchbox find; a little too thick
Lush Bohemian soap - still like the scent, but this sample would NOT lather!
Not for Me:
Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana fragrance x2 - I've tried this repeatedly and just can't learn to like it
Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Hair Cream - maybe I used it wrong, but it just didn't work
