I've been busy using up more products. This always makes me so happy to know that I actually used up some stuff.
First off I went to Mexico (the same place we went in this vacation here) for my brothers wedding. The hubby and I used a lot of sunscreen in just a few days. I mean a lot! We used up two brand new cans of spray sunscreen and just had enough for the last day. What makes this even more shocking is we wore rashgaurds (t-shirts) most of the time that we swam so we didn't even really need it on our backs.
Just a little bit more background for you, my hubby is a ginger and I am person who gets sun hives (with or without sun protection), so we get the highest SPF we can for added protection. I also know people just don't apply as much sunscreen as they should for proper coverage, my method to combat this is to buy a higher spf, its crazy and most likely doesn't work, but I feel better and end up with less hives. Last time we went we burned really bad swimming so were trying hard not to repeat that mistake.
Banana Boat Kids Tear-Free UltraMist Sunscreen Spray in 60 SPF: This is supposed to be UltraMist (like a thing they invented I guess) but went on in a stream. It works well in a few ways because it makes it easy to see and rub around, but doesn't go on in anything resembling a mist. I screamed every time the put it on my back because it was so cold and in a stream Would I buy it again? Truth be told it works well, I think we just got a defective can, so yes I would try it again. PS we got kids incase we needed it for our nieces who were traveling with us on the trip.
L'oreal Casting Step 3 (Conditioner): I coloured my hair using L'oreal Casting right before leaving, I packed up a refillable bottle with Palmer's Olive Oil Conditioner and I brought this baby along for the ride. Both were used up at the end of the week. Would I buy it again? While not something you can go out and get on its own, I really did like it, it's a nice hair mask.
Joe Fresh Pop Goss: I got this back in 2011 when I won a contest, so it is old now and needed to go. Would I buy it again? Yes, it was a sheer lip gloss with an iridescence to it that I liked. I don't think they sell it anymore though.
Elf Studio Exact Lash Mascara: I've gotten so many of these over the last year and a half, I really like the tiny wand for lower lashes and tightening lashes. It also is crazy waterproof ( a big deal for me). But like all Elf mascaras they dry up almost right away into a hard mess. This was this mascara's fate. Would I buy it again? Yes, I still have more though. I will find a way to stop it from drying up.
ELF Lip Stain: I've had this forever, it sort of is just too old to keep, and dried up. Would I buy it again? I would, which is strange for me to say. I like stains when doing bold lips, it gives them longer staying power.
VitaBath Original Spring Green Body Lotion: I got this in a glossy box. I used it up just a little while ago. It has that classic Vita Bath smell I remember from growing up. My mom used Vita Bath quite a bit when I lived with her. It is a very strong scented lotion, but it really is nice. Would I buy it again?Maybe. I liked this size for in my purse and using on my hands and arms when out an about. I have so many creams I doubt I'll ever need to buy more.
Bioré Acnre Cleansing Scrub: I got this in a bag from an event I attended. The hubby used it in the shower. Would I buy it again? Not for a long time. I am trying to get the hubby to use up other acne /oil skin care cleansers that I have been given in an attempt not to waist them. He did say he liked it, so if he requests it I would pick him up one.
Biore Combination Balancing Cleanser: I got this for the hubby after he used up the first one I got at the Biore Girls Night In Event I hosted in 2011. He seems to like it quite a bit. Would I buy it again? Maybe, he seems to have moved on to Marcelle Ultra Gentle Cleansing Gel and loves it a lot.
There we go, another 10 down in my quest to record what I toss. Have you tossed anything lately?
