Here are some products I finished or decided to part with:
Derma E Hyrdating Night Cream ($29.50): I really liked this cream! It didn't work any miracles, but it absorbed into my skin nicely and kept me hydrated.
Rating: 8/10
Would I repurchase? Yes
Kat Von D Shade + Light Two Tone Blush Duo, Piaf + Poe (discontinued): Ok I know, I know. This is old. But I liked it and kept it a while but now it feels like my brush doesn't pick up any product from it, so I'm tossing it.

Trader Joe's Brazil Nut Body Scrub ($5.99, limited edition): I'm a big fan of Trader Joe's, but one thing that breaks my heart is how they have limited edition products! I want this body scrub year-round!! This scrub was gritty but also felt moisturizing and smelled soooo good.

Wet n Wid Photofocus Foundation ($6.89): I've had this for way too long - like probably from when they just launched this foundation. It's a pretty average foundation. Not great, but not bad. The price point is great so if you're on a budget and not picky, you'll probably really like it! The old formula smells a little like paint, but hopefully they got rid of that by now. I believe they have a matte and dewy formula now.

Maybelline Master Precise All Day Liquid Liner ($8.99): An average liquid liner. I got this as a sample from Ulta a while back, but wasn't impressed. I still haven't found a liquid liner I like better than NYX Epic Ink!

Would I repurchase? No
NYX Precision Brow Pencil, Ash Brown ($11): My favorite brow pencil for years! I'm holding off from a 10/10 rating because in my mind, the perfect brow product wouldn't fade at all and this does a little (as does every pencil or product I've used).
Rating: 9/10
Would I repurchase? Yes
elf Putty Bronzer brush ($5): I did not like this for applying the putty bronzer, but I also just didn't like their putty bronzer. I did, however, like this for setting my undereyes with powder or even blending out concealer under my eyes. It was a tiny bit big for that purpose, but I didn't mind. I like that it's dense. I would potentially purchase again for that purpose (and it's very affordable), but I like to try different brushes unless I really love a brush and want to keep buying it.

Paula's Choice Weightless Body Treatment 2% BHA ($29, 7oz): This lotion was smooth and absorbed super quickly into my skin. Unfortunately, I didn't see any improvement in my skin's texture. No product has every helped with bumps and irritation, so I'm giving up on all the expensive stuff and just going to focus on keeping my skin moisturized. I also don't feel like this deeply hydrated my skin compared to some other lotions I've tried. This also had a strange scent I couldn't put my finger on. It wasn't bad but also not great.

NYX Liquid Sueded Cream Lipsticks (discontinued): It's always sad for me to see a product I liked get discontinued, but especially the ones from NYX because I used to work in their retail stores and was surrounded by these products every day. I recommended this product in the shade Soft Spoken to nearly everyone! I still use it on brides and other makeup clients all the time (more often in the Suede Matte lipstick version than the Liquid Suede version). If you liked this product too, you have to try their new Lip Lingerie XXL formula! It's even more comfortable on the lips and comes in a ton of beautiful shades! I did keep some of my liquid suedes (even though they're so old) but I had to toss these because I haven't worn any of the funky colors since I worked at NYX. And I don't wear a whole lot of makeup anymore but when I do, I reach for the same handful of lipsticks I like. None of these have been touched in years. But shout out to Stone Fox (the grayish blue color) because I remember being so captivated by that color when it came out! I was never one to wear weird shades but I had to try it! I'll include a pic below for the nostalgia :)
