I’ve been trying to make intentional purchases the past couple of years because I don’t want to return or exchange anything unless it’s absolutely necessary. I didn’t post a couple things I got because they’re repurchases of things I’ve already posted. I did an online and store pickup order for the extra points.

My favorite product out of everything is the Crown Affair leave-in conditioner and Ilia moisturizer. I’m brazen as hell even buying hair products while actively taking chemotherapy, but I’m an optimistic bitch. It’s a relatively low dose, but not low enough that I’m not falling asleep and waking up with the rim of my trash can printed on my face, hahahahelpmehahaha. The worst product I bought is the Ckylar perfume oil. It’s the weakest oil I’ve ever bought and literally only lasts like 15 minutes. I got it for a bedtime perfume, except it doesn’t even last long enough for me to go from the shower to bed, I’m so disappointed. That’s my second and last MAC lipstick. I just don’t like it. Mario has a nice weight and my most favorite thing ever….a magnetic lid. I love magnets.

I normally prefer unisex fragrances. The ones most people call masculine. The Rare beauty Woody Oak perfume balm….I’m going against my own words and calling her a man. She’s pungent! I thought she’d be great to slap down uber-feminine scents but he’s giving them a dick down instead. Dare I say, he’s too manly for me. My senses are off right now, so I’m hoping he’s less aggressive once my olfactory senses are back on track. I’m literally the girl who loves incense, all the woods, oud, cade/resins, spices, leather, etc. Idk why I kinda hate him. 😆 The Glossier….It smells great from a distance but up close, she’s DANK. It smells sour like sweat. I’d also argue the butter part because they put lotion in a jar. That’s not any butter I know. The Ckylar in a tube is thicker than this alleged butter. I loved the Ckylar body wash, it feels so silky on the skin. It’s crazy how bad their perfume oil sucks.

And what delayed my post besides feeling like hell? Oh, I poured boiling water from my electric kettle on my arm/wrist/hand. So you’ll see some pictures with a normal hand and my swatches with a wrapped hand. I’m sorry that the swatches suck.

I got the tech organizer over the sunglasses that I’d never wear because I have prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses (and I don’t have the head shape to pull the style of the freebies off anyway). The organizer is small af. I have no idea what tech they had in mind, but I’m guessing they meant plugs or air pods and not actual devices. I added some perfume sampies and decants and the mf wouldn’t even close. I guess I’ll use it for packet/flat samples.

Sorry this is all over the place. I don’t feel good and have been typing this in my notes for what feels like two weeks. If you have any questions about any product, I’ll answer the best I can.
