So it&#8217;s again another surprising month of emptying so many products. Some of which are repeats. So I will only give full reviews of ones I have not posted about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amika &#8211; Soulfood &#8211; Nourishing Mask &#8211; $13 for 3.3 oz :: It is a bit on the expensive side for a mini. I did enjoy the scent of the hair mask. When running the product through my hair it was soft and nourishing but not the best compared to others which will leave my hair even softer. So I&#8217;ve had better options which I&#8217;ll share recommendations in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amlactin &#8211; AHA Lotion &#8211; $12.99 :: I&#8217;ve shared my thoughts on this. Drug store brand but nothing exciting about it. I used it mainly on my backs and chests due to body acne. The AHA had it&#8217;s benefits but if I didn&#8217;t have other options at the house I may repurchase this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Purlisse &#8211; Coconut Oil + Plumeria Body Butter &#8211; $24 for 6 oz :: While the scent was powerful it does melt away fairly quickly. I&#8217;ve tried another scent from them which I enjoyed a bit better. I do love this brand for a body butter. I&#8217;ve gotten this many times in a subscription box but I would definitely want to purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hero Cosmetics &#8211; Body Brave Scrub and Wash &#8211; $12.99 each :: LOVE and WOULD REPURCHASE! I&#8217;ve reviewed this quite a few times but you should already know my thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflekt 2 &#8211; Refining Serum &#8211; $83 for 30ml :: BOY oh BOY &#8211; this is an expensive product. I used it mainly in the mornings and it took awhile to finish it. There was no noticeable scent in the serum and it blended well into my skin. Did I notice major changes in my skin? Not major changes but some slight differences like my skin was brighter and maybe tighter but one day I&#8217;ll repurchases &#8211; just not right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Youth to the People &#8211; Superfood Antioxidant Cleanser &#8211; $12 for 2 oz :: I&#8217;ve reviewed before. I still enjoy this cleanser. It definitely helps my skin clear up but I think I prefer this more in the summer than winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep Cool &#8211; Sooth Water :: This is a micellar water makeup remover. Yeah &#8211; NO. Hardpass. Irritated my eyes and did not take my waterproof makeup off well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peach Slices &#8211; Snail Rescue Toner &#8211; $13 for 4.05 oz :: While I enjoyed this toner for breakout days. It wasn&#8217;t so exciting to repurchase but for the price it is not bad at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>H2O Plus &#8211; Moisture Replenishing Serum &#8211; $54 for 1 fl oz :: This serum is a bit milky liquid at the same time. Which isn&#8217;t bad at all. The scent was a bit weird but a little goes a long way. I definitely will use it again as a hydrating base once I go through others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>European Wax Center &#8211; Ingrown Hair Serum &#8211; $12.50 for 0.33 oz :: For my first Brazilian Wax experience &#8211; I needed to make sure I don&#8217;t have ingrown hairs or bumps, which I do experience from time to time. Totally works! I would definitely repurchase again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Good Patch &#8211; Dream &#8211; $11.99 for 4 patches :: LOVE this melatonin patch. It really helps me fall asleep and stay asleep. Period. Definitely go a try it. It is a bit pricey but works for sure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\"><blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CYJ7pSdrF_L\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
