All of these from Allure beauty box except eye mask.
Grace and Stella eye mask-it’s ok, trying to make myself use these more often to get through them.
Rodial Vit C papaya enzyme scrub. Was a bit drying for my face, started to use it as a body scrub to use it up within 6 months, because of the shelf life for Vit C products in general. WNR
BE face oil. For how oily it was, it didn’t break me out. Used at night. Lasted about 5 months. Might repurchase.
Grown Alchemist daily moisturizer. Was ok, nothing special. Used only in the morning and tube lasted about 6.5-7 months. Had a fragrance which some may not like or react to. WNR
Blake Brown hair mask-Santal scent. This was full size, fairly strong fragrance which luckily went away as I got thru the container and also didn’t last too long once shower was over. This took forever to use up, used it about 2x/week, and lasted me about 6 months. WNR

Grace & Stella Eye mask-ok, got a bunch at Costco and trying to remember to use them from time to time
Paul Mitchell Clear Hair gel (forgot official name)-Allure Box-liked it well enough but I have 2 similar products to work my way through.
Paul Mitchell Clear Jelly Hair Mask-also from Allure box. Also liked it, the sample size lasted for 10-12 uses and it was the perfect size for travel this summer. However I have 2 full size hair masks to finish up.
Vaseline lip therapy-got this while traveling in UK last year. Love it and bummed that it doesn’t seem to be available in US unless I shop on Amzn. Worked great as a lip mask overnight or whenever.
Ouai body scrub-love, will repurchase. I like to get these when I have a gift card to Sephora or Ulta as a splurge, or buy it during my bday month.

Photos are indoors (swatches on tissue were taken near an open window with no other indoor light, arm swatches taken indoors with a light on and again with natural light)
Top to bottom:
YSL candy glaze shade 15 Showcasing Nude
Tower 28 lip softie Ube Vanilla
Florence lip oil (adjusts to pH so on me it turns fuschia unless I use a very light hand or put it on over clear chapstick or Vaseline)
Sephora collection-(more glossy)Galactic Plum
Sephora-satin finish-18 Extreme Power
ABH Kiss Theory-Riddle Red
Fwee pudding pot-Mule
Most of these look different on my lips than on my arm-not sure why, but there you are. The YSL is my purse lippie as it’s closest to a neutral and MLBB.
Trying to hate pan the Florence one-it’s good for spring/summer and I love the feel of it, but the color makes me feel like it’s the 90’s
Like the feel of Tower 28 but it’s better on me in fall/winter
Galactic Plum is a favorite for how it feels
The other Sephora one is for evenings out-pretty bright on me.
Just got the ABH one but feels great and I posted some swatches in another thread after I got it
Fwee is another bold red but I find it works best applied with a brush instead of my finger to control the color. Matte finish but not drying at all.

So, for some reason I can’t post photos on a reply, so here are some pictures (based on a post from about 2 weeks ago and request for swatches yesterday). Lip photo taken after I had my drink-still a lot of color despite the transfer to the can! Hand swatch outside the store. It’s a little more pink than red, but I still love the color.

Most of these were samples/travel sizes. Should note the Nivea sunscreen was used by family, not just me. Blush wasn’t a full pan (was about 2/3 used up then I dropped it, so most of the product crumbled and I felt it wasn’t worth keeping after the trip. Eucerin lasted just thru the last day of the trip! (Full size, opened in late March)

It’s Friday! Trying to move out of my comfort zone with a bold lip. Shade is Fwee Pudding Pot in Mule.

I always like coming home with fewer toiletries than I brought. All of these had been started earlier in the year, all but the FP balm were sample or travel size.
ETA: I forgot to mention I also brought (and used) 6 pairs of eye masks, ‘cause self-care.

Not sure I would classify myself as “fair”, maybe medium? ( see pics of arm/hand to give any idea of how I tan since I’m not as disciplined about reapplying SPF on hands)
First pics are mid afternoon with some sun, last batch (gray tshirt onward) are on an overcast morning. Also re-took the arm/hand photos in that light if that is helpful. Also FWIW I had my colors analyzed years ago and was a Winter.
