Origins Never a Dull Moment Face Cleanser

Some of you may remember seeing this face wash on my blog as I have written a post about the Be Bright special edition box it was part of back in April. Unbelievably, this sample lasted me a little over 4 months! It is a gel face wash and just a tiny drop of it creates a froth like I've never seen before, little goes a very long way with it. I use it daily with my Clarisonic Mia and happy to report that it works great. I feel like it thoroughly cleans my face leaving it soft and smooth. I hardly ever see any trace of makeup when I am applying my toner right afterwards. It's also Paraben-free! I've already purchased the full size as you can see below - estimating for it to last me 2 years! :)

Bath and Body Works Coconut Body Wash

Coconut Pineapple was one of the few new scents Bath and Body Works released for summer this year. I enjoyed every single minute of using this amazing body wash and I'm kind of sad that I finished it (Call me crazy but while using it, I had other body washes in rotation so I don't finish it too fast). In my most recent Bath and Body Works trip, I have spotted the summer collection on sale for 50% off, I may go back and stock up.

Garnier Fructis Style Full Control Hair Spray - Strong

I don't think I've ever wanted to finish a product so bad as I did with this hairspray. It took forever to finish but it finally did! I love its scent and hate that it leaves my hair super sticky. It makes it feel hard to touch. Unfortunately its supposedly "strong" hold doesn't really hold curls or style for that long, I'd say about 4 hours at most. I will not be repurchasing.

Organix Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo

I picked up the Moroccan Argan Oil shampoo and conditioner because I just couldn't pass up the buy one, get one free deal at Walgreens about a month ago. Well, sorry to say it's yet another product that doesn't work for me. Just like the Garnier hairspray I've talked about above, this shampoo smells divine but leaves my hair unbelievably dry and stripped off its natural oils. I also feel like after every wash my hair is tangled, thank goodness for conditioners. Nice to try you Organix but I won't be repurchasing.

MATRIX Biolage Ultra-Hydrating Balm

I've used the entire Biolage Hydratherapie line before I started blogging and that's when I began venturing out to trying other haircare products. It's always love all over again when I use any product from this collection. This balm, which I use as a conditioner, truly conditions my hair, leaves it tamed and soft. Matrix isn't a cheap brand but I always stock up when Ulta has the buy 3 get 2 free promotion because I know if everything else fails, I have something reliable to fall back on. Matrix makes some amazing haircare products that my hair loves!

LAVANILA The Healthy Deodorant in Vanilla Coconut

I'm officially done with my first Lavanila stick which was the Vanilla Coconut. Last time I was at Sephora sniffing all the scents, I believe there are 5, the only one I truly liked was Vanilla Coconut. In fact the other ones kind of made me gag. But this time I just loved the Vanilla Grapefruit so ended up getting it. I am really enjoying using this pricey ($18) but aluminum-free, healthy deodorant.

 I think I did ok this month, I was reeeeally hoping to finish that MAC Fix+ I'm trying to finish for the past year! Maybe next month?

Are there any products that you're desperately wanting to finish?
