I gotta say, I have been pretty proud of myself for focusing on using up products! As a beauty junkie who has an addictive personality, all I want to do is buy, and buy, and buy. I just love shopping, and it's my downfall. I have been saving up for a house the last year and I am finally at the point where I can purchase, so I am proud in that sense to. Because I was saving, that meant less spending, and like I said, as a beauty junkie- It was hard, but I knew I wanted a house more than another basket of products that I probably wouldn't use up before expiration. So lucky for both of us, we now can talk about trash (and good things) about these products I have finished!

Please note that the products marked with * have been sent to me complimentary, in exchange for my honest review.

Let's jump right in!

BEAUTY PRODUCTS I RETURNED // WHY I DIDN'T LIKE THEM

I personally love reading posts regarding what didn't work for people, or why they won't be buying certain items, so I figured I'd hope back onto my blog and share the items I have returned (what i can remember, lol) within the last few years! Some of these were returned because of product quality, and some of these were returned because of my own personal preference, such as product consistency, shade range, etc. If these products work for you, please don't take offense to this post- In fact, please let me know! It would warm my cold dead heart to know they work well for other people!

This year, I made a goal for myself to be more mindful when purchasing beauty products. There is now a voice in my head that says "Christina, you have 3 shampoos at home, you don't need another one, especially considering you don't shower enough". Also, when purchasing items, I try to do more research before purchasing, but sometimes that doesn't guarantee I will like a product. With that being said, if I don't like the product, why should I keep it in my collection? I should return right away if I know I don't love it.

Let's get into it!
