Finishing Products

 Well, it's been over a month with no post.

Sorry.

I've been busy finishing up lots of products. I lost my mind a couple years ago for beauty subscription boxes, and now I have more products than any human really needs. I hate wasting my money, so I am trying to finish up as much as I can before they go bad. Usually, skincare has an unopened shelf life of 3 years, but I just opened a new set that I realized came in a box LAST March. Like, a year and a half ago.

What set is it? So glad you asked! I'm trying the Meaningful Beauty set I got in a Bless Box. I haven't heard much about Bless Box in a while, so I'm not sure they're still around. This photo is still available in a Google search, but the site is one big 404 error.


The box included the face wash, serum, retinol night crème, SPF day crème, the eye crème, exfoliating scrub, and a plumping lip gloss. And yes, they do use the word "crème" and not cream. Is it because they're supposed to be French? I mean . . . ok. These were full-sized or slightly smaller 30-day supplies, and I got for maybe $30? It was a great deal. 

I just started using these yesterday, so I'll see how these work for me.
