Monthly Purchases: May 2020

Two posts in one week, who am I?!? 😛 I guess I had a burst of energy this week. Anywho. Now that we’ve looked at my May empties, it’s time to see what I bought during the month.

monthly purchases may 2020

repurchased product = repurchase (either same product/brand, or a different brand replacing same type of product)

monthly purchases may 2020 hawaiian tropic

Hawaiian Tropic – Sunscreen SPF 30 in Lotion and Spray (2 of each) repurchased product As I mentioned in my May empties post we’re huge fans of these products here. My husband prefers the spray, and my daughter and I prefer the lotion. The spray is quick and easy, and I do use it when we’re rushing to get outside. The lotion I like because it’s moisturizing. Swimming dries out the skin so when we need to reapply our sunscreen we moisturize at the same time. I bought two of each (not shown) because we go through these fast.

monthly purchases may 2020 quo beauty

Quo Beauty – Resin Jaw Clips repurchased product I’ve been wearing my hair up daily during the quarantine and I already broke a hair clip so I bought more just in case. I really like these because they have some rubber grips on the inside that helps keep the hair in better. They also feel sturdy compared to the ones I already have (and have had for years).

Quo Beauty – Diamond Ceramic Cushion Brush repurchased product My current brush is old, and I mean OLD. Not sure when I bought it, but it was probably early 2000s and it has seen way better days. I’ve been looking for a new brush for a while and I like how this one has short bristles around the long ones. It also feels really good in the hand and brushes hair really well and comfortably.

monthly purchases may 2020 sweetspot vichy

SweetSpot – Cleanser (x2) repurchased product I’ve been repurchasing this product for a while now since I use it to wash my face in the morning.

Vichy – Minéral 89 Fortifying & Hydrating Daily Skin Booster repurchased product I’ve used this product before and really liked it. I bought this one to use after going in the pool. My face gets really dry after a swimming session so two pumps of this all over my face gives it a good dose of hydration. When I went to buy it, there were these combo packs so I grabbed this one to give the Neovadiol Rose Platinium Rosy Cream a try. There were two other versions (different creams), but this one seemed to better suit my skin’s needs (based on a quick read of the different products). When I opened the box I also found a sample of the Minéral 89 Eyes so I’m really happy to give that one a try too.


And that’s all I bought last month. I won’t lie, the itch to shop just for fun is getting strong. But there’s nothing that I need, and being home all the time, I don’t want to buy products that will just sit in a drawer.

How has your spending been going? Are you splurging on items just for fun, or sticking to only what you need?
