I love the packaging. I think it looks very sleek and pretty! The mist feels nice and lightweight, but I’m not into the scent at all. It’s labeled as a gentle product for all skin types but it has a very strong fragrance in it, to the point where it genuinely smells like you’re spraying a floral perfume onto your face. I lost count of many times I've coughed after spraying it! So, I think it could definitely be a problem for people who are sensitive to fragrance. I really like how fine the mist is and it really does keep your skin feeling soft and hydrated throughout the day like it claims. Overall, I like the mist and I’ll definitely keep using it. I don’t think I’ll be purchasing it with my own money once it runs out though, because the fragrance is a lot to handle. -
My Clarins RE-BOOST Refreshing Moisturizing Cream
The same scent as the spray just a little toned down. It's very floral and I don't like it. It has a nice lightweight and smooth texture, it isn't heavy at all. It works really good and I was surprised by how moisturizing it was. It’s labeled as a... +
The same scent as the spray just a little toned down. It's very floral and I don't like it. It has a nice lightweight and smooth texture, it isn't heavy at all. It works really good and I was surprised by how moisturizing it was. It’s labeled as a day cream but I wouldn’t personally use it during the day since it does leave your face feeling quite tacky for a while afterward. I think if you purchased this with the intent to use it at night, it would be great. Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s anything special so I’ll be handing it off to my grandmother to try. Not to say it isn’t good, because it is and if you’re looking for a new moisturizer, go ahead and try it! I just happen to have a moisturizer that I love and that this one unfortunately just couldn’t surpass. -

Here is my review on the St. Ives Shower Foam that I received for free through ChickAdvisor.
First of all, it smells SO good. I was a little afraid that this product might dry my skin out since it’s a foam, but it left my skin feeling clean and hydrated! there was no tight or dry feeling on my skin at all. The foam doesn't feel too foamy, it has a smoothness to it that I really liked. I tried using it with and without lotion afterwards, and while it does work better with lotion, i noticed that even without lotion my skin still felt fine; my skin wasn’t glowing or anything, but it wasn’t dry and it still felt soft. The scent is quite strong and makes the entire bathroom smell great. Unfortunately it doesn’t last long on the skin. Overall, I would most likely buy this product again since I’m also interested in the other scents!

Bubly sparkling water lime
It tastes exactly like Sprite but with none of the downsides of soda. Super refreshing. I want to try the mango flavor next and maybe the cherry one too! I've tried the Strawberry one before and unfortunately, I can't say anything good about it. If... +
It tastes exactly like Sprite but with none of the downsides of soda. Super refreshing. I want to try the mango flavor next and maybe the cherry one too! I've tried the Strawberry one before and unfortunately, I can't say anything good about it. If you like the taste of Sprite and are looking for a healthier option this is definitely it. -
Essence Make Me Brow Eyebrow Gel

A good and easily useable product. If you're interested in trying Benefit's "Gimmie Brow", I'd recommend trying this first! It's a small fraction of the cost and works just as well as the Gimme Brow. It's lightweight and lasts all day but it doesn't have any hold, so apply something to keep your brows in place beforehand if you want them set in place. I just wish it came in darker shades. At the end of the day, it's still a great product though. -
e.l.f. Cosmetics High Definition Powder

This is my favorite powder I've used to date, even compared to my high-end ones. This leaves such a pretty finish on my skin and doesn't feel or look heavy at all. I rarely bake since I have normal to dry skin but if I ever feel like baking for some reason, it still looks great! One thing I don't like is the packaging. The puff makes it hard to close the lid so the powder gets out through it some times and makes a mess. -
Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation

Looks beautiful on my sister's skin but unfortunately, horrible on mine! It dries down matte and isn't forgiving at all towards people with dry skin. I have quite normal skin, leaning towards a little dry sometimes, and this foundation highlighted every dry spot on my face - even in places I wouldn't even classify as dry. It also dries very fast, so if you have dry skin it will stick to the dry patches and become even worse while blending it in. I'd only recommend to people who have combination or oily skin. -
Peripera Peri's Tint Lip Ink

This tint is HARDCORE. If you're looking for something that won't budge, this is the product for you. The colors are beautiful and feel great the lips, and super long lasting. The only reason I rated this 3/5 stars is because it's very hard to remove, even with an oil cleanser it's a lot of work to get off. I swatched it on my hand the first day I purchased it and my hand was stained for two days. -
Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

I used to use a Beauty Blender but they have to be replaced frequently, so it became quite expensive. I decided to give this sponge a try one day, just to see if it could perhaps be a dupe for the Beauty Blender. Spoiler: it is. It feels quite dense when it's dry but when you wet it, it becomes at least 2x bigger and super soft. Blends makeup beautifully, and leaves a very natural glow to your skin. -

This is my all time favorite cleanser. I use this after my oil cleanser and it's one of the only cleansers that I feel genuinely cleanses my skin well without drying or breaking it out. If you're sensitive to smells - specifically cucumber, I wouldn't recommend this because it has a very noticeable cucumber scent. I personally enjoy the scent and find it quite relaxing! It doesn't smell artificial at all, it's exactly like a freshly cut cucumber. -
