I have not used powder foundation in a very long time and when I first started applying this on top of the NBN Perfecting Primer, I did not think it had the coverage power to cover up the redness around my nose or the broken capillaries on my cheekbones, but after giving the foundation a minute or two to "set" I had seriously smooth skin! The finish was VERY even and smooth and most of my redness was covered. I love that I did not need a setting powder to eliminate any tackiness that liquid foundations can leave behind. I also felt like I had next to nothing on my face!

Nude by Nature Perfecting Primer

It is hard to find primers that do not have silicone in them and to date this is only the second one I have come across! This feels more like skincare and doesn't leave your skin with that "slip" that a lot of other primers do. It also smells really nice! It is a bit tacky in finish, but rest assured that even if you use powder foundation, you will not have odd patches and your makeup will still apply evenly!

Matcha is normally not my thing, but I love the portable aspect of these sticks and that they are premeasured. I love taking these to work and making myself a cup of matcha in the morning. These have a great taste and are so convenient that I have made matcha a more regular thing in my tea/coffee drinking routine! -

I don't normally like ginger as I find it can be a bit "spicy" in tea, but this tea was so refreshing both morning and night and had a great scent too. It was also really great at settling my stomach after a meal or if I'm feeling a little nauseated. Such a great alternative to chamomile tea! -
eos Organic Smooth Spheres Lip Balm in Sweet Mint

As someone who owns, I kid you not 20 of these spherical delights, this has a refreshing minty scent and tingles slightly on the lips. I LOVE minty lip balms and this one is just perfect. I love the old formula, the shape of the balm and then scent, but I always had to reapply every hour. Now, I can go 4 hours (if I don't eat) without reapplying and with my lips still feeling comfortably smooth.

Inside one of these beautifully packaged boxes is a single waterless mask encased in a resealable bag. They say you can use this mask up to 3x to aid in collagen and elastin synthesis, but I was easily able to use this 5x so at $29 per use, it was slightly easier to stomach the price tag. The mask itself is SUPER pretty with the pattern doubling as a way to know which is the correct side to have on your skin! All you need to remember is that you want the pattern to show! The mask fits very tightly and has ear loops for the chin and face. I wish the forehead portion of the mask was a bit bigger as I would have liked the mask to go all the way up to my hairline. If Charlotte Tilbury hadn't come out with a dry sheet mask with the same technology for just $27/mask, I would probably purchase this one again because the technology is pretty fantastic. Dry sheet masks are less messy and honestly make my skin feel better than the wet ones because I don't like my skin feeling tacky which is what a lot of essences do. If someone gave me a Nannette de Gaspe mask I would be over the moon, but if I were to purchase another dry sheet mask? Between the two that I have tried, I'd have to go with the CT one just because I felt the results were pretty similar in terms of hydration, skin and ease of use. If there were no CT mask, I would definitely keep treating myself to this! -

I wore these liners for a full work day which from application to removal is around 11.5 hours and no it wasn't as crisp as when I first applied at 8am, BUT I didn't have inadvertent smoky eyes. I needed a cotton swab with oil-based eye makeup remover to fully remove this eyeliner so I would say that all in all, this is a liner I can trust for close to the waterline and for general drawing on the face since this is waterproof. My cut crease didn't budge for hours even when I tried! -

There was a bit of variation in application and consistency among the shades. I don't think there will be much to complain about when it comes to the satin finishes, but I would at least swatch the mattes as the two I had were quite different from each other with one being smooth and the other being patchy. -

This is what I use for ULTIMATE volume. In addition to getting those perfectly beachy waves that you see on those "wanderlust" travel Instagram accounts, this is really great at giving hair some massive volume at the roots. A blow out is really what gives you volume so what I do on day old hair is spray my roots and then blow dry while flipping my hair in the OPPOSITE direction. It honestly takes just one minute to be ready! The salt provides a clean-feeling texture while the water base lets you "start over" by giving you enough moisture for a fresh blow-out. -
