This mascara is definitely volumizing, but not in a good way. The thick formula really weighs down my lashes and causes them to droop throughout the day. I had to use my lash comb to help de-clump and better disperse the product.
It's definitely waterproof, though!

I've been a long time fan of CLEAN fragrances, and knew this scent would be right up my alley. I love bright citrusy scents especially when combined with florals that aren't overpowering.
Nectarine Petal is light and gorgeous for spring - but the scent fades away as quickly as the season. It has very little staying power, which means I have to reapply it throughput the day to maintain the fragrance. I'll happily keep this rollerball in my purse to freshen up on-the-go, but sadly can't see myself repurchasing unless they reformulate this fragrance into their classic lineup.

I was gifted this complimentary in exchange for my review, and had high hopes for this moisturizer given how much I love the Oat Gel moisturizer by Aveeno. Unfortunately, the texture and tone was a total miss. I'm quite fair, but this gave me a ghastly white cast; definitely not suitable for all skin tones, as per their claims. The texture felt sticky and tacky on my skin, and gave me a greasy appearance overall.
I tried to give this product a second chance as a primer under my makeup, but it did not give my foundation/concealer any longevity. I would only recommend this to anyone who is exceptionally pale, though even then I would still have reservations about it.

juliette has a gun sunny side up
I received a mini of this from Sephora and I'm saving up for a full-size! It is a very unique scent; citrusy yet spicy. It makes a great daytime fragrance with just the right amount of sex appeal.

Before trying this, my hands were permanently dry. This has completely changed how my hands look and feel!
While this has a whopping 20% shea butter content, it is also jam packed with wonderfully nourishing coconut, grapeseed, olive and sunflower oils. It may be a thicker consistency, but it's completely non-greasy and melts into the skin for moisture that lasts all day long (even with excessive hand-washing). I don't need to reapply, but sometimes I do just so I can indulge in its rich French Vanilla scent. A little goes a long way; I've had this tube since July and I've only just made a dent in it!

I am a huge fan of anything and everything Bite Beauty releases, but the Liquified LIpsticks are easily my favourite products from their line.
These are so richly creamy and beautifully pigmented. While they aren't transfer-proof (they don't dry down as they are essentially a melted-down creme lipstick), they still last quite a long time on the lips.
I want every single colour from this lineup!

Very cool and innovative technology that I've never seen in a mascara wand before. However I don't see much of a difference in application from when it's straight vs bent. I do like the style of bristles, in that they scoop each lash, but I didn't see any increase of volume to my lashline. I saw noticeable length but not much of a curl.
Good for those who want length to their lashes, but this isn't for me.
Also this is VERY heavily scented, so be wary if you're sensitive to fragrance!

I swore by Benefit's Gimme Brow for years until I was persuaded by all the positive reviews I read about Boy Brow. All I can say is WOW, where has this been all my life?!
I have the brown shade, and it's the perfect amount of pigment. It's a great neutral shade, not too warm like other brow products out there. The tiny spoolie does a great job of grabbing every hair and combing them into place.
Best of all? My curly, wild AF brows stay in place ALL DAY LONG. I can't go a day without this stuff. Everyone needs this in their makeup bag!
