This is truly a lovely product; it gently cleanses my skin and has a soft, non-irritating lather. Love how it didn't leave my skin feeling stripped and dry after cleansing. One thing I did find odd - but definitely not off-putting - was that the scent kind of reminded me of shampoo, just not as strong. I enjoyed using this gel both morning and night. Such a wonderful, gentle, and comfortable product for my skin! -

I really enjoyed using 2 or 3 drops of this serum primer as the last step in my skincare routine (after my moisturizer). As I only need a couple drops, this bottle will definitely last me awhile! I just hope the product stays fresh for the number of uses I can get out of it. This gives my skin a soft, dewy glow that doesn't look greasy and adds a nice layer or moisture needed for the cold winter months. There is one thing that perplexed me; could I use this as a skincare type essence or is this more of a makeup primer? I like to use essences overnight as part of my skincare routine, but for makeup primers, I always make sure to double cleanse at the end of the day. I would love to know if this doubles as an overnight treatment too. Overall, I am quite pleased and satisfied with this product. -

This primer is a pleasant smelling and hydrating formula that spreads nicely and absorbs quickly into my skin. It is neither sticky or slippery, rather it preps my skin for foundation/bb cream by giving a nice touch of hydration. I noticed that it initially helped my skin grip the foundation as I was applying it. Unfortunately, I found that despite its hydrating properties, it didn't do anything for my texture or pores. I also didn't notice any difference on the longevity of my foundation. On the brighter side, the packaging is sleek and elegant as well the colors used are gorgeous. The shape of the squeeze tube opening allows for easy control of how much product you want. There wasn't anything horrible about the product, I think it just didn't personally work for my skin. -

I used this sunscreen on both my face and my body, and I prefer to use this on my body. On my face, it took a long time to sink in and I constantly felt like a had a slightly silty/greasy feeling. I don't feel like it was particularly hydrating than any other sunscreen, but then I rely on skincare for hydration and wouldn't expect that from a sunscreen. It layered ok under makeup but was not the most comfortable sunscreen to wear on the face. Despite so, it worked perfectly as a body sunscreen, and I will continue to enjoy it as that! I did not have the issues with using it as a body sunscreen like I did when I used it as a facial sunscreen. I am a bit confused why this is called a water gel sunscreen....it it neither watery or gel like in consistency - it just has a blueish tinge. -

The first thing that stood out to me about this product was its lovely gel texture. It was soothing, spread over the skin easily, absorbed, and hydrated really well. There is also a pleasant, not overly obtrusive smell. I have really dry skin during winter, so I found that I needed to layer a more emollient cream over this, but I still enjoyed this product very much. I think this would work very well as a summer moisturizer, when my skin tends to be more combination. It works wonderfully under sunscreen and makeup. However, $19.97 does seem on the pricey side for a drugstore product. -

These cleansing wipes came in a resealable pack of seven, making it easily portable. The wipes had a noticeable but not unpleasant scent and were drenched in just the perfect amount of liquid. Despite the fact that the wipes were soft, I found that the action of using it to swipe the makeup off my face was not the most gentle. As someone who practices double cleansing, these wipes worked well as my first cleanser(to remove sunscreen and makeup). However, I wouldn't just use these wipes by itself without rinsing because it did leave a soapy film. Perhaps not an "all-in-one" but definitely a good quality makeup wipe. -

The first thing I noticed about this lip balm was that it smelled amazing! It goes on very smooth and does not feel heavy or waxy at all. It left a comfortable layer of moisture that absorbed very quickly instead of sitting on top of my lips. The best thing about this product was that it worked amazingly as a lip primer to create a smooth base for my lipstick, I love how beautiful the product looked (much like a crystal, true to its name) and how cute the portable the packaging was. The only thing that I didn't like about the product was that there was a bit of oily residue on the inner edges of the lid. I did find myself needing to re-apply throughout the day. -

Vaseline is great for chapped hands, feet, lips, and for removing lip makeup. I even use this as a wound ointment or hair wax when I'm in a pinch. I especially love that this contains no fragrances. My family has always had a tub of Vaseline sitting around the house. It is a very handy, gender-neutral, and multi-purpose product. -
Q-tips Cotton Swabs
These swaps are practical, convenient, and serve their purpose well. I use them to remove eye makeup, lip makeup, clean small objects, to dab ointment on wounds, and to clean the outer-areas of my ears. Small and simple, yet sturdy and useful.

True to its name, this cream was really rich and moisturizing. I would probably be more likely reach for this in the dry winter months compared to summer. Using it now (in the summer) it almost feels too rich for my skin. The first time I used this cream, I made the mistake of rubbing it vigorously and the cream "pilled" off. After a few uses, I learned that the trick was to gently pat it in. Frankly, I personally did not like the smell of this cream. -
