I received this in my January Boxycharm.
I LOVE this company. Generally, whatever they produce I will enjoy. I liked this product. It was easy to use and the instructions were pretty standard. Wash your face, take the mask out of the package and place on your face. I wore the mask for the suggested amount of time and my skin looked nourished. Two things though:
1. I realized that I'm not a fan of the dewy look. I have combo oily skin (closer to oily), and after the mask, my looked the way it always does in the summer...a little oily. It didn't feel oily, it just looked a little oily (I guess dewy) and I don't really like it for me. However, I would definitely use this if I wasn't going anywhere because the ingredients in the serum do all kinds of good things for the skin and is perfect for an at-home facial.
2. There is A LOT of serum in that package. So much so that I had some more left over to put more on before and give the rest to my mom to use. I feel like they definitely could have put a second mask in the package and maybe keep this in mind if you have any reusable fabric masks at home.
3. The price point is a little high ($12 per mask) however that is consistent with the brand. They are a higher priced brand, but personally, I feel like you get your money's worth as they use quality ingredients. For example, in this mask, there is Rice germ oil, green tea and camellia oil.
Final point: This product is consistent with Tatcha's high quality. If you have oily skin, it's good to nourish your skin but you probably won't want to use it right before you go out.

I quite enjoy this palette. The colours are really pigmented but that really works well with my dark skin. Every colour on the face side looks great on me and I find myself reaching for them quite often. The eyeshadows blend well and look really pretty. There are a couple of matte shadows that I love to use. This is my second PUR palette and I am growing to like to this brand.

I was really looking forward to trying this when I saw it in the October Boxycharm. I switched to cleansing balms/oils at the beginning of the year as I find it is gentler on my skin.
This blam makes it super easy to remove your makeup. I generally use about a quarter size amount and massage it into my dry skin. I then massage a little with some water then rinse et voila, clean skin. My skin feels clean but not stripped afterward which is what I was going for.
The only drawback for me is that I find it doesn't take off all my eye make up in one go (particularly mascara). I found that the Clinique Take The Day Off cleansing balm did a better job at this.
Other than that I have no complaints. The nice light scent (lemony fresh) really enhances the experience.

I received this product in my October Boxycharm.
I am currently on a forever quest for matte nudes that look great on my dark skin. I received the shade Hawkwind and this has made the list. This is a lovely pinky brown shade that goes on like a creamy liquid lipstick but dries down to a lovely matte pretty quickly. This is one of the only matte lipsticks that doesn't leave my lips looking parched. It actually feels weightless and it's quite long wearing. I believe that I will be reaching for this product quite often.
This is the first KVD lipstick that I have tried and I would definitely recommend trying this liquid lipstick.

I received this product in my September Boxycharm.
I am currently searching for the perfect matte nude for myself and this is the current front-runner. I received the shade Rosewood and I really like it. It's matte but goes on smoothly like a cream and is also not drying to the lips; it has really good coverage without having to swipe a hundred times; it also is quite long wearing. I checked my lips after lunch and I didn't have to reapply if I didn't want to.
This is my first Lorac product and I am definitely interested in trying out more of their products.

I received this product in my September Boxycharm.
This is my new favourite and I've worn it basically every day since I received my September Boxycharm. I was wary when I saw it because I wasn't sure that it would show up on my dark skin (think Gabrielle Unioin), but it basically looks like a subtly pinky highlighter..great for every day. It's nice and light and really hard to put on too much. It goes on smoothly and blends nicely when I put it on top of another blush. I've also placed it on top of L'Oreal's Blur Blush which is a gel blush and it blends perfectly.
This has made its way into my everyday makeup bag and I highly recommend it for all skin tones. Lighter skin tones would show the pink in the blush more but the gold aspects would show up on darker skin tones.

I will not go to sleep with out this on my face. This product is hydrating without being oily or greasy. It has a night light feel on the skin and literally makes my skin feel like it's taken it's first deep breath of the day.
I purchased a 15ml/0.5oz trial size from Sephora for $13CAD (in a set with the lip sleeping mask) and I have been using it for over a month and there is at least another month left in the jar. A little goes a very long way.

I received this product in my July 2018 Boxycharm.
This had become my new everyday palette. I have been looking for a nice chocolate/nude everyday palette. I have chocolate brown with red undertones (currently deep brown as it's summer) and for every day I like to wear eyeshadow that looks nude and this palette is perfect for me. The shadows went on nicely and blended very well together. The kicker for me though was NO creasing. My eyelids tend to be quite oily and creasing is a given for me but these shadows held up.
This is my first experience with Crown eyeshadows and I am very pleased. I would definitely recommend and will be trying other palettes from them.

I received this product free from ChickAdvisor.
I was really looking forward to receiving this product as I love me some summer drinks. I chose the daiquiri mix as strawberry daiquiris are one of my favorite drinks. I mixed it with some fresh blueberries and rum to make a blue strawberry daiquiri. The mix is a little sweet but just add some more ice and you're good to go. It's even good on it's own with some ice ( and lime on the side).
I found that the mix was very easy to use and the recipes are endless. I served it to some guests with varying tastes and it was a hit across the board. I would definitely buy this product again and try the other flavours.

I was curious to try this product as I have never tried dry shampoo. I natural curly hair and I've always believed that dry shampoo would work for me. I was pleasantly surprised.
First of all this product smells really good. The fragrance wasn't overbearing but it remained all day. My hair tends to be dry but because of this I tend to use a lot of moisturizing products that build up over time. This product helped to keep my hair fresh in between washes without leaving a residue on my hair.
This formula is also tinted and can be used to touch up your roots. My hair is already brown but I chose it because I love chocolate. :)
This is an affordable product that is highly useful. I would definitely recommend it.
