Initially, I was so happy that this was an oil-free makeup remover because I assumed it would feel more like water than anything. However, this feels so oily (I don’t know why). It does clean off makeup very easily… but leaves your face glistening the same way an oil cleanser does. Therefore, it requires you to double cleanse, which isn’t terrible. Just wish it didn’t feel so greasy and slippery. -

I could smell this soap before even opening the box - it smells so fresh and clean!! However, as someone more sensitive to fragrance, I find the heavy scent irritates my lungs/makes me wheezy. If the smell weren’t so strong, I’d definitely consider buying this in the future. -

This was my first time trying a product like this and I’m very impressed! It is a waterproof, rechargeable tool that works as both a cleanser and massager. It comes with a USB charging cradle that recharges the tool. The tool stays charged for quite a while! The tool helps provide a deeper cleanse that loosens, lifts and removes dirt, oil and makeup. It can also act as a massager to improve firmness, skin tone and radiance. There are four settings, two for cleansing and two for massaging.
My initial thought was that I LOVED the look of it. The rose gold colour is stunning and matches my other beauty tools, and I like that the tool itself is made out of silicone. It felt really nice to use - super relaxing! It was fun using a foaming cleanser with this to get it a little sudsy. It helped me get the cleanser to foam and my skin felt clean and smooth afterwards. Massage-wise, this feels absolutely fantastic. Is it necessary? Maybe not. But it’s a nice way to treat yourself and end the day.
My only hesitation is that I had a little trouble getting my cleansing foam out of the bristles. I had to rinse it for quite a while and try to get it out with my fingers - maybe I’m just a noob though haha. I’m sure there’s a more effective way to rinse the tool, but I haven’t found it yet 😅
Overall though, I really enjoyed using this product. Would recommend it to those who want something cute and fun to spice up their skincare routine!

Batiste Light Scent Green Tea & Chamomile Dry Shampoo

This dry shampoo contains 100% natural green tea and chamomile extracts to gently remove excess oil and restore movement. It does not contain Paraben, Sulfate and Dye. It is also vegan friendly, which is always a plus! To use, you should shake it first, spray into roots (30cm away), massage it in and then brush through.
I found it easy to use and really liked that it didn’t leave any residue on my hair. It lived up to its "invisible finish" claim. The scent wasn’t too strong, but it was definitely noticeable. My hair looked refreshed after use - not nearly as oily and stringy as it was prior. This is a great way to use natural products to lengthen the time between washing your hair! The spray can itself contains 200mL of the product, which I think will last me a long time. Would definitely recommend trying this.

The Product:
💖 Light pink nail polish with sparkles (very shimmery, almost metallic)
💖 Dries in a couple of hours
💖 Relatively translucent (I applied two coats)
What I Loved:
💖 The colour is very cute and glam. I’d describe it as almost a rose gold
💖 Because of its translucence, it can be used as a second coat over another solid colour (I didn’t do this, but I saw another Instagrammer put a layer of sold pink underneath, and it looked so good!)
💖 It lasted about 7 days before chipping. Now, 9 days later, only my thumbnail is chipped, and the rest is perfect!
💖 The consistency was perfect and allowed for an easy application. It was smooth with no strings
💖 The shimmer nicely hides any imperfections (dents, mess-ups, etc.)
Areas for Improvement:
💖 I don’t paint my nails often, so not sure if this is the norm…but I found this took FOREVER to fully dry. 💖 Hours later and I was still accidentally denting them. I was going to put a coat of essie topcoat gel setter, but then my nails looked way too bulky so I redid them. I think I’ll be sticking to their quick-set line from now on

I really appreciated the clear instructions that accompanied this product. It gave a step-by-step process for warming the wax, applying, and cleansing. I liked that the packaging itself is very minimal - there’s no unnecessary plastic. I also really like that this comes with cleansing oil! This is a natural wax that doesn’t require any strips. I enjoyed this, although maybe I’m not hairy enough for it haha -

I received a sample-sized moisturizer packet for free in exchange for my honest review.
I liked the very pleasant, fresh scent. Not too strong. The cream itself was pretty watery… It felt like I was putting nice smelling water on my face 😅 It didn’t have the typical cream consistency, it was just slightly more viscous than water.
I didn’t feel like it really moisturized my skin; I found it too light (especially for winter). I think this could work well in the summer though!
Overall, I didn’t mind it, but it wasn’t anything special.

The Dove Cucumber & Green Tea Deodorant Stick Refill Kit contains the stainless steel case, and the cucumber and green tea scent deodorant. The scent is very fresh smelling, not too strong either. It’s in a very portable size, perfect for on-the-go.
The distinguishing factor between these deodorants and others is the environmental impact. These products come in packing made of 98% recycled plastic. The case itself is reusable, and the refills are available for purchase. These are also both aluminium-free and cruelty-free!
The only downside (I’ll admit it’s a huge downside) is the cost. The starter kit itself comes in at a whopping $19.97 at Walmart, and the refill kit (2 sticks) is $11.97. Also to note: each stick is only 32g, whereas the cheaper, regular stick is 74g! This is just not feasible for the average consumer. That said, if you have the extra money to spend, or can find a really good deal on these, definitely go for it!

I am absolutely in love with this cleanser! It was my first time trying Isntree products, and I love this one. It is part of Isntree’s green tea line.
What I loved:
🍵 I loved the scent! It has a very sweet, tea smell - not super strong but you can definitely smell it!
🍵 I love how easy it is to apply - it has a honey-like consistency and quickly turns into a sudsy soap-like consistency when rubbed in.
🍵 It’s great for sensitive skin! I have combination skin on the drier side and this didn’t strip my skin. My skin definitely felt clean and smooth afterwards.
🍵 There’s a lot of product in this one bottle, so I would say it is great value for your money!
What could be improved:
Literally nothing. This is a great product from the green tea line!
Overall, I would rate this a 9/10 😊
