When I found out, I was receiving this I was very excited because of the way it looked in pictures however, after taking it out of the box, it’s very lightweight and longer than I expected. It unfortunately doesn’t go with our aesthetic at all. It feels kind of cheap honestly. There’s very little to it. Also, tiny flecks of the actual white glass are peeling off of it and I literally just took it out of the box. I wouldn’t want to pay someone to come and install this when it has imperfections and doesn’t look as nice as it does on the box. The packaging was really nice, the promo shots are beautiful. I wish I could give this a higher rating because I was really, really excited about it. I feel like if you knocked this thing the wrong way it would shatter and I know that it’s meant to be on the ceiling but even just putting it up I would be nervous because the material feels so delicate.

I absolutely love this moisturizer. It has such a deliciously thick consistency and a subtle but pleasant scent. The packaging is sturdy and visually pleasing. I do think the packaging material gets dirty easily from the moisturizer itself but that isn’t an issue, just an observation. My hands feel smooth and soft post application. Getting the lotion out of the bottle can be a bit difficult, especially when it’s cold. I think I would prefer it in a different container but again, that is just personal preference and doesn’t affect my overall feelings about the product.

The storage container is a good size but I probably wouldn’t store anything super heavy in it. It’s decently made but not as heavy duty as some storage containers I’ve had in the past. My main issue is that the wheels on the bottom are a great idea but once you put anything heavy in it, it doesn’t roll as well as when it’s empty. You’d have to pick it up to move it. The placement of the wheels makes it so that you can’t lean it back and roll it. Because the wheels are on the bottom, they don’t function if one side is lifted. It’s a nice little container, but I think it has some design flaws. I do love the colour and think it looks quite chic.    -

I’ve gotta say, I was pretty impressed with this little hairdryer. It’s very, very lightweight and the compact design is a huge plus for me. I have another hairdryer that is a bit more heavy duty and dries faster but it’s also much heavier and louder. I think for the price point this is a great hair dryer. The only slight downside was that the output of air wasn’t quite as strong as others have been for me. The attachments were also a bit finicky to put on but all in all this is a really great product.

Colour me impressed. I absolutely love this lotion. The smell is delightful but gentle. My skin feels so smooth and hydrated after and I love putting it on after a shower, right before bed. The consistency is thick so you don’t need a lot. The packaging comes off as luxury, the glass jar is so chic and the box is beautiful, especially the interior of it. I am a fan, would absolutely recommend this and will be getting it for myself again!

Thank you to @sephoracanada & @loccitane for gifting this to me to try for free. I really like this body wash, the texture is lovely, it’s creamy but not slick like some whipped shower butters can be. The scent is soft but present, if you’re not big on scented body washes then this is a nice middle ground. I prefer my body washes to have a bit of a stronger scent but I still really like this one. It is a bit pricey but (depending on how many uses) I think it’s worth it. It lathers alright but doesn’t foam up the way some other body washes do and I like a really sudsy body wash. The packaging is simple and doesn’t scream high end but I think that’s okay.

I am an Urban Decay Stan! Thank you so much to urban decay and Butterly for gifting this to me to try for free! I have used other setting sprays by Urban Decay in the past and they work so well.

This blush is super beautiful, the pigment is insane. The packaging has some weight to it and is really pretty. I have it in shade 65. I did find it a bit hard to blend, I didn’t have to use a lot at all and it covered a lot of surface area. I think for someone who wants a lot of pigment this is brilliant. I used a tiny dot and it covered so much. I’m not sure how I would go about using less than what I did to get a softer blush. I do a lot of stage work and this is going to be brilliant for my stage makeup! Thank you Butterly and Armani Beauty for gifting this to me to try!    -

I really enjoy this lipgloss. it’s got an excellent shine to it, feels really moisturizing, and isn’t sticky, which is an issue with a lot of shiny glosses. It’s really nice when you put it over a lipstick or a liner, or you can just wear it on its own like I am in the photo. The packaging is really nice. It’s got some heft to it, which is nice. I would recommend this product for sure!    -
