These are marketed as a note-taking or bullet journaling tool for adding lots of nice colour. They absolutely deliver on that front. The colour is pigmented and bold and flows smoothly from both ends. The highlighter ends are standard colours, so it's nothing extraordinary there. I love the pen colours. The tip is like a felt tip marker pen and the colours are gorgeous. I find that different coloured pens are sometimes too bright but I found these ones to be very useable as they show up well without being too in-your-face. I don't remember the size of the nib (possibly 0.5?) but I like that it is not too thick, so you can write in small or big fonts. -

I tried this in a small sample size so I don't know the long-term effects. For me, this applied very easily and the small sample lasted me over a week. I think it helped to prevent new acne and sped up the process of healing existing acne that was forming. It has a somewhat unpleasant scent but I think that's just the smell of propolis. It doesn't bother once it's on and I don't notice the smell for very long. -

I'm always impressed by Elf lip products and this one is no different. These glide on comfortably with a shiny finish and the colour payoff is great. It's buildable so you can add more intense colour if you want. All the shades in this line are quite pigmented if you have light or medium tone. If your lips are darker, the tint will be more natural-looking. There are only a few neutral colours, and the rest are quite vibrant. The scent for these is like poprocks or a candied watermelon smell. These aren't longlasting, so there will be transfer when you eat or drink, and you'll need to reapply for the colour. -

I think this might be great for someone with a dry skin type or if they are looking for extra help with the skin barrier. For me, it felt far too heavy and occlusive for my skin which tends to get congested easily. Yes, it provides good moisture but I didn't notice any benefits beyond just the hours after I applied it. What I mostly didn't love about it was that it continued to feel heavy throughout the day, to the point that it was uncomfortable because my skin would get greasy with it on. -

I didn't really like the taste, but I think I'm just not used to meal replacement. It was probably unrealistic for me to expect this to be like chocolate milk, and completely forget that it's nutrient-rich. I would probably try this again if I... +
I didn't really like the taste, but I think I'm just not used to meal replacement. It was probably unrealistic for me to expect this to be like chocolate milk, and completely forget that it's nutrient-rich. I would probably try this again if I needed an extra protein boost or something. -
GUM BUTLERWEAVE MINT WAXED DENTAL FLOSS
This is possibly the worst floss I have ever used. It doesn't slide between teeth easily. Instead, it tightens around the fingers, cuts off circulation while you try to wiggle it between teeth. It's not supposed to tear, but it does still fray... +
This is possibly the worst floss I have ever used. It doesn't slide between teeth easily. Instead, it tightens around the fingers, cuts off circulation while you try to wiggle it between teeth. It's not supposed to tear, but it does still fray and I've even had it RIP right off into separate pieces. I'm never using this one again. -

I don't know how to properly describe notes but I can share that this has a pleasant scent that I don't get sick of. I'm not sure if this is the correct way to describe it, but I find there are aquatic and fruity aspects to the floral, which make a nice but basic combination. It doesn't last very long on the skin, but I don't mind giving it a refresh so I can inhale the scent again. At the cost, I probably wouldn't be keeping this as a staple scent in my collection but there's no denying that the bottle looks so cute on a vanity. -

I've seen so many rave reviews about these mascaras and how the quality surpasses the price point. Unfortunately, I suspect it might only work well with other types of lashes (mine are short and not very voluminous on their own). Maybe with naturally long and curled lashes, this might work well. Anyway, for me, it mostly just darkens the lashes and lengthens a little bit but my main issue with it is that it smudges like crazy. None of my other mascaras (from other drugstore brands) ever smudge on me but this one from Essence ALWAYS leaves black smudges under my eye about 2-3 hours after application. I won't be repurchasing any lash princess mascaras. -
Kirkland Signature Ultra Soft Baby Wipes
These are nice and thick. I like that they don't have an overpowering scent. You can smell something but it doesn't linger too much. I think these are a decent size but I just wish they were flushable.

I tried this from the product review club and was not disappointed. I wasn't wearing too much makeup, so I didn't see much on the wipe, but I think it did a good job of removing everything gently. I do find that the longer time it's been, there's generally less visible makeup on wipes anyway, possibly because my makeup has wiped away during the day. I liked the texture of this wipe as it feels more luxurious than some of the cheap ones you can get where it the cloth feels thin and gets fibrous when you use it. Since I tend to use wipes when I'm out, I would like if this one came in that thinner packaging that Neutrogena also has in the blue packaging. There's fewer wipes in those ones but I like that it's easy to bring with me anywhere. One way that the skin balancing micellar ones are better is that they don't sting my eyes. That's my biggest qualm with the ones in the blue package. They work great but they hurt my eyes. Today, I wasn't wearing any eye makeup so maybe I didn't spend as much time near my eyes but I do like that there wasn't any stinging. -
