YSL Lashclash Mascara
I’m obsessed with this mascara! I got to test it for free, and now it’s my go-to mascara. I have super straight lashes and this one holds the curl and gives me gorgeously defined lashes

CLEAN RESERVE H2EAU Golden Citrus

I actually really loved this product. I found the scent lasted a very long time, and it smelled so good. It really was hydrating at the same time. My only problem was that it lasted so long, that it started to make me sneeze! Maybe a bit too strong for me. I loved the packaging too, it's so pretty!

The instructions say that you should see results after 7 days, however my sample I received was only for 5 days so I don't think I was able to truly test it. After the first day, it actually worked like a pimple patch an drew out some of the gunk beneath the area. However, that area is now red, almost seems burned after a week without using the product. I think I would've had better results if I had more to test.

Grown Alchemist Skin Defense Primer
I initially liked the primer because the product applied nicely and smoothly on skin. It reminds me of the Smashbox primer. Almost silicon-like. It had a tiny bit of a blurring effect so I had high hopes for it. I tested this primer over 6 days... +
I initially liked the primer because the product applied nicely and smoothly on skin. It reminds me of the Smashbox primer. Almost silicon-like. It had a tiny bit of a blurring effect so I had high hopes
for it.
I tested this primer over 6 days with 3 different foundations. My foundation kept cracking and splitting the longer the day went. It highlighted my wrinkles and my pores as the day went on. It wasn’t great with my stick foundation, my light coverage liquid foundation, or my full coverage liquid foundation. I could not make the primer work for me. With ny combo skin, my oily zones would glisten at the end of the day, and my dry areas were patchy.
I think if you don’t have as many problem areas to cover like I do, this primer might work for you. I also found out that it costs $53 (I swear it was $51 last night), and there are better primers out there for cheaper.

Not only do I find this pan to be lighter than my other one (same size), but it's a lot prettier too. I found that this product was pretty amazingly non-stick. I was reading that I should still add a bit of oil, or butter to prevent the non stick coating from coming off for non stick pans - so I did try making pancakes with both methods. They honestly turned out amazing. I find that my other frying pan has a tendency to get sUPER hot, and my pancakes always end up burning. After I turned the heat down to low, this pan remained a nice even heat which I absolutely adore. I just wish I got a bigger pan - this one makes one perfectly round 1/4 cup pancake at a time. If you do 2, they end up as ovals. -
Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Anti-Aging Serum
I actually really enjoyed this serum. However, after about 2 weeks I started getting a burn along my face. I had to stop using the product for my face to heal. It did help to resurface my skin, but I'm still a bit itchy to this day on my lower jaw... +
I actually really enjoyed this serum. However, after about 2 weeks I started getting a burn along my face. I had to stop using the product for my face to heal. It did help to resurface my skin, but I'm still a bit itchy to this day on my lower jaw. I'm not sure if I'd go back to this, but If I do, I'll only use it 2-3 times a week. -
Benzagel After Care Moisturizing Lotion

This moisturizer is pretty amazing. I find some are way too heavy, like a night cream - but this one is great for the day. I use it as my day moisturizer after using the cleanser. It dries fairly quickly, and I'm able to wear sunscreen on top of it and my primer + foundation without any issues. -
Benzagel Acne Gel 5%
I tried this and the cleanser and I found this to be just equally gentle. I'm surprised it didn't leave any burn marks and I'm glad to have it. It helped me with two little pimples that were close together around my lips. Really love this product

I was actually really worried about trying this product. I have pretty sensitive skin and I was worried about burning myself with it. I only use it in the morning, and make sure that I always wear sunscreen daily. I was surprised at how good my skin looked even after the first 3 days. It's starting to help purify my skin. A lot of little white heads started to purge out of my skin, but in an easy to remove way. It didn't irritate my skin like vitamin c might - resurfacing and exposing pimples making them painful. This really helped to balance out some of my extra oils (I have combo skin) but it didn't dry out the rest of my face either. I'm really enjoying it. My face feels so much cleaner and fresh. -
PADERNO Maple Hardwood Roast Cutting Board, Grip Handles, 12-in x 18-in

I really enjoyed this cutting board! The only thing is, you have to maintain it. I definitely don't have any of the mineral oil treatment I'm supposed to use to keep it in good shape. I kind of wish it just came with a small sample bottle so you can maintain it the moment you bring it home. Since I received this for free to test, I wasn't able to start off with the mineral oil right away. -
