: I absolutely love this scent - it's a beautiful fruity floral that feels light and summery. It just smells so good!!!
21.
dermalogica multivitamin power recovery masque: This mask feels intensely hydrating - and heavy - on the skin. I think it would work great if you were to use it directly after a peel or microdermabrasion or any intense skin treatment. Otherwise, it feels like too much and my skin was left red and irritated after I removed it. This feels like it leaves some residue behind and I wasn't a fan of that.
22.
Lune + Aster Under Eye Brightener in Original: This is a fantastic sheer, good on its own but good under concealer, eye brightener. It does a wonderful job of disguising shadows, darkness, and general lack-of-sleep on the under-eye area while subtly color correcting. It's also quite moisturizing and has a creamy, easy-to-blend texture.
23.
LUSH Dream Cream Body Lotion x2: This is a really nice, hydrating body lotion that hydrates deeply without feeling heavy. Even the soles of my feet feel fairly soft when I use this regularly. My only issue with it, really, is its unscented scent, which I'm sure folks with sensitive skin like but I just wish this had a scent of some sort. What's really odd is that this contains fragrance and its second ingredient by weight is rose water but it doesn't smell like anything. :/ I wish it smelled like roses, y'all you know I'd be so happy with it.
24.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios 60 Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid: They're not kidding with the name - this stuff is extremely lightweight and fluid/liquid-y. I used it as a moisturizer with my
Odacite serum oils mixed in and I find that worked really well as this is rather matte on its own.
25.
Everyday Minerals Jojoba Base in Rosy Ivory 1C: Ironically, compared to the last time I had samples of these, I prefer this shade over the
OC, I find that it matches my skin perfectly and added extra coverage on top of my liquid foundation.
26.
Dr. Barbara Sturm Face Mask: This is by far the most hydrating clay mask I've ever used - it's a good balance because it feels like a hydrating mask but contains kaolin to absorb excess oil. I like that it rinses off clean but leaves my skin feeling hydrated.
27.
Bath & Body Works Heirloom Apple Scented Candle: Put simply this is a true apple-scented candle - really crisp and clean.
28.
dermalogica antioxidant hydramist: I used this stuff as a setting spray after I finished my makeup - I know it's not meant to keep makeup in place and is actually meant to be a toner but I tend to like sprays like this that hydrate after I do my makeup just to restore hydration to the skin. I found this worked decently in the hydration department but has an odd unscented type scent that I'm not into.
29.
Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip in Jellies: So I was wearing this a few days back and when I went to reapply I pulled out what I thought was the wand wiper - except it wasn't, it was some kind of silicone rubbery squishy thing and the wand wiper was still in the packaging. I'm genuinely unsure if it was part of the wand wiper or something else entirely but to err on the side of caution I'll be tossing this.
30.
Odacite Aventurine Kiss Lip Serum: Overall I didn't love this - it hydrates alright and didn't dispense all that well until I removed the aventurine crystal. Once I did, this stuff went fast although that's not surprising given that I essentially removed its stopper.
31.
fresh Vitamin Nectar Vitamin C Glow Powder: This is a great smelling exfoliating treatment. Though they call it a foaming facial... mine hardly foamed up at all. I think it's nice and it left my skin feeling very soft and smooth afterwards but honestly I feel like it's just a pricey facial exfoliant - it doesn't stay on long enough to do anything other than remove dead skin.
32.
Everyday Minerals Cheek Luminous Blush in Lavender Fields: This is a really gorgeous purple-y blush. In fact out of the more purple-toned blushes this is by far my favorite, it has a really beautiful pearlescent finish. I feel like if I didn't have so many blushes I might go ahead and pick this up in a full size.
33.
Trader Joe's Tea Tree Oil: I'll be honest with y'all - once upon a time I really liked the way tea tree oil smelled but something happened and now I don't love it at all. That said this stuff is really multipurpose so I continue to purchase it. I use this to mix in with the solution I use to clean my air conditioner to prevent mold, as a treatment for athlete's foot, and as a disinfectant/anti-fungal for my oil diffuser.
34.
Everyday Minerals Pearl Finishing Dust: I was quite impressed with this item as I expected this to be very shimmery and it just gave my face a beautiful, subtle glow that looked like healthy skin.
35.
red cherry Eyelashes in Ryder: These are a beautiful full, thick style that's not too long. I liked them because they gave me a lot of volume and drama.
36.
LUSH Rose Jam Shower Gel: I am so sad to have used this up - it smells absolutely delicious - like sweet roses; it leaves me feeling clean and fresh without stripping my skin. I love it so much!
37.
Virtue Recovery Conditioner: Another product I am genuinely sad to have used up because I loved it so much. This did a beautiful job of deeply hydrating my hair - making it look and feel very smooth, soft, and shiny but without weighing it down at all!
38.
NARS Audacious Lipstick in Anna: This is a beautiful plummy nude - I'm sad to be done with it as it's a great color for any time. Genuinely a "my lips but better" shade that goes perfectly with any look.
39.
LUSH Buck's Fizz Body Conditioner: I used this as body lotion and it's really nice and softening. I find that it smells like orange starbursts which is a pleasant scent but I probably won't get this again as it just isn't my favorite scent that they offer and I don't like it enough to buy it again.
40.
Fresh Sugar Mint Rush Freshening Lip Treatment: I found this to be rather middle-of-the-road; it was neither too hydrating nor too minty. I think if it was a drugstore item I might get it again but give its price point, it's too pricey for what it is.
41.
Odacite Ma + N Marula-Neroli Elasticity Serum Concentrate: This worked alright and did a nice job of lightly hydrating my skin but I don't love its earthy scent and I can't really speak to if it helps with elasticity as my skin is still fairly elastic.
42.
Colourpop Brow Pencil in Dope Taupe: I find that the taupe they use in these leans a bit warm but it's a nice, safe, natural shade on a lot of folks - myself included. I really like these pencils as they give great precision, good color payoff, are easy to work with, and stay put nicely throughout the day.
43.
Odacite Ca + C Camelina-Chamomile Sensitive Skin Serum Concentrate: I read that this is supposed to be really great for redness along with calming and soothing the skin so when we got samples of it in-store I was SUPER EXCITED to give it a go. Unfortunately I didn't really see a difference in the redness levels of my skin when I was using this.
44.
LUSH Chocolate Lip Scrub : A delicious cocoa-scented sugar scrub. I like sugar scrubs because they're edible and super scrubby but I could probably make something like this at home.
45.
Osea Red Algae Mask: This was a nice mud mask - I liked that despite being mud-based it wasn't drying but left my skin feeling cleansed and refreshed.
46.
Everyday Minerals Pink Primer: This is probably meant to be used more as the first step in an all-mineral makeup, makeup routine versus being used to set liquid foundation - which is what I attempted to use it for. I'm thinking oh it might brighten my skin because it's pink but really it kind of knocked off most of my concealer and emphasized where I was red... Not severely, but enough to make me not want to get this again.
47.
Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub in Hawaiian Kukui: As you folks know. these body scrubs are my favorite because they're sugar based and super scrubby. This one has a nice, sweet, tropical scent.
48.
Bath & Body Works Love Scented Candle: The only candle I really like in the aromatherapy line - this is a beautiful fresh rose and soft, sweet vanilla scent that's at once a bit herby but soft and romantic all at the same time. I really like it and would get it again.
49.
Bath & Body Works Pumpkin Pecan Waffles Scented Candle: A warm, sweet, comforting scent that's great for the cooler months or rainy days. While it's not my favorite scent and one I probably wouldn't pick up on my own it reminds me of my best friend who adores this and I think of him fondly when I burn it.
50.
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder: I like this powder and I feel that its slight yellow tint helps to brighten my under-eye area and reduce redness on the face. That said I find that unless I pack this on to the point my under-eyes look dry that it doesn't set my concealer in place. :/
