What I learned: I do not like Estée Lauder or Drunk elephant. I do like sol de jainero and most of fresh. I like Benefit makeup, but the skincare did not spark joy. I hope you like my post!
Product list and opinions:
Full size
benefit Porefessional foaming Toner – did NOT spark joy. Thank god I’m done with this. I prefer fresh Rose toner or Lancôme Confort toner
Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv Hand creme – Smelled SO GROSS. used it on my legs.
Sol de Jainero Brazilian Kiss – This grew on me. At first it was like weird oatmeal cookie flavored lip balm but damn if I didn’t end up craving the oatmeal cookie. Repurchased x3
Lancôme advanced genefique yeux – very thick and refreshing. Only need a teensy bit to moisturize. Very overpriced, waiting for a sale to repurchase.
