Makeup + Perfume
1. 😐 Elf mineral concealer powder – didn’t like this as a concealer so used as a setting powder. The container is very cheap as you can see, cracked and breaking in many spots
2. 😐 peach lip oil – The oil itself is pretty decent (actually feels like an oil instead of a gloss), but the packaging is awful. I had to pull the stopper out when it was still half full because the doefoot could not reach any product. I had to use a lip brush to reach the last of the product.
3. ❤️ Burt’s Bees lip balm – I will always be a Burt’s Bees stan haha but I have tons of other lip balms to get through before I buy any more (including some backup Burt’s bees balms 😆)
4. 👍🏼 Revlon Colorstay micro brow pencil in 454 medium brown – the color was great for me and the formula was decent, but I have even smaller tipped brow pencils I like better
5. ❤️ Milani Make It Last original setting spray – I LOVE this stuff!! It kept my makeup looking great all day (not oily and not matte). I have 2 other sprays to get through, but I have this on my list to repurchase once I need more setting spray
Skincare
1. 👎🏼 The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% – I didn’t feel or notice much of a difference with this than with my CeraVe retinol, and the yellow hue was a bit much. It tinted my skin like crazy
2. 👎🏼 Thayer’s witch hazel in lavender (decanted) – I did not like the addition of lavender to this, it made my eyes burn
3. 😐 Mario Badescu facial spray with aloe, chamomile and lavender – I recently found this in the back of my drawer nearly empty. It was ok for a refreshing facial spray, but I really don’t have a need for it in my routine. Would not repurchase
4. ❤️ Naturium BHA liquid exfoliant 2% – love this stuff so much! I used it in a skin cycling routine and notice my pore size is drastically reduced after using. I have another liquid exfoliant to use up next but will definitely repurchase!
5. 👍🏼 Hawthorne brightening under eye corrector – I bought this with a Nordstrom gift card. Really enjoyed the consistency of this! But the small amount of product gives me pause about repurchasing
6. 👎🏼 Awaken spearmint & bergamot energizing face mist – the smell was alright, but it was heavy citrus and I’m not always in the mood for that. The thing I hated most was trying to use any other serum after spraying this on turned my face into a sudsy mess. It seriously felt like I was spraying soap on my face
7. 👎🏼 Dermasil oil free night cream – the texture was too thin and didn’t leave my face feeling very moisturized. Ended up panning the rest on my body
