Some pans that I feel like took forever. Some are mine, a few are from my mother.
First up, Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Paradise Garder 30ml. My mother used this and she liked it, it was a nice spring/summer scent. Not something she would repurchase though. Then we have Lolita Lempicka Sweet 30ml, which I used up. It was an okay scent, very light and fitting for summer but nothing special.
Some lip products we panned, first up two of the Essence Juicy Bomb lip glosses (05 mellow marshmallow and 06 tangy tangerine). These came in a Christmas set of five glosses and are basically the products that have confirmed my realization that I absolutely hate lip gloss. I wish I hadn't bought the pack of five, because I think I'll be buried with them at this point. The glosses themselves are okay, a bit sticky and they tended to dry my lips out. Nice flavours though and a very affordable choice for budget-friendly gloss lovers. Would not repurchase.
Then my mom panned a Loreal lipstick in the shade 297 Red Passion. I originally bought this for myself but could not use it due to the horrific scent in it (smells like play-dough despite it not having gone bad) and she used it up instead. It was okay apparently, but not something she'd miss or repurchase.
And then perhaps the longest lasting lip balm (mask?) I've ever had, the Frudia Blueberry Hydrating Honey Lip Balm. I used this at night as a thick mask and I liked it! It did a good enough job at moisturizing and you only need a tiny bit. Unfortunately it started to make my lips peel a bit, so I won't repurchase.
