I crossed off five products from my 26 in 2026 project pan these past two months, so I've completed 6/26 of the project so far.
Product list and reviews ⬇️
WRP = Would repurchase
MRP = Might repurchase
WNRP = Would not repurchase
Cien ☆ Conditioning Spray Repair & Protect: I didn't like it. The mister wasn't concentrated enough, and while it covered a good portion of hair, a lot of the product would still end on my clothes or floor. While using it, I noticed that my bathroom floor looked like it was glistening with oil after I'd sprayed it. I haven't had this issue with any other conditioning spray. Otherwise, it helped me detangle my hair, but it wasn't as effective as other sprays I've tried. WNRP.
A'Pieu ☆ Raspberry Hair Vinegar: This was the first hair vinegar I've tried. It felt refreshing and cleansing, was easy to work into the hair, and had a pleasant fresh raspberry scent. My hair felt silkier after use but didn't look different once it was dry. MRP.
Iunik ☆ Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil: It removed makeup well, didn't clog my pores, and rinsed off easily. It had a slightly nutty natural scent that I liked. The consistency was light and watery. Overall, it was a nice cleanser. WRP.
Dewytree ☆ Hi Amino All Cleansing Milk: It was a good, non-stripping, sensitive skin friendly cleanser. It didn't irritate my skin, clog my pores, or cloud my eyes. It was easy to wash off and didn't leave a residue. I didn't try to remove makeup with it so I can't attest to that, but otherwise it was a good product. WRP.
Skin1004 ☆ Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule: I enjoyed using this. It had a milky gel texture, absorbed easily, didn't clog my pores, and felt soothing and hydrating on the skin. I found it much more effective than their plain centella ampoule. I liked to use it under my tretinoin cream and my skin looked particularly even on the morning after I'd used that combination. It helped me mitigate irritation and dryness from tret. WRP.
Blistex ☆ Medilip Lip Balm: I've had this for a while. It was light, minty, soothing, hydrating, and worked well under lip makeup. It worked particularly well if my lips ever felt irritated, better than most lip balms I've tried. I have other lip balms to finish, but this is one that I'd be willing to return to. WRP.
Mary & May ☆ Idebenone Blackberry Intense Cream: It was a nice, pudding-like moisturiser. It was effective at restoring my skin back to normal if it had gotten too dehydrated. However, I also felt like it didn't always absorb that well and looked a bit greasy on the skin some days. Thankfully, it didn't give me acne. MRP.
Purito ☆ Wonder Releaf Centella Daily Sun Lotion SPF50+: It had an interesting texture. It was less creamy and dense than most sunscreens that I've tried. It didn't irritate my skin or sting my eyes, it had a dewy finish, and worked well under makeup. It was adequate for winter, but for summertime I'll need something more mattifying and with stronger UVA protection. MRP.
Purito ☆ Wonder Releaf Centella Unscented Eye Cream: I enjoyed using it. It was moisturising and helped my skin if it ever felt dry or irritated. It absorbed easily and didn't pill. It's a good, basic eye cream that can work for those who are mainly looking for hydration and soothing. MRP.
Lancôme ☆ La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum: I really enjoy this scent. To me, it smells deep, feminine, and sophisticated. It lasts for a long time too. I might return to it one day, but I have other perfumes to finish. WRP.
Rom&nd ☆ Juicy Lasting Tint in 32 Bare Berry Smoothie: This was the first Rom&nd lip tint I've finished. I absolutely loved the cool pink colour. It looks very light on the wand but the colour deepens noticeably after application. It leaves a sheer stain, but it wasn't as long-lasting as some other lip tints I've tried. The glossy layer wore off quite quickly and I found myself having to reapply often. Otherwise it was a nice product that felt comfortable to wear. MRP.
La Roche-Posay ☆ Cicaplast Hand Cream: It was nice, but not the best hand cream I've tried. It did its job, but not as quickly as other hand creams. It also didn't dry down as quickly as I would have liked. I think that there are cheaper alternatives that work just as well or better. WNRP.
I'm From ☆ Mugwort Mask: I've gone through a few of these minis before. This is a gel mask with small, unnoticeable pieces of mugwort in it. It has a fairly strong herbal smell, but it hasn't irritated my skin. I really enjoyed it; it feels refreshing and soothing on the skin, and I like to wear it while showering to protect my skin from drying out. Last time I reviewed it I said that it wasn't the easiest to wash off, which is true, but that was before I'd tried their honey mask. Compared to that, this is easy to wash off. WRP.
