Posh Candle Co (Fuckboy Repellant)
Like it. Didn’t know how vanilla and citronella would smell together but it smells great. I also think citronella is suppose to be good for keeping mosquitos away, so burning this in the summer would be good. Would RP

Peach and Lily Glass skin refining serum. 1.35 oz for $39. I love this. It is very hydrating and creates a nice glow. It is expensive and I always buy it on sale. 5/5 will repurchase.
I LOVE this. It has really helped shrink my pores and refined my skin texture. You really notice the results with this one.

Fresh Deep Hydrating facial Toner. 3 oz for $25. I love the smell and amount of hydration this gives but I hate how as you near the end of the bottle, bits of roses actually start coming out and clog the hole at the top. This makes it harder to get the actual product out and I am removing a point because of that and the price. 4/5. I already have the 8 ounce bottle in the stash.

Cover FX luminous tinted moisturizer 5ml sample but the full size product is $39 for 30 ml.
I received a free sample of this when I made an order with them a while ago. I use the shade medium because that's what the sample was. This product is so sheer and it being winter, it worked just fine for me. It blends into my skin seamlessly and softly blurs my pores. It leaves a very nice finish but I set it with powder anyways. It adds pretty much no coverage just a light blur. I have another sample that I will use up but I will not purchase the full size because there are other tinted moisturizers that cost less and provide actual coverage. 3/5.

The Butter Bean Shop Fruity Loops Body Butter

I can’t find the exact one anymore but it’ll probably be back on the site eventually.

Smells just as described, like straight fruit loops. The body butter itself is very thick. It has the consistency where when you rub it in your hands it kinda melts into an oil. Very moisturizing. Not sure I’d get this scent again as I want something more sophisticated, but I do love her formulas. This was also just a fun scent. Great for fall/winter. I also have a few more of her body butters already in my arsenal

K L’Rose Candle Company Rose Wax Melt (Egypt)
I can’t find the Rose shaped melts on her site anymore, so here are the regular melts.

I’ve already raved about this company. I love them. The Egypt wax melt smells very fruity, just as the notes describe. It’s not overbearing though. There’s no other notes in their to make the scent more complex. Whenever I melt this it just smells likes summer. I enjoyed it

Soap and Glory The righteous butter. $15 for 300 ml. I love Soap and Glory body products so much. This butter is moisturizing and smells so good. I will always have S&G products in my stash. 5/5 will repurchase.

Flower and Folk Candle in Blueberries & Whipped Cream and Cotton Candy Cloud
I found out about this BOB during BF and grabbed a few. Honestly I feel like they’ve been hit and miss so far. Blueberries and Whipped Cream was a sickly sweet scent. I like sweet scents but not this sweet. Cotton Candy Cloud didn’t smell like much when I first burned it, but every time after it had a light scent. Not as much as I was expecting but it’s there. I’ll probably try out a few more from her since she is a smaller business and the owner seems sweet, but it’s just something I’ve noticed.

Glossier boy brow $16. I really like this because of how easy it is to use. I already have great brows and this makes them look better. 5/5 I would repurchase but I have found a Black owned one that I like just as much.

Urban Decay All nighter setting spray. This is the most popular setting spray and that's because it's damn good. During the pandemic I have been spraying this between layers of product in order to help reduce transfer of makeup onto my face mask. 5/5 I already have another.

Holy Grail 5/5. I've repurchased this so many times over the last few years. But I've decided to try the Cerave SA Cream just to try something new and because it contains other ingredients like ceramides and niacinamide.

5/5. I have two on the way from the sephora sale. I've tried many cleansing balms but always come back to this. Only one I like as much is the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm but it costs more than twice what this costs.

This surprised me since my Cerave works just fine and I wasn't looking for a new cleanser but tried this and love it. Including the fragrance. 5/5. Would repurchase.

First Aid Beauty Facial Cleanser

Love love this cleanser. It’s just a good, basic, gentle cleanser that does the job. I also like that it lathers, which is why I prefer it to something like Cera Ve. Would buy again

Used up another mini Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip Cleanser

Also used up a mini Forevr Mood Naughty Nice Candle and a mini Fine Pine. That also means I’ve officially used up all my candles and only have wax melts left

I spent $110 for 3.0ml (4 months supply), but smaller option 1.5ml (8 weeks supply).
Lightweight non-sticky, almost watery
Claims to improve the appearance of eyebrows & have bolder fuller-looking brows
5/5 DEFINITELY repurchasing
I didn't think it worked, but my eyebrow threader lady couldn't get over how much my brows have grown! I have naturally sparse fine eyebrow hairs

essenHERB tea tree cream. I believe I got this when I was subscribed to that Asian Beauty box. 50ml for $30. It is very light weight and smells like tea tree oil. I used it as my morning moisturizer and I don't think it did much for my skin. 1/5 will not repurchase.

1619525991117.png


First Aid Beauty ultra repair cream. I used up the jumbo size. I love this cream. It is a staple for my dry skin. I have gone through so many of them. I use it from head to toe without a problem. 5/5 will alway repurchase. I try to always get the jumbo size when there are sales.

Facetory me myself and eye refreshing eye cream. $16 for a 30 ml squeeze tube. I got this when I was subscribed to their seasonal boxes. It is okay. It's moisturizing but not if you have extremely dry skin around your eyes. I know eye creams are not needed but I enjoy them. 3/5 Will not repurchase.

Banila Co Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm
1619545447762.jpeg

I’m not picky when it comes to cleansing balms. Just take off my makeup and don’t sting my eyes and we’re good. This did both. I would RP, but since I’m not picky I’m probably just gonna stick to cheaper items. I do like how it came with a scoop so I didn’t have to dip my hands it too

Sunday Riley Good Genes
1619545510445.jpeg

I’m not a fan of Sunday Riley as a brand but I can’t deny this product is amazing. I didn’t purchase from them for years then suddenly picked this up on a whim, and it wasn’t until after that I remembered why I stopped using them. Either way, this paired with a retinol is chefs kiss for my skin. A literal match made in heaven. My skin stays clear and my PIH stays faded. I also cut back on my chemical peels since putting this back in my routine. I just don’t need it as often as I use to. I’m looking for other brands to try but I’m (generally) somewhat picky with my skin care. Also, this was worlds better for me than the 10% Lactic Acid from The Ordinary. That one didn’t give me any results but did cause my breakouts. This didn’t do that. 10/10 product

Kiko power pro nail lacquer in 85 dark chestnut. It was a great nude for my skintone ( similar to dulce de leche from opi or icognito from dior). It was opaque in just one coat and the consistency was creamy. This line and the OPI are my favorite nail polish. 5/5.

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Kiss lip butter. I love how thick and emollient this is. It really stays on and doesn't get rubbed away by my mask. It smells just like the lotion. 5/5 Already repurchased.

I can't believe I actually finished something but I did like this but I doubt I'll buy it again. If you want something that's easily accessible and works it's a good option.

Finished another Kyncare Body Butter. Will not RP. It’s also the last lotion I have from this brand

Finished the Flamingo scented body wash from The Butter Bean Shop. I like the brand but I’ve already said I wouldn’t RP her Bath and Shower Whips unless I just really like the scent

I think it might be. I used the OPI Base coat.
Do you use base + top coats?
Yes i use the kiko base coat and the gel top coat. The gel is super thick so it looks super shiny everytime ppl think I have a gel mani.

My favorite beauty products so far
Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel
s1012855-main-zoom.jpg

Between this and the Glossier one I prefer this one! The brush is bigger, and I find it easy to use. In 2 swoops your brows are ready! 5/5


Origins Retexturizing Masks
s2175396-main-zoom.jpg
My favourite facial mask! It gives me a little glow and my skin always feel smoother I have a combination/dry skin. 5/5

Glossier Cloud Paint in Storm
1620418969064.jpeg

It goes well with my skin tone. I think it’s easy to build up and it’s easy to use. I apply it with finger, maybe for some people it’s unhygienic :laugh2 4.5/5

OPI Natural Base Coat
1620419183540.jpeg

My nail polish lasts way longer with this base coat! Up to 1 week! 5/5

Purad’or Sweet Almond Oil
1620419509289.jpeg

My favorite body oil! My skin was glowing! It’s not heavy and it’s absorbed very quickly! I apply it after my shower when my skin is wet. 5/5

I use it in my nighttime skin care routine. I always wake up with a glowy and hydrated skin.

Dolce and Gabbana Dolce 10 ml travel spray. This is one of my favorite perfumes of all time. I finished the full size bottle a while ago and now I am laying my travel spray to rest. I currently have a flanker of it called Dolce Shine but I will end up repurchasing this for sure. 5/5

Dolce by Dolce&Gabbana is a Floral fragrance for women. Dolce was launched in 2014. Top notes are Neroli and Papaya flower; middle notes are Water Lily, Narcissus and Amaryllis; base notes are Musk and Cashmeran.


1620820429913.png


Atelier Cologne Mandarine Glaciale travel size. I don't like these. They don't last at all. The scents do not amaze me. I know this House has a big following and some of the scents are okay but the lasting power and the price do not add up. I still have more travel sprays to go through and one full size bottle from them but I will never actually purchase from them again. 2/5


Mandarine Glaciale by Atelier Cologne is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance for women and men. Mandarine Glaciale was launched in 2015. The nose behind this fragrance is Jerome Epinette. Top notes are Mandarin Orange, Lemon and Bergamot; middle notes are Ginger, Petitgrain and Jasmine; base notes are Vetiver, Oakmoss and White Amber.

Been using it for over 10 years - Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream. I only use it on my body, not hair.
It's great for feet and hands.

A deluxe size of Dior Backstage Primer
1621124511172.jpeg

Got it for free forever ago. Wouldn’t purchase a full size. I feel like my makeup only looked okay with this on. I also dont find it did much. Has a lot of fragrance and smells luxe. Don’t know how else to describe it, just smells like how luxe brands like Dior or Chanel normally smell. Very fragrant. If you have sensitive skin I could see this burning you because of that. On my skin it almost made it feel warm, but I don’t have sensitive skin. Just meh, glad to get rid of it. Also mine was a light pink while all the pics I’m finding are Whit edit some reason. Not sure if they reformulated

Neogen Cica Micellar cleansing oil. $28 10 oz / 300 ml with pump

This was alright. It cleansed off my face makeup but had a hard time getting off my mascara and eyeliner and because of that I will not be repurchasing. It's a very gentle oil cleanser and great for sensitive and problematic skin. 3/5 will not repurchase.

Stratia Liquid Gold
1621480157373.jpeg
This stuff was great for my skin. A good combo of hydrating and moisturizing. Goes on easy on the skin and absorbs well. Isn’t heavy, so if you have extra dry skin I’d use a heavy moisturizer over top. I’ll RP when I run out of my current moisturizer

Hanskin Hyaluron Essence
1621480225521.jpeg

Got a free mini size of this from an Ulta purchase. A nice, solid essence. Nothing about it is too standout. Just solid. I’d probably RP since I like things that hydrate my dehydrated skin, but I’m not married to it.

Bought this product last year and it’s amazing, I just ran out last night and I had the product for a year. I have had dry patches on my face and this product cleared them up very quickly. It really makes my face feel very supple and moisturized. If you have redness or your skin feels inflamed this product is amazing for that. 5/5 and I already repurchased

Pienki Bleu Whipped Soap Smoothie
(Honey Apple Spiced Cider)

I love whipped body washes and purchased this because that’s what I thought it’s be. It’s essentially a body scrub. Not a bad thing, but they already have a body scrub on their site so I feel having this is redundant. Either way I do like this. The scent is a perfect fall time scent, and it lathers and exfoliates well. I have a few more left in different scents and I’d probably buy it again but idk. Since I have one of those Japanese exfoliating sponges having a body scrub isn’t really necessary for me.
