Every Beauty Makeup Remover Pads with Argan Oil Extract {Travel Size} $1.29

every-beauty-makeup-remover Moistened

every-beauty-makeup-remover-pads After Use

every-beauty-makeup-remover-pads Pros

  • Made of all natural cotton that is infused with Argan Oil Extract & Vitamin E.
  • Water activated so you don’t have to worry about the pads drying out. {My favorite feature!}
  • Super soft, yet effective at removing makeup
  • Alcohol free
  • No rinsing needed
  • Portable

Cons

  • I couldn’t find anywhere else to buy via google search except from their website.  I don’t ever mind ordering online, but you would have to make sure you stayed stocked up because you can’t just go to a store to replenish.

Verdict

I will definitely be purchasing.  I love that you can have a great makeup remover without tons of chemicals & skin beneficial ingredients infused as well.  Add that to the fact that they won’t dry out & this is a genius product! LOVE!

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion {Travel Size} $1.99

aveeno-daily-moisturizing-lotion

aveeno-daily-moisturizing-lotion Pros

  • Unscented
  • A little goes a long way
  • Non-greasy
  • Moisturizing

Cons

  • I might get 2 uses out of the bottle maybe

Verdict

I probably won’t purchase this unless I’m in a pinch because I am beyond addicted to my SheaMoisture Olive & Green Tea Body Butter with Avocado.

NUBAR Nail Lacquer in White Tip {Trial Size} worth about $2.25

nubar-white-tip

nubar-white-tip Pros

  • Affordable
  • Stark white so it is perfect for French Manicures or if you just want white polish
  • The handle was super comfortable to use.  All nail polishes should go with this design :)

Cons

  • Pretty streaky
  • Almost chalky in texture
  • Took a long time to dry

Verdict

I will use this until it is gone, but I won’t be purchasing unless I am unable to find an adequate stark white polish similar in color.

h2o+ Face Oasis Hydrating Skin Treatment {Trial Size} worth about $5.75

h2o+hydrating-treatment

h20+hydrating-treatment Pros

  • Oil free
  • Delivers deep hydration while minimizing the appearance of fine lines with phospholipids, multivitamin complex, &  moisturizing marine botanicals
  • Light gel texture
  • Noticeable skin tightening after one use

Cons

  • Initially has a very drying feel but that goes away in a few minutes

Verdict

I have way too many moisturizers in my possession to even thinking about purchasing, but if you’re looking for a different, yet effective moisturizer, this one is pretty great! :)

bellapierre Cosmetics Shimmer Powder in Champagne {Full Size}$14.99

bellapierre-shimmer-powder-champagne

bellapierre-shimmer-powder-champagne

bellapierre-shimmer-powder-champagne Pros

  • Gorgeous shimmery neutral shade
  • 100% pure mica powder
  • A little bit goes a long way
  • Long lasting
  • I didn’t see any where to purchase at a store level. Which isn’t a deal breaker for me. :)

Verdict

If my makeup organizer wasn’t already overflowing with eyeshadow right now, I would definitely purchase! They have 56 shades to choose from & they are all gorgeous based on the swatches! :)

When all is said & done, I received roughly $26 worth of beauty products from brands that I had never heard of, let alone used, & it would have cost $12 with shipping included!

Fab for less? My kind of service! :)
