Let me know what you think in the comments below!
I received this product in my January 2016 Tombox. I really love Pop Beauty eye shadows. They are really pigmented and blend easily. I also love this color combination because the purple isn't overly purple. It looks really nice on the eyes. They lasted all day and I have nothing bad to say about these shadows.

RE:CIPE Slowganic Peach Sheet Mask ($2)
I received this product in my January 2016 Mishibox. This mask is a very thin sheet mask and it is very wet. It wasn't my favorite sheet mask ever. You leave it on for 15-20 minutes. It has a peach smell, but it is a more fake peach scent. It did moisturize my skin and plumped my skin a little. I like it, but it isn't my favorite.
I received this product in my January 2016 Mishibox. This mask was just so fun! It comes in two pieces which I thought was so awesome. It isn't a liquidy sheet mask. It really reminds me of eye gel patches, but for your whole face. Both parts were made of a gel like substance. You leave the mask on for 20-30 minutes and then peel off. I didn't notice any huge difference in my skin, but the mask felt so nice. My skin was a bit plumper afterwards as well. I will definitely buy more of these because I just really enjoyed it.

I received this product in my January 2015 Ipsy Bag. I don't own any eyeliner in this shade. It is a brown with a hint of olive. I really like this product for my lower lash line. It lasted pretty much all day. It is not overly creamy and takes a little pressure to apply. However, I didn't really have to tug very hard at my eyes which is good. It isn't my favorite eyeliner formula ever, but it works. I will continue to use this shade, but I don't think I would purchase any more shades.
I received this product in my January 2015 Ipsy Bag. This shade is so stunning and looks really good with blue eyes. I am so impressed with how pigmented these eye shadows are. They are so affordable and the pigmentation is insane. This shadow blended very easily and was so easy to apply. It also lasted on my eyes all day. I am a huge fan and will have to purchase more shades.
I received this product in my 2nd January 2016 Birchbox. I don't usually like these marker type eyeliners. They are usually so messy and hard to use. However, I was pleasantly surprised with this eyeliner. It is so extremely black and actually easy to apply. It didn't smudge at all and I could actually apply winged eyeliner. I don't know if I would repurchase it, but I will definitely continue using it.

I received this product in my Janaury 2016 Allure The Beauty Box. I really like that this eyeliner is not completely black. It has a hint of navy. I enjoyed this eyeliner as a lower lash eyeliner. It is very pigmented and lasts all day. I find that it is pretty waterproof. I am not a fan of the brush that comes with it though. I would prefer to use a smudge brush or a smaller soft brush. This brush is too hard and doesn't blend the eyeliner well at all. It actually removes the color. Other than the brush, I really love this eyeliner.

I received this product in my January 2016 Boxycharm Box. This mascara is just okay. I had high hopes for it, but it let me down. I love the packaging though. The mascara does add a lot of length to my lashes, but not much volume. It isn't horrible, but I have mascaras I like much more. It makes my lashes look really spidery. It is a little messy, but it doesn't flake off too bad. However, this mascara is so much fun to remove. You can remove it with just water and it comes off as tubes. That might explain the spidery look.

I received this product in my January 2015 LaRitzy Box. I love the concept of these highlighting papers. They are travel friendly and so portable. You just rip off a sheet and apply it to wherever you want to highlight. Unfortunately, the color is not right for my skin tone. It is a very orange highlight and doesn't look good at all on my pale skin. It shows up as a bright orange line and is so not flattering. These papers are extremely pigmented and shimmery. They last all day and are fun to use. If you have really tan or dark skin, you will really love these papers.

I received this product in my January 2015 LaRitzy Box. I was unsure how I would like this shade with my skin tone. However, I love it so much. It looks really nice with just about any look and is so comfortable to wear. It is almost a whipped consistency, but is very easy to apply. So far, I am loving everything from the brand GlamNatural. The color wears nicely and doesn't fade weird. It is also moisturizing. I can't say enough good things about this lip product.

I received this product in my January 2015 LaRitzy Box. I am a huge fan of citrus scents so I knew I would love this product. This is a really nice scrub that removes my dead skin cells. It smells just like lemons and even has bits of lemon inside. It just smells so amazing and is very moisturizing. I will continue to use this scrub because I just love it so much.
I received this product in my January 2015 LaRitzy Box. I foresee this being a holy grail of mine. I just love it so much. I love the packaging! It is so nice and totally vanity worthy. This is one thick cream and is made with 100% organic ingredients. There are so many butters in it and that is why it is so thick. You take a small amount and warm it between your palms. You then apply it to wherever you need moisture. This cream is beyond moisturizing and really saves me from dry patches. It is so fun to use and I just can't tell you how much I love it. It is the perfect winter product.
I received this product in my PopSugar Must Have Limited Edition Target Box. I really love Pixi skincare products. I was pleasantly surprised with these facial wipes. They actually worked really well. They were wet, but not overly wet. They really took off my makeup so easily. They also smell amazing. These face wipes didn't irritate or burn my skin at all. These are definitely a win for me.

I received this product in my Start Strong Limited Edition Birchbox. I don't like these cleansing towelettes. I had such high hopes for them because they are infused with Argan oil. However, these burn so bad. My eyes and skin felt like they literally were on fire. The burning sensation didn't last long which was nice. I also didn't have any redness. They did remove my makeup, but at a price. They are very wet as well. However, I just can't live with the burn. I will probably use these as swatch removers.

I received this product in my Start Strong Limited Edition Birchbox. I am not really a fan of pH changing lip products. This one was okay, but not amazing. It did add a nice pink shade to my lips and was really easy to use. I love that it is a balm because you can totally apply it on the go. I also really love the packaging. The formula is pretty moisturizing, but the color doesn't last long. It is a nice balm, but nothing spectacular. If you are looking for a balm that adds a slight pink tint to your lips, then you will love this. It also has slight fake mint smell. I don't know if I like the scent or not. I will continue to use it, but I won't repurchase.

I received this product (deluxe sample) in my Start Strong Limited Edition Birchbox. I have used Whish shave creams before and love them. I already knew I would like this product. It smells amazing because I love pomegranate scents. It is so moisturizing and really helps me achieve a close shave. It doesn't foam at all which is different but nice. I just love how smooth my legs feel after using this shave cream.
I received this product (sample) in my Winter BeautyCon BFF Box. I really enjoyed this toner. I felt like it really did hydrate my skin. It has a nice scent that isn't overly strong. It didn't irritate my skin at all and just really refreshed my face. It sprays nice and feels very cooling. I can definitely see me buying the FULL SIZE.

I received this product in my Winter BeautyCon BFF Box. I was so excited for this product because I have heard so many amazing things about Soap & Glory. However, this really isn't my favorite hand cream. It is moisturizing and it smells okay. I was really hoping to fall in love with the scent, but I just didn't. It is just an average hand cream for me. However, I did like that my hands didn't feel greasy after using it. I will continue to use it, but I won't repurchase. I do look forward to trying other Soap & Glory products. I am hoping they are better.
I received this product in my Winter BeautyCon BFF Box. I love that Revlon has stepped up their lipstick game. I really enjoyed this lip product so much. I am a huge fan of the color and the formula. It is very matte and just stunning. It stays on the lips a very long time and isn't uncomfortable to wear. I also really love the packaging. It smells so amazing...like cupcakes mixed with gummy worms. I really need to pick up more shades!

I received this product in my Winter BeautyCon BFF Box. This is not my favorite highlighter. It works, but it is very chunky on the skin. It does catch the light, but I don't like the huge chunks of glitter. I also didn't like that it isn't very easy to blend. I will continue to use it, but it is not the best highlighter in my opinion. I do love the shade and will probably just use it as a brow bone highlight or an eye shadow.
Starlooks Lipliner in Stellar ($14)
I received this product in my January 2016 LipMonthly Bag. This is probably one of my favorite lip liners ever. It is so creamy and applies so easily. I used it as an all over lip color. The shade is so stunning and I couldn't stop looking at my lips. I love how pigmented it is and that it lasts a very long time on the lips. Overall, I am a huge fan of this lip liner.
I received this product in my January 2016 LipMonthly Bag. I am a huge fan of OFRA liquid lipsticks so I knew I would love this product. I also really love this shade and it is now my favorite OFRA liquid lipstick that I own. It works so well with my pale skin. I love the formula because it is not overly drying. It is so easy to apply and lasts for a very long time on the lips. I just can't say enough good things about this product. I will be wearing this lip color all the time.
Oscar Blandi Hair Masque ($25)
I received this product in my January 2016 LipMonthly Bag. I also am a fan of Oscar Blandi products. I have never tried a hair masque from them and was excited to try this one. It worked really well at hydrating my hair. It also smelled nice. It didn't weight my hair down and my hair looked so shiny. I don't know if I would repurchase it, but I did really enjoy it.
