Let me know what you think in the comments below!
PRODUCT TESTING:
Palladio Eye Ink in Taupe ($6)
I received this product in my June 2016 Tombox. This shade is so unique; however, it doesn’t show up on the eyes at all. I don’t like the applicator because it dries out too fast. It is wet at first, but you have to wait forever for it to refill. It doesn’t go on smooth at all and it looks so patchy. I wasn’t a fan of this eyeliner at all. I wish it would have worked because the swatch is awesome.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream ($128)
I received this product (sample) in my June 2016 Beautyfix Box. This moisturizer is okay. It is heavily scented which I am not a huge fan of in skincare. I only used it a couple of times, but I didn’t notice a huge improvement in my skin. It feels nice and sinks into the skin quickly. However, many moisturizers feel nice on the skin. The cost is way too high for what it is. And for that reason, I will not be repurchasing.

Erno Laszlo Hydraphel Skin Supplement ($55)
I received this product (sample) in my June 2016 Beautyfix Box. I really loved this toner. It is very hydrating and my dry skin ate it up. It feels so refreshing and it is bit thicker than normal toners. I really like how it felt on my skin and that it gave my skin a little more luminosity. I wish it wasn’t so expensive because I would purchase the FULL SIZE. I will have to watch for a sale.

Repurchase:
MDSolarSciences Daily Eye Repair Emulsion ($82)
I received this product (sample) in my June 2016 Beautyfix Box. This eye emulsion is very pricey. I really did love it and it felt amazing on the eyes. It sunk into the skin very quickly and I just love how it feels. I wish it wasn’t so expensive because I would definitely repurchase. If I find it on sale, I would definitely pick it up. It is a great eye cream. I am just such a fan of MDSolarSciences. They make AMAZING products.

Repurchase:
Davines Authentic Cleansing Nectar Hair/Body ($22.11)
I received this product (sample) in my June 2016 Featured Birchbox. This was an okay hair/body cleanser. I didn’t try it in my hair because I don’t like putting body products in my hair. It is a very thin consistency and takes a bit of work to get a lather. It also has a very herbal scent and I wasn’t a huge fan of it. However, it didn’t strip my skin of moisture and it left my skin very soft. It is an okay body wash, but I wouldn’t purchase the FULL SIZE.

Repurchase:
Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow Volumizing Fiber Gel ($24)
I received this product (sample) in my 2nd June 2016 Birchbox. This brow gel is nice but it didn’t WOW me. I do love the applicator because it is so small. It makes it so easy to apply the product exactly where you want. However, the formula wasn’t my favorite. It is a bit runny and just didn’t work all that great. I love the packaging and the applicator, but not extremely impressed with the formula. I wouldn’t purchase the FULL SIZE.

Repurchase:
Whish Shave Crave with Vitamin K ($24)
I received this product (sample) in my 2nd June 2016 Birchbox. I really love Whish shaving creams and this one was really awesome. It is probably the best Whish shaving cream I have tried. It is so moisturizing and you can get a very close shave. It doesn’t have an overwhelming scent and it just feels so nice. It also seems to help prevent razor bumps. I love it and would definitely purchase the FULL SIZE!

Repurchase:
Neutrogena Ultra Light Cleansing Oil ($9.99)
I received this product in my Summer 2016 Beautycon BFF Box. I really enjoyed this cleansing oil and it is very affordable. It has an interesting sweet smell and it sort of reminds me of cough syrup. However, it does a great job at removing my face makeup. It isn’t the best at removing eye makeup. You will want to use an eye makeup remover first. However, it does remove any eye makeup that was left behind. It is very gentle and doesn’t break me out at all. It also didn’t feel overly oily. I really like it and would repurchase it.

Repurchase:
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Cashmere ($4.50)
I received this product in my Summer 2016 Beautycon BFF Box. I love NYX Jumbo Pencils and this shade is really nice. It doesn’t work that great as a shadow, but it is an amazing base. It is very creamy and easy to apply. I love the glow it gives the eyes. I haven’t tried it as a highlighter, but I plan to soon. It is so affordable and I will definitely buy more of these jumbo pencils.

Repurchase:
Klorane Shampoo With Mango Butter ($20)
I received this product (sample) in my June 2016 Allure Beauty Box. I love this shampoo. It smells AMAZING! I feel like I am on a tropical island every time I use it. It is very creamy and cleanses the hair without stripping the moisture. My hair was so soft and shiny. I really just can’t get over how amazing it smells and I just love how my hairs feels after using it. I would definitely buy the FULL SIZE! I love it so much!

Repurchase:
Juice Beauty Phyto-Pigments Satin Lip Cream in Blush ($24)
I received this product in my June 2016 PopSugar Must Have Mini Box. I am not a huge fan of Juice Beauty, but I did like this lipstick. It is very creamy and moisturizing on the lips. It also lasts a decent amount of time. I am a huge fan of the shade and it is a great every day color. It will go with so many looks. I wish the tube wasn’t so large because it makes it a bit difficult to apply. Overall, I really like this formula and shade. I don’t know if I would purchase more, but I will definitely continue using this shade.

Seraphine Botanicals Happy Hibiscus ($18)
I received this product in my June 2016 Ipsy Bag. I really like this blush. It is a gorgeous color and very pigmented. It is gorgeous for any season and blends like a dream. I don’t know if I would buy more because they price is a bit high for such a small pan. However, I love this color and will continue to use it. I really do like the formula and it lasts an okay amount of time on the cheeks.

Proud Mary 4N Ampoule Mask in Vita C ($3)
I received this product in my June 2016 Mishibox. This sheet mask is awesome. It is definitely one of my ultimate favorite sheet masks. It fits well and just feels amazing on the skin. It didn’t leave my skin feeling sticky at all. It really hydrated and plumped my skin. I just love how my skin felt after using it. I will definitely be repurchasing this sheet mask.

Repurchase:
Icona Milano Emotion Allowed Mascara ($19)
I received this product in my June 2016 Glossybox. I do not like this mascara at all. I will be tossing it in the trash. You have to use about five coats before you can notice any difference in your lashes. It is very messy and takes forever to dry. It also flakes off and smudges. I was really hoping to like this mascara, but I don’t like it at all.
