Milky Dress Premium Brighter ($15.77)
I received this product (sample) in my June 2016 3BBox. This is a really nice face lotion. I love the scent so much and it is very moisturizing. It didn’t take long at all to sink into my skin. I am also happy to report that it didn’t break me out. I don’t know if I will repurchase anytime soon because I have so many face creams right now. However, I really do like it.

Caolion Premium Hot & Cool Pore Pack Duo ($30)
I received this product (sample) in my June 2016 Glossybox. I love that this is a two-step mask. The first step is a heat mask. It feels very warm on the skin and it exfoliates the skin extremely well. I just love how it feels on the skin. The second step is a cooling mask. This mask is extremely cooling. I haven’t felt any mask like it before. I really did notice a reduction in pore size. I am a huge fan of this system and just love how it made my skin feel. My skin felt so clean afterward. I would definitely purchase it again!

Farmacy Coconut Gel Mask Medley 3 pack ($24)
I received this product in my June 2016 Boxycharm Box. I love sheet masks and gel masks are so awesome. I get such an amazing satisfaction from peeling the paper off to reveal the gel. These masks are awesome. I really like Farmacy products and really loved these gel masks. They felt so refreshing on the skin and my skin looked radiant after using them. They weren’t overly wet which was nice. I would definitely consider purchasing them again.

Dr. Brandt PoreDermabrasion ($58)
I received this product (sample) in my July 2016 Featured Birchbox. This is a pretty great facial scrub. It is quite pricey so I wouldn’t repurchase it. It did a great job at scrubbing off the dead skin. My skin was left smooth and glowing after. However, I didn’t notice any reduction in pore size. I like it, but I don’t love it enough to repurchase.

Repurchase:
UNT Aqua Nettoyant Cleanser ($11.99)
I received this product (sample) in my July 2016 3B Box. I wasn’t really a fan of this cleanser. It did a nice job at cleansing my face and it didn’t break me out. However, I don’t like the smell at all. It seriously smells like chlorine. I have never had a cleanser that smelled like chlorine. Chlorine is a chemical that can be harmful to the skin so it made me a bit nervous using. I wouldn’t repurchase due to the scent.

European Wax Center Oh My Brow! Brow Highlighter in Pearl ($19)
I received this product in my July 2016 PopSugar Must Have Box. This product was just okay and I didn’t find myself reaching for it. The highlight is very subtle. It is a smooth formula and it was easy to apply. However, it barely shows up. If you are looking for a VERY subtle highlight, then you will love this. I wouldn’t repurchase because it is just an okay product for me.

Repurchase:
Marcelle Xtension Plus Curl Mascara ($14)
I received this product (sample) in my 2nd July 2016 Birchbox. This mascara was pretty good. It works really well when combined with other mascaras. It gives a beautiful natural lash look. It builds up easily and doesn’t clump. My lashes were easy to separate. It didn’t smudge and it held my lash curl. Overall, I really liked it. I don’t think I will repurchase it, but I will continue to use it.

Repurchase:
Pixi Lengthy Fiber Mascara ($16)
I received this product in my July 2016 Aspyn Ovard VIA Box. No, No, NO. I don’t like this mascara at all. It didn’t do anything for my lashes. The fibers irritated my eyes so much. I constantly felt like there was something in my eyes. It was actually quite painful. I should have done a crap post on this product because I didn’t like it at all. It was also hard to use and didn’t build up at all. It just made my lashes look so spidery and ugly. I am not a fan and will definitely never purchase it.

Repurchase:
Too Faced Hangoverx Replenishing Face Primer ($32)
I received this product (sample) in my July 2016 Ipsy Bag. I really enjoyed this primer. It sinks into the skin very quickly and I LOVE the scent. It just smells so good. It didn’t break me out and my makeup did last all day. It works great for summer makeup. I didn’t feel like my makeup was running off my face. I love that it is a bit moisturizing as well. Overall, I really enjoyed this primer. I don’t know if I would repurchase, but I really do like it!

theBalm Meet Matt(e) Trimony in Matt Kumar ($42)
I received this product (sample) in my July 2016 Ipsy Bag. I love theBalm eyeshadows and this shade is gorgeous. It is so pigmented and easy to blend. I loved creating a look with it and there are so many more looks I could create using it. It didn’t crease on me and lasted all day. I definitely need to purchase the palette.

Repurchase:
TOSOWOONG Soft Touch Sun Cream ($18)
I received this product in my July 2016 Mishibox. I enjoyed this sun cream. It did what a sunscreen is supposed to do…protect your skin from the sun. It was easy to use and didn’t feel overly greasy. It sunk into my skin quickly and I was able to apply my makeup on top. It was also easy to blend. I love that it didn’t break me out! I would consider purchasing it again if I didn’t have SO many sunscreens right now.

EX1 Cosmetics Blusher in Pretty in Peach ($14)
I received this product in my July 2016 VIM Box. This blush is stunning. I thought I would love it when I swatched it and I was totally right. It is amazing. It is so pigmented and creamy. It lasts a very long time on my cheeks. It is easy to blend and I just love the color. It is the perfect summer blush. I will be wearing this blush all summer! I totally need to pick up more products from this line.

Gerard Cosmetics Color Your Smile Lip Gloss in Fiji ($24)
I received this product in my July 2016 VIM Box. Um NO! I am not a fan of this gloss at all. I really don’t know why they are so hyped up on YouTube. Again, I should have done a crap post on this gloss. I didn’t because I really do love the color. It is gorgeous. It looks okay on the lips and it lasts a decent amount of time. It is sticky so if you don’t like sticky glosses, you will not like this gloss. I love the mirror and the light. However, so many companies do it better. This lip gloss smells terrible and it tastes even worse. I kept feeling like I had bad breath all day…that is how bad it smells. I am hoping this was just a mishap with this gloss and not all the glosses are that way. I wish I could use it, but I just can’t because of the smell. It also isn’t the best formula. I just don’t like this gloss and I wouldn’t purchase anymore!

Makeup Geek Pigment in Utopia ($9)
I received this product in my July 2016 VIM Box. I love Makeup Geek, but for some reason their products crease on me (and most eye products don’t). However, that won’t stop me from using them. This shade is so pigmented and stunning. It looks gorgeous on the eyes. I like the design of the packaging because I can fit a small brush right inside the hole. It is less messy this way. However, it is a pigment so it is a bit messy when you apply it. It was easy to blend and I just love the shade so much. I would definitely pick up more pigments.

Repurchase:
First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser ($20)
I received this product (sample) in my July 2016 Sephora Play! Box. I am a HUGE fan of First Aid Beauty. It is one of those products that are really as good as the hype. This cleanser was really nice. It did a great job at removing the dirt and makeup from my skin. It felt awesome on my skin and didn’t break me out at all. I love how gentle yet effective these products are. I would definitely consider repurchasing it and it is definitely affordable.

Repurchase:
Mally Beauty Evercolor Starlight Waterproof Eyeliner Single in Ice Blue ($18)
I received this product in my July 2016 Boxycharm. I love, love, LOVE this color! It is so stunning and perfect for summer. It lasts a long time on the eyes. The only problem I have with it is that it takes quite a bit of pressure to get it to show up on the eyes. Once it is on, it lasts. It can be a bit patchy to apply. I will still use it because I love the color so much. It adds a pop of color to the eyes and I just love it. I don’t think I will repurchase because the formula is just okay.

Repurchase:
NOYAH Lip Gloss in Malbec ($16)
I received this product in my July 2016 Boxycharm. Omgsh, I LOVE this gloss so much. I loved the packaging from the get go. I really thought this would be just like every other lip gloss out there, but it is not! I also was afraid of the color. However, on the lips, it looks stunning. The formula is amazing and I am going to say that it is the BEST lip gloss formula I have ever tried. It glides on the lips so smoothly and it is beyond comfortable to wear. It lasts a decently long time on the lips and it fades beautifully. I have never worn a gloss that I loved as much as this one. You seriously need to try it to see what I am talking about. I will definitely need to pick up more in different shades!

PYT Hair Oil Treatment ($30)
I received this product in my July 2016 Boxycharm. This hair oil is okay. It smells completely like a man to me. The scent is a little strong. I also didn’t notice it doing much for my hair. It didn’t weigh my hair down but it also didn’t keep my hair frizz-free. I am just not a huge fan of this hair oil. I will give the rest away and I wouldn’t repurchase.

Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm in Super Strawberry ($17)
I received this product (sample) in my July 2016 Allure Beauty Box. I really like these chubby sticks, but I don’t think they are worth the price. I will gladly accept samples, though. I love this shade and it is perfect for summer. It glides on the lips very easily and it is very moisturizing. I don’t have to wear a balm when using these chubby sticks. The color lasts a decent amount of time. Overall, I really like them but wouldn’t spend $17 on them.

La Mer The Moisturizing Soft Cream ($170)
I received this product (sample) in my July 2016 Allure Beauty Box. Dang it! This soft cream is amazing. The price is crazy high…but they are right…La Mer really is amazing. This cream looks like a plain old moisturizer…that is until you apply it to your skin. I don’t know what it is but it feels so amazing on the skin. You don’t need much at all (which is great due to the price). It sinks into the skin very quickly and instantly hydrates the skin. My skin felt so smooth even days after using it just one time. It didn’t break me out at all and my skin was glowing for days. It really is worth the price. Now I just have to save up and explain to myself that I really can spend that much on a facial cream.
