GOODAL PREMIUM SNAIL TONE-UP HYDROGEL MASK 

I received this product in my August 2016 PinkSeoul Mask Box. I love gel masks so much. However, this one was a bit hard to use. It wanted to slide and it stung a little bit (nothing too bad). It fit okay, but it was so hard to get on the face. It kept wanting to fold over. My skin was hydrated and plump after using which was nice. It also was a bit sticky. I don’t think I would repurchase because there are other gel masks that I enjoy more.

Repurchase:

Eau Thermale Avene PhysioLift Eyes

I received this product (sample) in my September 2016 Allure Beauty Box. I love Avene products and this product is really nice. The sample is so small so I didn’t get many uses out of it. Therefore, I can’t give it a proper review. It felt really nice under the eyes and it sunk into the skin very quickly. I love that it contains retinol and it isn’t harsh around the eyes. It definitely hydrates the skin and I really enjoy it. I don’t know if I would repurchase because I have so many eye creams right now. If there is a great sale, I would consider purchasing.

Have so many eye creams

Sephora Collection Rouge Shine Lipstick in Love Spell ($12.50)

I received this product (sample) in my September 2016 Sephora Play! Box. I love this lipstick so much. I love the color and it is so comfortable to wear. It is very moisturizing and hydrating. It doesn’t last too long on the lips but that is totally okay. It is so easy to apply so I don’t mind that it doesn’t last long. It is just such a pretty color that I can wear with just about any look. It looks great with my pale skin. I really like the formula and I would definitely consider purchasing the FULL SIZE and other shades.

Repurchase:

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Gel ($22)

I received this product (sample) in my September 2016 Sephora Play! Box. I really like this brow gel. I don’t think I would buy it because it is pricey. I have other brow gels that work just as good. It really does keep my brows in place all day and it isn’t messy. It was very easy to use and apply. I would gladly accept more samples of this product. It really is a great brow gel.

Possibly on sale

Dr. Jart+ Water Drop Hydrating Moisturizer ($36)  

I received this product (sample) in my September 2016 Sephora Play! Box. I really love this moisturizer. It is so cool because it forms drops of water on your skin. When you rub it into your skin, it becomes very wet and sinks into the skin. It is just so cool to watch and it is so fun to use. It really moisturized my skin and left my skin so soft. It doesn’t irritate my skin at all. I just love it so much and I would definitely consider purchasing the FULL SIZE!

Repurchase:

ModelLauncher Brow Duo Pencil in Taupe ($12)

I received this product in my September 2016 Glossybox. This brow pencil is more like a brow wax. It doesn’t offer much color and you have to press pretty hard for it to show up. I am not the biggest fan. I really don’t like the color because it has a red tint. It does keep my brows in place because it is more of a wax. It took a while to get my brows to appear as I wanted them to. I wouldn’t repurchase and I don’t think I will use it again.

Not a fan

KORRES Modern Greek Apothecary Volcanic Minerals Twist Eyeshadow ($18)

I received this product in my September 2016 Glossybox. I love the deep smoky color of this eyeshadow crayon. It was very creamy and easy to apply. I am a huge fan of the shade and how it looks on the eyes. It dries VERY quickly so it was very hard to blend. You have to work extremely quickly. I think I will use it more as a base color or just a lid color the next time. It doesn’t work as an all over the eye product. I don’t think I will repurchase because it is hard to blend. It did last all day and doesn’t budge. I will use this stick again.

Repurchase:

Hard to blend
