Let me know what you think in the comments below!
I received this product in my November 2015 Featured Birchbox. I really love dry shampoos and am always looking for my holy grail dry shampoo. I seriously think this might be it. It is amazing. It is a white powder, but it blends into the hair quickly. It doesn't leave my hair feeling gross or full of product. This dry shampoo is amazing at soaking up oil. It makes my hair look so fresh and clean! It also added a lot of volume to my hair. I am in love with it!
Rating:I received this product in my Fall 2015 Beautycon BFF Box. I am not a huge purple eye fan. However, this is a very deep purple. I really love this color and it made my eyes pop. The formula is okay. It is not as creamy as I would like it to be. It does tug a little on your eyes. However, the drier formula really lasts a very long time on the eyes (especially the waterline). I really do like this pencil and love the color.
Rating:I received this product (deluxe sample) in my November 2015 Beautyfix Box. I love facial mists so much and I couldn't wait to try this one. It is a very nasty green color, but it doesn't transfer onto the face. It actually is a very nice facial mist. It smells nice too, but it does get old after awhile. It is so refreshing and so hydrating. It is really good for normal to dry skin types. The mist sprays very nice and evenly on the face. Overall, I am really loving this facial mist. It is very pricey, but it is organic and feels amazing.
Rating:I received this product in my November 2015 Glossybox. I love shimmery eye shadows and this shade is stunning. It is very pigmented and actually very easy to work with. It doesn't have a ton of fall out which I was very impressed by. The shade looks gorgeous on the eyes and catches the light beautifully. It lasted all day and you don't need a lot for it to show up. This eye shadow is so perfect for the upcoming holidays and I know I will be wearing it all the time.
Rating:I received this product (sample pack) in my November 2015 Mishibox. I have strayed away from using facial cloths for removing makeup. I have found they really dry out my skin and can irritate my face. However, I wanted to try these to see if they are better than US versions. I must say they are. These facial cloths are very moist which I prefer. They are also very gentle and remove my makeup very easily. They didn't irritate my skin at all. I really love these facial tissues.
Rating:I received this product in my November 2015 Mishibox. I am totally obsessed with sheet masks and couldn't wait to try this one! I really loved this sheet mask! It fit so well and felt so nice on the skin. There was a ton of product left over, but I enjoy that. My skin felt so hydrated and looked plumped. Overall, I am a huge fan of this sheet mask.
Rating:I received this product in my November 2015 Mishibox. I love Secret Key and they make amazing eye products. This one is no exception. It is a huge tube and will last me forever. I love that about Asian skincare...It is so inexpensive and you get a ton of product. This eye cream feels amazing on the eyes and sinks into the skin very quickly. It really hydrated my under eye area and I just really love it.
Rating:I received this product in my November 2015 Mishibox. I am a huge fan of snail products. They really are amazing and I have noticed an amazing improvement in my skin from using these products. This is a huge tub of cream and will last a very long time. The packaging is so stunning and looks lovely in my bathroom. It feels so luxurious. It is a gel cream and sinks into the skin very quickly. It left my skin hydrated and even glowing. I actually look forward to using this cream every night. It doesn't have a strong smell which I really love. I am obsessed!
I received this product (sample) in my November 2015 Allure Sample Society Box. I have been using bar soaps because I am now a huge fan of them. However, I wanted to try this shower gel. I really don't think this shower gel is anything special. It is very strong smelling and I don't particularly like the smell. It reminds me of lavender and cinnamon. It does linger on your skin which says a lot about how strong it is. It also didn't leave my skin soft. I am just not a huge fan of this shower gel.
I received this product (sample) in my November 2015 Allure Sample Society Box. I love eye makeup remover and actually needed to get some more. This came at a perfect time. I am use to oil bases eye removers and this one is not. I was unsure of how well it would preform. I am pleased to say that it is amazing. It took all my eye makeup off so easily (even my heavy eye makeup). I didn't have to pull at my eyes at all. It is also very gentle and doesn't sting my eyes. I love it and will definitely have to purchase more.
I received this product (sample) in my November 2015 Allure Sample Society Box. I have heard so many amazing things about Mally products. I had high hopes for this gloss; however, it let me down. The gloss itself isn't that bad, but the applicator is horrible. The bristles on the brush are so hard and it applies the gloss so terribly. I wonder if this problem is because it is a sample size. I hope the FULL SIZE is not the same. The gloss isn't my favorite either. I love the color, but the formula is just okay. It smells amazing, but it doesn't last very long on the lips. I am hoping I just got a bad sample. I really didn't think this gloss was all that amazing. However, once it is finally on the lips, it looks really nice.
Rating:I received this product (sample) in my 2nd November 2015 Birchbox. I love hair oils, but this one was just okay. It wasn't anything special. It was a bit too heavy for my hair. It did add shine to my hair, but it weighed it down a bit. I will be giving this to someone who can use it.
I received this product (sample) in my 2nd November 2015 Birchbox. I love that this is a multi-purpose product. It is an oil that can be used on the face, body, and hair. I tried it on my face and I really like it. It sinks in quickly and doesn't leave my face looking like a oil pit. It also smells divine. It is probably one of the best oils I have tried in a long time. It feels so fancy and I love it so much. I can't wait to see how I like it on my hair and body!
I received this product (sample) in my November 2015 Ipsy Bag. You are suppose to apply a thin layer to dry skin. Next, you wait 10 seconds and rinse off. It is suppose to remove dullness. I totally agree with that statement. The peel was extremely gentle, but I could tell it removed the dead skin. It was actually really fun to use and my skin felt so soft afterwards. I wish the sample was larger because I really loved this product.
I received this product (sample) in my November 2015 Ipsy Bag. I am not a huge primer person and am always forgetting to apply primer before my foundation. I also am not a huge fan of the complete matte face. However, I really did love this primer. It is a mix between a silicon and hydrating primer. It really is a perfect balance. It left my face looking so smooth and really did help my foundation last all day. It blurred my face beautifully and I didn't hate the matte effect (it wasn't too overly mattifying). This really is a great face primer and I will definitely be using it more.
I received this product in my November 2015 Ipsy Bag. I love gel eyeliners and I love navy eyeliner. This eyeliner is the best of both worlds. I figured I would hate the brush that came with it because it felt really cheap. However, it actually is a decently nice brush and made applying the gel eyeliner very easy. The color is stunning and I am obsessed with it. The formula is also pretty good. It lasted all day. The eyeliner is very (and I mean very) creamy and applies extremely easily. You do have to be a bit careful though because it takes a while to dry. I was worried that it would stay creamy wet and smudge everywhere. However, it didn't and I loved it. Overall, I am a huge fan of this gel eyeliner.
I received this product (sample) in my November 2015 Ipsy Bag. I really love the Smashbox brand. This mascara was pretty good. It isn't my favorite mascara ever, but it is definitely not my least favorite either. You have to use a few coats in order to really make your lashes stand out. It is a drier formula, but not too drying. The wand is nice and I didn't find it to be messy. It did give my lashes some length and volume. I also didn't notice a lot of flaking which is always nice. Overall, this is a pretty good mascara.
I received this product in my November 2015 Lip Monthly Bag. I really like the Mirabella Lip Pencil formula. It is matte, but creamy. I am obsessed with this red color and it is so perfect for the holidays. It makes your lips look gorgeous and your teeth looks so white. It feels very nice on the lips and lasts a very long time. I just really love this lip color and formula. It is pricey, but it is worth it.
I received this product in my November 2015 Lip Monthly Bag. I am a huge fan of the OFRA Liquid Lipstick formula. It is the best liquid lipstick I have tried. And can we talk about this shade? It is so stunning and such a beautiful deep fall color. I am obsessed. I love how it looks on my lips and with my skin tone. It is drying (if you don't like that wear some balm underneath), but it lasts all day. This formula is no joke...It really lasts all day! I also love that it fades beautifully and doesn't look funky. I am a huge fan of this liquid lipstick.
I received this product in my November 2015 Lip Monthly Bag. I love Beauty For Real lip glosses! They are so fun because they come with a light and a mirror. They are the perfect on the go lip product. I really loved the shade of this gloss. It is very glossy and sparkly. It would truly go with about any look you want to create. It feels very nice on the lips and actually lasts a good amount of time. I just really love it!
