I received this product in my Fall 2015 Beautycon BFF Box. This gloss is very sheer. It just looked like a clear gloss on my lips. It felt nice on the lips, but nothing amazing. I really love the scent of this gloss. Overall, this is pretty good gloss. Nothing to write home about, but nice to have.

I received this product in my November 2015 PopSugar Must Have Box. Can I just say I am obsessed with this palette? I really am! It is amazing. I love every single shade and they are so pigmented. These shadows are so easy to use and they blend amazingly. You can create the perfect the fall look with these shadows. They also last all day long. I am beyond impressed with this palette. I am going to have to buy more Tarte shadows now! I am just so in love!

I received this product (sample) in my November 2015 3B Box. This is a nice gel cream. It felt very nice on my face. It is very hydrating and really does plump up the skin. I also love that is inexpensive. It didn't break me out or irritate my skin. Overall, I really liked this gel cream.

I received this product (sample) in my November 2015 3B Box. I love toners. I don't have many toners at all and am always excited to receive them. I really loved this toner. It is gentle and didn't sting my skin. It also removed any leftover makeup (after washing my face). It doesn't have a strong smell and doesn't dry out my skin. I really love it!

I received this product (sample) in my November 2015 3B Box. This product is great at removing makeup. It removed all my face makeup so easily. I really love cleansing oils. However, do not get this product too close to your eyes. It stung my eyes because I got it too close to my eyes. I really love this cleansing gel, but I don't think I will repurchase it because it irritated my eyes.

I received this product in my November 2015 LaRitzy Box. This blush is crazy pigmented and is just so beautiful. It looked amazing with my skin tone. The blush is a tad pit powdery, but that is okay. It lasted all day on my cheeks. I was so impressed by this blush. Blush never lasts very long on my skin, but this one did. It is just stunning and I will be wearing this shade a ton. It will go with every look.

I received this product in my November 2015 LaRitzy Box. I love finishing powders. I really loved this powder for "baking". It is a bit pricey, but it is worth every penny. It really gave my under eye area a very smooth effect. The powder is so finely milled and just feel so luxurious. I love how velvety it feels and that it doesn't have a smell. This is a very nice powder and I really love it so much.

I received this product in my November 2015 Boxycharm Box. I love the Pur~lisse line! Everything I try from them is amazing. This is a very nice eye serum...very expensive, but nice! It has a different texture, but I love it. It almost feels like a primer and a serum in one. It left my under eye area very moisturized and soft. It is very gentle and can be used both morning and night. The tube is very small, but I was able to get product out of the pump (it has a pump on the top). I just had to hold down for a couple seconds and out came the product. I like this serum, but don't think I will repurchase because it is expensive. If I find it on a great sale, I will definitely repurchase.

Too expensive

I received this product in my November 2015 Boxycharm Box. I love the color swatched on my hand. It is so pigmented and such a beautiful color. However, it is not my favorite color on my lips. I don't think it goes very well with my pale skin. If I was a bit more tan, it would be gorgeous. I really like the formula and it is very pigmented. The color lasts a very long time on the lips and it wears lovely. It is comfortable on the lips and not sticky. This is a great lip product!

Love the formula, but not the color on my skin tone

I received this product in my November 2015 Boxycharm Box. I love blushes and I loved this blush. It is very pigmented and not powdery at all. It didn't have a ton of fallout which was very nice. A little goes a long way and you have to use a light hand. However, the finish is stunning. It really warmed up my face and the color lasted all day. I am so impressed with this blush! I need more colors from this line.

Pure Cosmetics Glossygloss in Pouty Pink ($20)

Rating: Repurchase:

I received this product in my Limited Edition Holiday Glossybox. I love the packaging and the light. However, I wish there was a way to turn the light off in the day. It is hard to see where I am putting it in the day. I love the shade and it looks so nice on the lips. It is not sticky and feels very comfortable on the lips. This gloss also lasted a very long time on the lips which was impressive. I just really love this lip gloss.

L'ATELIER MAQUILLAGE Mascara KeraCare ($30)

I received this product in my Limited Edition Holiday Glossybox. It is a very expensive mascara. I don't usually use skinny wand mascaras. However, I really did like this mascara. I love the tube because it prevents too much mascara from coming out. This mascara really helps get every single lash. It doesn't add much volume, but it does add a lot of length. It is the perfect mascara for combining with a volumizing mascara. It would also make an amazing bottom lash mascara. It didn't flake off and it is very black. I don't think I would pay $30 for this mascara, but it is nice to have. I will definitely continue to use it.

Too expensive and hard to find in US

I received this product (sample) in my 2nd November 2015 Birchbox. I love dry shampoos so much. This one smells amazing. However, I was not impressed with it's oil soaking ability. It didn't soak up my hair oil as well as I would have liked. I am so in love with the Living Proof dry shampoo and this one didn't live up to that one. I didn't hate it, just wasn't all that impressed. It does smell amazing and did leave my hair with some volume. However, I won't be repurchasing.

Not impressed

I received this product in my October 2015 Tombox. I really love this eye shadow. It is very pigmented and blends like a dream. I was unsure how I was going to like the color. However, it looks beautiful blended with other colors. I used this eye shadow in my Thanksgiving Day look and I love how it turned out. I really need to buy more of these eye shadows. They last all day and are very pigmented. I am very impressed.

I received this product in my November 2015 Glossybox. I am beyond a fan of sheet masks...I am obsessed with them. I loved this sheet mask and it was so relaxing. It smells like lavender and is the perfect evening mask. I don't think it helped me have sweet dreams, but it did leave my skin feeling amazing. It plumped up my skin and made my skin feel so hydrated. I also had fun peeling the top layer off to reveal a gel like mask. The mask fit pretty well and wasn't uncomfortable. I am really impressed with this sheet mask and I will have to buy more!

I received this product in my November 2015 Allure Sample Society Box. I love beauty oils and this one is very nice. It is extremely expensive, but it is nice. I don't think it is a miracle worker and I wouldn't pay that price. However, I would gladly take more samples of this and I will use this sample up. A little goes a very long way. It is very hydrating and just feels beautiful on the skin. I really love it.
