While I haven’t been putting on too much makeup over the course of this pandemic, when I do, I want to be able to remove as much as possible before going in with my cleanser. These reusable eco pads have honestly been a godsend! They are so so soft and work so well with miscelar water or even just with water. The best part is that I don’t feel like I’m tugging at my skin while removing my makeup. I also love that they’re reusable so I don’t feel like I am adding too much waste. I definitely recommend this product to anyone that is looking for a low waste method of removing makeup without irritating the skin. -

aestheticalyalex Since I started bleaching my hair almost a year ago, I’ve been looking at a lot of ways to keep my hair hydrated. When received this big tub as well as a smaller tub of hydrating treatment 1 minute hair mask, I was so excited to try it. First of all because this mask retails for super cheap, and second because the ingredient list looked really good!
I’ve been using it mostly as a mask after showering and my overall impression is that it’s a little underwhelming. The consistency is kind of thin for a hair mask so I don’t feel like I was able to properly saturate my hair without using a ton of product. Secondly, I feel like 1 minute isn’t enough to have a hair mask in but honestly the effects were the same even if I left it in for 20 min instead of 1. Lastly, I also used it as a leave in treatment but it ended up making my hair feel really greasy and weighed down.
For context, my hair is pretty fine so I feel like this product should’ve worked pretty well for me as a mask. I kind of had a feeling it wouldn’t work as well as a leave in treatment but I can’t speak for anyone with different hair types.
I’m am definitely curious to see if the other variations of this mask work better so I don’t want to give my opinion on the whole line either.

I was just running out of cleanser and this saved me from having to go out to the store 😂
I’ve been using this gel wash for a week now and I’m really liking it! Its lightweight, foams well, and doesn’t feel like its stripping my skin when washing. I also love that the packaging is made of recycled materials and that the ingredients come from renewable resources.
My only complaint was that the fragrance was a little bit intense. But I am definitely excited to try all of the other products in their Bio line!

I received the Rose and Black Pepper scent which was surprisingly mild but definitely lasted me for a good part of the day before having to reapply. I was also pleasantly surprised to see that the rose scent is more dominant than the black pepper, but then again, there’s nothing wrong with having armpits that smell well seasoned hehe. I will definitely continue using this! -

I purchased the Briogeo B. Well Organic + Cold-Pressed 100% Castor Oil back in April 2019 and the bottle still isn't empty! I originally purchased this product with the intention of growing/nourishing my eyelashes but several months later I decided to start getting eyelash extensions. I obviously can't be putting oil on last extensions so I thought I would use it on my eyebrows to see if I could grow them out more and achieve that trendy bushy brow look. I've never really had a problem with my brows but there are still some sparse areas that I wanted filled.
After almost a year of consistently using this once a month, I am pretty happy with the way my brows look and I've gone from filling them in with pencil every day to just brushing through them with a lightweight and opaque brow gel. I don't think I will need to repurchase this product for quite some time but when I get to that point I probably will!

I’ve purchased the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask three times now which is crazy to me considering the price point. But I honestly love it so much and the results have been ASTRONOMICAL. I basically use this product as my night cream before going to bed and I always wake up with the plumpest and most hydrated skin. I’ve definitely also seen an improvement in the appearance of my pores which is something I was really hating about my face for a long time. This product has really been a game changer, especially during these dry winter months when my skin feels akin to that of a lizard. I’ve recently purchased the Pink Juice Moisturizer as well to use as my day cream and will have a review for that up after the holidays! -

As an avid user of lip balms (hoarder is probably a better word) I am pretty picky when it comes to choosing a balm for myself and I vehemently stay away from lip glosses as I find them to be far too sticky and my hair always finds a way of getting stuck in it.
I was a little apprehensive about this product at first since it claimed to be a balm/gloss hybrid but I've been such a fan of Laneige's lip sleeping mask so I knew it had to be good! This balm is not sticky at all but still has that thick consistency of a gloss that really helps deliver a good amount of moisture to my lips throughout the day. The Berry scent is also amazing I really want to try all of them now. I also love how it gives a really pretty natural pink tint to my lips which is a major bonus in my book. Overall, I am very happy with this product and would definitely recommend it to my fellow lip balm connoisseurs

I have been using this conditioner for about 4 weeks now and I've really been liking the results so far. This product is super rich and my hair felt really nourished and hydrated after only one use. My only complaint about the conditioner is that it contains dimethicone which I have been trying to avoid lately. -

I’ve been using this Detox & Repair shampoo for about 3 weeks now and I really like the results so far. The shampoo is super gentle and a little definitely goes a long way. I also love that it removes product buildup which is key for me since I use so much dry shampoo. My only complaint about this product is that it is not sulfate free which I have been trying to avoid lately. -

So I’ve been in love with the Glow Recipe watermelon sleeping mask since it came out and decided to try the Watermelon Glow Pink Juice Moisturizer as well. So far it’s been really good at moisturizing, especially during these dry winter months, and just making my skin look super healthy and plump throughout the day. And honestly, I know I say this for so many products, but a little definitely goes a long way. I use only 1 pump of product per day (I use the sleeping mask as my nighttime moisturizer which definitely helps make the product last longer) so I feel like I’m going to get really good use out of these 0.85oz. -
