I received this in a mini size from Sephora during my birthday month. I kept hearing about Drunk Elephant from online influencers so was excited to test it out on my skin.
First impression: It's a slightly thick creamy moisturizer with no smell. It applies a little thick on the skin and feels like it might be greasy but it absorbs well afterward.
Thoughts after a month of daily use: the moisturizer is more hydrating than a water gel moisturizer but not as thick as some cream night moisturizers. I found my skin became more hydrated than it was with the previous moisturizer I was using. It didn't cause me to break out a lot and the few pimples I got were easily treated with a spot treatment. I'm not sure if it's a result of the moisturizer or face wash I use but the pores around my nose became less noticeable during this testing period.
Overall impression: I'm happy with the results of this product and would probably buy it again, especially in the winter, however, the price ($87CAD) is way out of my budget. Works for my skin type but not my wallet!

I was searching on Sephora.ca for an acne spot treatment when I came across Origins Super Spot Remover. I had been happy with Origins products in the past so decided to give it a try. I purchased the product in store and was surprised at how small the bottle was! For $22CAD it seems like you're not getting much but the gel consistency makes a little go a long way. This product works great for me. For small surface acne it gets rid of them overnight, while the annoying cystic acne takes a few days. I have had a cystic pimple near my temple for ages and it finally disappeared after a few applications of this product. It's made with salicylic acid so it's great for drying up acne and removing dead skins cells that clog pores. I would recommend this and will be repurchasing when I run out! -

I purchased a mini of NARS concealer in Vanilla Light 2 (5811) to test if it can help cover hormonal acne marks. The mini was $16CAD which is a lot better than purchasing the full sized concealer ($37CAD) then finding out it's not the right one for you. I heard NARS is a fan favorite brand for foundations and concealers, which influenced my choice. I'm so pleased with this product. I was able to match my skin perfectly at Sephora. The concealer is applied with an applicator, it has a creamy consistency and good coverage. I love that my skin has a more even tone now, without noticeable blemishes. Will be purchasing the full sized concealer once my mini runs dry! -

This lip balm didn't work at all for me. It's winter right now so I was using it to hydrate my dry lips and all it did was dry them out more. I did like the slight color of the balm. It made my lips have a subtle shimmer. I would not recommend this product for use in the winter months though because it didn't do what it claimed to do. -

I purchased this charcoal bubble sheet mask because it claimed to refine pores. I've noticed lately that I have large pores around my nose and wanted to reduce their appearance. This is also my first experience using a sheet mask!
I loved this one. You apply the mask for 5-10 minutes and during that time it bubbles. By the end of the 10 minutes my face was frothy with bubbles.
I didn't notice any noticeable scent, which is good if you're sensitive to perfumes.
After I removed the mask it left a slimy moisture liquid on my face which I rubbed in before rinsing off.
The results? My pores were drastically smaller though not completely gone. I'm very happy with the results and would buy this one again.

IN LOVE! I never tried a body polish before and I think my body really needed it because the difference from before and after was like night and day. The body exfoliator is a pastel purple, slightly scented, creamy, grainy scrub that is effective at removing dead skin cells and nourishing your skin. My pro tip: use it before shaving your legs for an extra smooth I just shaved feeling. I'll definitely be purchasing more when mine runs out. -

I recieved this perfume as a sample with a Sephora purchase. I LOVE IT! It's my favourite perfume at the moment. Smells like it's inspired by nature with some floral and woodsy scents. My only complaint about this product is the price ($137CAD for a full size bottle) and that it doesn't last as long. This could be because it has less synthetics than other perfumes but it's still annoying. I'm planning on purchasing this after my sample runs out. The scent makes me so happy! -
