I don't normally like ginger as I find it can be a bit "spicy" in tea, but this tea was so refreshing both morning and night and had a great scent too. It was also really great at settling my stomach after a meal or if I'm feeling a little nauseated. Such a great alternative to chamomile tea! -

As someone who owns, I kid you not 20 of these spherical delights, this has a refreshing minty scent and tingles slightly on the lips. I LOVE minty lip balms and this one is just perfect. I love the old formula, the shape of the balm and then scent, but I always had to reapply every hour. Now, I can go 4 hours (if I don't eat) without reapplying and with my lips still feeling comfortably smooth.

Inside one of these beautifully packaged boxes is a single waterless mask encased in a resealable bag. They say you can use this mask up to 3x to aid in collagen and elastin synthesis, but I was easily able to use this 5x so at $29 per use, it was slightly easier to stomach the price tag. The mask itself is SUPER pretty with the pattern doubling as a way to know which is the correct side to have on your skin! All you need to remember is that you want the pattern to show! The mask fits very tightly and has ear loops for the chin and face. I wish the forehead portion of the mask was a bit bigger as I would have liked the mask to go all the way up to my hairline. If Charlotte Tilbury hadn't come out with a dry sheet mask with the same technology for just $27/mask, I would probably purchase this one again because the technology is pretty fantastic. Dry sheet masks are less messy and honestly make my skin feel better than the wet ones because I don't like my skin feeling tacky which is what a lot of essences do. If someone gave me a Nannette de Gaspe mask I would be over the moon, but if I were to purchase another dry sheet mask? Between the two that I have tried, I'd have to go with the CT one just because I felt the results were pretty similar in terms of hydration, skin and ease of use. If there were no CT mask, I would definitely keep treating myself to this! -
Shu Uemura Lasting Soft Gel Pencils

I wore these liners for a full work day which from application to removal is around 11.5 hours and no it wasn't as crisp as when I first applied at 8am, BUT I didn't have inadvertent smoky eyes. I needed a cotton swab with oil-based eye makeup remover to fully remove this eyeliner so I would say that all in all, this is a liner I can trust for close to the waterline and for general drawing on the face since this is waterproof. My cut crease didn't budge for hours even when I tried! -

There was a bit of variation in application and consistency among the shades. I don't think there will be much to complain about when it comes to the satin finishes, but I would at least swatch the mattes as the two I had were quite different from each other with one being smooth and the other being patchy. -

This is what I use for ULTIMATE volume. In addition to getting those perfectly beachy waves that you see on those "wanderlust" travel Instagram accounts, this is really great at giving hair some massive volume at the roots. A blow out is really what gives you volume so what I do on day old hair is spray my roots and then blow dry while flipping my hair in the OPPOSITE direction. It honestly takes just one minute to be ready! The salt provides a clean-feeling texture while the water base lets you "start over" by giving you enough moisture for a fresh blow-out. -

I much prefer sprays for texturizing my hair as it is so long that I need a product that covers more ground without weighing it down, but this did the trick when I needed it to. It provides light hold without weighing down my long hair and my husband enjoys it with his short hair as it keeps things looking "fluffy" but controlled! -

This is a lightweight, refreshing spray dry shampoo which sprays out clear. Like all dry shampoos, its job is to absorb oil and give day old hair a second or even third chance at life without caking up your scalp. This has the same scent as the Airy Builder, but for some reason I found it super strong in the dry shampoo. I guess it's the aerosol aspect that gives the floral fragrance an extra kick. -

This is a lightweight dry texture foam that can be applied to either damp or dry hair for medium styling hold. I have a hard time getting used to foams, but this one smelled so nice that I got over my "fear of the foam" and gave it a go. I would say that it is certainly lighter than trying to "set" my hair with hairspray after styling, but while I normally curl my hair, I often struggle with maintaining volume at the roots. Using this on towel-dried hair from root to tip has given my hair enough texture to make it look slightly lifted. -
