Shu Uemura Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil
I received a very small sample of this cleansing oil. The sample was so small I honestly cant give an in depth review because I won't really know how this will affect my skin long term. It seems okay but I can't say much more.

I got the charcoal mask in my ipsy box and I really loved it. It was my favorite item in the box. It was super foamy and bubbly unlike many other masks that I've tried that advertise they are bubble masks but you barely get any effect. This one started working almost immediately when I began applying and continued to bubble for several minutes. The bubbles then began to pop and dry out which really tickled me quite a bit so I took it as a sign that it was time to remove the mask. As I splashed my face with water the bubbles began to reactivate and foam up again so I used the luxurious foam to cleanse my face. My face was really soft and smooth afterwards and my complexion looked wonderful. I would definitely purchase it again. I'd also like to add that the mask package is very generous. They gave me enough to apply a very thick coat to my face and there was still some left in the package once I was done so I applied it to my neck and decollete as well. -

This palette was my introduction to Huda products. I just had to buy it because I saw my makeup aficionado friends swooning over it so I just needed to see for myself. It is a bit pricey which was a light turn off and the colors are definitely very bright which was kinda of worrisome as well because I didn't want to end up looking like a clown.
The first look I decided to do with the palette was the sunset look because it's quite fitting with these colors. I actually ended up a lot more pleased with the outcome than I thought I would. I used some yellows, reds, and golds and they really complimented my eye color as well as my skin tone. It's not a color scheme I'd use for daily wear but it's a nice bright look for a spring or summer day if you're wearing a floral dress or going to the beach in a brightly colored bathing suit or something along those lines.
I wouldn't say the shades were insanely pigmented but they were well pigmented and very blendable and easy to apply. I have not tried all of the colors yet but overall my first impressions are positive and this palette has potential.

I feel that Lorac is a highly under rated brand. They offer highly pigmented shadows that practically apply themselves. It's hard to go wrong because most of their palettes already due to color combo match work for you. They always vary from some light shades to dark and they use a lot of neutrals in the palettes. I own several of their palettes but I am hesitant to buy more because a lot of their palettes are similar to one another when it comes to color scheme and I don't want to end up with a ton of palettes that feature the same colors. Of course their specialty lines and collabs like the Disney palettes are excluded from this scenario as they feature some more vivid and uncommon colors.
This particular palette has a great combo of soft and neutral shades which is great when you are trying to stay natural looking. While they don't stand out as much as other tones they're bound to make an impact in sheer quality. It's definitely easy to match with nearly any outfit and suitable for daily wear.

This tonic really assists me with so many of my skin issues. I cleanses very well and eliminates any dirt or makeup left behind after cleansing. No matter how well I cleanse my skin, the glow tonic still manages to find a spot I missed. It clears my pores and makes them appear smaller after it dries. It reduces acne breakouts and helps fade existing acne scarring. It contains a mild exfoliant that clears away dead skin cells leaving your skin fresh and positively glowing. If you have oily skin it controls oil and mattifies shine. There's no rinsing needed after application. It performs all of these functions without over drying your skin so there's no peeling or flakiness. The formula is very gentle and doesn't irritate or burn. The cotton pads are durable yet feel soft against your skin and sit conveniently in the stand right next to the tonic. It looks so pretty on my dresser. I use the compartment in the front to store my jewelry and hair ties. I absolutely adore it. -

I received a travel size of this product in my birchbox subscription. I was actually recovering from a horrific breakout and remembered I wanted to get around to trying this since it is for congested skin. While it's mainly a spot treatment I put it nearly all over my face because my entire face was practically a problem area.
Here are some things I noticed. First and foremost the scent is very pleasant. It's bright and citrusy. It's pretty liquidy and not very thick. It dries very quickly. Nearly almost as fast as you can apply it to your face. You can already feel it drying right under your finger tips.
For something that is meant to be for congested skin it certainly contains a lot of oils which I discovered after reading the ingredients. It doesn't feel very oily so I don't believe there is a high concentration of oils and at the very least they're essential oils so you'd hope they're more pure. It definitely doesn't dry your skin out but it also doesn't moisturize very well which is the main think I look for in a serum. I want it to be the catalyst between my skin and my moisturizer to increase effectiveness.
It is supposed to calm the skin but the initial reaction it gave me was more invigorating than calming. I wore it overnight and my breakout didn't look any worse but I don't think it was any better either. Fortunately it didn't create any more acne and may be it even prevent some from surfacing for all I know. I'll give it another go in the future and see if my reactions change.
