Aveeno® Kids Sensitive Skin Face & Body Wash
I appreciate how gentle Aveeno baby is, for baby AND mom. This product has a decent amount of scent to it, so I'm unsure how comfortable I would be using this for infants.

Aveeno® Kids Sensitive Skin Face & Body Gel Cream
Perfect size for at home or travel! Thanks Aveeno Baby :) Love the gentleness of product--for mom and baby to share hehe. Gel texture is nice and light for summertime and warmer weather.

Garnier Sleek & Shine Glass Hair Water
Might be a useful tool to have on hand for every now and then.. if it worked as advertised + didn't dry out your hair! Really wish brands--yes even drugstore cheapies--would consider long-term hair health in their formulas.

Plus the scent... kind of smells like cigarette ash + air freshener?

Really lovely cleansing oil. Love that it emulsifies with water! Trialed it in my nighttime double cleanse and really enjoyed the smoothness and moisture it left after rinsing.
Not crazy about the strong fragrance, but might be passable as it will be rinsed off. For this reason, likely won't be adding it to my regular routine.
Bonus! Ingredients are malasezia/fungal acne friendly!

Orange Naturals Vitamin C 1000mg
It's the little details that matter sometimes. Love the matte soft touch feel of the bottle, strangely enough. Easy to take vitamins at a great price point. Thanks!

Orange Naturals Rapid Restore Probiotic 50B
Just started taking at the time of required review. Will need at least a month's trial to comment on effectiveness and bio-availability of the bacterial strains! Easy to take, pop-out pill packaging which is convenient. Thanks!

pHisoderm CLEAN Sensitive Skin Cream Facial Cleanser
Simple cleanser, does the trick. I do prefer a different finish, but at this price point it is very tempting to repurchase. A good cheapie to have in rotation!

My Clarins RE-MOVE Micellar Cleansing Water
Hesitant to use this on my skin with color, perfume and castor oil in the ingredients list. Was hoping for something more straightforward with simpler ingredients.

Rimmel London Kind & Free Mascara
I tested this against a fantastic $40 mascara. Verdict: definitely worth trying, or even switching over to it as your daily...!! Not enough differences to justify 4x price difference. PROS -1-3 swipes for really natural-looking lashes. This... +
I tested this against a fantastic $40 mascara.
Verdict: definitely worth trying, or even switching over to it as your daily...!! Not enough differences to justify 4x price difference.
PROS
-1-3 swipes for really natural-looking lashes. This also comes in dark brown in-stores!
-No smudging or dropping--wow!
-Eyes didn't feel dry or grainy at the end of the day.
-Lash shape stayed the same till the end!
-Cruelty free and vegan :)
CONS
-Like most cheapies, building/layering does not work as well as more expensive formulations.
-Application isn't super consistent/reliable (sometimes too much product is on wand).
-Lashes are a bit stiffer to the touch, which I didn't mind overall (fine, thin lashes here).
-Tiny con of course, but packaging is not gorgeous or weighted, but it closes nicely.
DIFFERENCES
Overall not enough differences to justify a 4x price difference. My husband could tell a difference when I asked him, but agreed they did not reflect the price difference. Super excited that it comes in dark brown as this will perfect that natural look this formula offers.
