This primer has a unique texture, not like any skincare I've used before, and especially not a primer. It really does feel like jelly, and they give you a nice sized amount in the jar. Application is pretty easy, although product does dry fairly quickly (although stays tacky, but is no longer spreadable after). I didn't feel like this was the most hydrating product I've used, but definitely not bad. It ultimately did make my skin feel less dry, and it did keep my foundation on pretty well! -

I definitely enjoyed this product and thought it tasted nice. I feel like it's hard to go wrong with a mint tea which is maybe why I wasn't completely impressed like I could have been with some of their other more creative flavours (Lychee Rose for example). They definitely do mint tea well if you prefer that sort of thing to more unique tastes. It was concentrated, refreshing and I enjoyed it overall. The packaging was also cute. The tea comes in individual bags, so if you have a diffuser its probably not worth paying extra for packaging.. although they are convenient to just slip into any bottle. Would definitely buy from this brand, but would like to explore the other flavours they have to offer! -

I generally prefer using spray on sunscreen to give a nice even layer, which I have a hard time achieving with cream. I do have to say that I really liked the texture of this gel version. The hydro boost line is quite hydrating and left my skin feeling nice. Unfortunately, it hasn't been hot/sunny enough for me to test it's SPF quality, but based on the assumption that it does what it says it will do, I thought this to be a very nice product.

Raspberry is my favorite flavour and this drink did not disappoint. Normally drinks like this are wayyyy too sweet for me, and this one was as well, but I drank it with part skarkling water to cut down on how sugary it is.
Could definitely picture myself enjoying this in the Summer next to the pool on a hot day.

Neutrogena All-in-One Make-up Removing Cleansing Wipes Singles

Favourite thing about this product is their convenience. Makeup wipes in themselves are great for on-the-go, but coupling that with 1 wipe per package is even better. Sometimes I only want to bring a couple wipes out with me, not an entire thick package. Of course, the excess packaging is also kind of crappy for environmental reasons, but can of course be recycled.
The actual product is pretty decent, I have never been ENTIRELY satisfied with any makeup wipe I have used when trying to remove mascara. They usually always leave a little bit of residue on the eyelashes/eye area, but for the most part they worked pretty well!

I don't get super dry hands, but I do get rough cuticles, and figured this might help. I instantly loved the formula, it's gel rubs into skin quite nicely. The scent is a light, clean scent and is nice for the hands. The only negative of this product is that there is a SLIGHT residue after you let the product soak into your skin, it's not unpleasant, but it's not entirely gone.

Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Acne-Prone Skin Clay Mask
I love clay masks and this one did a pretty decent job. I have dry skin, and have some blemishes, and this product helped reduce my pores and made my skin feel fresh.

Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Acne-Prone Skin Cream-to-Foam Cleanser
I like this product, and I think it would work well for someone who has maybe combination skin, but it didn't work amazing for me. I have dry skin, but do get blemishes and although it didn't dry my skin out even more, there are just better products... +
I like this product, and I think it would work well for someone who has maybe combination skin, but it didn't work amazing for me. I have dry skin, but do get blemishes and although it didn't dry my skin out even more, there are just better products that i've used for my skin type. That is not to say that this cleanser is bad, it did make my skin clean, just maybe not right for me personally! -

There was a lot of product in this pouch (enough to do a super thick layer) and was fun to peel off. Unfortunately, there was a bit of residue left, but perhaps I didn't leave it to dry long enough because of how thick I put it. It was easy to wash off the excess though, and did make my skin feel quite nice! -

A face mask is usually used to revive, purify and moisturize skin. Unfortunately, this mask did not achieve these effects for me. The mask was easy-ish to apply, although it did start drying a little faster than I would have liked (I was still finishing up application). When the mask was dried, it was hard to remove. It did not come off in one peel-off piece as I had expected, or hoped. Also, because of this is irritated my skin a bit, although it did feel less dry.
Ultimately, I am not sure if this product is crummy or if it is just not right for my (dry/sensitive) skin. I will end on a positive note, the kiwi line has a fantastic scent.
