I enjoyed the formula of this serum as well as the light rose-like scent. My skin didn't seem to like something in the formula, as I did experience some redness after using. The serum absorbed easily, with only minimal stickiness. I did not notice any real benefits, however, outside of my skin feeling a bit more moisturized. Given that this was a seven-day trial, it is possible that more benefits could come with time. Overall, this was a nice serum, but, given the price, I would expect to see more benefits. -
NYX Professional Makeup Jumbo Lash! Vegan False Lashes

This was my first time attempting adhesive lashes; I've used magnetic ones a couple times in the past, but am definitely a natural lash person. I trimmed off a bit so they were more natural-looking. I found these very lightweight and comfortable, and I would definitely recommend them to folks who are regular lash-wearers. The clear band was nice, because it did give the lashes a more natural look. However, this also made it more difficult to apply them, as I had trouble picking them up, even with my lash applicator. The length was good (dramatic without being over the top), and the lashes felt soft and fluffy. I had to recheck the package a couple times to see that they really were vegan because they felt so soft! So while these are a bit too advanced for me, for lash-wearers I would definitely recommend. -

As you can tell by the photo, I don't often use liner. However, when I used to do so regularly, my preference was a liquid formula like this one. As a liner, this was nice. The colour was a rich black, and it drew a nice line with no skipping. This also stayed put really well; it was actually a bit difficult to remove completely, even after using a cleansing balm and makeup eraser. The tip was a bit thick; I would prefer a thinner tip for a more precise line. As as a lash adhesive, this didn't work at all. I'm not sure if it's because it dries too quickly (definitely longer than it took me to apply the lashes!) or if it just doesn't have enough adhesive in the formula. But even after multiple attempts, trying to just get the lashes to stick on the liner without worrying about how it looked, I still couldn't get the lash to fully adhere. It did in places, but not in a reliable way. -
Maybelline New York Super Stay Vinyl Ink Longwear Liquid Lipcolor

I'm a lip balm and gloss person, so this was definitely not something I'd normally purchase. While the colour wasn't what I would choose (a bit too brown for my preference), the formula was really nice. The colour was rich and my lips didn't feel tight or dry when wearing, which was my expectation for a "vinyl" lip colour. They also felt moisturized when I removed the colour! The colour stayed well, and was matte with a bit of shine. It also had a nice vanilla-like fragrance. There was bit of feathering, so a liner might be a good choice with this. I think a lip colour formula like this is a bit too advanced for me, but for someone who is comfortable with using this kind of product, this is definitely one I'd recommend. -

I always manage to smear my polish after doing my nails, so I'm always looking for good quick-dry options. I enjoyed the formula of this essie expressie polish. It applied smoothly with even coverage after only one coat (I used over a clear base coat), which was a pleasant surprise, especially for such a dark shade. It did dry quickly and had a nice shiny finish. I used it on my toenails, and it has looked fresh for over a week! The only thing I did not care for was the brush. It's quite large, which made it difficult to avoid getting polish on my skin. I prefer a thinner brush for better control. -

I received this Shu Uemura cleansing oil free from Butterly and Shu Uemura in exchange for my honest review. I more often double cleanse with a balm rather than an oil, so it was fun to try something different. I really enjoyed this! It did a great job removing my makeup, didn't sting my eyes, and left my skin feeling soft afterwards. It also has a lovely, light floral fragrance. However, the price does seem a bit high for a product that stays on the skin so briefly. -

This was a nice basic mascara. It didn't clump, and provided a natural and lengthened lash look. However, even after applying many coats, I didn't see much difference to one coat. While it did lengthen my lashes and provide definition, I did not find that it provided much of a plumping effect. -

Cotton candy is not normally an ice cream flavour that I would consider purchasing, as I would expect it to be too sweet. However, this cotton candy was an exception! It was creamy and lightly sweet, with a subtle cotton candy taste. I also appreciated the rich, creamy taste and texture. -

This was my first time trying a shampoo bar, and I was pleasantly surprised. I expected it to feel like washing my hair with soap because of the bar presentation. However, instead I experienced a rich, creamy lather and a gentle clean. The bar also had a pleasant, slightly formal scent. The absence of any plastic packaging was another positive. -
Dr. Oetker Momenti Three Cheese Pizza
I received this product for free in exchange for review. The concept is great, but the execution is a bit lacking. The best part was the crust-nice and crunchy! However, I wasn’t a fan of the white sauce, and there wasn’t much taste overall... +
I received this product for free in exchange for review. The concept is great, but the execution is a bit lacking. The best part was the crust-nice and crunchy! However, I wasn’t a fan of the white sauce, and there wasn’t much taste overall. Adding extra toppings jazzed it up a bit, but it was still just okay. -
