Life Brand Charcoal Peel Off Face Mask
didn't seem to be take any black heads out but did a good job of smoothing my skin overall. however it is really messy to use and if it doesn't dry completely getting the bits off is a pain. lots and lots of water and scrubbing.

I've owned two hotplate style popcorn makers, preferring them over hot air types and when the second one stopped working well i decided to look at some other options. happened to be in Walmart when i found this, I was looking for another brand. It's fairly simple. Put kernels, oil and salt in the bowl, put the lid on and put into the micro. getting the timing is a bit hard and the container is pretty small but overall it does a decent job. there were quite a few kernels left unpopped but what did pop tasted good and wasn't wet despite the condensation on the lid. -

i'm not blown away by this product but love that the SPF is so high. it is getting harder and harder to find a reasonably priced moisturizer with an SPF of 30 or higher. the only disappointment is that the formula is a little thick and stays on the surface of your skin. fortunately i'm pretty fair so this isn't a huge issue but anyone with a less fair complexion might find this too white. i also find it makes my skin tingle a bit upon application. -
Covergirl Oh Sugar Tinted Lip Balm

i usually don't buy covergirl but this was on offer for $7 and i like a tinted balm so i decided to give it a go. it doesn't look like much at the initial stage but i caught a glance of myself a bit later and there was a lot of colour. if you want a thick balm this is not it. i found it wore off quickly and generally i don't have to reapply often as i don't seem to eat off my lip products. it has a very sugary smell but no taste which surprised me. -

i got this free from a points program so i wasn't expecting it to be great. overall it does what it says, it vibrates and heats. there are two small vibrating pods which if you line them up correctly can it lower and mid back at the same time but no idea how you'd go about using these on your shoulders. the vibrating part has two settings and turns off after about 20 minutes of use. the heating part heats up quickly but gets too hot very fast. there is no shut off for the heating part and only 1 setting. there are velcro straps which i guess are supposed to hold this to you as you aren't supposed to lie on or against it. but they're too short to go around your body - mine is pretty average sized so mostly their useless. if this is more than $50 it's not worth it. -
NYX Cosmetics Butter Gloss
i purchased the NYX advent calendar last year (2016) and got 12 mini glosses in the kit. i have a lot of colours now but i don't find myself reaching for them as i find the semi matte gloss a bit dry and thick. i end up wiping most of it off with my... +
i purchased the NYX advent calendar last year (2016) and got 12 mini glosses in the kit. i have a lot of colours now but i don't find myself reaching for them as i find the semi matte gloss a bit dry and thick. i end up wiping most of it off with my finger leaving more of a stain which, as i like the feeling of something on my lips, means i feel as if i forgot to put something on when i go out. -

I'll admit i was binging Riverdale and loved the makeup used by the girls enough to look up the covergirl products. i didn't notice the particular product was a long last product as i find these a bit dry to use. There's a more opaque gloss and then a shimmery one to go over it and they are quite pretty together but after a few hours the gloss starts to feel chalky. -

This was on offer at SDM in the discount bin. it had basic browns in shiny shadow and seemed decent. I tried it with the add on eye primer which was awful, so we'll have to try again tomorrow to see if the shadow lasts, It did not with with the lid primer. the only odd thing is the design, the lid opens to the side, the long end up rather than the back as you would normally expect. -

if you actually don't need primer this might work but then why would you buy primer. this came as an add on to an eyeshadow palette by the same company and so i tried it. within a few hours my right eye, which because it's deep set is the worst but another hour later the left started to crease too. by about hour 6 most of my shadow had gone. if you really need primer this one is too oily and doesn't make the shadow stay. -
Real Techniques Setting Brush
An offering from the Premium program and something i would never consider buying myself. i do use it occasionally for a bit of highlight on the top of my cheeks but it is not something I'd spend my own money on.
