July Favorites

Shiseido Essential Energy Moisturizing Cream: I bought this product and loved it since I started using it. It's extremely lightweight which makes it great for all skin types especially normal to oily. For something lightweight, you do not expect much hydration. I was wrong. It's extremely hydrating! It's great for dry skin like myself and it lasts all day without re-moisturizing.

OUAI Treatment Masque: I received this product and was thankful to find two more samples. I usually give my samples out so other people, friends and family, can try it out. I like this product so much I decided to use the two deluxe samples I received. It's easy to use and I've seen great improvements in my hair. My ends has been dry and crisp since I started bleaching my hair. This product has helped me run my fingers through my hair without it getting tangled.

Essie Good To Go Top Coat: I bought this product and glad I did. It's a good top coat. It keeps the polish looking new and shiny. Not only that, it's fast drying. I cannot live without a fast drying top coat or else I will have nasty looking polish on my nails. I'm so impatient when it comes to waiting for the polish to dry. I paint the night before and in the morning, it looks so good.

derma e Firming DMAE Eye Lift: I received this product. When I first got this product, I thought it was new. They just changed the packaging and I actually like the newer version better. It looks more professional. With that said, it still works the same on me. It's easy to use, hydrating, and it helps the fine lines around the eyes.

NIVEA Lip Butter in Raspberry Rose Kiss: I bought this product and loved it. There are products I love in the beginning and then start hating or products I hate to grow to love it. I did not with this product. I loved it from the beginning to the end. That's a huge plus! It smells great, it's easy to use, and most importantly it's hydrating. I did not see dry, chapped lips with this product whatsoever.

Finished Products

Shiseido Essential Energy Moisturizing Cream: I bought this product and do not regret at all. It's lightweight but puts a kick on hydration. It doesn't feel like you are wearing anything but it lasts all day. Best of all, the skin feels good the next day as well. I'm pretty impressed. The only thing I did not like about this product is the packaging. It's very disguising. The way it's shape it's very narrow at the top. I thought it would open up as you go to the bottom, but it was narrow from top to bottom. Even though I got it half off, it's expensive for a moisturizer.

Would repurchase: Yes.

Mount Lai The De-Puffing Jade Facial Roller: I bought this product and the handle on the right broke after couple usage. If you are spending money, you want it to last for some time. The crack in the middle broke when it fell on the ground. That is my fault. With that said, facial rollers are great for people who want to prevent aging, as well as, lymphatic drainage. It will be great for adults in their 20's and if you have really good skin in your 30's. It was fun rolling/massaging into your skin but I want faster results.

Would repurchase: No.

Rosejoice Gua Sha Tools in Rose Quartz: I bought this product and it came in three pieces. I ended up breaking one. I dropped it as usual and yes, I am not good with crystals. I didn't feel bad about breaking this since the price is doable. Also out of the three, I only use one. I should use the others. With that said, you get better results with Gua Sha than rollers in my opinion. This will be great for people in their 30's on. You see instant results but it doesn't last that long. For this reason, you need to keep using it to have a lasting result.

Would repurchase: Yes.

Crazy Rumors Lip Balm in Pink Grapefruit Juice: I received this product. Not only is the packaging cute, the ingredients are natural. With that said, it smells good and it's very light. You get used to the scent to a point you don't smell it anymore or at least for me. It's hydrating and improves your lip skin. I did not see dry chapped skin after several usage.

Would repurchase: Yes.

NIVEA Lip Butter in Raspberry Rose Kiss: I bought this product and do not regret it at all. Not only does it smell good, it's hydrating. It keeps my lips soft and moisturized throughout the day. It's probably one of my favorite lip balms ever. It's easy to use and it works well on my dry, chapped lips. If I haven't used any in awhile, I usually come back to this product. It hydrates my lips faster than any I have tried.

Would repurchase: Yes.

The Body Shop Almond Milk & Honey Gently Exfoliating Cream Scrub: I received this product and glad I finally tested it out. This product made me love scrubbing my body again. It softened my skin and helped improve the bumps on my body. I also like that the granules are on the small side.  It made it easier to rinse off in the shower.

Would repurchase: Yes.

OUAI Treatment Masque: I received this product and fell in love. It's easy to use and the results are amazing. My hair feels great after using this product, as well as, in-between usage. I don't feel dryness, as well as, the ends do not crack. I can even run my fingers through my hair! The best thing is it's long-lasting. It doesn't only last for a day.

Would repurchase: Yes.
