Haircare
✅ 9/10 ~ This was my first time trying a hair gloss and I really liked it! Smells so good! The bottle lasted me a few months. Unfortunately it’s not very easy to find and took about a month to ship to me. I can’t find this on L’Oréal’s website or any...

Not Your Mother's - Balancing Act Invigorating Scalp Shampoo
✅ 10/10 ~ Helped so much with my itchy and flakey scalp! Definitely made my hair stronger, I noticed a lot less breakage. I need to buy a bigger bottle. This was my first time trying this and the bottle size I bought was a a great size to try out a n...
Classic Clean 2-In-1 Dandruff Shampoo
✅ 9/10 ~ I really liked this! The thinner formula was really nice, didn’t feel heavy or like it was weighing down my hair. Hair didn’t look greasy either. Doesn’t really have a scent which is fine. I will say it is harder to get out of the bottle onc...
OLAPLEX Nº.7 BONDING OIL™
✅ 10/10 ~ This hair mask is awesome! It makes my hair feel so smooth and silky and glossy! I wish that this bottle was bigger, but for about $13 it’s not a bad amount of product. The way my hair feels after washing this out is insane!
EverPure Sulfate Free Glossing 5-Min Lamination Hair Mask
✅ 100/10 ~ I went through another one this month! I love that on the back side it has the recommended dosage and depending on how much hair you have that’s how much you should use. I have a TON of hair so I always go through this super fast. This alw...

Curl Definition Detangler $8.99
✅ 9/10 ~ FREE SAMPLE FROM SEPHORA! THIS LASTED A LONG TIME, A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY! BUT I ALSO DIDN’T USE IT REGULARLY. SMELLS SO GOOD. VERY THICK AND FELT HEAVY IN MY HAIR - WOULD PREFER A THINNER FORMULA. OVERALL WORKED VERY WELL. NEVER FELT OVER...

Maybelline Fit Me Matte Poreless Powder
✅ 1000/10 ~ This is my all time FAVORITE cream bronzer!!! Lasts ALL day! Super creamy and blends like butter. The shade match is perfect. I think this is the second or third one I’ve gone through. They do last a long time but I seriously use it almos...
No Limits Cream Bronzer Stick
❌ 6/10 ~ I used to use this as my everyday setting powder, it’s supposedly amazing but my makeup would run and get oily and melt throughout the day. But I have a new found love of using it to bake my under eyes and cheeks. This is actually not an emp...
Translucent Loose Setting Powder
✅ 9/10 ~ COMES OUT LIKE A NEUTRAL, FAIR SKIN TONED FOUNDATION, BUT THEN BLENDS OUT SO BEAUTIFULLY!

AND OF COURSE LOVE THE AFFORDABILITY!
PanOxyl PM Overnight Spot Patches
❌ 5/10 ~ I really love that this doesn’t burn my eyes! However this did not importe my lash length at all. Lashes did feel a little stronger and I noticed less breakage. It was super affordable, but didn’t do anything to improve the length of my lash...

❌ 2/10 ~ This is a product I did NOT finish in April and here’s my brutally honest reason why:
This is the Belif Super Drops Niacinamide Vitamin C Glow Serum.
