✅ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️These are the I'm from Rice Toner Pads. I LOVED these toner pads! These are one of the first ones I got my hands on and I am hooked! These are super hydrating and soothing, not exfoliating at all which I'm ok with. I used these every morn...

✅ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the Babe Original Essential Lash Serum. This is by far the BEST lash serum I have found! I actually notice a difference in the length and durability in my lashes. They are longer, thicker, and fuller! My only complaint is this bu...
Essential Lash Serum
✅ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This is the Bubble Over Night Hydrating Sleep Mask. I LOVED this overnight mask!!! It is super super hydrating and actually soaked into my skin! It didn't sit on top and feel thick or heavy. It's definitely THICK but it melted into my ski...

✅ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This is the belif Aqua Bomb SPF 45 Hydrating Niacinamide Sunscreen. I finished a mini, so I didn't get a lot of use out of this since I use the 3 finger method to apply SPF. I used this maybe 5 times. This was a decent SPF. It was VERY hydr...

✅ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This is the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Toning Toner. I finished a mini. I liked this toner a lot! It has Centella Asiatica in it so it's super soothing on irritated skin which mine always seems to be. It always made my skin hydrated and c...

❌ ⭐️⭐️⭐️This is the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam. I finished a mini. This was ok. It was hydrating, and it lathered pretty well. But there was nothing super remarkable about this cleanser. It didn't really break me out which is great. I ...

❌ ⭐️⭐️⭐️This is the Farmacy Honey Halo Hydrating Ceramide Face Moisturizer. I finished a mini. I did not love this. I didn't like the smell. I LOVE honey and this had the worst artificial honey smell ever. This also made my skin super greasy and oily (and I already have oily skin so no thank you). It didn't work well under makeup at all. If I ...

❌ ⭐️⭐️⭐️This is the Farmacy 10% Niacinamide Night Face Mask. I finished a mini size, I only got to use it maybe 5 times if I used it sparingly. This is a VERY thick gel mask, so it was really hydrating. But It didn't feel like it soaked into my skin,...

❌ ⭐️⭐️ This is Honey Milk Lip Oil. I found this on Aliexpress, so I'm not sure what brand this is. I had bought this before YEARS ago and loved it, but when I repurchased this one this was not the same kind of formula at all. I finished it because it...

✅ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This is the Good Molecules B5 Hydrating Body Serum. It took me FOREVER to get through this bottle! I also didn't reach for it a ton because I don't love the smell. It's unscented, but I don't like the way it smells. However, this is such ...

❌ ⭐️⭐️⭐️This is the Olaplex Nº.6 BOND SMOOTHER. I finished a mini. I did not really care for this. I never reached for it. It didn't do anything for me. I didn't notice less frizz or more moisturized hair. It didn't tangle my hair though or make it f...

✅ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the Lancôme Cils Booster XL Lash Serum & Mascara Primer Base. I finished a mini. I actually only buy the mini size beacause the full size dried out so fast on me it wasn't worth the $30 I paid for it. This is still by far my ...

This is the Raw Sugar Lip Balm Lemon Sugar. I did NOT finish this! I don't think I've ever hated a lip product more. I don't love chapsticks. This technically is a lip balm, but I would call this a chapstick. It is not hydrating at all. I hate t...
