✅ 10/10 ~ I had a HORRIFIC experience with retinol the first time I used it. It literally peeled off layers of my skin till I was raw. It was so painful. This is AMAZING!!!! It is SO gentle. Thick consistency and makes my skin feel super smooth. Does...
RETINOL CORREXION® Line Smoothing Night Serum Capsules
✅ 11/10 ~ I LOVE these!!! Best facial razor ever! Super sharp and sleek. Also love how affordable they are! Gets all the peach fuzz off my face and helps me to shape my brows very nicely without having to deal with the painful plucking of tweezers!
Hydro Silk® Touch-Up Razor
❌ 7/10 ~ (This link is for both the scrub and lip mask, my review is ONLY for the lip SCRUB). I like my lip scrubs to be rough like my sugar scrubs, and this was just too smooth for me, kind of felt like a paste. I had to use my PMD cleansing device ...
Hunny Pot | Disney Winnie the Pooh Lip Scrub
❌ 6/10 ~ Again not rough enough for my lips to actually remove dead skin. Lasted a long time, there was a lot of product in this tiny container. Super affordable and smells really good!
I Heart Revolution Tasty Coconut Lip Mask
❌ 8/10 ~ This retails for $37 for the full size! Absolutely insane. It's thick and honestly feels like every single other Hyaluronic Acid Serum on the market. I prefer the one by Good Molecules that's only $12 for the full size. I did love that this ...
Dew Drops Mushroom Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamin C I Three Ships
✅ 9/10 ~ Thick consistency but a little greasy. Works great under makeup! This is also a dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury Miracle Cream that is $100! (and totally not worth that price in my opinion). This is an awesome price too which I love!
Revolution Pro Miracle Cream 50ml
❌ 6/10 ~ I HATED this for my face! But I LOVED it for cleaning my makeup brushes and sponges! You only get 1.3 oz and it retails for $13.99! That to me is too expensive for the tiny amount of product you get.
CeraVe Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover
✅ 10/10 ~ Loved the sample size so much that I bought the full size! Jam packed with amazing ingredients for your skin. Not terribly priced either for as much product that you get and considering it is an Asian Beauty Brand!
The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum - COSRX | Ulta Beauty
✅ 100/10 ~ LOVE LOVE LOVE this moisturizer!! Thick and not greasy! I used every last bit of this! Saved my acne skin prone skin from breakouts and healed existing ones! I don't mind paying a pretty penny for a good moisturizer, this one retails for $...
Rescue Party Barrier Comfort Cream
✅ 100/10 ~ LOVEEEEEE this!!!!! Thick (and not greasy!) and makes my skin feel so smooth. Helps all my skincare underneath work so much better. Super hydrating! This has become a staple in my routine!
Hydrascape Moisturizing Reverse Emulsion - MAKE Beauty
4
✅ 1000/10 ~ I go through these so fast! Out of all Garnier's Micellar Waters, this one is my favorite because I wear a lot of makeup and waterproof products, this takes it all off without my skin feeling dry or tight after. This also doesn't burn my ...
Micellar Cleansing Water for Waterproof Makeup - Garnier SkinActive
✅ 10/10 ~ Used every last bit of this! Did not break me out which I appreciate. Lasted me a LONG time - there is a TON of product in here! Price is not bad for how much you're getting!
Super Sized Clean It Zero Pore Clarifying Cleansing Balm - Banila Co | Ulta Beauty
Makeup
✅ 10/10 ~ This is my FAVORITE eyebrow product!!! Benefit has an amazing shade range (I'm shade 4). The tip is precise. Love that this is waterproof and it stays all day. I literally get perfect brows everytime!
Precisely, My Brow Pencil
✅ 11/10 ~ Lasts literally ALL day! No touch ups needed. This shade is jet black which I love. Makes my eyes look bold and defined. Only gripe about this is it's not sold in stores, I have to buy it online and wait for it to come in. But it lasted me ...
Maneater Liquid Eyeliner
✅ 9/10 ~ Smells SO good! Feels very creamy and blends super easily. My makeup lasts all day!
Marshmellow Smooth Makeup Primer
✅ 8/10 ~ I had a mini size of this and it lasted me quite a while, but I only use it to spray my face in between makeup steps. This is too expensive in my opinion for how little it works. I use this with another setting spray at the end of my makeup ...
Charlotte Tilbury Transfer-Proof Setting Spray - Sephora
✅ 100000/10 ~ I went through not one, but TWO of these in March! I need a jumbo size and a lifetime supply. This is the BEST setting spray out there! My makeup lasts literally day. I find it helps to spray this in between makeup steps to help your ma...
Infallible - 3-Second Setting Mist With Microfine, up to 36H wear
✅ 11/10 ~ PERFECT neutral shade! It is impossible for me to find a good shade match since I have neutral undertones, but this one is perfect! I loved this so much in the sample size that I bought the full size - which is only $18!! Lasts all day and ...
Fair Peeper Perfect Under-Eye Concealer - Winky Lux | Ulta Beauty
✅ 100/10 ~ I went through not one, but two of these in March as well! I'm shade 112 Ivory and it is a PERFECT match! Better than any “high end” powder I've ever tried. Lasts all day too which I love!
Maybelline Fit Me Matte Poreless Powder
Body Care
❌ 5/10 ~ I got a sample size of this from IPSY. Wasn't great, wasn't terrible. Lasted a long time because I never used it and by the end it came out completely watered down and I was unable to use it. I personally also prefer my scrubs to be rougher ...
SMOOTH AS SILK - Hand + Body Scrub
✅ 9/10 ~ This is a rough scrub which I really appreciate! Actually feels like it's exfoliating my skin. Loses points because it's $30 for 8 oz! From what I can find it also only comes in 3 scents, I wish there was more variety. I bought this because ...
KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub 10% AHA Fresh Strawberry
✅ 10/10 ~ Smells absolutely amazing!!! Rough enough too that I liked it and felt that it was actually exfoliating. Didn't break me out or cause any irritation either. I need a lifetime supply of this it is that good!
Juicy Couture® Velvet Velour Body Scrub
✅ 1000/10 ~ Drinking caffeine always gives me a headache, so I love using these instead! This is the only thing that both wakes me up, and keeps me awake throughout the day! I have chronic fatigue, so this has been a lifesaver for me! I need a lifeti...
B12 Awake Plant-Based Wellness Patch - The Good Patch | Ulta Beauty
✅ 8/10 ~ I had this in a deluxe sample size. This doesn't irritate my skin which of course I love. Does not have any scent, wish it did or wish they made a variety of scents. Super hydrating!!
Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration
Hair Care
✅ 10000/10 ~ This literally made my dry, itchy scalp disappear after only a few uses! It's super affordable and the bottle lasts a long time. I also cannot find this anywhere now! I think it was silently discontinued?? I'm not sure but so disappointe...
Balancing Act Soothing Scalp Serum
✅ 10/10 ~ Tried this for the first time and LOVED it! Super affordable and made my hair look and feel amazing!
Glass Hair Shine Hair Mask - Eva Nyc | Ulta Beauty
✅ 8/10 ~ I actually use this on my scalp, not my face, to exfoliate my scalp before I wash my hair. I apply this directly to my scalp and rub it in and leave it on for 10 minutes before I wash my hair. So far it is working well, but I haven't noticed...
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner - The Ordinary | Ulta Beauty
✅ 100/10 ~ I love this and I go through them super fast because of how much hair I have. Actually detangles my hair and makes it feel so silky and smooth! And the best part is it is super affordable! Only $11 on Amazon so I usually buy 2 at a time.
L'Oreal Elvive 8 Second Wonder Water
Perfume
✅ 10/10 ~ Smells SO good! Very elegant yet bold. I got a sample size of this from Sephora and I was very pleased with how big the sample was!
