All the skincare I finished this month!
✅ 10/10 ~ I finished a mini sample size. I love this moisturizer! SO hydrating! Worked so well under makeup; wasn't too thick and watery that it ruined my makeup or made me oily throughout the day. I believe in having a great moisturizer no matter th...
Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream Moisturizer with Squalane
✅ 9/10 ~ I finished a mini size. LOVE how soft and moisturizing this felt on my skin! Very lightweight and “cloud like”. Worked great under makeup. Did not irritate my skin. The only thing I didn't like was the smell. The entire Pink Cloud line has t...
Herbivore Pink Cloud Soft Moisture Cream 1.7 oz
✅ 11/10 ~ I LOVE this product! I use this as my acne treatment twice a week. I do not exfoliate my skin with a cleanser in the shower ( Still double cleanse, just no exfoliant) and wash my face with the PanOxyl face wash and have the smoothest, acne ...
Overnight Exfoliating Treatment
✅ 11/10 ~ This is my favorite overnight mask! It’s cooling but not burning which I love. VERY hydrating! It’s definitely on the pricy side, but it’s SO good so I don’t mind paying for it. It never breaks me out but makes my skin feel so hydrated and ...
Hydro Biotic - Overnight hydrating face mask
✅ 11/10 ~ this has become my new favorite serum in my routine!! It is extremely hydrating! Smells so good! Doesn’t break me out or irritate my skin. I think this is the first product I’ve ever tried with Bakuchiol in it and I absolutely love it!! It’...
Slushy Serum Moisturizer Crush Infused with Bakuchiol - iNNBEAUTY PROJECT
✅ 10/10 ~ I finished a mini size. I absolutely LOVED this SPF!!! It has the iconic Glow Recipe watermelon scent which I love. This melted into my skin so nicely and didn’t leave any white cast! I struggle with sunscreens breaking me out but this one ...
Watermelon Glow Dew Shield SPF 30
✅ 8/10 ~ This took me forever to get through! This didn’t do anything for my dark circles, but it is super hydrating!! I liked using this to hydrate my under eye before I applied makeup. It helped my products on top not look cakey or patchy since my ...
Neutrogena ® Hydro Boost Eye Gel-Cream
✅ 7/10 ~ I finished a very small mini of this and it was just ok. I only used it a few times because the bottle was so small. But it’s super hydrating and leaves no white cast. It also didn’t break me out. I would definitely try it again in a bigger ...
Water Drench Broad Spectrum SPF 45 Hyaluronic Cloud Moisturizer|1.7 fl
✅ 11/10 ~ I have lost count of how many of these I’ve gone through! I am so so sad though that Tree Hut discontinued these! They are literally the best lip scrubs ever!! The formula is very rough so it removed all the dead skin off my lips effortless...
Tree Hut Sugarlips Mint Lip Scrub 0.34oz
Makeup
All the makeup I finished this month!
❌4/10 ~ It pains me to say that I did not like this product at all! I LOVE Benefit's brow products, but this wax did not do it for me. The product itself if white, not clear, so sometimes the white shows up in my brows. My brows also don't stay in pl...
Fluff Up Brow Wax
❌ 4/10 ~ I finished Dark Peach. I have repurchased this several times and I liked it, but I noticed it started getting patchy underneath my eyes, even though I did all my skin prep and my under eyes were hydrated. I’ve liked it but I have since found...
Pro Fix Stick Correcting Concealer
✅ 11/10 ~ I have lost count how many of these I’ve gone through! This eyeliner is very black which I love. It lasts ALL day and doesn’t budge! This is just as good as my high end Tarte eyeliner - but this one is only $5!! You can get it online from U...
Ultra Black Breakup Proof Skinny Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner - Wet n Wild | Ulta Beauty
✅ 1000/10 ~ this is the best gel eyeliner ever!!!!!! I only use this on my waterline, but it lasts ALLLLLL day!!!! Literally doesn’t budge at all. And this lasted me 6 months wearing it almost every day! I’ve tried quite a few gel liners for my water...
Lasting Drama® Matte Waterproof Eyeliner
✅ 9/10 ~ I finished a mini size of this bronzer and I loved it!! It was a really good shade match. Very pigmented and easy to blend. I would definitely buy a full size!
Laguna Bronzing Powder
✅ 1000/10 ~ Again I have lost count of how may of these I’ve gone through!! My favorite brow pencil of all time, truly the only one I’ll use. Very pigmented, easy to apply, and I very easily found my perfect shade match! I recommend this brow pencil ...
Precisely, My Brow Pencil
Sprays
All the sprays I finished this month!
✅ 8/10 ~ Very fine mist! Calming scent; I love to use this in my nighttime routine before bed or when I use my NuDerma Skin Therapy Wand. Very affordable and lasted me a long time. I bought other mists that I liked better than this one so I wasn't re...
REVOLUTION Overnight Calming Dream Mist 3.38oz - Missing Pump
❌5/10 ~ This used to be my go to setting spray, but the Loreal is a better dupe, and I've found even better setting sprays. This worked well for spraying in between steps to make your makeup last longer. I didn't like using this to set my whole face....
On 'Til Dawn Setting Spray | ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr
✅ 8/10 ~ I LOVE this spray! I saw Glamzilla use it and I bought it immediately. I like to spray it in between makeup steps. It makes my skin feel super hydrated and melts all my products together rather than melting them off. And it smells really goo...
Spray Serum
✅ 1000/10 ~ I finished a mini size. This has become my new favorite setting spray!!!! It mattifies my entire face so effortlessly - and my makeup does not budge ALL day!!! Doesn’t make me cakey or feel dry/tight on my skin. This is the best setting s...
HUDA BEAUTY Easy Bake Blurring Setting Spray with 16-Hour Wear
Makeup Removers
All the makeup removers I finished this month!
❌4/10 ~ I do not use makeup wipes like this on my face to remove makeup. I use them more to clean off my hands or tools while doing my makeup. I found these randomly at TJMAXX so they were super cheap. They did a good job cleaning the makeup off my h...
Rich Radiance Cocoa Butter Cleansing Wipes 30Ct
✅ 10/10 ~ You know I LOVE this makeup remover! Never irritates my eyes or skin, never breaks me out. Removes ALL my makeup and skincare effortlessly.
Micellar Cleansing Water for Waterproof Makeup - Garnier SkinActive
❌ 6/10 ~ I finished a mini size. I hate the way this smells. And no matter how much water I add to it, it doesn’t get milky / watery like other cleaning balms do. It’s hard to explain, but the consistency didn’t change no matter how much I rubbed it ...
Take The Day Off™ Charcoal Cleansing Balm
Cleansers
All the skincare I finished this month!
✅ 100/10 ~ I LOVE this exfoliator! The packaging is so cool and sanitary which I also love. The cap doesn't actually come off, it just twists and you can squeeze the product out. This is a perfect, every day, GENTLE exfoliator! It doesn't make my ski...
Reflekt 1 Daily Exfoliating Face Wash
✅ 100/10 ~ This is my favorite facial cleanser of all time!! I don't know why people hate on Tatcha's products because they make my favorite cleansers ever! Never breaks me out or makes my skin feel tight, dry, or irritated. Japanese skincare is seri...
The Rice Wash Soft Cream Cleanser
Hair Products
All the hair products I finished this month!
✅ 11/10 ~ I absolutely love this spray! I use it as a Detangler and as my first step after I washed my hair. I love the grow long line because it truly does make my hair grow long super fast. Using this and the grow long hair mask my hair grew 4 inch...

Vitabrid C12 Scalp+ Shampoo: Thicker Fuller Hair Strengthening
Wash Off Masks
All the wash off masks I finished this month!
❌2/10 ~ I did not love this. It took me forever to finish this. I love wash off masks but I never reached for this one. Hate the packaging - once you get down to the last little bit it's super hard to get it out because the opening is so small. This ...
Introducing the Watermelon Glow Hyaluronic Clay Pore-Tight Facial
✅ 9/10 ~ I loved this mud mask! You only have to wear it for 2 minutes to reap the benefits. I would use it about twice a week in the shower after I washed my face and just left it on for the rest of my shower. It elevated my routine. It made my skin...
Purifying Mud Mask
Patches
All the patches I finished this month!
✅ 1000/10 ~ These patches are a lifesaver!!! I need a lifetime supply. Caffeine usually gives me a headache and doesn’t do anything to wake me up. But on days where I don’t sleep well or just can’t get out of bed, I put this patch on and I am awake a...
B12 Awake Plant-Based Wellness Patch - The Good Patch | Ulta Beauty
Did NOT Finish
All the products I did NOT finish this month and why!
❌-10/10 ~ I did not finish this! I have NEVER had an allergic reaction to a makeup or skincare product before. I was using this and I didn't love it but I didn't want to waste the product so I tried to use it up. It irritated my eyes and did not remo...
Oatbae Oil Makeup Remover
✅ 8/10 ~ I am obsessed with these lip liners!!! They do not plump my lips as advertised (they are still very spicy 🌶️, but I get no plumping effect), but they are very long lasting and pigmented. I really love this formula! But I did not finish this...
Duck Plump Plumping Lip Liner | NYX Professional Makeup
❌ 0/10 ~ I have a mini and I did not finish it! This is suooosed to be used daily before skin prep to gently exfoliate your face. Instead, this completely destroyed my skin barrier! I broke out so bad after only using this a few days. It burns and ma...
