The absolute BEST setting spray and I’m heartbroken that they reformulated the line and this one seems like it’s gone!
Would repurchase IF POSSIBLE IN CANADA ✅
All Nighter Hyaluronic Acid Waterproof Dewy Setting Spray
The cream part of this blush is amazing. Pigmented, blendable, beautiful. HOWEVER, I hate the powder half. I feel like it’s patchy and chalky, so for that reason I wouldn’t repurchase. It’s a bit expensive to only use half of the product, and I have ...
Major Beauty Headlines - Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush - PATRICK TA
Used up a mini of these, and I literally don’t even need to tell you that these are good. You KNOW CT setting spray is amazing.
Would Repurchase ✅
Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray
My third one of these! The tubing mascara that made me swear off regular mascaras and it’s so inexpensive!!! So many of my friends got put onto this too.
Would repurchase ✅
e.l.f. Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara
Skincare 🫶🏻
Such a good inexpensive product. Love using it on my lips, and locking it in with some lip oil on top!
Would repurchase ✅
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides) 23% Off
My favourite moisturizer at the moment! Gone through a couple full-sized containers of this, but I like to take these mini’s traveling! Always use my Sephora points if these are available.
Would repurchase ✅
innisfree Green Tea Seed Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Cream
A good option for brightening eye cream! I used up a couple of these already.
I didn’t repurchase because I have some other eye creams I want to try, but I would ✅
Bright & Tight Eye Cream | Vitamin C + Tranexamic Acid for Dark Circles & ...
I love trying new sheet masks and this one surprised me because it was a JELLY one! Love how it stayed on my face without being a mess, and that it made my skin so glowy 🍊 💛
Life Brand Brightening Serum 1% Vitamin C Sheet Mask
Nice if you like a GLOWY face, but for some could be straight up greasy, and it does pill under makeup unfortunately. Would only wear on makeup-free days.
Not bad but I have SPFs I like better, so for that wouldn’t repurchase ❌
Ultralight Face Fluid SPF50
THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE SCENT/FLAVOUR. This could be a great product if it didn’t smell like burnt rubber and smokey mezcal. I love that it’s SPF 50 so I tried to make it work for two years, but I just cannot finish it.
Binned 🗑️
Ultra Violet SPF Lip Balm
Got this in a FabFitFun box like 5 years ago and I just don’t think retinol is stable for that amount of time. Didn’t notice any differences while using this and I just stopped picking it up.
Binned 🗑️
Verso Super Eye Cream | Effective and energizing with Retinol 8
A staple in my AM and PM skincare routine. My skin LOVES it. Hydrating, calming, healing, and so inexpensive! A holy grail product for me.
Repurchased ✅
Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioner (500ml)
If you’ve seen any of my other beauty lists, you already know my feelings about this lip balm. I’m absolutely obsessed with this scent in particular from Summer Friday’s, the rest just don’t do it for me. There’s for sure a difference in the formula ...
Lip Butter Balm - Summer Fridays - Pink Sugar
I have been consistently using and repurchasing this product for the past 14-15 years. I love it. I branched out recently to find a cheaper alternative because this is a bit pricy, but I do still love and would repurchase of COURSE ✅
Sensibio H2O Micellar water | Cleansing, makeup remover water for sensitive ...
Hair Products 🧖🏻♀️
I neeeeeed to restock this soon! Left my scalp so healthy, and my hair definitely grew longer. Perfect to use the months leading up to my wedding!
Will repurchase ✅
Ouai Scalp Serum
This product lasted me YEARS. A decent heat protectant for dry hair. I don’t think it’s BETTER than drugstore options though.
Would repurchase if on a good sale, but not at full price.
thermashape 2-in-1 spray
I liked it, but I wouldn’t buy a full-size. Again, not better than drugstore options.
Wouldn’t buy a full size, but would get a mini again with Sephora points.
Drybar Hot Toddy Heat Protectant Mist
I always use this after a tropical vacation full of pool and ocean swimming! Was complimented on my hair following the use of this, and was told my hair looks shinier and blonder 👱🏻♀️ ✨
Would repurchase ✅
Swimmers Wellness® Remedy - Get Rid of Green Hair & Chlorine Damage
I really hated the smell of this. It made it unusable for me. It was also just too heavy for my low-porosity hair-type
Binned 🗑️
OI All In One Milk Hydrating hair milk for reducing frizz
So proud of myself for getting through all my hair oils this year. This was a nice one! Not my absolute favourite, but I enjoyed it while I had it.
Not repurchasing because I have other faves, BUT WOULD if they were out and I needed another good op...
Food For Soft Multi-Use Hair Oil Serum
Body 🧼
Another mini product I always snag if Sephora has them for points. Love the mini for traveling.
Would repurchase the full size ✅ or get another mini
Brazilian Bum Bum Cream - Skin Tightening Body Cream
Not necessary, but I just don’t feel like my shower is complete without this.
Repurchased ✅
Simply Sensitive® Daily Cleansing Wash
Sol De Janiero Bum Bum cream DUPE formula wise, that smells like chocolate, and is like $6.
Love especially in the summer or before/on vacation to smooth out any cellulite
Would repurchase ✅
Palmers Firming Butter

The best smelling hand sanitizers ever and the packaging is just the best. I always keep one in my purse and in my car 👌🏻
Repurchased ✅
Moisturizing and Uplifting Hand Sanitizer Sprays
Just one of my go-to’s! So many zero aluminum deodorants don’t work, but this one is solid!
Repurchased ✅
Dove Zero Aluminum Deoderant
Twooooo of these somehow. This is my favourite toothpaste because I have sensitivities to ones typically in store! Hard to find toothpastes without SLS but that alsooo have fluoride still!
Repurchased ✅
Hismile Smooth Mint Toothpaste
Nope. Just no. Trash and didn’t whiten evenly. Just use Crest white-strips.
Binned 🗑️
HISMILE Pap+ Whitening Pen - Peroxide-Free
The BEEESSSTTTTT anddddd cheapest mouthwash ever. It’s like $5 and it works amazingly. Better than lysine or anything else.
Repurchased ✅
