Inc.redible Jelly Shot Lip Quencher - Ex Revenge





Ah, I forgot to take a picture of the actual product. But, inside the tube is a clear balm with a flower at the base. I saw this lip balm advertised and in magazines everywhere. I was excited to try but, I saw that it got mixed reviews online. Thankfully I got this deluxe sample in one of the Sephora kits I purchased.

They call the product a "lip quencher" but, I found it very drying. The product is enriched with avocado, vitamin E, and rice bran oil to promote hydration. I had to constantly reapply throughout the entire day. The cute flower detail was cute until you used the product to the end. The flower detail just scratches the delicate skin on your lips. I think the newest version might have been reformulated with a new scent but, the one I had smelled terrible.

I think this is one of those "hype" or "Instagram" worthy product but, it doesn't do much for your skin. While the lip quencher was $10, I don't think it was worth that. I think I prefer Jurlique, Fresh, Rosebud Perfume Co.,  Jack Black, and Caudalie. Even the regular store-bought lip balms beat out this dud

Urban Decay Lipstick - 714 Mega Matte











I love Urban Decay products they are highly pigmented and leaves my makeup looking flawless. The Mega Matte is billed as a super intense red matte color. The lipstick is enriched with jojoba, avocado, aloe vera, babassu oil, illipe tree, vitamin C and E. The color pigment was a bit disappointing. The color was bright or went on smoothly along with my lips feeling dry. I found this lipstick a bit of a disappointment for the price.

Tony Moly I'm Real Avocado Mask Sheet Nutrition




The nourishing 3 layer pulp sheet mask is enriched with avocado and natural oils. The latex based essence promises to improve elasticity and nutrition in skin. The cotton mask fit my face relatively well and stayed put during the application. I noticed mild amount of essence drippage on my chin. My face was soft, smooth and felt glowing when I woke up in the morning.

Naobay Natural and Organic Oxygenating Cream Moisturizing








The creamy lotion is enriched with avocado and olive oil. It promises to nourish, protect and hydrate. The cream went in smoothly and left my skin looking radiant. I am not sure why it’s called oxygenating. I have tried Bliss Oxygen and it fizzes when you apply it to your face; this product doesn’t do that.

The overnight treatment is packed with CoQ10, DMAE, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Retinol, Vitamin E, Avocado, Grapeseed Oils and Organic Red Tea to revitalize dull complexion. The creamy moisturizer goes on smoothly and left my skin feel soft and smooth. When waiting up in the morning, my face felt soft, smooth and radiantly beautiful. I didn’t notice my skin feeling any firmer but it definitely revitalized my skin. I tried a small sample and I am sure the full size product might have enough product for me to notice my skin getting firmer. I would definitely get the full size but it’s a bit pricey ($85) so I might wait for a sale.

Mizon Enjoy Vital-Up Time Nourishing Mask Nourishing Your Rough Skin containing Fresh Avocado




You gotta love a product that has it’s entire life story in it’s name. The nourish mask is a part of the new mask line from Mizon. It is packed with avocado extracts, allantoin, trehalose, hyaluronic acid and sc-glucan (which sounds made  up or comes from space). The mask had a generous portion of serum and it left my skin smooth, soft and radiant. It also had a pleasant scent. I can’t wait to try more from this brand.

Tarte 12 Hour Amazonian Clay Lipstick - Inspired















The neutral lipstick is a soft beige color and is packed with clay and natural butters like mango, avocado and shea. The lipstick promises to provide rich, vivid and long lasting color. The lipstick went on smooth and felt creamy. Personally, the color was not my favorite.  I was looking for a neutral color but this matched my natural lip color to well. And it didn't last very long. I had to reapply quite often.

My Spa Life Forever Young Face Wrap - Avocado and Vitamin E








Something about putting a wet paper-thin cloth over my face makes me so relaxed. I was a bit hesitant to try this face mask as I am allergic to avocado. But since, I am glutton for punishment -- I went ahead and bought it. Avocado has long been touted as a superfood, by consuming it and also with skincare benefits. It has nourishing properties, soothe irritated skin, soften and hydrate skin. Avocados contain healthy fats and phytonutrients that pamper and protect the skin.  As being stuck inside the hotel room all day because of thunderstorms, I greedily tore the packet and applied the mask. The mask was thoroughly saturated with the serum and had a pleasant scent. I felt relaxed and my face felt cool. After 30 minutes, I removed the mask and my face was drenched with  the serum. I left it on for another 10 minutes to dry. My face did feel a bit tight, but it was soft and smooth afterwards. For $5 - $6 a mask, it is quite the bargain.

Julep Pomegranate Body Crème







This moisturizing cream is packed with pomegranate, papaya enzymes, shea butter, with jojoba, avocado, and kukui nut oils. I took two containers of this with me to Florida on a family reunion thinking the sun will dry out my skin leaving it scaly and dry. To my utter delight, this floral scented body crème kept my skin feeling soft and smooth the entire time. The creamy crème is a bit greasy if you apply too much but a little crème does go a long way. When opening the container the floral scent might be a bit overpowering to some but when rub on to the skin it leaves the skin delicately scented.
