Celavi Pomegranate Sheet Mask





Since I have more "free time" on my hands being stuck in quarantine, I have been using all the sheet masks "I never had time for". I bought this off Amazon as a package of assorted "flavors" but, all from the same brand. I always loved pomegranates so, this was one of the first masks I tried from this brand. The mask went on easy and fit my face well. It didn't have a strong noticeable scent. My face felt refresh and hydrated but, it didn't wow me. I felt like this was a very basic mask that was mostly for hydration purposes. For around $2 a pop, it was an okay buy and I might get it again if I am looking for a hydration mask and on a budget.

Colourpop Matte Lux Lipstick - Hi Striker











  The full matte coverage lipstick promises to go on smoothly. However, the first few swipes I noticed it tugged against my skin and didn't go on evenly. I am assuming there was a thin layer of wax which probably caused the tugging. And after a few uses, the lipstick would go on smoothly. The lipstick is enriched with pomegranate, goji fruit, and grape seed extracts but, I found the lipstick to be drying on my lips. Overall, I still found the highly pigmented lipstick a great buy for $7.

Burt's Bees Cranberry & Pomegranate Body Butter

I am a huge fan of pomegranate. I tried Burt’s Bees Cranberry and pomegranate body scrub and I loved it.  The body butter is packed with cranberry seed and pomegranate oils and cocoa and jojoba butter. The potent cocktail promises to replenish, moisture and hydrate dry and itchy skin. The thick fragrant body butter absorbs easy and doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy. Overall, I like this body butter as made my skin really soft and left my skin with a soft fragrance on my skin.

TBS Born Lippy Pomegranate Lip Balm

The cult classic lip balm in now in a stick format, which means less sticky fingers! I have tried a couple of TBS lip products and they are usually hit or miss. The lip balm supposedly has a transparent shimmer but I didn’t see anything. The lip balm does impart a slight subtle shine but like the shimmer it’s hardly apparent. The lip balm does moisturize and condition my lip and has a sweet scent --- I could see how it can be considered a pomegranate scent but I wouldn’t consider it pomegranate, if I was smelling it for the first time. A very average lip balm, I might get it again if it was heavily discounted, otherwise I would stick with the basics -  Chapstick/Nivea/Blistex.

Aquiesse - Egyptian Pomegranate Candle









The soft scented soy wax is a blend of silver sage, pomegranate, patchouli, and Indian teak. The 10oz candle has a 100 hour burn time. It had delicate scent that smells nice but it doesn't last very long.

Skin79 Fruit Mask Pomegranate Girl




Never one to say no to anything pomegranate, I had to try these masks. The tencel sheet mask is printed with a pomegranate inlayed over the slits for the eyes, mouth, and nose. It’s roughly on the same lines as animal and lace masks that has graphics printed on them. The floral scented mask left my skin feeling and smooth. Although, it felt a bit sparse on the included serum on the mask.

TBS Born Lippy Pomegranate Lip Balm













The cult favorite lip moisturizer is now in the stick format. I love TBS lip balms but hate the tubs since my fingers are not always clean. The new stick format was easier and more portable as well. The lip balm promises to give a pop of color, a bit of shimmer and shine, condition and moisturize lips.  I didn't notice any shimmer or color but my lips were soft and moisturized but it didn't last very long. The lip balm had a sweet pomegranate scent but no flavor.

Me Bath! Mini Bath Ice Cream

Photo Source - Me Bath!




Let me go on record, I LOVE baths! I am fond of the Me bath! ice creams but they were just too big sometimes for one bath and cutting it half was not feasible. I came across these and they were perfect. The mini baths salts are perfect for single use or you can throw in a couple to create your own scent. The mini balls do change the water color but doesn’t stain the bath tub. I also love how soft it makes my skin and leaves a soft scent on my skin. Each box contains 2 chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and 1 pomegranate, pear, apple, coconut, papaya and peach to make bath time fun. If you need inspiration on making a bath time scent; the box contains some recipes to make some fun variations like chocolate covered strawberries.
